Another FCS game of the week

Northern Iowa at North Dakota State

Two top 5 undefeated teams battling it out. If this one was in Iowa I might take Northern Iowa as they gave a whipping last week to a pretty good McNeese St team. Since it is not, nod goes to NDSU.

[SmoothPancakes]

Some interesting games this week. I'll check out both games Thursday night. I'll probably miss all of BYU-Utah State (unfortunately) thanks to work, but may catch the second half of Nevada-San Diego State.

Saturday, Air Force-Navy is going to be the top focus in the morning, if it's not cancelled because of the fucking idiots in Washington. If it does get played, I'll check out Illinois-Nebraska and Lehigh-Fordham during commercials and halftime. If it doesn't get played, I'll jump back and forth between the two games. 3:30, Rice-Tulsa will be the top game for me. I'll check in on the other three during halftime and commercials.

Night games, I'll probably focus on Ohio State-Northwestern, checking out Arizona State-Notre Dame and West Virginia-Baylor during breaks. And to cap the night, Washington-Stanford.

And of course, not on national TV.

This week, either the streak will end or we cement ourselves as the worst team in college football and the drive for 0-12 ramps up.

FIU just gave up 70 @ Louisville and So Miss 60 @ Boise. FIU lost by 21 to a descent at best FCS team at home. The game is at So Miss. So Miss wins 28-17.


Also some really sad for Sooner fans and Mack Brown.

United Airlines offers to fly Air Force to Navy game for free

The Navy-Air Force game is in jeopardy of being postponed because the Department of Defense suspended all intercollegiate athletics contests at Air Force, Army and Navy in light of the federal government shutdown.

One possibility being explored, according to the person who spoke to USA TODAY Sports, is whether Air Force could use private funds to make the trip and keep the game on schedule.

Well, United Airlines is offering to come to the rescue, tweeting Wednesday afternoon a solvable option to negate Air Force’s travel expenses to Saturday’s sold-out football game in Annapolis, Md.: An apparent free flight.

[ram29jackson]

and the NCAA will say no probably

[gschwendt]

Air Force at Navy & Army at BC officially approved by Secretary of Defense, source told @ESPN. Will be played as scheduled

Just saw on Twitter that the academy games will be played as scheduled. That's awesome to hear.

Edit: Ninja'd

[GatorfanStovy]

I swear I thought that played Thursday. I'm glad I was wrong and they play on Saturday and I get to watch it! Should be a fun one and real test for our defense with injuries against

In reality though, it's like saying an Astros-Marlins game can be played.

Thank god.

I still say fuck you to all of Washington, D.C. Especially since these games were pretty much still able to be played without problem from everything I've read, but were pretty much being hung out to dry at a fucking PR move and playing politics by the Department of Defense.

And there is the other end of the spectrum.............why is service academy football an "essential" expenditure of government?

I haven't seen much of yet, but if y'all can stop the run then you can probably beat by 2 TDs. I've heard that Florida sometimes has trouble scoring, but the Hogs' defense has a way of making the opposing offense look great. Hopefully this will be a fun game.

[SmoothPancakes]

And there is the other end of the spectrum.............why is service academy football an "essential" expenditure of government?

It's not an expenditure of government. Navy's football program (and entire athletic department if I'm remembering right) is completely self-sufficient and has no appropriated congressional funds and uses no appropriated funds.

Air Force and Army, their athletic departments are partially funded by and run with appropriated funds, but they have non-appropriated funds that they can use for football travel and games. All three academies submitted paperwork to the Pentagon detailed as such, and the Secretary of Defense approved this weekend's games to go ahead as planned. And home games are still fine for all three academies. It's the away games that are the issue due to travel, partly because upper-class Cadets at the Air Force Academy (not sure how it's handled at Army and Navy) are considered full military personal, so they may be subject to travel restrictions under the shutdown.

So, again, it's nothing but a bunch of PR bullshit. Because it potentially wouldn't look good with hundreds of thousands of government and defense civilian employees and contractors left hanging on furlough, while the academies (government run institutions) still play football and all of their other sports, so the Department of Defense went through all this bullshit to put on a pointless dog and pony show. And we'll keep going through this bullshit week after week as long as the shutdown lasts. They'll say the games are suspended that week, then Wednesday or Thursday, the Secretary of Defense will approve them to be played, rinse, wash and repeat.

Edit - Straight from the horse's mouth.

The football teams will be allowed to play because the games are paid for with non-appropriated funds, and have been long planned. Non-appropriated funds generally come from outside sources and are not approved through Congress.

Earlier in the day, Navy athletic director Chet Gladchuk said he was optimistic the Pentagon would allow the games to be played.

He said the athletic department had provided information to Pentagon officials to assure them that no government funds will be spent on any aspect of the game. Gladchuk said a Navy home game brings in about $4 million from tickets, sponsorship, television and radio rights fees and other revenues such as parking and concessions. The game essentially pays for itself, he said.

Football revenue also funds Navy's 32 other sports teams.

"It would be devastating to our budget," Gladchuk said about having a home game canceled.

At this rate Texas might just leave Mack Brown a bus pass to get back to Austin.

don't worry, no one will notice anyway
