Luke did jack squat with the website and nothing with the team during the football season beyond broadcast. Go follow Southern if you want to whine about him.

Man this is some BS from someone who’s supposed to be a leader in the athletic department. To throw a former employee (who was in your department) under the bus is weak. To do it during a football game (that you’re supposed to be working, as the listed football contact), makes it weaker. And to tell an alum of this university to go follow another school on top of that is the weakest.

Embarrassing for yourself. Embarrassing for the athletic department. Do. Better
 
Wow I just saw the name on the account. It's no wonder there has been so much turnover in the athletics department with that kind of attitude towards employees. If I'm right I think there have been four or five people leave his department in the last couple of years alone. With this type of comment on a public forum, I am not surprised.
 
At one point late in the game the announcers were saying that BS had averaged $2 million in paid games over the last seven years.

Yep it's 2009 all over again. Pathetic.

I think this team legitimately has a chance to be the worst in ISU history and that is really saying something. While abysmal, the Lou West teams could at least score, even if the defenses gave up more points than the basketball team. The 2008 team managed three close games, the 2009 team actually won a game. It's early but I think this team really has the opportunity to do something special and be the worst of all time. The only thing standing in their way is the fact there are a lot of shitty teams in the MVC.

And I imagine all of the die-hard MUST HAVE football are basking in the misery

Is this like the die-hard MUST HAVE basketball crowd of ISU who also bask in the LOSING misery of ISU basketball?

Like the foolishness of building the HC for what, a handful of SOLD-OUT games in its FIFTY-YEAR history. The aberration of Bird, and our three other NCAA appearances since 1979 are not the results of a SOLID BASKETBALL PROGRAM, they're freaks of luck.

Combined FBS/FCS or if you prefer A/AA Football rankings for a selection of the 261 total teams. Someone made the comment ISU could not beat a BAD D2 Team. Now we have someone, possibly the same person, trashing the entire MVC as full of weak teams. SIX of the MVC teams rank in the top half of ALL A/AA teams combined.

Over the years, you have to get into around the 35-50th position among all FBS + FCS rankings to be ranked #1 in FCS. And since none of the power conference teams would ever dream of playing a top FCS team at a neutral site or on the road, I expect the actual ranking to be higher than that

The first 51 are FBS/A teams with Duke ranked #51.

FCS Teams FBS Teams of possible interest
#52 South Dakota State NC State = 53; Illinois = 54 and Wake Forest = 55
.........................................................................WV = 61; Colorado = 62
#66: North Dakota State......................
#69 Montana State...................................Northwestern = 71; Missouri= 73; Indiana = 79
#92: SIU.......................................................NIU = 91 despite losing at home to SIU; Virginia = #94; BC = #97
#100 Weber State; #105 Idaho..........EMU = #106; Vandy = #107;
#109: Sacramento State.......................CMU = 110; Miami Ohio = 111; Buffalo = 112; Ball State = 113 (Where the MAC is living apparently)
#114: North Dakota; #117 UNI.......
#119 UC Davis; #120 = Furman; #121 = YSU..... #122 Colo. State; #123 = La. Tech;
#125 Montana.; #127 Incarnate Word...................#126 South Florida (played Bama yesterday very tough for a while)
There are another 20 FBS programs ranked below this spot.
#143 Illinois State @ 54.81
#162 South Dakota @ 51.49 rating
#165 Missouri State @ 51.33 rating
#194 Indiana State with 43.43 rating
#209 Murray State
#220 Western Illinois

I can’t believe we are ONLY 194th. Hard to believe there are almost 70 teams worse than State.

Don't worry....a loss to Murray in two weeks and ISU will drop into the 200s. However, Murray is just as bad if not worse than ISU so a win is possible especially if Cade comes back or Mallory lets this Freshman open up the playbook a little bit.

Agreed. Even with how bad we've been, I'm still expecting a W against Murray State.

Believe their only win has been over who probably should have gotten the job here.
