is Longhorn on a Sagarin Diet ? no comments?
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
Top 3, 4 of top 6, 5 of 10, 6 of 12, and 7 of top 14.
Probably be lucky if 4 make the post season.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
Sam Houston State plays in the Western Athletic Conference which is ranked 9th in this accounting (MVFC is 1st). Interestingly the conference has an overall losing record so far this year at 13-14 (481%). With just 13 wins, SHSU accounts for almost half of the conference win with the other 5 conference teams averaging about 1 each. How is that for SOS?
You wanta play football, any school will do; ... You wanta learn football, NDSU is for you!
With all this said, I do understand Sam H's argument on Sam. They are pounding folks, have real players, and are not your same old Sam Houston. At least it is rationale this time as opposed to when over ranked in the past. With that said, I think NDSU is back as long as we get quality QB play and would beat them on a neutral field by 7. I think Sagarin has that spot on.
