Alex is not afraid to turn it upfield on a busted play and Paris ads an extra passer if needed. IIRC we tried to recruit him out of high school (his highlight video was something like 45 minutes long) when he was a top QB in Utah, but he went to BYU instead, who redshirted him and began to work on converting him to a WR before he had to go on mission (as all young Mormons are required to to). When he came back he decided he really wanted to go back to being a QB a QB so he went to a junior college to play.  We followed him through his career and when he graduated Barnum offered him a scholarship.

But he had to earn the position because we still had 3 other QB, McDonaugh (good runner), Penn (our U-QB) and Kraght (Kraft now a WR).  Now Barnum is looking to find a way get all four of these guys on the field for a quadruple threat.

Wow, what a concept.  We've had as many as 9 scholly quarterbacks at some point during the last year, and haven't figured out how to make any one of them a threat.

We had a BA quarterback competition of our own. Emphasis on the B.

Some great responses here...

I fear Portland State's team actually breathing...that pretty much means they will beat us.

I fear hearing that they are a "good team" and that we need to practice better.

In closing, I just fear the UNT BOR more than any other collection of people when it comes to football.

As if the Portland State coach needs any more motivation........he has a chance to beat 2 FBS teams in the same year.

This, AND he is the interim HC so he is coaching for his job.

If they win, he might be a name to remember.   An FCS coach who takes down 2 FBS teams in one year will have a job.

What scares me the most about Portland State isn't Portland State.  It's us.

We've lost 4 games by 113 points.  67 - 180

Our closest loss was to Rice.  We scored 2 late TDs to make it a 14 point loss.

We've lost all 4 games by an average of 28 points per game.

Sorry, but we're just not a very good football team right now.

      A few HSO's

      1: One big problem with the NIL (aka pay for play) is that the universities are what draw the fans, not the players. People argue that "they deserve a piece of the pie", etc., but the big money comes from rabid fans and alumni of the schools, not from fans wanting to watch certain players. I wish they would form a minor league football and see how much interest there is...wait, we already have that. It's called the XFL, USFL, UFL and the players don't make much money ($5,500/wk) and there aren't many fans at the games. Put the Rengades in Alabama uniforms and the Stallions in Auburn uniforms and you'd sell out AT&T stadium. Why, because the players don't matter, the universities are what matter (as it pertains to attendance). Another example is the NBA D-League. What kind of money are those guys making? (I'll save you the Google search, they make $25K/yr). I have to assume that's peanuts compared to many of the NIL deals players are getting. If you want to get paid, go pro. Nobody is making you go to college to get a free education that will benefit you for the rest of your life. 2: I hate the argument that "coaches make big money and can leave for another job whenever they want to." See the last two sentences of the previous point. If you want to be able to do that, go pro. Make it your career just like the coaches have done. There are a very limited number of head coaching jobs at the college level and these coaches have put in LONG hours and worked their way up to the positions that they are in. Nobody was giving them millions of dollars when they were a GA busting their tail for nothing.

      Those schools you mentioned have already reached out to The Big 12. Also Louisville and Pitt have 100+ year historic rivalries with Cincy and WVU respectively. Keg of Nails and Backyard Brawl will both be owned by the Big 12 soon enough.
