I'm sure that FAU would help them out as far as scheduling. Look at what we're doing for Ed Waters this year.

It's rather interesting how so many schools are making the move to D-1 from a D-II classification.

they have a pretty decent team already.
I hope UNF is looking at D1-AA also. Florida can use another D1-AA school.

Well relatively speaking they were a DII team playing agains other DII teams. Does that lessen their accomplishments? Before you answer that one remember that we(D1-AA) only won 21-19. Remember the jump ball on the final play at the 2 yard line as time expired. :o
One more play and they could have kicked the FG and won.
As for the running offense. Their offense also had a pretty decent record setting 6'6 WR.

I think it would be tough for UNF to find a solid D-1A football niche with FSU and UF nearby. I'd like to see them in I-AA where they would probably do well (and take some of Georgia Southern's recruits) but it sounds like they are shooting for the top. Doesn't matter to me…just more football to watch!

Are you just yanking our chains on this one. :Pthe other 1aa teams they played were suspect, all 35+ in the rankings, if that.
Man we ONLY won by 2 points.
Did you go to the game? Big physical team. Even Coach Schnell compared them to the Arizona Cardinals.

I think I recall reading that the AD at Northern Colorado recently left, though, for Northern Arizona. If this has any impact on the team, I would expect it to not be this season, but (perhaps) later. Northern Colorado had size and strength. It does a pretty job of moping up on recruiting in the Denver area after Colorado and Colorado State pick through.
The Northern Colorado web site says five players from the 2004 team have signed deals with NFL teams. Most are free agent deals.
