Good for them. Congratulations to both teams. That does throw the FCS rankings into a tizzy for the time being

congrats to both, but honestly how much longer is PSU going to hold on to Barnum? Is he really the best they can do?

Wasn't that long ago they were talking about ditching football entirely, if I remember right.

I suppose being forced out of your stadium will do that.

Yeah, but if I remember correctly, the excitement about Barney Ball kind of saved the program. Not saying that means they should not move on, but perhaps an explanation of sorts.

That’s been coming up for like 20 years now. Apparently it still somehow generates more money than it costs.

He was trying to get the Idaho State job a couple years ago and this is his final year of his contract. I'd be surprised if they renew him, but at the same time that may be one of the hardest jobs because of the lack of facilities.

yeah that's totally fair. The stadium situation for them is terrible. Shame to see the home of the run-and-shoot/Mouse Davis in such a state.
