Might not have been so bad scheduling MAC games this year.

Upsets all over the place recently.....NJIT and Eastern Michigan both beat Michigan, Bru losing to a DII school and now Incarnate Word just beat Nebraska AT Nebraska. Incarnate Word has been a DI school for 2 years. Wow.

OK. I thought NJIT defeating Michigan was an upset of monumental proportions. But, at least I'd heard of NJIT. What the heck is the University of the Incarnate Word and how, in heaven's name did they defeat Nebraska? On the other hand, perhaps it was due to heaven's intervention. Anyone have a better explanation?

They have a butt load of cash and have been pumping it directly into athletics in an attempt to get national recognition. Kind of like Liberty did.

Was fun to watch Columbia hang with Kentucky for about 30 minutes last night #yearoftheIvy

Incarnate Word is a Catholic university in San Antonio. They also have a football team, so maybe we can schedule them when we go indy.

I believe Incarnate Word is also a for-profit university similar to that Grand Canyon University. They both have gone DI in the past couple of years.

Here's my question: What the hell is the recruiting pitch to get kids to come to Incarnate Word???

[Kosty]

I think a lot of it has to do with Jesus......seriously......
