Rocky Lencioni East Offensive MVP at Shrine Game

So the gris are getting more players than we are?

No, I don’t think 247 knows for sure.

I'm honestly a little surprised by Colorado.

Is there another FCS team in Colorado?

Not that I know of, but it does say "non-FBS", so I'm sure there are some years that UNCU doesn't out-recruit some of the D-II schools in the state.

Ah, I get it now. Yes, that is probably true. Colorado has a rich DII history.

Colorado School of Mines is a top D2 team.

UNC won a couple national championships in football when they were D2. Pueblo, Adams, Mesa...there's a bunch of them.

The RMAC where all those DII Colorado schools play is one of the most competitive in the country. It’s amazing once perennial basement dweller Colorado School of Mines is now a top contender given the ridged academic standards of that mining engineering school. Their alumni invested in the infrastructure of the program building a new stadium with attached weight room, locker room and training room years before the BAC was built. They don’t allow kegs in the stands anymore and their band is no longer allowed yell obscene chants in unison tho so it’s not all good. Colorado’s Ralphie has nothing on “Blaster,” their live burro mascot. Oh, and the students aren’t allowed to purchase dynamite anymore.

The Mines-DU rivalry is a rabbit hole all football fans should dive into during the offseason.

Indeed, some of that dynamite was detonated on the DU Campus. Windows had to be replaced and building shored-up due to the damage. This was post WWI mind you. Knowing DU students would seek revenge, mines students lied in wait. When they arrived on the campus of mines, they were swiftly captured at gun point, taken prisoner and had their heads shaved. Several serious felonies by today’s standards but no one was ever charged.

At least UNC did better than Maine that couldn't even win a no contest battle in their state apparently.

Does Vermont not have a team anymore?

They haven't had a team since the 70s, so no
