North Texas lost to Portland State 66-7. Worst ever defeat to an FCS/I-AA school since the I-A/I-AA split.

I assume that record belonged to Iowa State until today. So thanks McCarney. Still got that ISU spirit.

Actually, North Texas held the other end of the previous record. They beat New Mexico State 49-3 in 1983 when UNT was in I-AA.

At the time they dropped sports UChicago was probably the most high profile, prestigious university in the country. Maybe matched by Harvard. Now most of the county have never even heard of the place.

Colleges like Duke and Notre Dame, USC, Georgetown have used sports success to raise their profiles, get more applicants, become more selective. UChicago went the opposite way, and their applicant pool shrank.

High school kids don't know or care that uChicago has 88 Nobel Prizes and Notre Dame has only 2. They care that Notre Dame has 10 national championships and 7 Heisman winners. And now most of America thinks that Notre Dame is a better college academically.

Fair or not, that's the way it is

Chicago's applicant pool is probably smaller because it's most famous for being "where fun goes to die" and in a bad part of town.

Gonna disagree with you there. U of Chicago is still one of the most selective schools in the country and pumps out high numbers of really successful graduates every year. No high school kid who is serious about academics doesn't know about Chicago and know they are better than Notre Dame. The average middle age drunk might not, but I don't think anybody at Chicago cares.

My home state school is trash and unfortunately neither of my alma maters have athletics departments. I need to take some time to research a solid bandwagon, I don't want to end up being something like a texas fan where after a couple down years the home games are half empty and embarrassing.

More fun facts about Portland State/UNT:

- Portland State outgained UNT 670 to 198. Outgained UNT on the ground 368 to 76
- UNT punted 13 times and turned the ball over only once
- This game was 45-0 at halftime
- Portland State pulled its starters at the end of the 3rd when it was 59-0. A backup RB then scored on a 69 yard TD run.
- Portland State went 3-9 last year.

It became "where fun goes to die" in large part because it dropped sports and any other frivolity and focused entirely on pure intellectualism. Over the decades the college shrunk down from to less than 2500 students because it coundnt get enough good applicants.

A lot of this has changed in the past 10 years but there is no doubt that dropping sports hurt their national profile, just as sports success did the opposite for places like Duke and Notre Dame.

Northwestern (and Stanford) would be foolish to take that risk.

Nobody outside ISU ever seems to know about the part they had in the Manhattan Project. So props for that. While I was at ISU I worked for facilities management and occasionally had to go back into the old labs where they did a lot of that research and it is creepy as gently caress. It isn't radioactive anymore but the whole area is just covered with woods and secluded, with more or less abandoned buildings that are right out of a serial killer movie.
