Up 24-0 early in FCS QF vs Wm & Mary in Bozeman. Pretty unfair. An entire team against a dude and a chick. William & Mary, of course, named after the villainous traitors William of Orange and his wife, Mary II, who usurped the rightful king, King James, basically setting the stage for 130 years of almost perpetual conflict between England and the Netherlands and their neighbors. William & Mary is the second oldest university in what is now the United States of America. It is the ninth-oldest university in the English-speaking world. |

Bobcats win 55-7. That's one hell of a good team that the Beavs took to the woodshed in September.

Curious if AP or Coaches poll voters consider a win over a top ranked FCS team in ranking voting?

William & Mary is the second oldest university in what is now the United States of America. It is the ninth-oldest university in the English-speaking world. Like literally everything with the history of the monarchy, it is a tad bit more complicated than that. William the III, prince of Orange was a significantly more capable military leader, in an era where that was the most desired trait of the monarch. The nobles preferred William, because the nobles preferred war, the the land and the spoils of it. there was going to be 130 years of war with or without William. Europe was going to be up for grabs, if not the throne, then France was going to do it. Nobles wanted a strong leader to keep France in it's place. James suspended the acts of parliament to grant freedom of religion to non-angelicans (namely those filthy Catholics). something the dominant protestants' of the time were outraged over. Nobles turned to William, the rest is history. James, a bit to progressive for the times it seems. Villanious? Eh, I dunno. I think the monarch history is interesting, but lets be real, the majority of the lot of them all sucked. All of them were power hungry tyrants. At any rate, the people preferred Mary II. when she died in 1694, so too died William's popularity. It was Mary II that endowed the college in 1693, just prior to her untimely death from smallpox. William didn't have anything to do with it, really. |

William didn't have anything to do with it, really. I mean maybe? James was more pro-religious tolerance, which tends not to lead to war. William & Mary and their heirs basically squeezed the Netherlands dry of money, resources, and ships to benefit England throughout the World to the Netherlands' detriment. The Netherlands' economy was much larger than the United Kingdom's in 1689. In less than a hundred years, the two nations had basically traded spots. And after more than 85 years, when the Netherlands finally rebelled from their (basically) English overlords, during the Revolutionary War (American allies), they were beaten to a bloody pulp. (Spain made out like bandits. France gained some land at the expense of destroying their economy. And the Netherlands was devastated by the United Kingdom.) And a weak Netherlands fell into Revolution in 1787, the British and Prussian suppression of which helped the 1789 French Revolution begin to spill out of the borders of France, basically adding fuel to the fire that was the Revolution that embroiled most of the continent in almost continuous warfare for more than 25 years. As to William and Mary founding the University, Mary may have taken the lead on it, but can you imagine what would have happened, if William was not also part of the name of the University? |
