The Idaho Vandals are the college football team that represents the University of Idaho and plays its home games at the Kibbie Dome, an indoor facility on campus in Moscow.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kibbie Dome )〕 Idaho is a football-only member of the Sun Belt Conference in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of NCAA Division I. The current head coach is Paul Petrino, in his third season in 2015. The Idaho football program began competing in 1893,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Idaho Historical Data )〕 and through the 2015 season, the Vandals have an all-time record of 450–599–27 ().〔 They have played in two bowl games in their history, close victories in the Humanitarian Bowl in Boise in 1998 and 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Idaho Bowl History )〕 ==Conference affiliations== Idaho rejoined the Sun Belt Conference in 2014 after a season as an independent in 2013, and eight seasons in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC), which dropped football after the 2012 season. The Vandals were previously in the Sun Belt (also football only) from 2001 through 2004, after the Big West Conference dropped football. The Idaho football program began competing in 1893,〔 and was a member of the Pacific Coast Conference from 1922 to 1958. It was then an independent until 1965, when it began league play in the Big Sky Conference. At the time the other four football-playing schools in the conference were College Division (today's Division II) and Idaho maintained its University Division status through 1977 (except for the involuntary demotion for 1967 and 1968) by playing a majority of its games against University Division (later Division I-A) opponents. A charter member in 1963, Idaho did not participate in league play for football until 1965, the Big Sky's third year, after the conference demanded it. With its upper division status, the Vandals were ineligible for the College Division (D-II) playoffs, noticeable in 1971 when they were league champs and runner-up Boise State advanced. Because of its hybrid status, Idaho requested to retain its higher allotment of football scholarships (75) than the other conference members (62),〔 which was expectedly disallowed. The university received an invitation in 1973 to join the PCAA (later Big West), but the state board of education (concurrent board of regents) rejected it by a vote of 4 to 3.〔 The Big Sky moved up to the new Division I-AA in 1978 (while Idaho moved down). Idaho experienced its best years in football from 1985 to 1995, when it made the I-AA national playoffs in ten of eleven seasons with four different head coaches, reaching the semifinals twice. After 18 years in Division I-AA, Idaho returned to Division I-A competition (now called the FBS) in 1996 in the Big West. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Idaho Vandals football」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
