FCS Playoffs

Ya, I guess I get it. Between tickets, parking, etc. it’s probably a few hundred bucks to take a family of 4. Tough for a lot of people to do that 3 weeks in a row so they probably make a decision to wait and hope the players do their job in the early round. The thing people miss, especially with all the moving up to FBS talk, is that NDSU has a relatively small market to be putting 20k people in the stands every week. I lived there for 5 years and never went to a game! The tailgating lot and Labby’s/The Turf/Chubs had way more action than any football game!

You and me both. In my 6 year stint I attended less than 2 quarters of football. They play during hunting season so that was the primary deal breaker!

...They clearly have some work to do in their pass D...

I believe this will be the demise of the Bison this year. It's too bad- I know one of the linemen pretty well (from my hometown) and he's a good dude- I'd love to see him go out with a national championship. I may be overly pessimistic, but we'll see. I think a handful of teams could legitimately win it all this year.

Montana State looks very strong this year. I watched the highlights from the Idaho - MSU game earlier this year and their quarterback is a force. Hard to see anyone beating them, but it could happen. Idaho will play MSU at Bozeman this Friday, game will be on ESPN/ESPN+.

Well, I watched the UI - MSU game last night and as good as Idaho is, they frankly were outmatched. That quarterback for MSU (Tommy Mellot ) is an amazing athlete - accurate passer and remarkable runner. Fortunately for the rest of the Big Sky, he's a senior. I'm guessing that he's going to get some NFL interest, especially after more people see him in the playoffs. I've a feeling that MSU could take the FCS title this year.

Whenever I watch a game where I don't have a favorite team, I am just hoping for a good close game. Last night game wasn't that. blow outs tune me out when the outcome is inevitable.

Jackrabbits are looking stout today against UIW

Tough 12hrs for Idaho. Stomped by MSU then Eck splits for New Mexico! Go Vandals!

 

[MulemanMT]

Go Cats. They can do it this year.

We made it out there, our first game in Bozeman. What an atmosphere, really enjoyed it. Contemplated NDSU-SDSU game this weekend. I think we will stay home. Should be 2 really good games Saturday.

Come back up. If you liked that atmosphere wait till you see the semifinal game. It's supposed to be a nice afternoon. It should be sweet!

Not sure if anyone noticed, but going through the entire bracket, almost uncanny how well they seeded everyone. How many times has there been a 1 v 4 and a 2 v 3 in the semis? and before that they did surprisingly well too.
