Unless there are rules to preclude them from doing so, I don't know why not Mountain.

I wonder if the football team still has the sign they tore down in New Hampshire two years ago. I think it read something like "The Purple Panthers are a bunch of Purple Pansies because they have to play in a Dome"

This team will be READY!!!!

The top bracket doesn't look like a cakewalk, but at least they put us at #1.

No, it's not a cakewalk. It's the Division I National Championship playoffs. It's not going to be a cakewalk no matter where in the bracket you are.

I feel much better being in the top than if we were in the bottom...

3. Southern Illinois is on our side of the bracket! (Possible) semi-final matchup with the Salukis. I would not like that.

They gave them the #4 seed. At least they are respecting the Gateway. If both teams win their first two games, it will be one HECK of a rematch in the Dome.

And not to look too far ahead, but for those making tentative plans for the semifinals, here's a reminder of what it says in the 2007 NCAA Div. I Football Championship Handbook:

The Division I football championship committee has determined that the two remaining teams in the top half of the 16-team championship bracket will play Friday night, while the two remaining teams in the bottom half of the bracket will play Saturday.

Please note, however, that the determination of which teams play on which dates is subject to change if issues arise (e.g., host facility specifications) that necessitate a change in the best interest of the championship. All eight teams participating in quarterfinal competition will be made aware before their games of the won-loss scenarios that will dictate which teams play Friday night or Saturday afternoon.

Anyone a little disappointed we didn't get a TV game??? I was sure hoping so.

eh, ESPN has an east coast bias, undoubtedly.
Win the first round, and we'll have TV games.

Honestly, I'd bet that was a minor factor. Delaware is a very short trip for their production crew.

The UNI website says the game will be on ESPNU. Is that not correct?

Not real sure where you saw that but the selection show was on ESPNU. Can a local station pick up the UNI game or does ESPN own all of the rights?

Re: #1 UNI(11-0) vs. UNH (7-4)

I agree. Montana, McNeese St. AND Appy St. ALL on the other side of the bracket????

What more do we want????
