FCS Quarterfinal thread

Re: FCS Quarterfinal thread

I think that shows us how much the NCAA would be swayed if UNI was ever on the bubble. The fact that we can pretty much guarantee at least 10K in the Dome from the quarterfinals on. Even our 8K+ 1st round minimums seem to look pretty good to the NCAA.

Fixed for accuracy.

Iowa is Montana without the mountains. Same type of down to earth people that would buy you a beer in a bar and talk your ear off. Same fans that complain that we don't get any respect. Same fans that talk up their stadiums.

Grew up in Montana, lived in Iowa for the past 6 years (traveled here for work the past 15).

SFA had 10 turn overs in the game to MT. MT was +9 for the game - I think many coaches would say it was probably a good season if you went +9 for the year.

Funny how before last year, everyone was cheering for someone, anyone, to beat App State.

SFA - yesterday's weather in Nacogdoches, TX high of 47F, average for December 5 62F. Game temp was 26F. Might have been a factor in 2-3.


BTW - as far as I can tell UNI was even for the season in TOs.

Weren't we on the bubble this year? Didn't mean squat. Maybe the committee isn't as swayed by attendance as some people think. In the end the best four teams are still playing. Gotta love FBS. To bad, once again, SIU embarrassed the Conference.

Re: FCS Quarterfinal thread

Which team embarrassed the conference more?
- SIU getting trounced in the quarterfinals
- SDSU piddling away their big second half lead and losing in the first round
- UNI losing to Illinois State

SDSU, without question. That game was over.

yes, losing to the #1 seed in the playoffs is so embarrassing.

When you're up 27 points with 20 minutes to play, then give up 40 unanswered points, that's a choke of biblical proportions.

True.
But not as embarrassing for the conference as the other two, IMO.

Re: FCS Quarterfinal thread

If I had to choose, I'd select us. IMO, the biggest embarrassment was the conference preseason favorite and at one time #2/#3 rankings to sitting out of the playoffs.

The SDSU loss didn't help. Personally, I didn't see SIU as a huge embarassment - it was the second round of the playoffs.
