    Yep. UNI's melt down was the story of the season for the MVFC. SIU's loss was the most disappointing in the playoffs. Second year in a row for a home meltdown for SIU.

    If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

      I am watching the SIU v WM replay on the Ocho. I think the biggest embarrassment of the weekend was color commentator "Rene". Uuugh.

        Have to say after watching the SIU v WM game, SIU did "ok". Their FROSH QB was not a throwing threat. They actually looked pretty good in the 1st Q. WM just ground it out, with their def able to cheat on the run (though still very good).

        What was embarrassing was the ESPN tradition of jacking our name - referencing WM's previous loss to their only other MVFC opponent - Northern Illinois. Uuugh.

          SIU lost first round last year.

            A little memory lane for everyone....When UNI beat W&M in 1996, UNI had Dedric Ward and W&M had Darren Sharper. Ward had 3 first half TDs....

              Seeded team at home getting blown out. You must have missed the mocking about how overrated Deji Karim was and W&M's runner was so much better and how he had no busness being on the final Payton list etc, etc. They were ever taking shots at Sanders for his "over-rated" Payton year. Pretty sad that we can't decide which is the most embarrassing game for the conference because we had so many.

                BTW what's the world coming to when we have to root for Montana or App St?

                    I am rooting for the Griz. I hate them less than the CAA and Appy.

                    Also, our two losses to Montana come from us being woefully underprepared for that atmosphere which is a huge credit to their fans.

                    Our losses to the CAA and Appy come from things like squib kicks, prevent defense, fumbles bouncing directly into the arms of a linebacker, blizzards, and strips by defensive ends on plays where the arm was probably going forward...

                    GO GRIZ!

                        Cheering for any of the teams left in the semi-finals is sort of like saying I prefer chlamydia to herpes. No good choice among the lot.

                          This pretty well sums it up. Don't know if I want to give Montana fans too much credit for being drunkin hoodlims especially if the rumors of racist remarks to opposing teams are true. But then, I probably shouldn't be spreading rumors from hearsay.

                              What's the quote? Something like, "Don't believe anything you read and only half the things you see."

                                the CAA Semifinal (W&M @ 'Nova) is currently on the Deuce.

                                I'm sure most will say "who cares", but I thought I'd remind people in case they wanted to boost FCS tv ratings.
