The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory. -
Even more proof that the Gateway is one of, if not the, strongest confrences in D1 AA -
Me thinks the experience playing in the tough Gateway helped our teams come back and pull off some amazing wins. All three of those teams trailed in the last 5 minutes of the game and all three came back to win it. Coincidence? I think not.Sincerely,

This is a shame. It very well could have been three teams in the final four had they separated them. Not to mention they are probably the two strongest out of our conference.Originally posted by Panthers to the Bone View PostIf 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

Thought the same thing. A Gateway team needs to just win the entire thing.Comment

the two strongest out of our conference that were selected....Originally posted by UNIAlum95 View Post
Although it is a tough argument. All 4 teams (YSU, ILS, SIU, and UNI) are pretty dang awesome when they're "on". But they've all played some not-so-pretty games.
As far as conference matchups in the playoffs, two Atlantic 10 teams will be playing each other this weekend as well, with UNH at Mass. (and I didn't even know they were Catholic.... heh, sorry. bad joke)Comment

The UNH and UMASS game will be a great game. Don't you feel watching these games like the kid not invited to the party?Comment

Yeah, which is why I didnt watch. I mean I didnt proactively try to avoid them but I didnt seek them out either. I would get a sick feeling in my stomach. I'll likely watch the semis and finals though as I suspect the "less" deserving teams will be out by then.Originally posted by alleycat View PostComment

I enjoyed watching YSU win on HD Saturday night. Its great exposure for I-AA and they played an AMAZING game.Comment

Having YSU vs ISU in the Quarters does guarantee a Gateway team in the semi-finals though. If SIU can get past Montana on the other side of the bracket, there could be a Gateway school in each semi-final game. That would be a lot of fun!"10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

SIU will have a heck of a time getting a win.
Montana is tough. Montana IN Missoula is tougher.
They can beat 'em, but they'll have to play like they did against us.Comment

just watched the YSU/JMU game (since I was driving home from Normal on sat. night).
on JMU's last incompletion, the receiver jumped up to catch the ball...
and it looks like he caught a helmet right to the groin from a defender running full speed.
OUCH! no wonder he dropped the ball.Comment
