UNI co-number 1 - Have Weekly Stars

[SMEnetwork]

This week on the “Football Championship Show” we will continue our debate on who should be number one. Make sure you call in to let your voice be heard. This weeks guests include: Robby Robinson, Play-by-play voice of the Citadel and Ralph Wallace of College Sporting News. The show starts at 5:00pm Eastern Time with archive broadcasts being posted about 90 minutes after the conclusion of the show.

We are also finalizing our expansion project and should have details about what we are planning to add for next year within the next few weeks.

Don’t forget that our Top 25 poll is available and is published every Monday afternoon. You can also view our Weekly Stars to see if your team or one of their players were at the top of his class. Please vote for this weeks “Game of the Week” and “Play of the Week”. This will also be the last opportunity to hear archives of last weeks show!

Would our own GR be willing to divulge his picks for this poll?

[Khan4Cats]

This poll is as interesting as the TSN poll. Montana has more 1st place votes, yet we tie in total points. In TSN Montana had more than double the 1st place votes, yet was only 9 points ahead overall. Seems a lot of people have us as either #1 or #2, while Montana either gets first place votes or must drop considerably for other voters.

Notice this poll also has 9 points separating 1-4. Yikes, tight race in FCS (and Appalachian State isn't in the top 4!) Have to finish strong to get play-off games in the Dome.

[OH BABY! I luv this team!]

Would our own GR be willing to divulge his picks for this poll?

Gotta feel bad for NDSU they probably have one of the best teams in the Nation but wont be able to show it at all in the playoffs, be interesting the Montana vs EWU this weekend but once again its at Montana

[JayJ79]

It is part of the NCAA procedures for change of division, which they knew of going into their transition.

Would it have been interesting having them in the playoffs this year: yes
Do I feel bad for them: no

Agreed. They'll be a force in FCS for so long, I dont think they're too worried about it.

Looking forward to our first trip up to the Fargodome with 18K packing the stadium up there. Its going to become quite the rivalry (again).

Oh Baby do I love Gary and his awesome calls of the Panther games!!!!

[JayJ79]

Sadly, I haven't been able to hear Gary call any games this year.
But that is because I've gone to 4 of the 5 (and was unable to listen to the SDSU game due to other commitments).

But I do look forward to listening to the Missouri State game
(and I do get to hear some of the play-by-play on the Panther Plus replay)

You definitely do an awesome job, Mr. Rima. (and "On Press Row" is a pretty darn good hour of radio as well)
