ODU is leading Norfolk State 21-7 at the half. Albany is ahead 21-10 over Stony Brook near the end of the first half. Central Arkansas and Tennessee Tech scoreless early in the first.

EKU leads JMU 10-7 at the half. ODU/Norfolk State about to kick off I believe.

Yeah, I don't get that (only have basic cable) and I can't get ESPN 3 to watch online.

Now 7-7. Wish I had this one on TV.

Football talk now. JMU up 7-0 over EKU.

Well, there goes my attempt at a football thread that doesn't turn into a Bison/Sioux pissing contest..... Focus people.....

I also would like to thank the seniors for the contributions. Some very good players in this class, who will be missed.

I was going to say something about that. You renovate your stadium to that size, and somehow you can't put a bid in that would beat a team that averages less than UND (I believe). I know a lot of JMU fans are pretty upset about that one. If the Semi-finals are Montana - Montana State and NDSU - Georgia Southern, that would be some good football. Even though MSU was throttled by Montana last weekend, I wouldn't be surprised to see the game go the opposite direction if that happened.

Probably true, but so far they have behaved (and so have the Sioux fans). I'd like to keep it that way

I do agree that these were probably factors, but I think that they deserved to be in over Eastern Kentucky, who lost to 3 win Austin Peay. Probably a toss up whether they should have been in over JMU as well.

I figured I would start a thread about the 2011 FCS Playoffs, so anyone who would like can have a healthy discussion on the field this year. I'd like to keep this clean of smack, so when our Bison friends chime in please don't smack them just because they're Bison fans. So, here is a printable version of the bracket. http://fcsnow.com/Do...1%20bracket.pdf The four opening round games, and my picks, are as follows: Albany at Stony Brook Central Arkansas at Tennessee Tech Norfolk State at Old Dominion James Madison at Eastern Kentucky The second round on December third will look like this: Stony Brook/Albany at #1 Sam Houston State New Hampshire at Montana State Wofford at #5 Northern Iowa Tennessee Tech/Central Arkansas at #4 Montana Old Dominion/Norfolk State at #3 Georgia Southern Maine at Appalachian State Lehigh at Towson James Madison/Eastern Kentucky at #2 North Dakota State Personally, I think the championship game is Georgia Southern against Montana, with GSU coming out on top. The Griz are peaking at the right time, and I watched the GSU/Bama game this weekend and I was very impressed by the Eagles. However, SHSU, NDSU and Towson are my other favorites, although I think there are 12 or so (ie - the teams not playing in the first round games this weekend) of the 20 teams that have a very legitimate shot at winning and I wouldn't be surprised. I'm very excited for the playoffs!

Not sure when it was last updated. Scroll down and you can pick by conference. http://www.collegesp...rence-Schedules EDIT: Just by looking through it a little, it doesn't look like it's been updated for a while. I posted a note on AGS to see if the creator has updated recently......

Well, lakesbison is registered and has been over there this week to tell them how easily they will dismantle UND......

I believe there is also a home and home with Western Illinois this year.

That doesn't sound good.....

Too bad her twin brother couldn't have come here for football. 6'6", 290 and heading to Oregon State.

Another offer on rivals. DE Ross Dzuris Plattsmouth, NebraskaPlattsmouth 6'3" 230 4.6 http://rivals.yahoo....s-Dzuris-119105 Also, Drake Michaelson is now showing up on rivals - here is his profile. http://rivals.yahoo....chaelson-124057

UND has offered Drake Michaelson, LB from Eden Prairie. Other offers are from Wyoming and SDSU, as well as a host of DII schools. http://www.gopherhole.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1528

So what's going on in this game now? Any updates?

I believe they would share the title, but if it were an auto qualifier league then there would be tiebreakers in place.

Poly knocks down the desparation pass and takes the W and is in the drivers seat for the last GWFC championship.

Down to the last down of the game with 4 seconds left from the 45

Poly returns the punt to the 29 and ends up with the FG. Yotes have the ball with 10 seconds left at the Poly 45. Exciting ending. I think Dante got hurt, so USD has their backup in.

After being down 17-0 at the half, Poly has tied it at 24 with 2 minutes remaining.

Burned again - wtf is up with the defense?
