FCS 2021 Football Playoffs

[Parliament 14138]

NDSU is a flawed team, but we've been getting...acceptable...play from our QB lately, and are good enough for a #2 seed.  On the other side we have our arch nemesis; a foe we now well.  We have history with Sam Houston, and hopefully we have a DATE with Sam Houston.

I'm pulling for the UIW Cardinals. I don't really follow FCS football is UIW expected to beat SFA?

 

 

[Nicole44 22027]

Go Jackrabbits!!!!

[The Ace of Aces 5106]

Axe ‘em! 

UIW had a very good offense. So does SFA. I think SFA’s D is better and they’re playing the best they have in like a decade.

UIW survives SFA. That sets up a battle of 2 of the best FCS quarterbacks next week in Huntsville, TX

Man, helluva game.

Sfa shit the bed in ot and the final 15 seconds

[perfectchaos007 6596]

The UIW v SHSU game was as advertised. A fun one for those who love explosive offenses. Cameron Ward's stretch for the endzone to tie the game with 5 seconds left came up about a foot short, and SHSU moves on to the quarter finals.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8799]

I wasn’t a real big fan of their last 4 plays… only one shot to the end zone. 2nd was a run for 2 and 3rd was a check down for maybe 3.


That said Sam houston should’ve just sat on it instead of scoring a TD with 2 min left. Why risk it??

[MNLonghornFUKM 8799]

Big game tonight on espn2 if you need your football fixings…

JMU @NDSU @ 8:15 CDT


The class of fcs meet one last time. JMU moves up to the sunbelt starting next year

Are there any female NDSU fans in that crowd under 200 pounds?

Those are just layers. It’s like 5 degrees outside

[shadow_operative2.0 15834]

Sick fucking pick in the end zone by NDSU to likely ice it.

Who is the dumbass color guy on this broadcast?

Before that last posession, he was talking about "the 6th man" meaning NDSU's fans.  🙄

After the last play, they show the coaches shaking hands and he says something about "a tale of two tapes".

Wtf?  This dude is worse than a hometown high school radio guy.

Did anyone else notice the home cooking from the clock operator at the end?  I would have been fucking livid if I was the JMU staff!!

Coming out of a timeout (stopped clock), NDSU had the ball 2nd and 8 with 2:58 left.  

 

Runner gains 2 yards and is tacked with 2:54 left (should be around 2:10 left when the play clock runs down for the upcoming 3rd down play

 

But the play clock doesn't even begin for more than 25 seconds!!

 

So the ball is snapped for the 3rd down play with about 1:50 left.

 

So instead of calling a timeout on 4th down with ~1:30 left, NDSU calls it with 1:03.

 

Would the outcome have been any different?  Who knows...but the play selection for JMU on the last few plays may have been different giving them a shot at the endzone.

Wasn’t home cooking, They were retarded officials from a lower end fcs conference that were way over their heads.

Ndsu got jobbed by the clock operator when they went for 2

[ATLLonghorn 841]

Man, Montana (the state in general) is a place I really want to go watch a game. Every picture I see at UM and MSU is insane.

Yes it’s scenic in all directions but can be chilly!  Great venue for sure.

I live on the eastern side of Montana where half the people hate the Bobcats and all of them hate the Bizon. I fall into the category of hating the Griz and, by virtue of getting ND affiliates, have grown into a casual Bison fan...so this particular championship matchup is like a huge snort of coke for me!

[Parliament 14138]

Bison up 28-0.  Print the t shirts.

And be careful down there, Guys.  I have it on good authority Frisco bars are already out of Busch and Coors Light.

[Dr Fear 1265]

[Bigbend1812 12889]

Killing them.  35-0

[ATLLonghorn 841]

Montana State's QB getting hurt took all the juice out of this game. Montana State's defense had been awesome this year, but just got fuckin' dump trucked today.

The playoff committee was backed into a no-win corner this year. Sam Houston was at best the fifth best team in the country, but had won 21 straight games, James Madison's conference wasn't as good as it normally is and NDSU's loss to South Dakota State was pretty definitive so Sam Houston kinda had to be the one seed. The committee maybe should've made JMU the four seed just to put them on the other side of the bracket from North Dakota State, but other than that I'm not sure what else you could do to get a competitive title game. South Dakota State was probably one of the three best teams, but fucked themselves in the regular season and had to play back-to-back-to-back road games and it's just possible they ran out of gas in the semis.

North Dakota State is FCS Thanos, they are inevitable, but I just wish it had been a better game.

I was at game.  It was a fun and festive crowd but wow it wasn’t much of a game.  It was devastating that Montana State lost their stud QB to injury on their first possession.  I really thought Montana State’s defense would be better but NDSU ran the ball down their throats ..

As a Montana Grizzlies fan, I was torn on this game. On the one hand, good for the kids from Montana. But on the other hand, Fuck the Cats. I'm satisfied with how it worked out.

U of Montana's stadium is even better - more seating/ bigger crowd, and built right into the mountains, rather than the mountains being on the horizon. Atmosphere for a big game is better than the majority of FBS games.
