FCS Saturday
Wow, 8 games and they all look pretty great.
I had brief thoughts of going to the ML to watch the Nova kitties play YSU, but that was until I recalled the tailgating is pathetic and they have a HS stadium. I will stay in to watch all the games on my new (and sure to be short lived) ESPN+ subscription.
Really interested to see how the Albany-Richmond game goes and the MSU-NDSU game should be a good one (in Bozeman!).
Of course, we get to (almost) cap the day off watching the Hens in Missoula. The MT defense looks really good and their offense scores points, so……… Hoping against hope for the upset.
The last game to play out is ID/SIU, I’m picking the Salukis in that one. Although, I should pick the Vandals due to my 8 years in Idaho. But I was close to Idaho State down the road in Pocatello and very far from Moscow.
Go Hens!

Re: FCS Saturday
Good Stuff 77
The playoffs are definitely what made FCS football special to me. We finally get to see those conference rivalries that the fans build up all year come together on the field.
I think Youngstown State is taking a bus to Philadelphia for this game, if they left yesterday they might be there by now… traffic I understand is horrific in Pa. very interesting game with Villanova. The MVFC fans are very confident about beating Nova due to Novas weak CAA schedule
I’m thinking Idaho will beat S Illinois at home, but yes a good game in the hanger
Albany needs to beat Richmond at home, but Albany seems to find ways to lose big games. I think QB Poffenbarger will get it done
Furman hosting Chattanooga- Furman lost QB Tyler Huff, lost to Wofford and limos into playoffs…. This will be a war
Poor Mercer, they will get crushed at South Dak St

Wild Kitties defeat YSU Penguins 45-28
Albany over Richmond 41-17.
Furman looking like they will win.
SD looking good.
SDSU up 24-0 at half.
Montana State and NDSU just getting going.
Some home team needs to be defeated today. May as well be the Griz.

Re: FCS Saturday
Checked on FCS now that it's halftime with the ALA leading GA in the SEC champ game
MSU #1 qb TM is down and OUT. Once to the well too often with allowing him to run SO often. NDSU down by 7 with less than 7 min to go. This could be an upset in the making. NDSU moving inside MSU side of the field.
Gotta say( which I realized I'd appreciate) the FCS playoffs are always fun though OTOH, FBS is the only choice. I hope/expect our present staff is capable of making the transition a reasonable success. They have the luxury of time on their side. We need to schedule a few good teams next season. I believe we should consider dropping the 2 OOC games we agreed to before the CUSA decision-JMHO. We need games to stoke fan enthusiasm and appeal to recruits for this upcoming 2024 season
NDSU_MSU game is 28-28. We'll see if the home crowd can pull their guys in

Re: FCS Saturday
I’d love to not play Del State AT Del State next year what a lovely non money making idea that was …but I don’t think we can without the media being all in on that one I just do t think it would be a good look like oh we are too good now wouldn’t be surprised if we had to keep playing then yearly as an OOC game …..ehhhtenn hen wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2023 5:57 pm Checked on FCS now that it's halftime with the ALA leading GA in the SEC champ game

Re: FCS Saturday
Montana State loses to NDSU in overtime on a blocked extra point. That is the 4th time in 5 years (the other year was SDSU) that NDSU eliminated Montana state from the playoffs. Like Villanova is to us, NDSU is Montana State's daddy.

Re: FCS Saturday
I was calling for a home team to lose thinking I want the Griz to lose. Now MT State loses. Let’s force an 0-2 on the state! Go Hens!

Re: FCS Saturday
Southern Illinois missed a chip shot FG at end of regulation for the win and lost in OT to Idaho
And Montana St misses 2 FG (that I saw) and an XP in OT to lose to the Bison

Fire their coaches.
Tubby: 3 national titles, one won on the field, all D2
Keeler: 3 national titles, all won on the field, one as a player, two as a coach, 1 D2, 2 FCS
Carty: 2 on-field national titles, one as a player, one as an OC, both FCS
Carty - get an FBS bowl win!

Re: FCS Saturday
Furman at Montana tonight
Of the 8 teams still playing
2 are from the just horrific CAA
2 are from the Big Sky
3 are from the MVFC
1 from the Southern
No CAA team has a home game
Big advantage when the home games are at cold weather places
Montana
South Dakota State
Idaho (loud Dome)
Interesting that North Dakota State is on the road but playing in Dome at South Dakota, Bison fans gobbling up tickets
Albany at Idaho should be a great game
