As we watch ESPN tote the BCS line, not only on every show they produce but on our games and halftime shows. A official from the Southland Conference told Coach Moore some great things about what we have here in the FCS.
-"Coach Jerry Moore of the Mountaineers said that he took notice of the excitement surrounding the semifinal game, which drew a record crowd of 24,410 for a nonchampionship FCS playoff game at an on-campus site.
“I just turned and looked and everybody was still there,” Moore said, recalling the game’s final minute. “It was an awesome thing.”
Others noticed the excitement, too.
“One of the officials on the sideline, they’re from the Southland Conference and they had worked some Big 12 games, said, ‘Coach, I’ve worked the Texas-Ohio State game and I’ve got to tell you something. This is the best college-football game I’ve ever been involved in.’ He said, ‘The atmosphere here is awesome. This is real college football.’"
That could not have been said any better. Watching the BCS "playoff" series makes me laugh at those die hard BCS fans who really think they riegn supreme as the real college football experience. Little do they ignorant self's know that the real CHAMP is crowned in the FCS every year. I am so thankful for OUR playoffs. Think about this if we had a BCS system that would screw us evey year:
The title game this year would be:
UNI vs. Montana (these guys didn't even get to the semis)
Bowl games would be.... SIU and MSU would play the second tier game, and Richmond and ASU would play the next...etc.
What a bunch of crap! UD and ASU are in the REAL championship game and we get to savor it on Friday night! Although the announcers will talk about transfers and BCS bowl games, tune that out and watch those young men laying it on the line for the title!
For those who are not watching it on TV I'll see you in Chatty!! I am leaving tonight for the title game. Mountaineer OUT!!! xthumbsupx xthumbsupx
