I'm not gonna litter the threads of teams still playing unless it's about their game. So for all the other Losers like me....here's where I can still say some ****.

Regionalization sucks. It was only CSUs 2nd time in playoffs so we didn't mind playing Citadel in 2015 and Wofford now because it was fun and close to home. But looking around....I see why so many don't like it. CSU and Wofford shouldn't have been facing each other in a 1st round game. Both deserved a weaker opponent. And the group now goes to the Citadel and probably Jacksonville State? Brutal. Where is a St Francis or San Diego for our schools down here?

Next...man...referees SUCKED. It wouldn't change the outcome because Wofford got screwed as much as we did. Just frustrating.

Anyway...I'm ready for 2017 kickoff. How many days?

Yeah its been an interesting day. It's gonna take me a year to get over this loss. Wofford is a great team and they beat us. But damn we sure blew some golden opportunities. Uggggh. We wanted Citadel next week bad.

I know you're just venting and I agree with you to some extent. Here's where I don't.

1) you'll get no sympathy about regionalization because everyone has to deal with it in their own parts of the country. Try saying that to South Dakota state fans.

2) you want to play cupcakes? Then win more games and don't play in such a crappy conference. I know the conference part is easier said than done. If you're seeded, you MAY get a better draw, but that's far from a guarantee.

3) you want cupcakes in your region? Maybe you are the cupcakes in your region?

Just bustin your balls. We all love college football. Good luck moving forward.

That Wofford team lost by 2 to Samford and lost by a MIRACLE freakish play vs Citadel. So that team....could've easily been undefeated SoCon champion. ONE PLAY to be the 1 loss #1 champion.

Wofford was ONE PLAY....the freakish intercepted option pitch for TD for the win.....from being the SoCon #1. Instead you call them a team that "barely got in". One play.

Is that the team we are being shamed for losing to? Because I'm not. We went toe to toe for 60 minutes with, in my opinion, THE best team in the SoCon.

I don't think I "crowed". I took up for my team but I was very reasonable. Did you mix me up w another CSU fan?

We beat Coastal. We beat a top 25 Kennesaw team who was ranked in the final week. Those are good wins.

AND Wofford is the best SoCon team this year. We took em to the wire. I won't be ashamed of that one bit.

Wofford may not be the SoCon champ. But they're the best team in it. I saw the Citadel vs Wofford game. It was a miracle. Wofford...well...I'm not talking on their behalf. I'll just root for them next week.

True. That explains our 4 game winning streak over the Citadel. Yall are in no position to talk. Luckily for your Dogs...you guys had that MIRACLE interception of the Wofford pitch to score a TD and win vs them. Otherwise Wofford would've been SoCon Champs and CITADEL would've faced CSU today and not Wofford. And we would have made it 5x in a row.

Instead....we lost to a program that's better than yours, a fan base that's classier than yours. And since we spanked you mutts 4x in a row....NOW you have to ride Woffords coat tails and talk **** to us vicariously through their great win. So sad.

Nah. If you just said we lost, fine. But that's not it. It's ok. We all know what would be happened if Citadel hadn't had the miracle in Spartanburg. Wofford would've won the SoCon and Citadel vs CSU would've been THIS week. We inevitably would've lost to Wofford anyway. Just sad the 5-peat has to be delayed a year.

Wofford may not be the SoCon champ. But they're the best team in it.

I know you're trying to 'gig' citdog (and other El Cid fans) with the repeated "Woffy is the best Team in the SoCon" comments.

It may or may not be true, but IF you're going to throw records aside, as you're doing with those comments, then, IMO, there were 5 other Teams in the SoCon that were not much more than an eyelash better or an eyelash worse than Wofford (The Citadel, Chattanooga, Samford, Mercer, and Furman). If you're going to look past the records, and come up with some subjective assessment, you might want to think about taking a look at those other 4 Teams as well.

Because, in the 15 games that those 6 SoCon Teams played against one another in 2016, the average margin of difference was only a single score.

But...none of that really matters, does it?...

The Citadel came through the SoCon GAUNTLET undefeated and deserve to be called the 2016 SoCon Champions.
Wofford had the next best record, giving them the nod over Chatt as they won the head-to-head, and the Terriers lost head-to-head to the Champions.

It's just a shame that, the Top 2 Teams in what may be the strongest FCS Conference (Based on today's results, it's sure not the Big Sky! CAA had a good day, but they played MEAC, NEC, and PL Teams. MVFC finished .500 today and their Champion had a regular season loss to a Big Sky Team that lost to a PFL Team in Round 1 today!) have to play each other in Round 2. A true shame!

If Wofford wins next Saturday, THEN you can may be able to call them the best SoCon Team, although I think our friends in Chattanooga would still have you 'wait a while' on that...

I can't refute any of what you said. It's just my opinion. I watched the Wofford vs Citadel game. And how that game ended up. It's just my opinion that the better team didn't win that day. Basically due to one freakish play. And when I saw we had Wofford in the 1st round....I knew we were in danger of an early exit. I'd rather have played Citadel. MUCH rather. Wofford is a better team day to day. Just absolutely blew it in a freakish play vs Citadel. Otherwise they'd be champs.

But your points cannot be proven wrong. The W / L column doesn't lie not matter how they got there.

AND YES....it's a shame that CSU/Wofford to Citadel and Jax State all got shoved into one group. Toughest run in the bracket if you ask me.

This thread, well intended, has again devolved into a CSU vs CIT hate thread. That is in the past for me.

I agree with you about regionalization. Committee blows. Why are we playing a SOCON team in the second round? Could've of easily made a couple of switches to alleviate that problem.

I understand as a #6 we are going to play to tough competition. If anyone in FCS had a chance at a #1 seed besides NDSU, perhaps others would get a shot at some "cupcakes". Alas, going undefeated in FCS and beating three playoffs teams just isn't enough to get a higher seed when the committee is playing by crap NCAA rules.

You guys are in the most competitive quarter of the bracket for sure and I think you deserved to be seeded ahead of SHSU and JSU. It's a tough year for seeding though with so many worthy teams and you're not the only one.

In our first game, we'll face a 2 loss conference runner up that has been ranked in the top 10. If we win, that will be followed by either a two loss conference co-champ or a 3 loss conference runner up that has been ranked in the top 5. Very few easy paths from here on out.

Agreed. It wouldn't have to be any more transparent than it is now. They can make the seeds whatever they like. To remove regionalization, the vast majority of FCS needs to pick up the pace on program support. 2500 at a playoff game doesn't balance the travel budget for the other team when the NCAA is footing the bill.

NDSU, UNI, JMU, JSU, SHSU, Liberty and Montana (and State in the rare event they make playoffs) are about the only schools so far proven to have any real gripe with this based on the gate revenue those teams bring in. SDSU might be working their way towards that camp with their new stadium.

As far as the other teams, well, you are the problem!

Aren't the rest of the post-season tournaments regionalized? The top seeds in basketball get put into different regions and it's probably the same way with other sports. Seems like NDSU is usually paired with Minnesota or a school in Oregon with non-revenue sports.

That's a very valid point. Wofford/CSU was a pretty small crowd. Both as small schools to start. But playing second fiddle in our state hurts also. We played the game 5 hours before the Clemson/USC game and most of the FCS fans in this state are also fans of those 2 programs and want to watch both. Having the smaller game on ESPN3 also hurts because fans can go to the Clemson game and watch the CSU/Wofford game on their phones.

I saw Youngstown kicked their game off later in the day just to avoid playing during Ohio State/Michigan.

Can I come to this room and complain a lost opportunity to play the Hawks? Man! You guys were a different team in the second half! I was hoping for the de-facto Big Sky Championship next week!

The team I saw in the first half really had me concerned about next week. Did the mentality of feeling like you guys had the game won creep into the players minds, you think? We had the same thing happen to EWU in 2004, big 4th QTR lead, and last minute loss. It sucks!

Sure! It's my thread so yeah you can come. Just don't sit on the nice couch. It's reserved for Citadel and Jax State. Tough losses. And one of them must make room for the YSU/Wofford loser next week. I have San Diego checking IDs at the door. They sent a guy early yesterday to secure that role. Chattanooga stopped up the toilet puking in it and it's clogged. So don't use it.

WR drops all over the place and that running into the kicker where Richmond then marched down the field instead of us starting the drive at their 45. That was an enormous swing. The game was completely over until that penalty changed everything and our guys choked as bad as I've ever seen. They made the plays late and we didn't. They earned it.

Yeah, they had some enormous, improbable plays that really helped them. That 50 yard catch their receiver outsteched for was a crazy catch! But it just seemed like UND relaxed after their fairly easy touchdown to start the second half. They just didn't play with the same fire after that. They proved they could move the ball against UR, but after that, they just couldn't seem to get anything going.

Not trying to rub salt in the wound. Like I said, was really hoping to meet you guys in the playoffs.

What I can say is that, your team is on the right track. They way you guys were playing at first show you absolutely belonged. Some teams are a flash in the pan, but I think Bubba's got you guys in position to be a strong force in the BSC, or somewhere else if you guys switch conferences.

And, I thought your facilities look extraordinary they showed on the field...the practice center and all. We'd take that!

It does suck to lose a playoff game. But a team that leaves it all on the field and loses in the playoffs has nothing to ashamed of, or to apologize for.

I really think Lehigh's issue was they expected to play at home against UNH (and I'd bet the coaches told the players prior to the Lafayette game that they'd host a playoff game if they beat the Leopards), and once it was announced Lehigh was playing on the road, they were disappointed and weren't able to get focused for the game as much as they needed to. I would equate it to kids waking up on Christmas morning and opening their presents and finding out they didn't get the 1-2 presents they really wanted and feeling disappointed as a result.

Regardless of the reason(s), Lehigh laid an egg against UNH, but that's water under the bridge.

In our first game, we'll face a 2 loss conference runner up that has been ranked in the top 10. If we win, that will be followed by either a two loss conference co-champ or a 3 loss conference runner up that has been ranked in the top 5. Very few easy paths from here on out.

How do you feel about your coach? Obviously did an outstanding job but will he leave? Mike Houston bolted pretty quick. I was surprised myself. Thompson may stick around a while. It's a great FCS job. Ours is rumored at a few places but haven't heard much else. Obviously we want him to stay also. But if he leaves I'm praying our DC gets the job. He's truly the best kept secret in Big South coaching. We can lose Chadwell but keep our DC as HC and I don't think we'd suffer much at all.

The last few years have been fun. It's awesome when both of the local schools are really good. Something fun to see in the news other than just USC/Clemson/Panthers all the time.

Yep. The P&C is absolutely horrible. And not just with sports coverage but definitely bad with sports. I've noticed how they'll downplay or bury big moments of Citadel football. And CSU...even worse. Citadel or CSU could win the conference next year....but let USC lose to Kentucky or Clemson blow out Wake Forest and that's the main story. I get that they're the states major programs.

I am not sure why they have a Napoleon complex, just win and prove your the best team in the country and everyone will shut up.

Heck, as much as it pains me to say we weren't the best team in the SoCon this year, but we had our shot. That's the great thing about FCS-every team not in the Ivy or the SWAC has a shot at the NC. No bitching, no whining, no excuses, just win and it's yours.

The past three years we have met the #1 teams country in the poles in our second playoff game, but do you hear me complain? No, if you want to be the best you have to beat the best. Did we complain in 2013 when we were left out despite 8 FCS wins (two losses were by a total of 5 points to the #15 and #17 teams) and a share of the SoCon championship? No, we had our shot.

This year the SoCon had 4 teams IMO who were a paper thin margin from each other (Citadel Samford UTC Wofford) and all 4 were top 15 caliber I felt. Citadel won the gauntlet in regular season. Now Wofford is making the survivor series playoff run!

To take that out a little further and put some metrics to it, I would say there were 6 Teams in the SoCon who were a paper thin margin from each other.

The average margin of victories AND losses in the 5 games that each of those 6 teams played against the others was less than 1 score for each of the 6.

Well I found it funny that when we win, even win the conference, we get a little paragraph on the front of the sports section and a story on page 4.

You're absolutely correct. The P&C has a long history of animosity for almost anything resembling authority and order. Their coverage of The Citadel (not just sports but the school itself) and Police are so blatantly bias and disgusting. I used to be a print subscriber but I canceled 2 years ago.

If WCU can get their defense turned around, they will be in it. Adams is for real. Maybe a little inexperience this year (too many INTS), but he is good and will give the SOCON fits.

In regard to the whole conference, a little tidbit from the SOCON notes, 16 of 36 games this year were one possession games. That's a lot. Since 2013, 54 of 124 have been one score games. We have a pretty competitive conference. I like it. SOCON home teams are also 71-54 at home in conference games. That is not a lot of home advantage. I like it....when we are away at least.:D

Yeah Hartsell is decent. Warren Peper was ok. We had issues with Ken Berger. He asked a coach once if we thought we could beat Summerville High School. He wasnt joking. The coach said "does Summerville have 65 seniors who will get FCS scholarships? Because we'd still be stronger and more experienced." It was such a slap in the face and showed how little Berger actually understood the game.

The treatment that paper does regarding the Citadel is just shameful. EVERY college will have the occasional bad incident but when Citadel has one the P&C makes it a national crisis.

I was hosting a Recruit from Irmo HS one time (this was WAY back when FU was winning SoCon Championships EVERY year). While we were eating lunch together after he had watched a Spring Practice scrimmage on Sat. morning, he told me that he didn't think he wanted to come to Furman because he didn't want to play for a College Team that was worse than his High School Team.

It's amazing how some people think that. How they truly think a high school team could beat an FCS team. I mean maybe some of the best....like the BEST De La Salle or Hoover or Byrnes teams might be able to hang with some bad D3 teams if they were to play. And that would mainly be because of the FBS recruits on those teams.

But for someone to look at an FCS team....and wonder if a high school would beat them. Wow. Pure ignorance. I've never seen a high school team with 65 seniors who all got FCS scholarships and then got 1-4 more years of D1 coaching, strength & conditioning and experience....and were still a high school team.

At least you are always playing for a national championship. Its the UCONN women of the FCS and your exposure is over the top and you play in front of 19000 every game. So, nobody is going to beat them in the playoffs. Nobody, not for about 50-100 years.

Nah. All dynasties fall. Before it was NDSU it was App State. Before them it was Georgia Southern. Miami. FSU. Bama. Southern Cal. They always say "theyll never fall". Only Mount Union has really done it forever. What that Wyoming coach built at NDSU is a dynasty and it will carry on a bit longer. But they all fall.

Won't be this year or the next. But another program will rise to be the next FCS dynasty.

you're drunk go to bed. There is no reason for this team to fail. No offense to the FCS but if I'm a High School kid I am going to play for the most exposure I can get. NDSU has created that and no one else has or will because you are all in too highly populated and second and 3rd fiddle universities. For us, we are too close geographically to NDSU and our programs are too aligned. So given a choice who do you take?

Not saying they won't always be good. But the national championship streak will break. Someone else will be the next dynasty for a few years. NDSU will still rise up every few years and win another. But I highly doubt they'll become the FCS Mount Union and win 10+ in a row. Maybe I'm wrong. But I doubt it.

I mean absolutely no disrespect. Just saying...all historic runs end. But they'll always be a great team, don't deny that.

By "fall" I mean "not win the national championship". Im not saying theyll drop to a .500 program. Thats not happening. Someone said NDSU won't lose another playoff game foe 50-100 years. A joke obviously.

Exposure? Adrian Peterson got Heisman talk at FCS Georgia Southern. Armani Edwards and App State got front page Sports Illustrated covers. They were the NDSU of their time. And one day another team will also. Not this year. Or next. But it ALWAYS happens....unless you're in D3 and talk about Mount Union.

FBS. FCS. D2. All dynasties slow down and another rises.

It does suck to lose a playoff game. But a team that leaves it all on the field and loses in the playoffs has nothing to ashamed of, or to apologize for.
I watched a lot of good football teams lose Saturday but I saw no losers. Remember in the end there is only one.

The President of Youngstown State cheated LONG before he was caught...


His run to greatness began with the signing of Youngstown local Ray Isaac, a QB who could run with the best of them, and better than the rest of them when it came to 1-AA. Isaac also had problem bending NCAA rules and for a player of his caliber, he was in the right place at the right time.
A good friend of Tressels during his time at YSU was Mickey Monus. Monus was the head of the board of trustees, the CEO of an up and fast-coming pharmacy chain, and was on the sidelines for all of Youngstown State's games. It was Tressel who set up the first meeting between his star player and Monus.
The record states over the years Monus gave thousands of dollars to Isaac. The record also states Isaac used cars provided by Monus.
A few years later, Monus came up on Federal fraud charges for "bookkeeping irregularities" and all of the stories of Monus' relationship with Isaac came to light. At the time the NCAA ordered and investigation in which Tressel denied any knowledge of any wrong doing.

Well one of the bars in Big Sky is called the Broken Spoke. Nah, I was enjoying my time out here and didn't realize who I was enjoying my time with until it was too late. This girl was from the woods and mountains north of Flathead lake and damn could she dance. I know I can hold my own when I have to jig but she was making me look bad at points. Was well worth it, but it was awkward in the morning when we came upstairs from the downstairs living room and I found out it was the brides cousin. I knew she was the wedding planner, but that was just weird. Would not trade this week(end) for anything though. I honestly could see myself moving out here. I do not want to leave.

He took a team at The Citadel who was struggling and almost immediately made them SoCon contenders and won it last year, won a playoff game, beat SEC team. And now in his first season at JMU...he's in the National Championship and beat NDSU at Fargo in playoffs.

Is this guy a future FBS star like Chip Kelly who emerges from D2 and becomes a big timer??? Have to think if he does this another season or 2 at JMU that he'll be a name that FBS teams start looking at. Rising star.

Haha been a wild year. Honestly...who was the better odds on favorite this year, Hillary or NDSU? Year of the upset!!! Now prepare for the Washington Huskies to beat Bama and OSU/Clemson to win the FBS title! The Clippers to win the NBA title. And other craziness.

this was a huge huge huge win for jmu, but i would not call it an upset, and the odds were never really that far in ndsu's favor if you take away all previous years' achievements (which meant nothing during last nights game)

This

NDSU had a ton of holes and it doesn't help when you lose your top D lineman and one of the top linebackers in the county to injury but that is not why we lost. JMU has great players at all of their skill positions, NDSU does not. I personally think that our receiving corps rank towards the bottom of the FCS, NDSU is a very limited team through the air against a good D and it got exposed last night against a fast and physical secondary.

NDSU is also a pretty young team, we lose a couple linebackers and 3 O-lineman but we return virtually everybody else, we will be back and don't be surprised if we get all home games in the playoffs next year.

I live in Fargo year round? I was out here for a wedding and told Thumper if he wanted to get away from that loss, he should have came out here with me and we could have gone out into the mountains and found some mountain goats or rams to go take on.


You trying to recreate Broke Back Mountain out there? You better get back to Fargo buddy...


Well one of the bars in Big Sky is called the Broken Spoke. Nah, I was enjoying my time out here and didn't realize who I was enjoying my time with until it was too late. This girl was from the woods and mountains north of Flathead lake and damn could she dance. I know I can hold my own when I have to jig but she was making me look bad at points. Was well worth it, but it was awkward in the morning when we came upstairs from the downstairs living room and I found out it was the brides cousin. I knew she was the wedding planner, but that was just weird. Would not trade this week(end) for anything though. I honestly could see myself moving out here. I do not want to leave.

I am on my way back from the the airport in a couple of hours and will be back in Fargo tonight.

This is me showing y'all how you jinxed yourselves.

Or that I was right all along to say that this was not a team that would win a championship? I spoke prematurely after the SDSU game and believed NDSU had it in the, but can't look flat for 45 minutes and expect to win a football game.

I live in the DFW area it it still smarts to see the Dallas Stars. I have many memories of watching the North Stars at the old Met. There are some people here (must be yankee transplants like me) still wearing North Stars jerseys at their games. Much like the F'N Hawks wearing their former logo.
