The home teams won in every game today except Towson, and since Towson has no more than 250 fans, it was probably more Duquesne’s home than Towson.

Maybe Maine being home, and Colgate, means something

I like Maine by 10 or so. I think the Black Bears have been undervalued. This is very solid team on both sides of the ball. I think they'll be the last CAA team standing.

[CockyGeek]

Should be another nail biter. I think I actually like our chances in this one better. Having played so many games in a row is going to be detrimental, though.

I think the slump from the KSU barn burner showed in the first half. Getting a win should put some wind under those Gamecock wings. Will it be enough on the road trip to Orono? This may easily the hardest road game JSU will have had under Grass.

But JSU winning this would not surprise me at.

After the CAA performance this weekend, I'm leaning towards JSU, even if there is a blizzard on game day.

[clenz]

I've never bought into the cold will hurt a southern team - or hear a northern. It impacts both teams the same. Cold is cold for both teams.

The difference comes in that if things go poorly for a southern team they are more likely to quit faster because it's cold and it's not their norm.

If things start to turn for JSU it'll be if they are willing to fight in the cold.

It was around 40 last night towards the end of the game and the fog wasn't making it any warmer.

Based off the current forecast the weather may not be as big an issue as some are expecting. We get freezing temps even here in the south. I think we got to 34 last night. No snow in the outlook and the wind looks to be a non-factor. Hopefully their prediction holds.

Now take that low, make it colder, and make that the warmest you get

I've also seen a handful of JSU games this year, including every single one through your eyes in our group text.

If there is a team in this years playoffs I'd bet on to quit in the cold if things go poorly, it's jsu

I'm not saying it's the same, it's going to be cold, but based off of how some people are talking you'd think it's going to look like The Day After Tomorrow and it's not.

It was 38 last night... So it will be 32 at game time this weekend. Who cares? Pretty sure most of our players have played in freezing temps here in the South.

And I thought JSU had big olinemen.

[KPSUL]

Or Frisco 2015

I went to your game against NDSU in Frisco. I think I'd size up the difference in that game in 2 words: Carson Wentz. Fortunately for JSU, Wentz won't be playing QB for Maine. Although, I think Maine's chances weigh pretty heavily on whether or not their #1 QB, Chris Ferguson, plays and how close he is to 100%. My comment on JSU guys flying to Maine was more in fun - although there is a lot more to playoff homefield advantage that climate differences. I agree that a 15 degree difference in temperature may not make a significance impact, maybe combined with all the other factors of a very long (by FCS standards) road trip it will. Obviously it doesn't always, there are plenty of examples where teams do well in the same situation.

I'm not worried about the temperature at all. I'm worried about Cooper's ability to stay calm. He threw two interceptions that weren't anywhere near receivers.

I'm worried about whether our defense is actually going to be able to make tackles in the backfield. Too many missed tackles last week.

Yeah, I've been saying all season the offense will go as the offensive line goes, right now the OL is doing a good job and Coop just needs to settle in. I think starting out the game with a heavy dose of Jalen Greene could be a could way to ease Coop into it rather than come out 5 wide, guns ablazing.

I think the EWU game in 2013 had flurries sporadically. Frisco even had sleet in 2015. The last time JSU likely played in relevant snow accumulation was in the 1989 D2 Championship. 3” of snow fell during the game, and Miss.College won by a FG, 3-0. Of course, that win was later forfeited as part of the NCAA penalties they had to pay due to cheating.

Maine AGS posters will lay low before the game, if they win they'll jump on right after the game and try to tell you "told you so" blasting you for everything posted pre-game. In fairness they have been traumatized by losing 13 out of 15 games to rival UNH.

Definitely not a powerhouse offense. Looks like their defense has carried pretty much all the water for them. 1st in yards allowed per carry, 14th in yards allowed per pass attempt, and 13th in 3rd down defense.

That would worry me, but based on what I've been seeing today during my "research" I think Maine is going to have a helluva time trying to move the ball if we don't give them any freebies like we gave ETSU. Our offense vs. their defense will be strength on strength and Coop is going to have to perform like he did in the 2nd half last night to get things done. When you consider that UMaine apparently really likes to play man coverage and we might have the best set of wideouts in the whole bracket that matchup starts to look less daunting. I really like the matchup between our defense and their offense.

I think if JSU has a playoff run he will be a big part of the reason. Jamari and Pearson are both guys who draw double teams, pair those guys with our big tight ends and someone will get open and my bet is it's going to be Shaq a lot.

that was the game where Rhode Island went ahead on a late TD pass to Aaron Parker with about 45 seconds left but the Rhode Defense let Maine kick the game winning FG as time expired

The cold itself won't impact anything

The ability to not "quit" when things get a touch dicey and it's in the 20s with snow on the ground and 15mph winds blowing is where things come in

Both teams have to play in the cold. That's what it is. The difference could be in maybe players being more used to the cold and it takes longer or more to impact their mental state than a bunch of kids who have shown - many many many time this year - the ability to lose focus and control and interest rather quickly who are largely from the south where it may get cold a couple days a year but don't have any prolonged cold.

As I said, they'll be practicing in 60° weather all week. Just because it's 35-40 at 1 am doesn't make it easy to mentally prepare for

Snow is supposed to stop falling on Tuesday and the high doesn't drop to freezing until Saturday. There is no reason there should be any snow at all on that turf with the current outlook.

[CenMEBlackBearFan]

Maine really sucks and have no idea how they won 8 games and the CAA title. Surely their defense that was #2 in FCS against the run had nothing to do with it. Playing only 4 games at a home was a huge advantage for them and now they get to play a fifth game where they havn't lost since last year. This team plays like they have no chip on their shoulder and they give up the minute they get behind just like did against WKU down 21 -0 in the first 7 minutes of the game. Now that the Saturday high is only 32 F and it's not gonna snow I am not even sure they will show upxdrunkyx

Maine really sucks and have no idea how they won 8 games and the CAA title. Surely their defense that was #2 in FCS against the run had nothing to do with it. Playing only 4 games at a home was a huge advantage for them and now they get to play a fifth game where they havn't lost since last year. This team plays like they have no chip on their shoulder and they give up the minute they get behind just like did against WKU down 21 -0 in the first 7 minutes of the game. Now that the Saturday high is only 32 F and it's not gonna snow I am not even sure they will show upxdrunkyx
That’s great and all, but the real advantage is that there is no FBS teams in the state of Maine, unlike Alabama.xcoffeex

well I thought Stony Brook had 2 pretty good RBs until yesterday when SEMO shut them down, who knows what the CAA is right now

but yes, Maine D looked pretty good at times with some good hard hitting players, 3 first team all CAA ....

Its mostly miles of snowdrift this time of year. In the summer, around July 4th, the snow melts enough to uncover the Desert of Maine... You can visit it on your drive up from Portland, but it will be covered by glaciers this time of year.

As much as I want Maine to win this game, I don't see it happening. Maine is a good team, but not great and benefited greatly by the schedule and injuries this year.

Missed JMU, UD

Faced UNH, Nova, URI, Elon without their star QBs. They may have been the only team to have managed that bit of luck.

Lost to W&M. Best win was Towson - and, in the process, must have provided great game film for those that followed them.

I think the thing that is most underrated is Maine's defense. They make big plays. Comes down to if Ferguson is healthy and Maine can find ways to score. It's really that simple. I think Maine is going to take care of business and win.

2) Looks like a Bear
3) Face that can be friendly & inviting AND, at the same time, toothsome & fierce.

I do not think the weather gives Maine any significant advantage.

It is just as cold right now in Jacksonville, Alabama as it is in Orono, Maine. JSU is also not having to deal with rainy practice conditions.

Not suggesting you are, but many folks assume it does not get cold in the South. We don't have -8 or anything, but it is routinely in the 20s and 30s. So, playing outdoors in the cold isn't going to be some great mental block for JSU.

Roc was a stud... thankfully when we faced him the OL wasn't playing well. A few weeks ago against us the JSU OL found a few opportunities to open up some holes and the running game came alive. I think JSU plays best with a balanced attack. If they can get some yards on the ground it will give Cooper the confidence he needs to put the game away.

The biggest problem we had last year against you guys was Horn. The OL wasn't playing well because you were selling out on Roc because Horn wasn't a threat. We got the running game going this year after Coop started lighting your secondary on fire.

I might root for a CAA opponent unless that team's Coach is on the selection show crying b/c his team did not get a seed and the other two teams that beat the team you lost to did not have their QB, give me a break.
Would expect Houston had not signed his new deal at that pointxrotatehx

It's okay. The L you guys get this weekend will be exactly the same as JMUs. So Houston can put that in his trophy case I suppose.

Are any of you JSU fans traveling North or did the band take your seats?

I don't think there was a travel package offered by the university. I've heard there's a small contingent flying up themselves though. The pep band is flying up tomorrow afternoon.

You apparently stopped listening after he said it was disrespectful. He laid the blame for not earning a seed directly on him and the staff for not getting it done against UNH and Elon -- "We didn't take care of business." From the times I've observed him in interviews, he pulls no punches and says exactly what he thinks. Little to no 'coach-speak' and lots of (sometimes brutal) honesty with him. If you want to call that crying, go ahead.

I still won't root for Maine to win this weekend, but if they do I'll congratulate them and wish them luck in Fargo. They'll be trying to do what only 1 team has been able to do in the past 8 playoffs - beat the Bison in the FargoDome.

FTR I don't think we win @ Colgate this weekend, regardless of the drama / game of chicken going on in Harrisonburg, Greenville, and Charlotte right now.

Maine wouldn't go to Fargo with a win. You would.

You're right -- I flunked bracketology 101 -- would be Weber State wouldn't it...

and I don't think we'll be making the trip to Fargo FWIW.

So, Cocks are up & on the way to Bangor, you say?

I hope they have protection with them.

This article just reads as a huge resume for why JSU will probably win. Also, the title game for JSU was 2015 not 2016. I even know that.

That is so true.... 2015 season, 2016 calendar. I apologize to the Maine Newspaper

It was classified, and nobody was supposed to know because the president hadn't announced it.

When we stopped in Bangor, the greeters were there and started taking pictures of us. I'll never forget our command running around trying to get them to delete all the pictures. One of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Almost a mistake, bad decision. Maine is threatening to run away if they can score on their next drive. JSU needs to convert.
