I-AA fans worst fears...

It's all about match-ups.

I like Eastern Washington over UNH and Furman over Richmond next week. I wouldn't feel bad if I was wrong though.

I like UNH over anyone if they're playing in New Hampshire...

Nundishka! Wrong on both accounts!

[matfu]

interesting that of the quarterfinalists last year, the only repeats this year are furman and eastern washington (up by 14 in 4th quarter).

i think ANY of the teams left could win it....although i would give cal poly and texas state less of a chance.

furman has not shown the consistency to make me think they will win it. i think app state is beatable. but only time will tell.

I'm starting to feel that way.....but I have to stick with my picks. 8-0 today :D .

Both A 10 schools will be hosting :hurray:

UNH blasts Colgate and still gets no respect because they played a Patriot League team.
Richmond goes to Hampton, the undefeated team with the two 1,000 yard rushers, ranked #2 and humiliates them. Won't mean anything because they are MEAC

The A 10 bashers will still give no respect xidiotx

No, I think UNH and Richmond are very strong. Being a SoCon fan I would hate to see A-10 repeat but Furman will have to play better at Richmond next week and UNH may continue to roll in that little snowny stadium. :confused:

[blur2005]

Fairly predictable results in the first round for the A-10 boys. Just gotta keep rolling, which both teams are doing. I just want to especially congratulate Richmond for proving just how weak the MEAC really is. Thank you SPIDAHS!!

That might be hard to predict...EWU will be on the couch. :cool:

[mainejeff]

Doh! I've been ragging on them all season. I should have known that their 4th Q lead was too good to be true :mad: .

I've got A-10 teams winning both games.

[GannonFan]

Both A10 teams came out today and played very well - granted, it was only a win over a Patriot League team (not a strong year for the Patriot) and a MEAC team, but that's two teams into the quarterfinals and both will host in the quarterfinal round (how Richmond beat Furman on the bid is a bit of a head scratcher but go figure). I like both A10 teams in the quarters as well - UNh has a dome UNI team that, as a program, hasn't won outside in the playoffs in almost a decade. Richmond takes on a Furman team that is finding ways to win despite finding ways to keep every game close - Tutt may be the difference that finally topples Furman.

A dome team in the snow of New England... we all know the result of that... just as the Colts. :smiley_wi

Check the Richmond - Hampton thread. We actually pull for other A-10 teams and that is a bad thing, Especially those of us who are Delaware fans. UD is out of the playoffs and so we shouldn't root for other A-10 teams and we should definitely not be happy if either UNH or Richmond win. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Why not? I'm cheering for them. They rep our conference and when one of them wins the title, it'll be further proof that the A-10 is still the strongest conference in I-AA.

Now see that is what is wrong with you A-10 fans ( not even going to mention those delusional Big Sky and Gateway fans). You forget SoCon has as many national championships in the past 10 years as A-10, plus one school was so good they had to move up out of the AA. Now if you 3peat this year I will say you are the best, but you have to get past Furman and Appy first. If SoCon wins then you are the second strongest conference. :beerchug:

Seem to recall us going on the road in '01 and knocking off the Tony Romo-led EIU Panthers. 4 years=a decade, eh Gannon? ;)

xidiotx xidiotx xidiotxThat's anyone who doesn't splay at the A-10 alter of course. Forbid that you might see I-AA as a whole and not A-10 centric.

:bawling: No but if UNH or Richmond make it a 3peat with a third different, even us SoCon will have to fess up that the A-10 has braggin rights as the strongest conference :bow: Go Appy and Furman :hurray:

[DC 'gater]

It hurts to say it but I have to go with UNH. Wow, they whipped us good.

My bad, forgot to add the provision about winning on the road outside, against a non-Ohio Valley team. That hasn't happened for quite some time.

That Ohio Valley team that year was a seeded 10-1 with its only loss coming to Penn State. We also played that game 1 day after a horrible snow storm followed by a 45 degree day which left the field set up for a mud wrestling match. Instead a 56-54 thriller!

I don't know who EIU lost to that year... but I know it wasn't Penn St... PSU hasn't played a I-AA since the early '80s.
