FCS Playoff First Round Thread

[Gully]

Lot of reports that ESPN is going to have another large layoff between thanksgiving and Christmas. Wish Anish the best either way, very professional and does a great job.

I wonder if Fox Sports can take advantage of ESPN's idiocy and capture their market share?

and its showing in their productions, bush league at beast for some of the shows etc, even the stat people consistently wrong names, schools, logos, etc.. its bad. ESPN used to be the flagship of professional for production, not anymore and getting rid of talent isn't going to help but guessing they will drop higher paid guys

Anish did not sound very positive on anything after the FBS year is over to me and making comments to be at an NDSU game in street clothes sounded like he may know or at least be expecting the worst

I am sure it was on here already, but......Anish will not be calling any of the FCS playoffs. He does a weekly segment on Bison 1600 and spilled the beans today. said he might be here as a fan tho.

We they fired all of the B and C team announcers. When youve got Desmond Howard calling a MAC game you know they are now working these guys. Bet there are alot of unhappy people there now.

So Anish is likely out yet Jamele Hill is still employed??? That says all that needs to be said about the once worldwide leader.

Yes. They’re choosing studio talent over booth talent. It’s like when MTV stopped playing music videos.

I’m going to do exactly that, and am interested to see Northern Arizona come to Fargo.
We saw the plucky underdog, non-scholly San Diego team last year, so hoping to see Big Sky name-brand QB Case Cookus. Cookus was the 2015 STATS FCS Freshman of the Year.
Is he a future NFL player, or just a Big Fluffy Phenom? Would be fun to see.

Cookus got extra famous for being ejected for targeting on his block against Montana in the 1st half. NAU ended up losing 17-15 in Missoula, so it may have affected the outcome. How many QB’s will ever get ejected for targeting?
Judge for yourself......

Northern Arizona also has a lame duck Head Coach, Jerome Souers, so they can win one more home game for him before before going on the road to Fargo.

Change of direction at Northern Arizona - Jerome Souers continues on as head coach, with a promotion of a coordinator to Co-Head Coach. Sounds like the AD who was pushing Souers out is actually now moving on, so the first thing NAU actually needs is a new Athletic Director.

This sucks. I really enjoyed Anish's call for games. Best of luck to him in the future.

NAU’s coach is a pretty likable guy.

The guy is a class act, he will be fine
