    Still dislike SDSU way more - the only reason I find myself disliking the Dukes is jealousy.

    Good point
    Cover FCS nationally for HERO Sports, including recruiting coverage. My background is 5 years with The Sporting News as a national recruiting writer, and I just finished a 7-year stint selecting the PARADE All-America teams. Enjoy talking to FCS fans. Hit me up on Twitter @BrianMacWriter or on email at brian.mclaughlin@herosports.com.

    I predict ol' stig will out-stig himself at least once during the playoffs and potentially cost them a game because of it.

    Plus Stig will likely have zero issues with concussions, so that will help them. (Lots of purple)
    Hey Barkeep, another round of the green stuff for me and my buddies!

    What??? Nobody is suggesting UNI as the spoiler on JMU's side of the bracket? You never know... they could go on one a crazy spoiler journey like YSU, only to self destruct in Frisco, like they always do.

    Unlikely? Yes, but it could happen.

    You know UNI/Farley history in the playoffs. They lost to the Patriot league champ in the 1st round at home. (Lehigh)

    I agree with most of what Mike is saying, but when it comes to SDSU vs JMU, one thing that is not talked about is Stieg's ability to throw something new surprises the opposing teams haven't seen on film and TRICK PLAYS. We have been burnt by his trick plays every year. JMU might potentially play the Jacks for the 1st time and they may not be ready for this. This might be the difference maker when these two teams meet, I think.
    " Our strategy for winning against BISON was simple, we put our WRs and RBs in a 1 on 1 situation with their defense in the backfield.....everybody knows they have some freshman who cannot tackle in a 1 on 1 situation.....Joe Glen"

    You should warn them that stig is a waskewy wabbit.

    If they schedule a PED tests before the game and make these Purple Cats pee in a solo cup before the game, I will guarantee you half of them wont even come of the locker room after this.
