The camera work and commentary were horribly disappointing and unbecoming of any televised game.
The crowd was some how even worse. Attendance: 11,825. Unreal. 400 more people attended the thanksgiving game vs robert morris 12 years ago. Will the semi-final be at least 75% full?

Kinda odd to go back 12 years for a reference point instead of just one year where attendance was virtually the same as last year's quarterfinal. Last year's semifinal had over 16k but that was JMU and that was an "expected" home game so I have doubts we match that this year (having a 3 day midweek blizzard won't help either). Regardless the 12k playoff crowds have more impact than an 18k regular season crowd IMO and I'm pretty sure we'll still have a pretty good impact this Friday night even with it being well short of a sellout.
The attendance is what it is at this point. I'd say 12k for the 2nd round and quarters and 15k for the semis is probably the standard going forward.
OK, there was one play where it looked like one of their OL grabbed onto one of our DL's facemasks way out in the open and held onto it for a five count.
I want to go back and look for it - does anybody remember this play and/or when it occurred in the game. I think it was a big gainer in the second half.

I don't recall that one specifically but I do remember that there were numerous instances where members of our DL were partially undressed. And right at the end of the game one of the newer guys was so frustrated by it he took a swing at the offender. Fortunately the zebras missed that.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
