AGS LOTTERY!!!

[GreatAppSt]

Ya get one pick n' one pick only. We'll find out who is Carnac, or is blood kin to Miss Cleo in 06. entries no later than the 6th of June. The question is who do you think will be crowned Da Champs in December???

I'll start it off and my pick much as it pains me to say is.............(drum roll)............................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ..........................

The Furman Paladins.

[Jackluv]

hmm good choice thats for sure.

but im gonna hav to saaayyy

UNH!!! santos will once again be unstoppable

[MR. CHICKEN]

GRIZZWOLDS......DAMN IT!...............:(......BRAWK!

[CatFan22]

Northern Iowa Panthers.

[BigDukeDawg]

i know this is horrible... but i actually think that JMU has a great shot

[Reed Rothchild]

Good to see the A-10 homers starting it up early!

[CatFan22]

i know this is horrible... but i actually think that JMU has a great shot

It was a tossup for me between them and UNI. But, alas, I went with UNI. I would like to see them win a title.

[X-Factor]

UNH

[FargoBison]

Montana

[mainejeff]

Montana

[Tod]

Wait a minute! Montana got two votes for #1, but already three here?

:confused: :confused: : smh : : smh :

Make it four, but I chose the Griz as my #1.

[Grizo406]

Make it four, but I chose the Griz as my #1.

Make that five, Tod, unless UNH, Georgia Southern, Colgate, or Delaware decide that they really want a late season run.:D

More than a little off topic here, but mainejeff's pick of Montana got my pea-brain in gear. I NEVER thought I'd appreciate, or agree with his point of view, and that's based solely on his seemingly endless attacks on President Bush.

I read an article today where Bush said he regretted some of his “tough talk” — such as saying Osama bin Laden was wanted “dead or alive” and challenging America’s enemies to “bring it on.”

As much as it pains me to say it, I think mainejeff might be right!

Hopefully...it'll be the Griz!

[AppGuy04]

UNH

[Demon Fan]

Northern Iowa - With the exception of Iowa State, their "tough" games are at home and most of the road games considered cake walks. All this for a very good #3 ranked team that looks to be peaking at the right time.

[Golden Eagle]

Northern Iowa

[ButlerGSU]

I like UNI as well.

[slostang]

I think App State is as loaded as anyone, but repeating is tough. I think that UNI and UNH have the offense, but what about defense winning championships? I think Cal Poly is loaded and can make a deep run, but their first trip to the playoffs was just last year and they have a tough road back with two IA on the schedule and no auto-bid. I honestly think any of the top 10 to 15 teams have a good shot at it and to win it takes some luck and no major injuries.

If I had to pick one it would be Montana.

I suspect that the Rabbits will have played the NC this upcoming year.
My bet is on the winner of the Montana/Poly game. UNI is right there also. And yes, unfortunately, the team that lays the only loss in I-AA on Poly won't be playing for the title, because they're transitioning. UNI, be happy that that game with NDSU didn't work out.

Sorry need to add single choice - Poly

[mainejeff]

:confused: :confused: : smh : : smh :

Make it four, but I chose the Griz as my #1.

Unfortunately Tod, I was not able to submit my Pre-Season AGS Poll (which I was really looking forward to). I was in Tennessee......visiting and buying some property. Looks like I may be well within driving distance of Chatty in the near future. With my luck they'll decide to move the NC just as I arrive there :mad: (would serve me right after all of my badmouthing that place). I hope that ralph still allows me to participate in the regular season polls.

For the record......I see Northern Iowa as the runner-up and UNH and Delaware as the other teams in the Final 4.

[*****]

Unfortunately Tod, I was not able to submit my Pre-Season AGS Poll ...The preseason poll does not count as a "strike" against you if you did not vote. The main thing (no pun intended) is to register by 8/15 for the regular season polls.

[GOKATS]

Northern Iowa

[GaSouthern]

Vermin Paladins

[JohnStOnge]

New Hampshire.

[PantherMan]

I have to be a homer and go with UNI. I would like to see a UNH-UNI championship. That would game would have some offensive fireworks!:twocents:

[ngineer]

For me it comes down between UNH and UNI, and I have to go with Santos. He won on the West Wing, too, so I figure that was a premonition.:D

[Eaglegus2]

I will say that...........................................


APP STATE REPEATS

[slostang]

APP STATE REPEATS
Eaglegus2, how high are the eagles going to soar this season?

[nevadagriz]

Montana if not them then cal poly! I sure have gained alot of respect for the stangs the last three years.
final answer Montana.

[ISUMatt]

Ill be the Homer...Illinois State, we are good...that should be the team motto :)

[SunCoastBlueHen]

I have a gut feeling that the Cowboys of McNeese State are going to rise up and take it all this year. (the Hens are a year away ;) )

[walliver]

I hate to say it, but ... The Furman Purple Barneys.

Of course I keep hoping that last year was just a dream and the Terriers will rise again and bite those horsey people.

Georgia Southern is a wild card, I wouldn't be surprised if they lose a couple up front but come on at the end - the real question is if they lose enough games early on to keep them out of the play-offs

[VictorG]

Got to be another homer here and say Montana.

[Reed Rothchild]

Montana - UNI in the final.

UNH doesn't get out of the quarters, again.

[griz&beer]

what does Ralph think? I have to go Griz, it is in the Blood, but Call Polly looks like a team that can win it all.

[Eaglegus2]

Eaglegus2, how high are the eagles going to soar this season?

We will take the Mountaineers in Paulson, then lose to them in a rematch in the semi's.:rotateh:

Just my opinion!!!!!!!!

[MarkCCU]

Furman

[*****]

It will definitely be one of the teams mentioned in my sig... :)

[DaGriz]

It will definitely be one of the teams mentioned in my sig...


You'll probably be the winner.

If we stay healthy I think the Griz have as good of a shot as anybody. Injuries, especially at QB, could be devestating. If that happens I hope we just make the playoffs. If not us than I have to think UNH. Santos and Ball should be a force to reckon with this year. GSU has a new "O" they are installing but you can never count them out. Cal Poly proved a lot last year when their QB went down and they didn't lose a beat. Noble could have a huge year at running back as well for the Stangs.

I pick:

1. Montana if healthy
2. UNH if UM not healthy
3. Cal Poly
4. GSU as the sleeper

[gr8ness97]

lol a transitioning team like WSSU will win it for the first time...

on a serious note, im going for UNH

[Gil Dobie]

Destiny's Children :eyebrow:

UNI over Youngstown for the Championship

[dbackjon]

UNI-UNH final - with UNH winning.

[MountaineerDrive]

homer/deja vu pick
Appalachian State over UNI...Marques Murrell returns a fumble for the winning touchdown this time, and UNI hates us as much as any other purple team in the land.

Oh, the IRONY! xlolx

[GannonFan]

I'm going with Montana.

[89Hen]

Good to see the A-10 homers starting it up early!
Funny to go back and see this comment as only 1 out of 5 A10 posters picked an A10 team while 6 Montana fans picked the Griz and Reed himself chimes in with "Montana - UNI in the final". xlolx

BTW, make it 2 of 6 A10 homers as I'm going with UNH. :p

[Uncle Buck]

I'm going out on a limb with Southern Illinois.

[89Hen]

I'm going out on a limb with Southern Illinois.
With 8 of 22 returning starters, I'd say so...

UNH:nod: :nod: :nod:

[PantherRob82]

i'm thinking uni-montana with uni coming out on top.

[slycat]

UNI....i'd like to see these guys win. they were a fun team to watch.

[Poly Pigskin]

I'm surpised to see so many Poly picks with the schedule that we have. 3 away games in a row at that other SDSU, Montana, and NDSU could easily mean we miss the playoffs altogether.

As for my pick, I'm going to go with UNH.

The sad thing is we may have our best team yet and we could possibly miss the playoffs if we lose both I-A games. If that were to happen, Cal Poly also has a game against DII Fort Lewis and that would only leave eight I-AA games. You need at least seven Division one wins to qualify for the playoffs and Cal Poly will not get an auto-bid if they win their conference. This would mean that we could only lose one of the I-AA game. That will be tough with away games against Weber State, 4th ranked Montana and 12th ranked NDSU and a home games against 20th ranked UC Davis and a very good SDSU team. The other I-AA games are @ Sac State, Southern Utah and Savanah State. It would be nice to pick up a win against San Jose Sept. 23rd and give Cal Poly some breathing room.

And a 7-4 team won't make the playoffs most likely, unless they have an auto-bid. This is where I think a D-II win can help.

[Grizo406]

...Cal Poly also has a game against DII Fort Lewis...

No matter how you do in this game, you're still going to take some heat for playing them. We hung 55 points on Fort Lewis, with at at best, a very mediocre offense, and the Mustang's offense, this upcoming season, looks to be far from mediocre.

Besides Iowa, Cal Poly is the only game I'm worried about for the Griz this year.

[GreatAppSt]

Sorry it has taken so long to bring this back up but with my move new job and house I honestly forgot about going back to look up the winners of the 2006 lottery.

And they are (Drum roll........)


Georgia Southern's ..Mr. EagleGus2:bow:

You three will carry the label of Carnac for the 2007 prediction season great job:thumbsup: :bow: :thumbsup: :bow: :thumbsup: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray:

How did he win?

Ooops my bad for fast scanning. Thanks for the catch Matt see edit.:)

I noticed that too!! And that when he made the initial post it was only one JMU poster picking the Dukes. Now, if a JMU fan hadn't picked the Dukes, then that would have be a news flash!


BTW, make it 2 of 6 A10 homers as I'm going with UNH. :p

Even after MaineJeff put his personal whammy on my Wildcats (and your Hens)?!!!! :p xlolx

I'm loving the support, but I have to put my vote on a THREEPEAT for the mountainqueers....can anyone stop Armanti? Not so far!

[JDC325]

Armanti State Mountaingoats.

[Ronbo]

Montana will come closer in 2007. We were very young in 2006.

[OL FU]

For Furman, I can think of at least three (maybe four) years we should have won the NC and didn't. So I am ready for a year where we shouldn't win the NC and do:nod:

[saccat]

From my heart...Montana State

From my head...App State.
