SHSU at SLU Game Thread

[Tubakat2014]

Bearkats up 14-0.

[Twentysix]

It isn't looking good for SELA so far. SHSU moving the ball really easily and has a pick 6 already.

I'm insanely happy about this so far... Bennett is one heck of a QB though, so I'm trying to remain calm!

[BisonFan02]

Picked SHSU to win this one...but the first team to show some sort of D will win.

[Twentysix]

Wow. Huge turnover infavor of SHSU.

SLU muffs a punt recovery. SHSU ball on the 3?

Should be 21-7 in a second.

[Red & Black]

What a dumb play. Why try and get that ball?

It went off his fingertips when he tried to catch it on the fly.

The Lions turn it on in the second half in the games I've seen.

Or with 2 min to go in the 2nd qtr :(! If the Kats are playing their normal game we can get too far out for it to matter.

[Professor Chaos]

Could NDSU end up being the only seeded team to survive in the top half of the bracket? I have to believe Sam goes back home next week if they win this one bidding against UNH.

Yes sir

[BisonFan02]

That wasn't a backwards pass? interesting.

[centennial]

The mist is taking out the throwing game, this favors SHSU.

[FormerPokeCenter]

It's hard for me to cheer for either team. Large sections of the online fan bases of both are pretty annoying, but for entirely different reasons ;)

I am pushing for SELA even though they are a more dangerous opponent for NDSU.

[hebmskebm]

Serious question: How was SELA able to land a big time transfer talent like Bennett? I'm not asking rhetorically. What a huge get for them, that guy is fantastic.

Lots of people have been asking that...I honestly don't know...they picked up a lot of transfers during the off season....

[centennial]

Touchdown SELA.. they are dominating.

not sure I'm saying this right but one of the coaches at SLU knew him from high school or camps and when he heard Bennett was leaving he talked him into coming there. The impression I got was Bennett was very familiar with SLU already.

24-21 SLU Halftime.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Finally, a game worth watching.

[caribbeanhen]

Hammond folk making some noise

[BEAR]

Looks like no one on here cares... xlolx

They're either watching a GREAT game or trying to log onto Bizonboard to read the news.... xlolx

[BEAR]

Sam leads 29-24. Two point conversion fails. Loved that battle at the goal line though.

[BEAR]

Big series stop for SAM with 9 min. left in the fourth... momentum swing to KATS.

[Bearkats94]

Kats board keeps going down and can't get any up date

[Tubakat2014]

SHSU 29, SLU 24. Kats have it 4th and 1. JJ is in for Bell who suffered an injury

[BEAR]

Bell goes down... #15 replaces him on 3rd and 7... 4th and 1...going for it! BIG PLaY

[Bearkats94]

This is driving me nuts listening to this game being a Kat fan.

[caribbeanhen]

that was abusive

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

What a drive. What was Sam Houston doing on defense?

[knucklehead]

What a drive! WOW

[MTfan4life]

xlolx Is the Lion King soundbyte a tradition?

Awesome drive. SHSU was way to tentative on defense on that drive, but that was all Bennett! Stud.

[Red & Black]

SHSU has no pass defense.

Poor coaching by SHSU down the stretch. Terrible 4th down decision, and then sieve defense with 1:30 left in the game. Frustrating to watch; I was hoping UNH got matched up with SHSU. SLSU is certainly the more talented squad. Next week's going to be exciting.

[MTfan4life]

That was an awesome game! It's about time there was a nailbiter in these playoffs!

[Red & Black]

And that'll do it.

Bell's injury made Sam's last drive a whimper. Congrats to the Lions. Great game! xthumbsupx

[Cleets]

85 yards in 40 seconds... on 7 plays (sweet jeezus) that's a terrible way to lose a game

[Texas]

Said it all year, SELA is the team to beat. Our side of the bracket imo is much heavier than the other.

[WrenFGun]

Watching that last drive makes me wonder how SELA didn't score 70 points that game?

Exciting to play someone we've never seen before, and without an obnoxious fan base to boot!

SELA vs NDSU @ Fargo will be the Natty champ.

[Grizo406]

Kinda' sad that another "Big Sky Champion" went down today, huh?!!?

[slostang]

Wow, what a great ending for SELA.

Bennett at one point was considering transfering to Cal Poly. What could have been for Cal Poly.

Considering SELA barely just beat a team that some thought didn't even belong in the playoffs, I don't think they can look past UNH.

Shame we didn't get to see SHSU destroy you at Bowers, but I'm sure Bennett and co. will in Hammond.

[WrenFGun]

Lmao. Keep talking.

Which part of your 6 DI wins belonged in the playoffs? I think you were clearly one of the best 8 at-large candidates but I was stunned that you were admitted to the playoffs. I guess I have no problem with the committee taking a clearly superior team but it was an odd time for a first!

EIU, Towson, and EWU can all beat SELA and NDSU.

[UNH Fanboi]

We'll see. Should be an interesting game. The teams don't have any common opponents, so it's hard to gauge how they stack up against each other.

[Sammy94]

That's the worst fan base I've ever seen in person. You sure can tell they have never won a playoff game before. Great game but please represent the SLC better then that going forward. I won't be back to Strawberry Stadium. I was expecting the Louisiana class McNeese shows. Got a lot to learn Lions. On another note one of the best games I've been to in a while, just wish we were on the winning side.

I completely agree with this.

SHSU should not have been admitted to the playoffs, no way no how, horrible precedent to set.

That being said. They clearly were one of the best 16 teams.

You do realize they abolished the 7 DI-win guideline before the season, right?

Doesn't matter 6 DI wins in a 12 game season is ridiculous.

By this same logic, NDSU could schedule 3 (4 in a 12 game season) DII/DIII/NAIA games reap craploads of money and have 7 (8 in a 12 game season) home games every year and still get into the playoffs with a few conference losses.

[katstrapper]

All the SHSU haters got to be happy!! Off to enjoy the holidays...

[Tubakat2014]

I'll never understand why Fritz didn't go for a QB sneak in that last 3rd and 1 situation. We have to fire our DC...

But in the end, I'm still proud to be a Bearkat. This was my final football season as an SHSU student, and I am very proud of what Fritz and the team has accomplished over the past three years. I'm fortunate to have witnessed such an amazing era of Bearkat football! Also, congrats to Southeastern Louisiana for a great, well deserved win. Represent the SLC well from here on out!

Regarding the comments of SHSU not belonging in the playoffs... the committee's job is to pick the best possible teams that meet the given criteria. SHSU met the given criteria, and over the past two games I think the Kats made a very strong case as to why the committee made the right decision to include them. Should 6 D1-win teams be eligible to make the playoffs in a 12-game season? An 11-game season? It's a very valid question. But it's not going to change this year's playoff field. Time to move on...

Sam Houston definitely belonged in the playoffs and are one of the top five or six teams IMO. Too bad we had to play each other in the second round. Hopefully, one day, the NCAA will avoid conference rematches if at all possible. Shame they had to go home losers tonight. Flanders was a class act coming up to our team huddle after the game was over. Wish him well in what will hopefully be a nice NFL career!

They sure came along way since flipping people off on national TV.

And to UNH fanboi, I think you are misunderstanding why people think SHSU shouldn't have made the playoffs, it wasn't because they weren't a good team. It is because of how few DI wins they had with the schedule they created.

Good thing voting violations never affected the football skills. Your team got owned twice in the championship game.

There are no excuses for SHSU.

[Nickels]

I never knew a fan base could so be trashy. SELA fans are terrible. We had 13 kicked out of our section alone. I really miss losing to the Bison. At least most of their fans were decent. I was embarrassed for the SELA.

NH fans be prepared. The trash you are about to witness will make your stomache turn.

My favorite question for SELA fans, who was your qb last year? Not one of these dip****s knew.


Been a hell of a run. Thanks SHSU seniors.

SELA fans- quit embarrassing our conference. We know you've never been, but at least pretend you have.

Words cannot describe how ****ty their fan base was. I was flipped off and cussed out by people who have never met me. They even had guys cussing out our woman and acting like they were going to get physical with them. Worthless coonass trash to the least.

as a football fan I will admit I don't mind watching Sammy play, but it seemed some of the creativity was gone this year. As for the the few Sammy fans that come on this board..... wow, instant entertainment with no football knowledge.... UNH would have smoked you like a thanksgiving turkey next week.

This Kat team wasnt going to make it Frisco. The defense has been horrific all year and other defenses have caught up to a point of what the Kats have been doing the last three years. I look for some major changes during the offseason, most notably hoping Fritz addresses the DC position. The Kat D is built off of speed and pressure and Collins sure as hell didnt bring that to the table this year.

[Samalum'10]

Collins couldn't even spell pressure....

Save that thought until after SELA smokes NHU and remember that we should have won that game yesterday!

[lionsrking2]

Save that thought until after SELA smokes NHU and remember that we should have won that game yesterday! Replace the "should" with "could" and you have a point. We had 495 yards to Sam's 301 ... you were 0-11 on third down, 3-18 passing, and only scored 13 offensive points. We also missed a routine FG. We "could" have won by three TDs. We'll gladly take the one-point W.

[Sader87]

Hypothetically, who would have hosted the game if it was UNH-SH St? Basically, how does it work if two unseeded teams advance and meet one another? Are bids put out again?

Would have gone to the bid process, and without knowing what they were, I'm pretty certain Sam Houston would have hosted. Better facilities, more experience hosting, and my guess is they put in a higher bid.

[Sader87]
