because the committee is not participating in the one and only MVFC pick em contest that you’re sponsoring

if you think Southern Illinois is going to beat Weber State in that Sasquatch setting you got blinded by the Southland yesterday

This ****ing season is a joke. SIU has a shot against WSU, that is about it

Hip me up here. I know nothing about Weber but I give them the edge anyway because of how poorly we've played on the road this year even when we won.

Looking at their schedule I see they beat one ranked team?

I have never thought Weber State was worth a ****, they are a good team but always seem to lack decent players on the offensive side of the ball but play good D, they are kind of like UND, good at home, kinda of ****ty on the road and always seem to kind of back into stuff.

I totally agree and you might just be 8-0

The game that Im having A little bit of a problem with is Eastern Washington at North Dakota State, If Paul can’t dial up at least one more hit song, I might have to drop the whole MVFC Paul McCartney and Wings theme

Sounds like us, this would be a great time for SIU to bid high for the home game - if there were any monies available. Which there aren't and we'd have to go to Brookings the following week anyway after they beat us like John Bonham's snare drum at our place. Its the Jacks NC to lose from where I sit

[NDB]

Losing to ewu would be the perfect bookend to the greatest run in college football playoff history.

34 days off might factor in.

A little bit of rest is good, but a month without playing competitive football is not good going into the playoffs against teams that are in synch and playing well.

I really could go with this if VMI's original QB was at the helm. The guy they got now is also pretty dang good, but just a hair less capable. In case you were wondering, the original guy transferred for his 5th year and may very well be leading a P5 this fall. I am pretty sure he is back up, but he is on the NFL radar in any event. Also, VMI has some unbelievable receivers. And most people probably know it, but these schools are only about 45 miles apart, on I-81, not that the crowd will pay much of a part as things are.

Home sweep....

hesitant to pick the Bison because the E Wash QB is scary good, just can't see them losing 2 in a row in Fargo but they should of still condemned that barn for fleas, ticks, lice and mange.... the Behemoth is wounded but still breathing ... barely

Monmouth is sneaky good, but KC knows Jersey from the old days and has an outstanding winning record in the playoffs... Monmouth will enjoy the Bar B Q joint and head home on the charter flight, movie will be .... Back to School ... staring Rodney Dangerfield ... No Respect

North Dakota not losing at home, at least Mizzu State fans can say we made the playoffs

VMI is a juicy upset temptation but no... just can't do it but I can always change my pick. VMI is the best team JMU has seen this spring for sure

S Illinois already shot the wad, not winning on the road in the shadow of the Sasquatch Stadium - typical MVFC Kool Aid game for anyone who's thinking otherwise

Holy Cross will have a very long day and be having many talks with self and Mother Mary comes to me on why they didn't just come down with Covid

Jacksonville State will talent to death Davidson, who I admit I had to refer to the map to see what Southern state the were actually in.... got it wrong as I was thinking it was South Carolina but nice season and I'm looking forward to seeing your offense....

Delaware better be ready for RB Julias Chestnut, Hen fans remember all the hype back in 2003 leading into the NC game vs Colgate when we kept being told how great Jamal Branch was.... Colgate lost that game 40-0 .... Now I think Chestnut is a serious threat but on the other hand he has not had to play a Defense that is anywhere near as good as Delaware is this year.... we will see, but Hens should be fine in this game ..... Nolan Henderson has really turned into a fine college QB and will see too it the Hens advance

sorry about the bold picks .... pun intended

[bonarae]

Meanwhile... this is a playoff-general matter but I cannot place it anywhere...

NCAA takes over COVID-19 testing and if there are any positives on a team on the day before a game, it is outright declared a no contest and a tennis-style walkover for the opponent is for sure guaranteed.

So...Teams, I would think, will “Rapid Test” on the same morning (if they can/need to mobilize their testing capacity) or before they travel (of they can’t make testing mobile) & scratch any kid that tests positive with ‘tight hamstrings’ or ‘oblique soreness’...won’t they? Good golly, imagine if you were the only Player for, say, VMI (who has never been to the Playoffs), who tests positive because his Grandma kissed him on the cheek after The Citadel win...if that happens to any of these Teams...they better watch any such kids CLOSELY for quite a while. I would be devastated if I was in such a situation. That pain & guilt-feeling (right or wrong) don’t go away...I don’t think.

The Homer in me thinks that if whichever of the 4 QBs starts against Weber can just manage the game and not turn the ball over we have a chance for the upset in a low-scoring ground pound game.

Haven’t seen much of the Dukes this year...how different is the Team they will put on the field Saturday from the Team that almost lost to Elon (1-5), who had just almost lost to (PFL non-scholarship) Davidson (no disrespect intended toward Davidson - love what the formerly Mildcats are doing) and was curb-stomped by Gardner-Webb the week before??

If JMU is anything less than ‘a lot different,’ VMI wins this game.

They haven’t played anyone and I haven’t watched that much of them either

Did Williams start a game in the wildcat? Baker is definitely out with the broken foot. Lyles has not seemed to recover from those cracked ribs. The options are limited. I expect Labanowitz to start.

I think so, maybe - it may have been a game where we just ran a lot of wildcat
