I took noticed. This is a solid win over a "good" 1-A team. Wouldn't have thought Nicholls would have the horses to get the job done but obvioulsy they did. xthumbsupx

[Cap'n Cat]

I noticed, too.

Attaboy, Nicholls State!

Great night for the Southland Conrference. Two wins over FCS top 20 teams and a win over a 2006 bowl team. Of course nobody will be talking about it (nor should they...Ap State deserves all it has coming to it in the next couple of days), but these absurd polls that shut the SLC out of the top 25 and these predictions I've been hearing where Poly and Portland were going to soundly beat Texas State and McNeese seem a little crazy now.

[McNeese_beat]

Let me get this straight. The winning score was a safety????

Yes, Nicholls blocked a punt out of the end zone.

[FCSFAN]

Let me get this straight. The winning score was a safety????blocked punt (freshman linebacker Garrick Spain blocked it) out of the end zone

[kardplayer]

Great job Nicholls!

[FCSFAN]

Congratulations.

The Colonels have Baliff's number xlolx

Great Win Nich!!!!

1 out of 2 ain't bad:


Central Arkansas over Louisiana Tech (FBS) and Nicholls State over Rice (FBS). I hear a lot of folks gnashing their teeth reading these picks, calling them gutless since I didn’t take a single FCS team to beat an FBS team. Well, Virginia, here’s where I show some testicular fortitude and pick not one, but two. A powerhouse team in transition to Division I, the Central Arkansas Bears have a good combination of anonymity and surprising talent – and they play one of the worst teams in FBS, Louisiana Tech of the WAC. Nicholls State, who nearly beat the Bulldogs after losing 31-21 last year to Tech, also have a great shot against a young Rice team (in Conference USA) that can’t stop the Klump family from the “Old Country Buffet”. Chalk me up for two, count ‘em, two big wins over FBS programs. Baby Bears 37, Bad Bulldogs 26, and “12 Different Herbs & Spices” 34, Minute Rice 31.

[Appstate29]

YAY two great wins for the FCS today! grats! feels great doesn't it!

[AggieFinn]

NSU getting it done! FCS pride mutha!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations. I gave up and went to bed last night during the long delay. Always good to see an FBS get beat.
xthumbsupx

congrats to Nicholls state

[813Jag]

It's a great weekend to be an FCS fan.

[Ivytalk]

Colonels own the Owls!:D xthumbsupx

[TexasTerror]

Nicholls State is not a bad team. They are a legit team and this article does them some justice, but does not give them complete justice. This should be a very strong team...

I can tell you that I was completely shocked when Rice hired Baliff as head coach.xnodx

Congratulations to Nicholls State!
Unfortunately with the late finish, the App State win and the Red Sox gettting a no-hitter, this story will get unfairly buried.

But a great win over a FBS school! :D

[bisonguy]

Congrats to the Colonels!!! xthumbsupx

[BobbyMo]

Well done Colonels

[igo4uni]

The Colonels are Generals today!!!

[ngineer]

Great to see--do you call you defense the 'nicholls back' on passing downs?:D Way to go. Rice, while not a Michigan is still a respected BCS school.

[mainejeff]

Congrats to Nicholls State and their fans! I like the way that these wins over FBS teams are becoming ho-hum. ;)

[kjacks27]

Nice win Colonels! Anytime a FCS team beats the FBS it is a great day. Should we start a new thread to discuss if Nicholls State is beatable or not?

Sorry just kidding! Way to go FCS!!!!! We are not the little guys anymore!!!

[TheValleyRaider]

Congrats Nicholls!

I would like to point out that I predicted 2 SLC teams in the postseason. They may have had a few down years, but they're back, and as tough as ever xnodx xnodx

[TxState_GO_CATS!]

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great job Colonelsxthumbsupx

[lizrdgizrd]

WTG Nicholls State!!! xhurrayx

[TColonel]

It is a great weekend to be a Colonel fan and the FCS for that matter! The coaches have been saying for some time that the Colonel D would be pretty good, well they held Rice All-American receiver Jarrett Dilliard to only 5 recpetions for 41 yards and in the process ended his 15 game streak with a TD reception. Furthermore, the Rice offense returned 9 starters from a team that averaged over 30 points a game in 2006 - last night, Rice finished with 218 yards and only 101 passing with Rice picking up only one first down over the last 25 minutes of the game.

Let's not get a big head for Southern Arkansas this weekend and also not be looking ahead to Nevada on the 15th.

Geaux Colonels!!!!!!!!!

[mistersykes]

Awesome job, Colonels! The SLC is really making a splash so far!

[Eyes of Old Main]

I two saw the score. Way to go, Nicholls!

[slycat]

I can tell you that I was completely shocked when Rice hired Baliff as head coach.xnodx

i wasnt too upset when he left. our new coach has set up a better system and doesnt sit on the ball when we are ahead (we would have lost yesterday if that had happened). penalties have been cut back too.

congrats to nicholls st. great win.

[Gil Dobie]

Congrats to Nicholls on the FBS win xthumbsupx

[GeauxColonels]

My brother-in-law and I really wanted to go to the game but we're going on vacation next weekend and couldn't justify taking the trip. However, we did listen to the entire game - all 5 HOURS - from 7 to midnight and let me say, the final score should have been a wider margin of victory.

That being said, the defense played great and is a force to be reckoned with in the SLC this year. We have a transfer DB from Southern Miss that ended up with 3 INTs and a TD (should have been 4 but one was nullified by a penalty) as well as 2 BIG kick returns to put the Colonels in GREAT field position.

It was a GREAT win for the program (only the 2nd over a FBS team in the program's history - the other was over Arkansas State). No doubt that App State's win in the Big House was inspiration for the Colonels.

GREAT job to both teams and Geaux Colonels!!! Go Mountaineers!!

[GreatAppSt]

Hey Nicholls Y'all burnt that Rice real good. All ya can do with it now is use it to slop the pigs.xthumbsupx Good job!!:D

[skinny_uncle]

You might have got upstaged a bit, but still a good win.

[Khan4Cats]

Congrats Colonels!! Chalk up two BS hides.

[GeauxColonels]

You might have got upstaged a bit, but still a good win.

Upstaged yes....and rightfully so. The Mountaineers' win at Michigan is certainly more impressive and significant on the macro level of college athletics. Ours is more of a micro accomplishment for the university.

Not at all! Give credit where and when it is due! I am happy for our SLC brethern. It will make a Demon victory over the Colonels all the more meaningful. Congatulations to the "boys down the bayou".
