UNI's Athletic Director Rick Hartzell in his halftime interview:

*UNI has been told that if they win, they are the #1 seed.

Asked the committee the following things, in order:
*Asked NOT to host the Friday ESPN game, but rather the latest Saturday game.
*Asked that UNI's body of work be 'respected' in who we are paired against.
*Asked the committee to reward SIU for what they've done.

Also noted that a few years ago, when the Gateway got 4 teams in, the decision was either 4 Gateway teams OR UNI as a seed, and the committee chose to take the 4th team...they told the committee that it's time to "pay us back."

In other words, seed SIU 4th so we get them in the dome if we get them.:D

[Barnstormer]

Rick Hartzell just spoke to the dome and said they "think" it will be a saturday night game...

also I need to get the grey and williams td's on youtube.. they were sweet.

Don't worry....you'll get homefield throughout the playoffs. Is it so bad for us to make requests?

based upon the quotes you gave - did you expect me to dig deeper in order to reply? and if so, why?

[HI54UNI]

UNI intercepts, again.

[argh!]

by the way, i think that the griz should be able to win no matter where they play - in fact, when considering the opposition, they seem to play better on the road than at home.

I wonder what SUU's dumbazz coach thinks about UNI and the Gateway, now???

[newsbreaker]

As an aside, this was the 200th UNI home game in the UNI-Dome, bringing the record to an almost obscene 159-40-1, for a .795 home winning percentage.

The road the Chattanooga run through the UNI-Dome!

[JayJ79]

Another sellout in the Dome. If SUU keeps in close they will have to deal with the noise.

Wasn't quite a sellout, at least according to the official attendance.

Kind of disappointing in that regard, but 15724 isn't TOO bad, considering the students are on break.

For the Hartzell doubters, and those who might find him a "crybaby", remember--he's seen the ins and outs of this for some time--he was AD at Bucknell before he was here. It's not like he fell off the turnip truck yesterday...

[JayJ79]

I'd be surprised if most (or at least many) AD's from playoff schools gave such input to the selection committee. Just kind of a "these are our thoughts on the matters" kind of thing. Doesn't mean that the committee is necessarily going to listen to them.
