Thank goodness for radio!

[B&G]

Bonds and Michigan have this in common: THE BIG HOUSE!!!:D :p

Nice one. :D

[caribbeanhen]

ok ASU fans...do the spiders have any chance to slow down monti

[ERASU2113]

Before you try to argue how lucky you guys could be if we both get there look at last week against EWU. One of the best passing offenses in I-AA averaging over 300 yds per game.

Against ASU....Nichols had 185 yards in one game. Receivers couldn't get open. His best plays came at the end against the 2nd string D

[igo4uni]

And Edwards has more yards than either of us!:p

I couldn't even walk 200 yards without an IV infusion of beer!!

[caribbeanhen]

nice hit on rodgers

[alexale23]

UR NEEDS TDS AND TOS

[FCSFAN]

App has a special team standout!

[lizrdgizrd]

[FCSFAN]

ASU leads UR 35-28 11:57 3Q

[GoldandBlack]

The closer the score, the less likely they are to mention Michigan or Bonds, at least- they might actually talk about the game.

[lizrdgizrd]

sick day??

None left and I have to save my vacation for next year when LizJr2 is born. :o

[Dblue]

Almost 4 minutes into the second half and no mention. Who woulda thunk it?!?

[SunCoastBlueHen]

App. State is selling out to defend the run. Richmond has had guys wide open all night.

Now, If Richmond can figure out a way to slow down Edwards, we'll have a game. :)

[93henfan]

Well, at least the game is interesting again.

[Griz40]

I have to say...and this is no smack intended...that was a nice drive by Richmond

[The Older Gentleman]

We gots ourselves a game boys.

[caribbeanhen]

Are you watching the same game.....xlolx

[ButlerGSU]

Oh man, Richmond gets it back

[GoldandBlack]

This is not a team you can make mistakes against, as we learned last week.

[Aho_Old_Guy]

Ouch. Nice strip!

[igo4uni]

wow.

[caribbeanhen]

JMU DADDY - you didnt go to bed did ya?

[FCS Preview]

[caribbeanhen]

[LehighFan11]

That is the way to start the 3rd quarter...

[FCS Preview]

35-35
9:02 remaining in 3rd Q

[93henfan]

The Spiders are still crawling! Go URich!!!

[FCSFAN]

Game tied at 35 9:02 3Q

[lizrdgizrd]

Richmond definitely making the most of their short fields. xnodx

[VT Wildcat Fan53]

Oh, Oh..... App St looks mysteriously a lot like UNH. Undersized DL whose lack of achievement puts too much pressure on LBs and DB's. They sure get it done differently at QB (Pass vs great runner), but a lot of similarities in the spread offense, too. Here come the Spidahs...

[GSU Eagle]

Just tuned in and we have a game gentlemen

[GannonFan]

You can't sleep on Richmond, especially when your defense isn't much more than average. UD found that out a few weeks ago, Appy St is finding out tonight. They don't get upset over giving up tons of points.

[MR. CHICKEN]

WHO'S YER PAPPY..APPY??.................BRAWK!

[UDChE89]

Damn, this is turning into a good game...

Also didn't realize Clawson and I are the same age..

[FCS Preview]

App State finally gets the ball in the 2nd half

[LehighFan11]

Ah Lehigh plug haha

[Nebuta]

Clawson going to get some phone calls soon.

[Dblue]

9

[lizrdgizrd]

You can't sleep on Richmond, especially when your defense isn't much more than average. UD found that out a few weeks ago, Appy St is finding out tonight. They don't get upset over giving up tons of points.
Of course, we don't mind giving up points either. We're used to it now. xlolx

[caribbeanhen]

ASU fans have all dropped off the boards

[MR. CHICKEN]

WHO'S YER PAPPY.........APPY??................BRAWK!

[Griz40]

I missed the first half but Richmond is looking good right now

[Purple For Life]

Man, this is getting good!

[Dblue]

9 was a coaching vacancy.........

[FCS Preview]

what a run for Edwards

[GoldandBlack]

Can the D stop Armanti?

[GannonFan]

Of course, we don't mind giving up points either. We're used to it now. xlolx

Agreed - that adage of defense wins championships doesn't mean anything this year - it's all about the offenses.

[lizrdgizrd]

Go Armanti!

[caribbeanhen]

richmond d still looks stuck in the mud

[GSU Eagle]

Edwards is hard to corral. That run by Edwards was a huge, huge play

[thirdgendin]

AP's record is looking in jeopardy tonight with this being such a close game.

[lizrdgizrd]

ASU fans have all dropped off the boards
Yeah, we're all gone. xrolleyesx

[GoldandBlack]

Can the D stop Armanti?

If not, then maybe penalties can................:(

[LehighFan11]

Wow did App need that 3rd and 9 converstion

[igo4uni]

Man, this is getting good!

gotta love it.

[lizrdgizrd]

AP's record is looking in jeopardy tonight with this being such a close game.
Did you miss those last two games? xconfusedx

[tralfangar]

ASU fans have all dropped off the boards

Weren't that many of us to begin with....

[AlphaSigMD]

Nah, its just more CAA people showed up

[bobbythekidd]

AP's record is looking in jeopardy tonight with this being such a close game.
Your right, How many does AE have on the ground?

[AlphaSigMD]

This is nuts, i but I suppose a turnover, and a turnover on downs will do that too you. We are looking better now though

[FCS Preview]

1st and 20
Edwards showing great mobility
huge pickup!

[igo4uni]

nice play.

[lizrdgizrd]

Nice! Scramble, scramble, scramble - throw the 1st down!

[FCS Preview]

first and goal for app state

[thirdgendin]

Your right, How many does AE have on the ground?

[FCS Preview]

edit: was 2nd down...3rd down now

[caribbeanhen]

Nah, its just more CAA people showed up

now they show up, they didnt have my back earlier though

[Aho_Old_Guy]

ASU fans have all dropped off the boards

Not me. Had to throw some more wood on the fire to keep the mash cookin' . . .

[bobbythekidd]

Nevermind. He has 253 yards rushing.

[FCS Preview]

Now THIS is playoff football!xthumbsupx

[FCSFAN]

ASU leads UR 42-35 4:41 3Q

[bodoyle]

man no d for either team all game.

nice comeback by richmond so far

[FCS Preview]

42-35, 4:41 TO GO IN 3RD

[AlphaSigMD]

Thats what I'm talking about...ASU, ASU!

[GannonFan]

You don't need defense with offense like these.

[Purple For Life]

What a game! I only wish I could see it. xbawlingx

[AlphaSigMD]

Lets see if ASU can get a big stop on D with a Long field.

[ButlerGSU]

Nice drive by App

[lizrdgizrd]

First one to 70 wins!

[igo4uni]

final score 77-75...............pick the winner.

[bobbythekidd]

Nevermind. He has 253 yards rushing.
80 more yards and we have a new playoff rushing record by a single player.xeekx

[caribbeanhen]

ASU keeps kickin the ball to Rodgers - it's time for him to take it home

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

I'm still here Carribean Hen....lol...

Last team with the ball wins....

[Aho_Old_Guy]

Rut Ro. Time for an ASU kick off . . .

[AlphaSigMD]

I don't see them talking to Tim Tebow right now though...

[thirdgendin]

80 more yards and we have a new playoff rushing record by a single player.xeekx

Gametracker has him with 24-257 and 4 TDs.

[Peems]

This just confirms my theory! Who needs Defense??!?!?!?!

[lizrdgizrd]

Nice coverage on the kickoff!

[Cranium716]

Wow, so this one's an offensive struggle huh? xlolx xlolx xlolx

[LehighFan11]

heres colt's interview...no one cares

[Peems]

xlolx they are talking to Colt Brennan. DuckDuck you called it

[AlphaSigMD]

Oh, crap....Colt Brennan

[B&G]

Swell... a Colt Brennan interview.

[AlphaSigMD]

No one cares....

[igo4uni]

Oh, crap....Colt Brennan

ARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH

[lizrdgizrd]

Wow, so this one's an offensive struggle huh? xlolx xlolx xlolx

Not alot of struggle for the offenses. xlolx

[caribbeanhen]

heres colt's interview...no one cares

you mean some actually have the ESPN Sound on

[AlphaSigMD]

ESPN sure is being at Douche bag about this interview...

[Peems]

Uh Oh for Richmond

[igo4uni]

punt time.

[caribbeanhen]

3 and out for R

[AlphaSigMD]

watch for the fake punt!
watch for the fake punt!

[lizrdgizrd]

The commentator in the brown coat looks like he just bought it today and got the wrong size. xlolx

[ButlerGSU]

hmmm.... I-A discussion during the I-AA playoffs....

[bobbythekidd]

UUUUHHHGGGGG! Who cares about Hawaii?

[GannonFan]

Gee, barring a turnover for Appy St, that could be the ballgame. xlolx

[igo4uni]

you mean some actually have the ESPN Sound on

sad but true.

[B&G]

These Heisman interviews are really disrespectful to the players on the field. Why do I need to look at the announcer asking the question instead of the game?

[Aho_Old_Guy]

Wow. 3 and out. WTG ASU Defense!

[caribbeanhen]

need a turnover

[VT Wildcat Fan53]

Here comes App state with a GREAT QB in control,..... Final prediction: 63-58 ;-0

[GoldandBlack]

These Heisman interviews are really disrespectful to the players on the field. Why do I need to look at the announcer asking the question instead of the game?

http://images.wikia.com/openserving/sports/images/3/31/ESPN_Sucks.jpg

[lizrdgizrd]

Now they're trying to pretend they give a crap about playoffs.

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

This is crap hearing these interviews..........focus on the game at hand...douche bags..

[Griswold]

Great catch!xnodx

[GoldandBlack]

This is crap hearing these interviews..........focus on the game at hand...douche bags..

Volume now on "Mute".

[bobbythekidd]

hmmm.... I-A discussion during the I-AA playoffs....
Post it on TSC. You know it does not belong here. Notice how they talk about a playoff system....

[igo4uni]

need a turnover

nah..........lots of time left.

[LehighFan11]

We want to hear the game...NOT COLT BRENNAN

[lizrdgizrd]

They actually have something to talk about in the game they're working and they keep talking to mr. irrelevant.

[FCSFAN]

uh, announcers, we have a game going on!

[igo4uni]

RU defense looks good now.

[FCS Preview]

HEY I didn't know the Heisman trophy was this weekend. I wish they'd talk about that more...

[AlphaSigMD]

Looked like somebody was trying to jim sorgi Armanti edwards there after that play...what was that?

[igo4uni]

uh, announcers, we have a game going on!

yes.

[lizrdgizrd]

TALK ABOUT THIS ******** GAME!

[AlphaSigMD]

he obviously didn't like it either...

[HensRock]

uh, announcers, we have a game going on!

If you want a Heisman show, have a Heisman show.
Let's get back to the gaem!

[Purple For Life]

I've got the Monkees on. :p

[LehighFan11]

you mean some actually have the ESPN Sound on

haha very true

[igo4uni]

Hawaii sux.

[Old Cage]

I just e-mailed ESPN about the interviews. Lot of good it will do.

[LehighFan11]

So when is McFadden's interview?

[Obzerver]

Boxers or Briefs, Colt?

[Griz40]

I just e-mailed ESPN about the interviews. Lot of good it will do.

It probably won't...same BS happened last year during the semi's too.

[caribbeanhen]

Hatcher with the hit on the bug

[lizrdgizrd]

These losers don't even care that there's a game going on. xnonono2x

[igo4uni]

punt time.

[caribbeanhen]

So when is McFadden's interview?

during the hens game

[GannonFan]

Finally a tackle by UR's secondary - I didn't realize they were playing today.

[HensRock]

I've heard of fans complaining that the referees are missing a good game - but never the announcers! Holy crap!

[igo4uni]

These losers don't even care that there's a game going on. xnonono2x

sad

[ButlerGSU]

I just e-mailed ESPN about the interviews. Lot of good it will do.

Yeah, it won't do any good. This game is on TV because ESPN couldn't find any other FBS game to show - hence nothing but FBS talk with our game being filler in between. Nothing will ever change this.

[FCS Preview]

This is as bad as a FOX WS game when they show all the stars in the stands...

[LehighFan11]

during the hens game

Yea and Les Miles will be on talking about how he isn't taking the Michigan job

[lizrdgizrd]

And now they're busy talking about baseball. HACKS

[Aho_Old_Guy]

When Billy Hatcher chomps on that gum his temples flare out :)

[93henfan]

What's with all this punting all of a sudden?

[FCS Preview]

42-35 App State, End of 3rd

[AshevilleApp]

Listening via goasu.com......sounds like its a better call than ESPN2 although obviously biased

[FCSFAN]

ASU leads UR 42-35 end of 3Q

[The Older Gentleman]

I've heard of fans complaining that the referees are missing a good game - but never the announcers! Holy crap!

No sheit it's getting rediculous. Hate to say it but, thank goodness for a commercial.:o

[ButlerGSU]

If Richmond can find a Defense this could be a good game.

[LehighFan11]

Listening via goasu.com......sounds like its a better call than ESPN2 although obviously biased

It's a much better bias though, ESPN is biased against the FCS

[lizrdgizrd]

No sheit it's getting rediculous. Hate to say it but, thank goodness for a commercial.:o
They were doing fine until the big App lead. One of the producers must have decided the game was over and scrambled to get some other content. Now that it's a game again they need to scrap that crap.

[AlphaSigMD]

Hopefully the 4th quarter will be not interrupted by coverage of the women's field hockey game from an FBS school...

[The Older Gentleman]

When Billy Hatcher chomps on that gum his temples flare out :)

Looks like Louis Gossett Jr in Enemy Mine.

Now, back to the game.

[lizrdgizrd]

If Richmond can find a Defense this could be a good game.

Could be? Looks like a good game to me. xrotatehx

[igo4uni]

Hopefully the 4th quarter will be not interrupted by coverage of the women's field hockey game from an FBS school...

Let's hope so.

[AlphaSigMD]

If Richmond can find a Defense this could be a good game.

Haven't you been watching...its been a pretty good game already.

[bobbythekidd]

Yeah, it won't do any good. This game is on TV because ESPN couldn't find any other FBS game to show - hence nothing but FBS talk with our game being filler in between. Nothing will ever change this.
OUR game? Are you a player or a coach? Sorry, you meant you were a fan.xrolleyesx

I never realized you were doucebag until tonight. Good to know you know what to say and where to say it.

[B&G]

Is this is a football game or a late night talk show?

"Let's welcome our next guest, the star of the recently released movie "Enchanted", let's have a warm welcome for the lovely and talented Susan Sarandon! And stay tuned as we'll have some great Christmas recipes with Rachel Ray later in the show."

[FCS Preview]

almost intercepted!

[igo4uni]

punt time.

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

INT there would have been crucial.....

[igo4uni]

Here we go.

[TheValleyRaider]

Missed out on quarters 1-3 with a Department Christmas party. Fun and all, but it appears I've been missing a heck of a game

[Griswold]

Defense!xhurrayx

[lizrdgizrd]

Vaughn with nice special teams play for Richmond.

[ButlerGSU]

OUR game? Are you a player or a coach? Sorry, you meant you were a fan.xrolleyesx

I never realized you were doucebag until tonight. Good to know you know what to say and where to say it.

Easy killer, this is a I-AA board - hence the usage of 'our' game. Also the game we are all discussing here.

[LehighFan11]

Eww all these punts

[igo4uni]

RU defense sux.

[TheValleyRaider]

What a push by Edwards on the defender there

[lizrdgizrd]

Wow! Armanti 5 yards after getting stopped!

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

Holy Shi*....carried 3 spiders

[caribbeanhen]

thats sick

[Griswold]

Wow what a push for 4 extra yards!

[igo4uni]

3rd and inches.

[lizrdgizrd]

KRich with 11 yards!

[igo4uni]

first down.

[bobbythekidd]

Easy killer, this is a I-AA board - hence the usage of 'our' game. Also the game we are all discussing here.
You have yet to discuss it, only dis it. Go back and quote yourself where you said ANYTHING good about it, I mean anything. I'll be right here, rooting on a rival.xwhistlex

[Aho_Old_Guy]

Armanti must squat like a brazillion pounds . . .

[lizrdgizrd]

Wow. Almost intercepted on a bobble.

[igo4uni]

RU needs a stop here.

[FCS Preview]

3rd and 7...

edwards COMPLETE INSIDE THE UR 30!

[lizrdgizrd]

Great reception by #12!
