That is one DISTINGUISHED group! I can't help but be impressed by how many valuable contributors on both of those teams are from Our Subdivision. I wonder if we'll end up with any Phil Simms-type legendary performances out of one of the them. (Shameless Morehead plug there, forgive me.)

Nothing wrong with any plug that involves the great Phil Simms xthumbsupx

Brandon seems to be a very popular name, huh?

Good luck to both teams (go Giants!!) and especially to our esteemed FCS brethren. xthumbsupx

You know, the final result of this Super Bowl very well could come down to which of these former I-AA men has the bigger night:

Brandon Jacobs or Randy Moss.

do practice squad guys get rings too or what?...how does that work? Cause I know redshirts get one whenever a team wins conference or a national title...

[schmofstra]

I think the practice squad does get rings. A lot of people get rings nowadays. Some of it is a vote of the players, I think.
