[ysubigred]

WOW!! With the A10 going up in flames today. The GFC could possibly get 3 in the dance :confused: ISU, UNI, and WKU all could be on life support.

I like the sound of a Tri GFC championship with a win by UNI by I would rather be a sure bet to go to the playoff's with a SIU win.

Go Dawgsssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!

You are right, he gets pumped! Great announcer!
He is incredible to listen to. I was getting shivers when he called that TD.

First down to the 32 yard line with 1:57 left. Plenty of time for SIU.

[blur2005]

[blur2005]

Whitlock stopped short on the catch!!!! UNI will win the Gateway.

[godawgs]

Congrats to UNI,

SIU is haunted by the dome yet again.

[Lehigh Lover]

Goodbye Coastal!!!

[blur2005]

You know, after last year's magical run for my Dukes, this UNI team seems eerily similar in the way they pull out close games in incredibly thrilling fashion.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Goodbye Coastal!!!

Yep i think this might be the nail in Coastal's coffin. They better be huge William & Mary and Hofstra fans next week otherwise they're done IMO.

[rokamortis]

Goodbye Coastal!!!

I think we are still in good shape.

[Hansel]

NDSU should have some fans rooting for us to knock SIU out of the playoffs next week :nod:

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

I think we are still in good shape.

Based on what? You're competing with Furman, GSU, SIU, Richmond, Cal Poly, Texas State, Umass, and YSU for an atlarge. I don't see anyway Coastal gets in over those teams.

We both have opinions - still another week of football. We'll see.

[siugrad99]

Congrats to UNI, once again we can't hold a lead in the Dome. Credit to your team scoring 15 in the 4th. Here's hoping SIU can respond against a tough NDSU team next week. :(

[skinny_uncle]

Ouch.
Heckuva game.
.
Sanders worried me more than that Dome. He came up big when he had to.
Congrats Panthers.

Dawgs have to win next week now.
Good night all.
Got a date with a bottle.
:beerchug:

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Congrats to N. Iowa!! Must be nice to have your ticket punched with a week left. You are a very very dangerous team right now and will probably have atleast 1 playoff game in the dome if you take care of NAU next week.

[godawgs]

Skinny, how bad was Braden Jones' fumble? Pretty much the turning point.

[skinny_uncle]

Wasn't really a fumble. It looked like the ball was not only down, it may have been out of bounds. Officials are only human though. Can't blame the game on just one call. The Salukis had their chances to put the game away. Sanders just played big at the end.
(This game sure had the feel of a playoff game).

[godawgs]

Well, now SIU HAS to beat NDSU next week in Carbondale to get in playoffs. :mad:

[skinny_uncle]

Nothing wrong with that. Got to earn it on the field.
NDSU is winning tonight, heading for their seventh win.

[godawgs]

Nothing wrong with that. Got to earn it on the field.

Very true, has to be a tough loss for the team though. I hope Coach Kill is ok after this one...

Kill will be alright. He still has work to do.

Agreed, the fumble they gave us probably wasn't. The one before probably was. Make up call?!? That was the only turnover of the game if I recall, and it was the game changer. SIU scores there it's over. Good luck to SIU next week, take care of business and we'll see ya in Chattanooga!!!

[blukeys]

Regardless it was a great game and I was glad to be able to listen to the 4th quarter. I am always amazed to hear the I-A apologists explain how great it is that the regular season has real consequences under the BCS format. Well this is one game that has huge consequences and everyone knew it.

[godawgs]

Give UNI credit, their defense held when it needed to. They also kept the Salukis under 30 for the first time this year.

How does NDSU match up against SIU?

[igo4uni]

I just got back from the UNI-Dome. I am so hoarse that I can hardly talk. The crowd was amazing. SIU had to burn several timeouts because of the noise. What a great game!!!!!!!

Plus, I got to meet Ralph, DIB, Reed, and JC!!!!!!!!!

more later.

peace

Watching replays on TV, it was apparent that neither fumble ever happened. The ground cannot cause a fumble and the ball was down both times before it got away. It doesn't matter anyhow, the officials (ahem) are always right. This ain't the NFL. We don't have challenges. Don't get me wrong. I'm not blaming the loss on the bad call. The roughing the kicker call late in the first half probably should have been a 5 yard penalty instead of a 15 that gave the Dawgs a first down. At least it did not look that flagrant to me. There were at least a couple of other questionable calls in the game. That is the breaks. You have to deal with it and go on. We lost this game. Time to get ready for next week.

My pain medicine has waited long enough.
Good night all.

[newsbreaker]

Just walked in from the dome. I've never heard the place that loud, it was absolutely unbelievable in the first quarter, and the last two defensive stands the pace was absolutely deafening.

Great win for the Cats! Gateway Conference Champions for the 12th time!

Dome Magic Baby!

More like Sanders magic. He is a gamer.

[skinny_uncle]

How does NDSU match up against SIU?
465 yards and only 24 points. Amazing. Never would have thought it could happen.
NDSU appears to have a stingy D. Don't know a lot more about them yet, but intend to learn this week.

[Chi Panther]

Great game by both teams.....amazing......

Sanders is the real deal.....never would have lost to MSU with him at the helm.......ISU would have been another story......ISU would have won that game regardless......


Don't want to toot the horn...but IF UNI can beat NAU next week......I like the home field advantage we MIGHT received......

[ISUMatt]

We beat the GFC champs by 35!!! LOL Just kidding UNI, Congrats on the GFC title, and Congrats to you also SIU, get your **** back together and get eligible next weekend vs NDSU!!!

[crunifan]

I really have to give credit to Southern Illinois. You guys played a great game and you had a great crowd show up that was loud for the Salukis. Hope to see you in the play offs.

On another note, I still can't get over how loud the dome was. I mean was screaming to my buddies right next to me and they still had no idea what I said. My what a metal roof does to a loud bunch of 15,500 fans! :D
