GAME THREAD: JMU vs Montana

[Reign of Terrier]

Watching JMU's offense is like watching a Single or Double A HS team. It's amazing how productive this style of "O" can be at this level.

You'd be surprised at what Wofford does.

[DuckDuckGriz]

Is there a way we can paralyze Landers from waste down just for 2 hours or so.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

You'd be surprised at what Wofford does.

I've seen them play. Not quite like this...

[bobbythekidd]

Do all CAA teams run that no huddle crap where they line up get one play call, then look like they are set then look to the sideline for a possible audible? I mean Maine, New Hampshire, and Delaware last year all did this, and now I see JMU does this too.
Get used to it. It is the present and future of college football.

[JMU DJ]

1st and goal. Lets Go DUKES!

[Hoyadestroya85]

what a load

[DuckDuckGriz]

what a load

that's what she said

[gbhmt]

Is there a way we can paralyze Landers from waste down just for 2 hours or so.

We'll give him a few reps when the game's ending.

[Reign of Terrier]

1st and goal. Lets Go DUKES!

I knew that they were going for that play "Landers up the Middle'

[JMU DJ]

TOUCHDOWN J-M-U DUUUUUUUUUUUUKES!!!

[Hoyadestroya85]

TOUCHDOWN DOOKS!

[appstate38]

Time for the streamers

[DuckDuckGriz]

Ahhhh streamers are so lame!!!

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

TD Dukes!! If i was Montana i would be worried about time of possesion....

[Reign of Terrier]

D*mn streamersxnonono2x xnonono2x xnonono2x

[asknoquarter21]

Do they sincerely think streamers are cool????

I don't get it?

throwing a purple streamer in the air wouldn't make me feel good........

[T-Dog]

Ahhhh streamers are so lame!!!

Indeed.

[Hoyadestroya85]

Is there a way we can paralyze Landers from waste down just for 2 hours or so.

He'd beat you in a wheelchair

[appstate38]

Very physical game so far

[bobbythekidd]

What is everyones issue with the streamers?

[JMU DJ]

That's the point... you focus on the streamers and not the game... get over it.

[DuckDuckGriz]

TD Dukes!! If i was Montana i would be worried about time of possesion....

Yup. Gonna need more TOs in this one and our O-line to keep it going

[gbhmt]

TD Dukes!! If i was Montana i would be worried about time of possesion....

Hard to win that game when your possessions start on the 39 and 15.

[jonmac]

TD Dukes!! If i was Montana i would be worried about time of possesion....

No need to worry yet, as long as the keep putting points up when they get the ball. First team to make a defensive stop gets the advantage. So far Montana has it because of the turnover. Still a long way to go.

[appstate38]

Do they sincerely think streamers are cool????

I don't get it?

throwing a purple streamer in the air wouldn't make me feel good........

Could be worse.... They could be "Cleveland steamers"

[caribbeanhen]

14-10 Griz..wake me up with a minute left...

[Reign of Terrier]

I wonder how the Griz fans and Duke fans are coexisting, I mean with the Griz fans being so nice and so close to the student section, and the JMU students being well..you get the picture.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Hard to win that game when your possessions start on the 39 and 15.

And when you give up two drives that last basically a quarter....

[Hoyadestroya85]

Look at the fat kicker.. haha

[DuckDuckGriz]

Frank the Tank kicking off

[DuckDuckGriz]

Holy ***** talk about avoiding a sack!

[appstate38]

Man Berequist has a cannon

[strike00]

nice throw

[bobbythekidd]

Awesome PASS!

[Hoyadestroya85]

JMU needs to stop giving up the big play..

[JMU DJ]

I wonder how the Griz fans and Duke fans are coexisting, I mean with the Griz fans being so nice and so close to the student section, and the JMU students being well..you get the picture.

I don't think our fans know what to do with kindness... usually visiting fans yell back stuff or initiate it.... Monty fans are just... to... good... Argh


Nice pass to Marinara

[caribbeanhen]

how long are they going to keep saying formerly know as 1 aa

[uofmman1122]

Nice pass, Cole!

[DuckDuckGriz]

Did the camera man really bite on that fake

[jonmac]

Look at the fat kicker.. haha

A la Janikowski.

[T-Dog]

I don't think our fans know what to do with kindness... usually visiting fans yell back stuff or initiate it.... Monty fans are just... to... good... Argh


Nice pass to Marinara

Hey I was nice and I got a streamer ball to the side of the head.

[Hoyadestroya85]

I honestly think we should get rid of the FCS name..

[19Duke97]

We're getting killed up front....

[DuckDuckGriz]

Pull that in Ferriter. Damn!

[DuckDuckGriz]

I honestly think we should get rid of the FCS name..

I totally agree. Sounds made up almost.

[JMU DJ]

Hey I was nice and I got a streamer ball to the side of the head.

Some of our fans are... well lets say Eagles fans :D

[JMU DJ]

SACK

[DuckDuckGriz]

Just glad Cole didn't try to force it on that sack.

[19Duke97]

woo hoo

[smegriz]

Arg.

[uofmman1122]

Come on, guys....

[bobbythekidd]

We're getting killed up front....
Montana's O line has been dominate tonight but JMU is making up for it when they have the ball.

[LehighFan11]

Ugly

[JMU DJ]

NO GOOD! JMU ball

[T-Dog]

Montana missed Carpenter.

[DuckDuckGriz]

We have had kicking problems all year.

[th0m]

FINALLY

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Now Montana's D has to get back on the field..

[Hoyadestroya85]

Moats is a monster.. he made Chris Whitney his B*tch last week

[Cleets]

Those JMU cheerleaders are the ugliest women I've ever seen... xeekx

[caribbeanhen]

is Landers going to throw a pass in this game

[Hoyadestroya85]

I totally agree. Sounds made up almost.

Don't let Syntax Error hear that..

[Hoyadestroya85]

Jeff Fisher is Clazy

[NC Aggie]

Man, that wasn't Cal Poly's kicker incognito was it?

[Reign of Terrier]

I didn't know Fisher was a Griz

[Hoyadestroya85]

Rodney Landers doing his best Franco Harris impression

[appstate38]

Like the Griz more since Jeff Fisher's kid plays for the Griz.

[DuckDuckGriz]

I didn't know Fisher was a Griz

Yeah well ESPN will make sure you know three or four times.

[LehighFan11]

JEFF FISHER! My man!

[Hansel]

Jeff Fisher cam is gettin old

[appstate38]

Those JMU cheerleaders are the ugliest women I've ever seen... xeekx

Griz cheerleaders seem cute.... I think

[JMU DJ]

Poll: How many times ESPN pans to Jeff Fisher Now
1-10
10-20
20-30
They will just show a steady cam of Jeff and commentate over it

[uofmman1122]

Jesus!

We've got him in the backfield on almost half of these plays!

We haven't tackled this bad in a long time.

[caribbeanhen]

finally a pass after 18 strait runs..keep running

[Mountain Panther]

The coach of the Titan's son plays for Montana? What position?

[T-Dog]

Did they say "Winner go home?"

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Jesus!

We've got him in the backfield on almost half of these plays!

We haven't tackled this bad in a long time.

It's not your tackling. Landers does this to everyone....

[th0m]

finally a pass after 18 strait runs..keep running

Ask and ye shall receive ;)

[bobbythekidd]

Did they say "Winner go home?"
Win or go home.

[Reign of Terrier]

Did they say "Winner go home?"

Win or go home. (dungeon Joe thought the same thing)

[HiHiYikas]

Did they say "Winner go home?"
Win or go home

[JMU DJ]

WOOOO!!! We completed a pass!!!

[Hoyadestroya85]

Rodney Landers makes people look stupid

[appstate38]

Hey Griz D... How about a run blitz

[JMU DJ]

Oh no... colt

[Hoyadestroya85]

If you key on Landers.. Holloman or Yancey make you pay

[Reign of Terrier]

Injuries killing Montana

[DuckDuckGriz]

NO!!!!!

Honestly every time my room mate has walked in something bad has happened. I am telling him to get the ***** out.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Montana's D is taking a pounding.

[uofmman1122]

Crap...

That sucks.

[Hoyadestroya85]

JMU is dominating the clock

[gbhmt]

Hey Griz D... How about a run blitz

We've tried that before. It doesn't work.

[th0m]

Uh oh. Let's hope Anderson's OK.

[Hoyadestroya85]

Another whiffed tackle..

[caribbeanhen]

If you key on Landers.. Holloman or Yancey make you pay


KC Keeler knows all about that

[MTBison]

Injuries killing Montana

I hope Colt is able to return.

[uofmman1122]

Woot, he's walking just fine.

[MTBison]

Nice Stick!!!

[19Duke97]

That sux, don't like to see guys get hurt

[T-Dog]

Landers fumble, Griz ball

[JMU DJ]

Turnovers are killing us

[gbhmt]

FUMBLE!!!

[DuckDuckGriz]

Ok ok here we go. Let's do something with this.

[LehighFan11]

FUMBLE

[Reign of Terrier]

Fumble! Griz Ball!!!

[Skjellyfetti]

THE FUMBLIN' DUKES ARE BACK!!!!

[smegriz]

Woooo!

[CrackerRiley]

fuuuummmmmble

[uofmman1122]

YES YES YES!!!!

[Screamin_Eagle174]

FUMBLE!!!!


WOOOOOOH!

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Wow huge break for the Griz. A little strip try but that shouldn't cause Landers to lose the ball...

[appstate38]

IF JMU gets to 7 TO's call me.

[gbhmt]

Now let's get a four minute TD drive.

[19Duke97]

IF JMU gets to 7 TO's call me.

God I hope not...

[T-Dog]

THE FUMBLIN' DUKES ARE BACK!!!!

Good memories. :D

[bobbythekidd]

I hope Colt is able to return.
Me too. Welcome to AGS FNG!!

[th0m]

%$#^%$

[Cleets]

Whatever they decide to do on the TV breaks...
DO NOT show those freakishly ugly cheerleaders again..!!!!!




xeekx

[MTBison]

Lets see if the Griz can make some points on this.

[uofmman1122]

Just give it to Chase.

Seriously.

[WOCO]

Montana can't stop JMU. They better pick up some points. If JMU holds onto the ball, this is going to get ugly in the second half

[Hoyadestroya85]

Come on Hold em Dukes

[19Duke97]

Montana can't stop JMU. They better pick up some points. If JMU holds onto the ball, this is going to get ugly in the second half

We have to stop them first... their Oline is beastly...

[appstate38]

I don't believe I have seen any offenses more physical than these 2.

[T-Dog]

I'll be more than happy to warm that chick with the "I'm Cold" sign.

[Hoyadestroya85]

BIG drop

[JMU DJ]

WOOO 4th down, gotta punt at this point

[caribbeanhen]

he dropped it

[LehighFan11]

Great drop

[gbhmt]

Oh god that was so bad.

[Reign of Terrier]

third drop by the tight end....butter fingers

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Now the Griz D go right back out there.

[hapapp]

I believe JMU pulls away in the 2nd half. Of course, they can't continue to turn the ball over. JMU is the more talented team. Landers will wear them down.

This JMU drive will be telling. If the Griz can stop them here and get the ball to start the 2nd half and score then it could be a game. Otherwise, I think JMU survives the turnovers and goes on to win.

Then again, if JMU loses Landers...

I guess I have entered enough qualifers in this post.

[uofmman1122]

Crap crap crap crap crap.

[appstate38]

JMU dodges a bullet

[Hoyadestroya85]

I say pass it a couple times.. try to get rodney into a rhythm

[Reign of Terrier]

I believe JMU pulls away in the 2nd half. Of course, they can't continue to turn the ball over. JMU is the more talented team. Landers will wear them down.

I wouldn't say that, it's more of a thunder vs lightning kind of game

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

I'm impressed with the Griz's sideline to sideline pursuit

[T-Dog]

Uh oh.

[Hoyadestroya85]

Rodney's Hurt!

[19Duke97]

OH NOOOOO!

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

WOW!! xeekx

[Hoyadestroya85]

Oh No

[uofmman1122]

Uh oh...

[T-Dog]

RODNEY'S HURT, EVERYONE PANIC! EXCLAMATION POINTS! LOUD NOISES!

[HiHiYikas]

Nothing worse than a bunch of TO's and a gimpy QB.

[Hoyadestroya85]

Let's see what you got Dudzik

[appstate38]

All the air just got sucked out of the stadium

[smegriz]

Jeez, people getting hurt all over the place, both sides.

[caribbeanhen]

he will be ok

[bobbythekidd]

Miniscus tear for Landers

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

He seems aight. Wasn't limping too bad...

[asknoquarter21]

Ask App....

its tough when your QB isn't healthy

[appstate38]

Nothing worse than a bunch of TO's and a gimpy QB.

Hmmm heard that someplace before

[JMU DJ]

Let's see what you got Dudzik

Stumblin Bumblin 1st down

[LehighFan11]

Whooooops

[JMU DJ]

Ask App....

its tough when your QB isn't healthy

It's ok, we have a good back up

[gbhmt]

Not bad sport.

[WOCO]

i take back what i said

[19Duke97]

RODNEY'S HURT, EVERYONE PANIC! EXCLAMATION POINTS! LOUD NOISES!

don't be an ass

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

They've gone from Tommy Frazier to Tim Tebow...

[bobbythekidd]

Miniscus tear for Landers
They are taping the ankle. I am glad I was wrong.

[CrackerRiley]

How many times is this camera man going to bite on these fakes?

[WOCO]

that was close to a pick

[Hoyadestroya85]

Why don't they throw it.. there is very little time left.. you need a TD

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

This is some horrible clock management by JMU.

[T-Dog]

JMU INT.

[gbhmt]

WHAT A PICK!!!

[Hoyadestroya85]

Wow.. Turnovers..

[HiHiYikas]

3 TO's

[Reign of Terrier]

Interception!!!

[WOCO]

uh ohh pick

[CrackerRiley]

Why don't they throw it.. there is very little time left.. you need a TD
that's why...

[asknoquarter21]

Why don't they throw it.. there is very little time left.. you need a TD

happy???

[19Duke97]

where's the flag for god's sake????

[LehighFan11]

Whoops no good on the backup. Everything is going montana's way.

[th0m]

All....bets...are...off xeekx

[hapapp]

Is this ASU-UR?

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

JMU has 3 TO's. The odds of them winning at this point are slim based on that alone....

[uofmman1122]

Uh oh..... lol

[bobbythekidd]

UM interception.

[Reign of Terrier]

where's the flag for god's sake????

looked clean to me

[gbhmt]

Why don't they throw it.. there is very little time left.. you need a TD

That's why they don't throw it. Because they can't get open.

[WOCO]

if jmu looses, are they still the greatest team ever?

[appstate38]

3 TO's.... and counting.xchinscratchx

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

The QB looked like he was hit as soon as he released the ball......

[JMU DJ]

Not what I wanted to see out of the 1st half... hopefully Rodney is ok. I can deal with only being down 4

[UMStudent]

Landers will be back no doubt, he just suffered the same ankle twist as some of the Griz D-players

[asknoquarter21]

Is this ASU-UR?

no kidding

TOs and an unhealthy QB

[Cleets]

JMU without Landers = A totally different team




xeyebrowx

[19Duke97]

looked clean to me

not the pick - play before, pick was clean

[LehighFan11]

Looks like Landers will be back but as Armanti how it feels to play with an injury.

[Hoyadestroya85]

if jmu looses, are they still the greatest team ever?

This team is awfully resilient

[appvette]

The first quarter's over and they've described Montana as "Blue Collar" at least 3 times.

I'm watching and heard it... I just wondered why they kept saying it.

[gbhmt]

Griz D is stepping it up. Now the offense needs to match them.

[Hoyadestroya85]

Looks like Landers will be back but as Armanti how it feels to play with an injury.

different player.. Rodney doesn't rely on his cuts as much

[Reign of Terrier]

having the ball for 20 minutes should equal a lead and points but then you factor in the turnovers....

[appstate38]

Assess the 1st half.... Discuss

[WOCO]

think they will talk about app at halftime?

[T-Dog]

Scorecard (for the announcers, not counting shills they have to do)

App references: 1
Heisman references: 0
BCS references: 0
Jeff Fisher references: 12

[Houndawg]

JMU has 3 TO's. The odds of them winning at this point are slim based on that alone....

Not really it's a 4 point game at half. JMU got off easy.

[bpcats]

This is a great game.

JMU is rolling over Montana in the running game which could pay off in the second half.

Montana is doing what Montana does best. They don't beat themselves. Landers is a great running back. JMU's offensive line is impressive.

[smegriz]

Whew, I'll take that 1st half.

[BeauFoster]

Scorecard (for the announcers, not counting shills they have to do)

App references: 1
Heisman references: 0
BCS references: 0
Jeff Fisher references: 12

Jeff Fisher has had more camera time that Hauck and Matthews combined. His camera time will only be eclipsed by the amount of time spent in the 3rd quarter talking about the Heisman.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Not really it's a 4 point game at half. JMU got off easy.

I'm just saying that a team with a -3 TO margins winning percentage has to be pretty low. Based on %'s alone Montana has the edge.

[gbhmt]

Assess the 1st half.... Discuss

Montana offense was solid to start, Chase is a force. Bad drops by receivers, Ferriter at the one, Beaudin on 3rd down to give them the ball with field position. Landers isn't being stopped, but somewhat slowed down. Every turnover was a great play by a defender, with a huge hit on the kickoff, a strip by Stadnyk, and an incredible pick. Montana has to come out and sustain some drives. Griz D will get tired soon.

[WOCO]

I'm just saying that a team with a -3 TO margins winning percentage has to be pretty low. Based on %'s alone Montana has the edge.

Montana isn't getting points off of them though

[coover]

Excellent 1st Half. Griz not at their best but still leading.

I think the winner of this game will win next week, too.

I am rooting for the Griz. Go Montana.

[Reign of Terrier]

Montana isn't getting points off of them though

7 actually, and they're stopping them aren't they.

[19Duke97]

Montana isn't getting points off of them though

They got 7 off of them, and we left most likely at least 3 or more on the field.

[maroon]

Jeff Fisher has had more camera time that Hauck and Matthews combined. His camera time will only be eclipsed by the amount of time spent in the 3rd quarter talking about the Heisman.

John Stockton's son Houston is on the team too. Not sure if he made the travel squad.

[Skjellyfetti]

Well, couldn't have asked for a better half from JMU. I wish Montana had a 7+ point lead with all the mistakes, though...

Montana's first drive after halftime will be key. If they can put together a long, physical drive I like their chances.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Montana isn't getting points off of them though

In a way they are. Those TO's were all deep in UM's territory which costed JMU points.

[JMU DJ]

Montana isn't getting points off of them though

But they are stopping JMU Drives/Point scoring opportunities. Without that first turn over there would be no 14 points. Without that third turnover the score may be 17-14 or 14-3. Boys need some stick-um on their mits

[UMStudent]

I am truly suprised at how well Cole has been throwin the ball from the the last two games but can we get the WR to catch them

[th0m]

Normally I'd say the first half is alright, but with Landers unknown...I just don't know. We'll see.

[bobbythekidd]

Montana is doing what Montana does best. JMU's offensive line is impressive.
Reading that I am not sure we are watching the same game.

[gbhmt]

I am truly suprised at how well Cole has been throwin the ball from the the last two games but can we get the WR to catch them

My thoughts exactly.

[Reign of Terrier]

Reading that I am not sure we are watching the same game.

JMU's Ol is really impressive IMO

[SunCoastBlueHen]

So far I would say both O-lines are beating the opposing D-lines. It will be a very interesting 2nd half. xthumbsupx

[Skjellyfetti]

I am truly suprised at how well Cole has been throwin the ball from the the last two games but can we get the WR to catch them

I was really impressed with his arm in the first half. xeekx The dude can zing it.

[Peems]

Ferriter used to have the surest hands, but lately...not so much

[grizbeer]

Great game by both teams so far - FCS can't ask for more!

[bobbythekidd]

JMU's Ol is really impressive IMO
I'm not sayin the linemen of JMU are not impressive, but UM's O line is much more physical.

[slostang]

Great game by both teams so far - FCS can't ask for more!

We can ask ESPN to talk about the FCS in during the half time show.xnonono2x

[GrizFanStuckInUtah]

Well, I think at a bare minimum, JMU will know they played a game. To hear some people on the boards around, you would think the Griz didn't stand a chance. It's a hell of a game so far, couldn't ask for much more.

[coover]

I'm wondering why this game is the Friday Night, ESPN2 game while UNI - Richmond is the Saturday Afternoon ESPN game. Obviously, these were the best two teams of the four.

[Peems]

We can ask ESPN to talk about the FCS in during the half time show.xnonono2x

C'Mon!!! Be a little realistic!!!

[GrizFanStuckInUtah]

I'm not sayin the linemen of JMU are not impressive, but UM's O line is much more physical.

They just need to run it run it run it :)

[th0m]

Great game by both teams so far - FCS can't ask for more!

Are you kidding me? NOT a great game for my Dukes so far at all! xsmhx

[GOKATS]

Dukes need to hang on to the F'ing football, other than that they're definitely winning the game.

[LehighFan11]

I'm wondering why this game is the Friday Night, ESPN2 game while UNI - Richmond is the Saturday Afternoon ESPN game. Obviously, these were the best two teams of the four.

Hornets vs Celtics are on ESPN

[Reign of Terrier]

I'm not sayin the linemen of JMU are not impressive, but UM's O line is much more physical.

This game is a lot like the SEC championship

Montana- Alabama (physical, defensive)
JMU-Florida (speed, beast QB)

I'm not saying Montana can't win though

[bobbythekidd]

We can ask ESPN to talk about the FCS in during the half time show.xnonono2x
We can ask, but the average sports fan wants to hear about FBS. If only there was a nation-wide FCS channel we would all be happy.

[bobbythekidd]

zackly!

[slostang]

C'Mon!!! Be a little realistic!!!

Great game and no discussion about it or the FCS during half time. Yes I expected it, but wouldn't think that most of the people watching the game would be fans of the FCS. Why not taylor the half time show to the audience?

[MTBison]

We can ask ESPN to talk about the FCS in during the half time show.xnonono2x

I agree, FCS deserves much more exposure in general.

[coover]

Hornets vs Celtics are on ESPN

Who are the Hornets and the Celtics? They play football?

[JMU DJ]

Well, I think at a bare minimum, JMU will know they played a game. To hear some people on the boards around, you would think the Griz didn't stand a chance. It's a hell of a game so far, couldn't ask for much more.


Anyone who said that is a tard and I hope they are enjoying their S#%& sandwich right now for making such ridiculous statements... it's the playoffs, everyone is playing their best and is here for a reason... Assh@!35

[UMStudent]

I was really impressed with his arm in the first half. xeekx The dude can zing it.

thats he's problem he usally throws it to high, and trust me I've seen him workout he's one strong QB he puts up around the same #'s I do (I'm a gym rat, I know I know) I'm just lovin he's accuracy tonight.

[slostang]

We can ask, but the average sports fan wants to hear about FBS. If only there was a nation-wide FCS channel we would all be happy.

The people watching this game are watching a FCS game.

I am not saying........I am just saying.

[gbhmt]

Are you kidding me? NOT a great game for my Dukes so far at all! xsmhx

We've made mistakes as well. We should have seven more with Ferriter's drop at the one (sorry but I doubt you could hold Chase from gettin one yard in four plays) and slipped up at the beginning of a drive deep in our own territory.

[HiHiYikas]

Northern Iowa's been in the semi's seven straight times? Did I hear that right from the guy on TV?

[Big Al]

I'm wondering why this game is the Friday Night, ESPN2 game while UNI - Richmond is the Saturday Afternoon ESPN game. Obviously, these were the best two teams of the four.

Because the winner gets an extra day to prep for the championship game.

[Houndawg]

Montana's O needs to have the ball for 15:00 of the last 30:00.

[19Duke97]

or after this game an extra day to heal...

[slostang]

Montana's O needs to have the ball for 15:00 of the last 30:00.

I say they just need to score more points. TOP can be misleading.

[th0m]

We've made mistakes as well. We should have seven more with Ferriter's drop at the one (sorry but I doubt you could hold Chase from gettin one yard in four plays) and slipped up at the beginning of a drive deep in our own territory.

Not nearly the same.

[Rob Iola]

Northern Iowa's been in the semi's seven straight times? Did I hear that right from the guy on TV?
Current streak? They weren't in the semis last year...

[coover]

Because the winner gets an extra day to prep for the championship game.

Not the answer to the question why the ESPN2 game vs the ESPN game.
