GAME THREAD: Richmond @ Northern Iowa

[Peems]

App-pu-LATCH-an!

I was wonderin who would be the first App fan to post that! xlolx

[skinny_uncle]

Montana is 4-0 against UNI.

[Shellin]

Was that also the ball-punch game?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was.

[spdram]

Richmond played the Griz in Montana in the playoffs, I think it was in 2000 Snowed, UM won I think about 17.

[Franks Tanks]

Joes gotta get out of Cedar Falls .... what a dildo

HA-- total slip there. Also if I see that "red or black" commercial for Enterprise one more time I will break my TV.xmadx

[Mountain Panther]

HA-- total slip there. Also if I see that "red or black" commercial for Enterprise one more time I will break my TV.xmadx

yeah but I would "pound ball" the woman in that commercial.

[gbhmt]

This audio feed is crap.

[Mountain Panther]

Richmond driving....ugh.

[LehighFan11]

They aren't done yet...knocking on door

[gbhmt]

This isn't as defensive as I expected. Both QBs are throwing all over the other defense.

[Mountain Panther]

TD Richmond.

About to be 20-14 UNI

[T-Dog]

Why don't they use the cameras behind the endzones? I can see them whenever they do the kicks.

[AlphaSigMD]

Whats up with color guy touting the "go for one" decision. They would be down by 6 points with 1. Its a no brainer.

[T-Dog]

Whats up with color guy touting the "go for one" decision. They would be down by 6 points with 1. Its a no brainer.

Common sense is not his strong point. So far he's defended the bowl games over a playoff, verbally blew Tebow, tried to ignore the game and said he can't wait to get out of Cedar Falls.

[LehighFan11]

Whats up with color guy touting the "go for one" decision. They would be down by 6 points with 1. Its a no brainer.
Yea that was retarded.

[bobbythekidd]

Montana is 4-0 against UNI.
...and played one game in the UNI Dome.

[B&G]

20-14 UNI... pound ball baby!

And don't forget ladies, "Vaughn can hammer you from any position" - Rod Gilmore

[Hansel]

Whats up with color guy touting the "go for one" decision. They would be down by 6 points with 1. Its a no brainer.

because he is an idiot

[Silenoz]

Alright, I figured I'd just go look up the series history:

1981 - Montana W 42-21
1987 - Montana W 33-16
1994 - Montana W 23-20
2001 - Montana W 38-0

[B&G]

Alright, I figured I'd just go look up the series history:

1981 - Montana W 42-21
1987 - Montana W 33-16
1994 - Montana W 23-20
2001 - Montana W 38-0

Hmm, they hook up about once every 6-7 years. Kinda like citdog.

[Silenoz]

Hmm, they hook up about once every 6-7 years. Kinda like citdog.

xlolx

[UMStudent]

GRACE IS DOWN

[LehighFan11]

Grace down holding knee...

[Silenoz]

Hmmmm, Grace is down. Not good


Oh geezus. Did not look good at all on the replay

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

That looked nasty. His knee really got bent back....

[LehighFan11]

Whos their backup?

[UMStudent]

**** that looked like it hurt

RED OR BLACK RED OR BLACK RED OR BLACK RED OR SHUT THE F&*% UP

[ursus arctos horribilis]

...and played one game in the UNI Dome.

we played the game at the UNIdome without a return trip btk and the last two were in the play offs. Trying to make a point here brother?

[skinny_uncle]

Whos their backup?
Zach Davis

43/70 and 3 TDs

[Mountain Panther]

Grace and Lewis go down almost every game.

Davis is good, 3-0 as a starter this year.

Grace is walking well on the sideline.

[UMStudent]

he looks ok now

[LehighFan11]

Wow never missed a play

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

That's 21st century technology that saved him there. 10 years ago and he's on an opperating table Monday morning.

[Mountain Panther]

4th & 12.

We always make it tough.

[LehighFan11]

First play...a rollout? really? I don't know about that call.

[Philliesfan980]

Actually, it really tells you nothing about the character of Pat Grace, it just tells you that he's lucky he was wearing a knee brace.

[UMStudent]

Reminds me of Montanas D-players last night

[bobbythekidd]

we played the game at the UNIdome without a return trip btk and the last two were in the play offs. Trying to make a point here brother?
Na. The question was if you guys ever played in the Dome. I was sharin a bit of info. You Griz have some thin skin about those away games.:p

[whitey]

They should review that no? Looked like he dragged his toe on that 3rd down run...

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

That was a horrible spot. He was short by atleast 2 feet.

[Philliesfan980]

Interesting call on 4th and 1..I probably would have made the same call though.

[TheValleyRaider]

He got a pretty generous spot on that, I think Vaughan was stopped pretty clearly short xtwocentsx

[Jackman]

3rd down spot sucked. 4th down spot was generous.

[LehighFan11]

didn't get it

[HiHiYikas]

spot confirmed...UNI ball

[Screamin_Eagle174]

STUFFED BABY!!!

[Tribe4SF]

False start penalties have killed UR in this game. "Dome Effect" a key factor.

[Mountain Panther]

Nice work D, we needed that.

Take care of the football now, boys.

[Hansel]

a first down and it is over

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

3rd down spot sucked. 4th down spot was generous.

I agree. The 3rd down spot was a yard from where it should have been. They put the ball where his knee hit not where the ball was when the knee hit.

[Mountain Panther]

STUFFED BABY!!!

It's all over now!

We still need a 1st down.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Na. The question was if you guys ever played in the Dome. I was sharin a bit of info. You Griz have some thin skin about those away games.:p

We sure do bob. It's all we hear about.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

We still need a 1st down.

Come on UNI.

[wkuhillhound]

Come on Northern Iowa! Break the WKU curse. ;)

[Mountain Panther]

I knew our poor clock management would prevent the 1st down. Geeez.

[Hansel]

overly conservative playcalling by UNI... imho

[USAFPanther]

Why wasn't Richmond charged a timeout when they lost a challenge?! Or was it an official challenge?

[Mountain Panther]

overly conservative playcalling by UNI... imho

Correct. ALL WE NEEDED was to make ONE of those missed FGs. We put it our defense all the time to win games.

Here we go D....

[Peems]

Gilmore seems to be pulling for Richmond IMO

[TheValleyRaider]

Why wasn't Richmond charged a timeout when they lost a challenge?! Or was it an official challenge?

I believe that's because it's only done that way in the NFL

In college, teams can request that a play be reviewed, but don't have official challenges. Presumably, the booth could have refused to look at the spot if they felt the call on the field was correct. It's probably more complicated than that, but that's my guess

[Peems]

let em have 5 yard rushes

[Mountain Panther]

This is brutal to watch.

[Hansel]

can't wait for Gilmore to say "this is the playofffs you have to score touchdowns" if/when Richmond gets inside the 20

[Hansel]

lets go panthers....

[Mountain Panther]

can't wait for Gilmore to say "this is the playofffs you have to score touchdowns" if/when Richmond gets inside the 20

is he the one who keeps saying "plenty of time?"

[Hansel]

4th down....... and 3

[Hansel]

is he the one who keeps saying "plenty of time?"

yes

[Hansel]

Gilmore needs a nice warm glass of STFU

[Hansel]

shady injury.....

[Philliesfan980]

Some nice gamesmanship by the RB.

[Peems]

it's gonna be a barn burner!!! to think how UNI fans feel right now. I was out of control last night and we had an 8 pt lead!!!

[Mountain Panther]

i hate this

[Hansel]

UNI can't give them out routes

[TheValleyRaider]

Gonna be a heck of a finish here...

[Peems]

OMG

[siuham]

oh god. Unbelievable.

[Hansel]

td spiders

[bobbythekidd]

OH NO!

[whitey]

wowowowowowowowowowoww

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

TD TD TD!!!

That's a knife in the heart!!!

[UMStudent]

OMG NO WAY NO F*#* WAY OMG

[NDSUFREAK]

xeekx xeekx xeekx xeekx xeekx xeekx

[TheValleyRaider]

Wow

[NDSUFREAK]

holy ****...UNI what the hell happened

[LehighFan11]

WOW

[Silenoz]

Prevent for the loss?

[UNHWildCats]

AWESOME

[Peems]

trying to ice on XP is dumb

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Awesome for the Spiders!!!

[Rob Iola]

Not with the Spiders kicker...

[Screamin_Eagle174]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[minuteman65]

What an ending. I turned it on and it was 20-7 UNI. Quite the comeback, and what a drive to end the game!

(Sorry, UNI fans)

[Philliesfan980]

Somewhere Rod Gilmore is cashing a betting ticket!

[siuham]

Terrible defensive play calling at the end there. Wow.

[ASU88]

Couple of fine semi-final games this year.

Nice showing for FCS.

[grizband]

xeekx xeekx

[coover]

OMG NO WAY NO F*#* WAY OMG

Hey guy, you'll beat Richmond next week.

[UNHWildCats]

watch UNI return the kick for a TD

[Grizalltheway]

Gonna take a miracle for UNI

[Rob Iola]

Is it over or time for 1 pass and a long FG?

[Peems]

squib was dumb imo

[UNHWildCats]

Is it over or time for 1 pass and a long FG?
14 seconds according to espn game tracker

[Hansel]

UNI should lob it up to the big tight end

[wkuhillhound]

I guess WKU still reigns. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA......... So rooting for the Panthers. Oh well.......... Crapsville for you. xsmhx

[bobbythekidd]

Got to pass then kick

[NDSUFREAK]

Is it over or time for 1 pass and a long FG?

thats what i would shoot for

[coover]

UNI is a public school, but I bet they try a "Hail Mary"

[UMStudent]

Hey guy, you'll beat Richmond next week.

I was talkin about the drive

[Hansel]

dumbass call on the last play

[siuham]

And a terrible last offensive call. Wow. 11 seconds is plenty to get a quick 20 yard slant and a timeout for a FG try.

[Philliesfan980]

Why do you squibb there, stupid call. One 20-25 yard completion puts them in FG range.

Doesn't matter anyway, what a stupid call. Throw the 25 yard pass and kick the FG.

[Peems]

interesting...

[minuteman65]

What a dumb, dumb final play.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Bye-Bye Panthers!!!

Congrats to the Spiders!!!

[UMStudent]

what a horrible last play call

[TheValleyRaider]

That seemed like an unwise decision....

Congrats to Richmond xsmileyclapx

Tough for UNI :(

[coover]

UNI is a public school, but I bet they try a "Hail Mary"

Wrong again

[Hansel]

UNI deserves to lose after their offensive playcalling with 2 minutes left and on the last play of the game... wtf

[NDSUFREAK]

I hope Montana whoops their ass

[Tribe4SF]

GO SPIDERS!!!

[DFW HOYA]

What was that? You have a time out and 30 yards to get in FG range and that's the best they can do?

[appstate1998]

wow is all i can say

[whitey]

Nice comeback Spiders! Congrats!

[LehighFan11]

While they should of thrown the 25 yard post and call timeout.....that trick play was REALLLY good...they got that ball to the right side in a hurry. If richmond didn't keep contain on the right side that could of gotten interesting.

Congrats to Richmond.

[BossEagle]

what do you call that last one, quick strike, use your last timeout try for a field goal, they were on the 40 maybe a 25-30 yard pass, makes for a 35 yrd field goal attempt????

[bobbythekidd]

Richmond's #15 gets a cookie for the shoestring tackle to end the game.

[BisonBacker]

What the hell was up with that last play by UNI? Farley you have a freakin time out. Throw down the field and try to give your kicker a chance to win it with a FG. Unbelievable stupid call on the last play of the game.xsmhx

[GSU Eagle]

Have to feel a little bad for UNI. They are now 1-6 in semifinal games-- so many chances to get to the championship game and so many failures.

[bobbythekidd]

Got to pass then kick
I should be the coach!xlolx

[Rob Iola]

Congrats to Richmond!!! I (and Chatty) hope you bring lots of fans down to the NC game!

[NU Hound29]

baffling play call to end it, but hey nice work by the spiders to march down the field

nice work caa!

friday should be a fun one!

[KleinTx05]

OMG WTF!!! Thats about the equivalent of our dumbazz coach taking that knee in '05 to let UNI beat us in the same game ... Congrads to Richmond ....I dont know if you won or UNI beat themselves.

[Rob Iola]

OMG WTF!!! Thats about the equivalent of our dumbazz coach taking that knee in '05 to let UNI beat us in the same game ... Congrads to Richmond ....I dont know if you won or UNI beat themselves.
Looks like Richmond earned this win...

[Whooter]

Congrats Richmond. Ward was the difference maker. Very good performance.

[Bettina90]

What a classic. Great game by UNI and condolences to their fans, I will single out PantherRob in particular.



I have been on the other side their second to last possession and have ALWAYS wished the coach of my team got a little aggresive in going after the game-ending first down.



The only people that slightly deserve to get called out are the ones that were burying the CAA near the end of the third quarter.



Great game and how do peeps feel about Ward's ability to pass now?

[spdram]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Way to come come back Spiders!

Great game UNI, you played one hell of a game!!!!!!!!

On to Chatty.

[AAadict]

Nice road win for Richmond. How hard is it to travel to Iowa after a road win in Boone against App. St.?

[DTSpider]

Unreal. What a game!!!

[UMStudent]

MountainPanther its ok ... dont kill yourself its not worth it and im right there cryin with ya xbawlingx xbawlingx xbawlingx xbawlingx xbawlingx xbawlingx xbawlingx xbawlingx xbawlingx xbawlingx xbawlingx

[YoUDeeMan]

Hey guy, you'll beat Richmond next week.

Doubt that. Richmond is better than JMU. Many of us have been saying that all season.

[Bettina90]

I don't think there's been one UNI post since Stewart's TD.



Great game, anyway. Like to say I'll be in Chatty but that won't happen.

[YoUDeeMan]

Anywhere else and this game is Richmond's long before the last few seconds.

[UMStudent]

Doubt that. Richmond is better than JMU. Many of us have been saying that all season.

I was actually more afraid of UNI those guys are beast and to tell u the truth no one here was impressed with Richmond

[skinny_uncle]

Congrats to the Spiders.
Tough one, Panthers.

[CopperCat]

What the heck was UNI's coach thinking with that trick play? At least try and get a few yards for a FG try. If not, then throw it downfield on the next play and hope for some magic. A trick play with that much time left was NOT smart.xnonono2x

But congrats to the spiders. Should prove to be a great game on Friday, I'll be watching.xthumbsupx

[PapaBear]

One of the best football games I've ever seen. Major props to both teams.

Great game-winning drive, UR!!! Now go kick some Griz ass!!!

[Bettina90]

I was actually more afraid of UNI those guys are beast and to tell u the truth no one here was impressed with Richmond




Crap, I guess that settles it.



FWIW, UNI did an AWESOME job minimizing Sidbury and Logan's impact. If Montana sets up in a more traditional pocket they may get more acquainted with them than UNI was.

[GreatAppSt]

Well I was pulling hard for UNI but like I said earlier in this thread.

UNI seems very conservative on O.
All ya needed was a first f'ing! down Panthers! WTF? Credit to UR for the stop there,xbowx but my lord those playcalls were pure vanilla. Boo UNI O coaches.

Oh, and the prevent D, Prevented another team that should have won from from winning. That could be seen coming from a mile away. Credit UR again.xbowx

[DTSpider]

no one here was impressed with Richmond

Seriously? xeekx

[ChickenMan]

Seriously? xeekx

He may have a different opinion after next week... ;)

[UNH 40]

and that's what it feels like UNI. Great game by both teams. Congrat Richmond.

[Bettina90]

and that's what it feels like UNI. Great game by both teams. Congrat Richmond.




That's kinda funny. I have to think the "2008 CAA Champions" flag was getting embroidered in the bowels of the dome and in most of the UNI posters heads.xnonox xnonox xnonox

[FurmanPaladins4138]

Congratulations Richmond! Maybe you guys can join Furman in the ranks of private school NC winners...

[UNI Pike]

Farley relied on the DEF one to many times. The DEF made their play stuffing UR with two minutes left. The OF CORD puckered up - he just needed to make a freaking first down.

Uuugh

[Houndawg]

What did the stats look like?

[Bettina90]

I agree with that. Gotta put the ball in the air one more time. Don't know if Grace's injury and the one pass he threw afterwards impacted that decision.

[Bettina90]

What did the stats look like?




It's gotta be real close, Richmond with one more turnover.

[dwtime]

I was actually more afraid of UNI those guys are beast and to tell u the truth no one here was impressed with Richmond

Many people on this board will be saving this quote........

We will see what happens next week.

[caribbeanhen]

Richmond found a way to get it done on the road and UNI did what UNI does

UNI doesn't finish 9 games under .500 either. We played on ESPN tonight, how bout UD? playing xbox maybe?

Prozac anyone???

[UNIFanSince1983]

The griz are to big,to slow,and way to white, the spiders run all over them.

Sounded a lot like what everyone was saying about UNI vs Richmond to me...

[UNIFanSince1983]

Anywhere else and this game is Richmond's long before the last few seconds.

Yup never has UNI won a game on the road. It is amazing they can make it so far or even into the playoffs without once winning on the road. And for the record a game outside would have favored us as we won the battle for rushing yards...

[gbhmt]

The griz are to big,to slow,and way to white, the spiders run all over them.

xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

Yeah do me a favor and tell the Richmond players that.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

The UNI Dome is good from a noise standpoint but it's too controlled of an enviroment IMO when against this caliber of team. UNI would be well served IMO to consider an outdoor facility.

[93henfan]

BS. We like their dome. Keep it.

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

Congrats to Richmond........tough loss for UNI.................

[State Line Liquors]

A well played game all around. Congrats to the Spiders on their victory and taking the next step as a program. I know a few hen fans that would be more than willing to help you folks fill the seats in Chatty for some of that private school money. :)

Unfortunate for UNI. This is probably starting to get a bit repetitive for you folks. So questionable on that trick play at the end of regulation...

[DTSpider]

I must say that UNI acted with great class all week. They opened up the UNI Dome early and allowed UR two days of practice there. Unfortunately one team had to lose today. UNI appears to have a ton of talent coming back next year I expect to see them deep in the playoffs.

[Old Cat Fan]

c va later CAA

"c va" next week big mouth

[elon77]

The last weekend in August after I saw the Spiders beat Elon I stated on AGS that Richmond would make it to the finals and look what happened. You made me look like a genius. Congratulations Spiders, one more game.xthumbsupx xbowx

[gbhmt]

they will know it the first couple of downs fri. night.

Yeah they'll say "Man they all seem slow except that Reynolds kid! Only took him the first couple of downs to get in the endzone!"

[paward]

You did say it but who would have thought it at the time. Now what do you say about us winning it all?

[elon77]

You did say it but who would have thought it at the time. Now what do you say about us winning it all?

I think Montana is pretty dang good, but traveling east 2 weeks in a row will likely wear on them. Richmond will wear the crown this year. It will be a great win for all the private school's that play football. But, win or lose you guys and girls have had one heck of a great year.xnodx xbowx xnodx xbowx :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

[CID1990]

I think the road to the NC definitely went through Boone this year.

[caribbeanhen]

UNI doesn't finish 9 games under .500 either. We played on ESPN tonight, how bout UD? playing xbox maybe?


xbox? probably so, KC vs Farley next week

[CSUBUCDAD]

What a game. Hated to see either team lose that one. I rate this years semis right up there with the best football I have ever seen. 2 great games, 4 great teams. Man, the championship game oughta be a dewsy.
