If your team was in the NC...

[BooneNative]

who would you want to play and why??

[OL FU]

who would you want to play and why??

Anybodyxnodx

Although a shot at Montana for 2001 would be nice or even JMU for 2004xnodx

[RichH2]

for me ,it would be great to playColgate.2 PLschools in championship game .

[GoBlueHens83]

I'm with OL FU, doesn't really matter who we play. Though I would like another shot at Appalachian State.

[MaximumBobcat]

I'd want to play GSU or App St. Or UNI.

[GannonFan]

I would love to play Furman, but I'd be afraid they would schedule a money game for that week and skip the championship game. :p:p:p:p:p

[DFW HOYA]

Villanova (Would like to play them someday, but no interest from the 'Cats...)

[paward]

The Dukes of JMU! Wanted them in the NC 2008. Could not wait to kick the ball to Scotty then push him back in the endzone. Do not get me wrong I have nothing but gratitude for Scotty and JMU. They changed our season last year. But would love to play them in the NC game.

We wouldn't want you to be 0 for threexnodx

[jstclmet]

Villanova (It may be the only way they'll play the Hoyas...)

Georgetown - Should be guaranteed win for Nova, not to mention another Championship win for Nova at the expense of GT.

Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.

[JMU Newbill]

The feeling is mutual... atleast from my end. We would have loved a chance to play UR in the NC. Who gets the advantage in our series on a neutral field??? Not sure how that would work.

Other than UR... I'd love to see JMU matched up against Montana again. They paid us back for 2004, now it's time to pay them back for 2008.

[CrazyCat]

1. Anybody
2. Appalachian State
3. Montana Grizzlies

[DLS]

montana or jmu


from the socon: gsu

[GannonFan]

We wouldn't want you to be 0 for threexnodx

If you need to wait every 20 years to cherrypick the years when we have abysmal QB play, then I imagine we'll see you again in about 2028. xlolxxlolxxlolx:p

[Uncle Rico's Clan]

I think it would be an amazing game if the Griz could play MSU, chatty would be out of control for a few days. But at the same time if the Griz lost that game, the Cats would have ultimate bragging rights from now until the end of time so i would have some apprehension about a matchup like that in the title game.

[Reign of Terrier]

I would like to beat one of the former "big 3" in the Socon that way they can finally admit it really is something of the past and Wofford is in the hierarchy of the conference.

[OL FU]

If you need to wait every 20 years to cherrypick the years when we have abysmal QB play, then I imagine we'll see you again in about 2028. xlolxxlolxxlolx:p

Then you will be 0 for 3xnodx

[vettert49]

NDSU, UNI, or a rematch against Richmond, with a different outcome! But other than that we will take on anybody in a championship game. I just hope we don't have to wait till 2012.

[TheValleyRaider]

I suppose if I had to pick 1, and just 1.... Delaware

[mtgrizfan4life]

Montana State or Applachian State

[jmufan999]

i'd want to play a good team.... so this should be a compliment if i list your team. and you shouldn't get your panties in a bunch if i don't list you.... Montana, App State, Villanova, UNI, Weber State (think the QB will have a shot at the WP award), NDSU. whoever the Furman fan was that wanted JMU, you're right, that would be a fun re-match. i didn't get to see the game but i'm sure it was interesting. nice defensive battle.

PANTIES BUNCHED UP!

[Wildcat80]

This year either JMU, Richmond or Delaware since they are not on our schedule and an all CAA title game for all the marbles would be great! App State if they beat those three on the way there. UNI since we've got scores to settle with them. Just Win Baby-CATS!

[ncman071]

Michigan

[Gil Dobie]

2007 App St vs NDSU
1980's Georgia Southern vs NDSU

[ValleyChamp]

Dayton.

[LUHawker]

For Lehigh it would have to be Delaware or Lafayette.

Can you imagine if "The Rivalry" was for the National Championship!

Mayhem!!

[Grizo406]

I really, really wanted to play UNI for the National Championship this past season, but it didn't happen.

Other than UNI, I'd like another game with Richmond, GSU, or JMU for all the marbles!

A NC game with Montana State is just too much to ask for, so I won't, but it would be an undeniable hoot!

[Cocky]

Open

[kirkblitz]

App state

so we could avenge our two losses in boone xnonox

[g-webb1994]

Promote Central State Ohio up to the FCS from D-2 so G-Webb can extract some NAIA 1992 revenge on them!xmadxxbangxxbangxxanim_chaix

[Mountaineer#96]

JMU or Montana would be nice........:)

[OL FU]

I suppose an FU GSU match up would be interesting again with the history. It was set up perfectly in 2004 but we both blew against those damn CAA teams:o

[Thunderstruck84]

For NDSU....

1. USC
2. Oklahoma
3. Florida
4. Ohio St
5. App St
6. Montana

:D I'm kidding..... maybe

[Redwyn]

Hofstra, Hofstra, and a bit more Hofstra. An all Long Island NC would be fantastic, however unlikely it is.

[achrist70]

Richmond, Delaware, App. State, or SIU.

The first three for obvious reasons, and SIU because of the great rivalry and it would be great for the Valley.

[hippy@GSU]

Furman- Revival of the Diamond Bowl

Delaware, McNeese

1999 GSU vs. 1989 GSU

[89Hen]

Anyone who would bring a lot of fans. Even though we were outnumbered by a large margin in 2007, having a full stadium and full tailgates is the only way to go. So it would have to be one of: AppSt, GSU, Furman, UNI, Montana, McNeese... I think those are the best chances to have a full stadium. xpeacex

[Seawolf97]

Hofstra, Hofstra, and a bit more Hofstra. An all Long Island NC would be fantastic, however unlikely it is.

I would like us to just beat them first in a regular season game. xbawlingx

[Redwyn]

I would like us to just beat them first in a regular season game. xbawlingx

Amen

[Husky Alum]

Since this is pure fantasy since NU's never going to be in the NC, I'd love to play Harvard or Yale.

Like I said, pure fantasy, since none of the three schools will play for the NC any time in the near future.

[DuckDuckGriz]

Georgia Southern. That 2000 NC still hurts......


Sidenote: can anyone believe that was nearly a decade ago xeekx

[T-Dog]

When we have six titles, I'd love to play Georgia Southern in the Nat'l Title game to get our seventh while they're still stuck on six.

Oh, and Montana. Overtime in 2000 in Missoula will be avenged one day.

[uofmman1122]

Montana State, Georgia Southern, or Appy.

A win against MSU in the chipper would be the sweetest thing ever.

[DFW HOYA]

Georgetown - Should be guaranteed win for Nova...Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.

As long as Coach Talley is there, I wouldn't be so sure.

[DX Man]

Montana or JMU

[furman94]

We wouldn't want you to be 0 for threexnodx

xlolx xwhistlex

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

App. State. That would be awesome. Especially if we lost the RS game in a heartbreaker.

[Silenoz]

Montana State

Someone wake this poor fellow up and tell him that he was dream-typing.(Though that is the purpose of this). I would like to play App. St. also, but not for a championship tiebreaker.

[I-AA Fan]

Hypothetically, Ohio State, because that would mean we are BCS, and people would care to watch. Don't take that the wrong way.

Failing that, anyone we have lost to in the past; preferably not in the same conference, or that we played in the regular season.

[TCisMYhero]

App St. I'd like to reverse the heartbreaker role from 2005. I wouldn't trade the image of some drunk App fan jumping over the wall and breaking his leg though. Or the App fan who was getting ready to piss on a UNI flag near midfield and some big burly UNI fan speared him into 2006. Reminded me of a Wile E. Coyote cartoon when the head stays 10 feet from where the body is. Hilarious stuff.

[BobcatTXST04]

My picks would be:

UNI (to avenge our "kneeling" incedent)

UM (since you guys cut our playoff run short)

App. St.

GSU

JMU

Montana St. (if only to call it the Bobcat Bowl / Cat fight)

[appmaj]

JMU
Richmond
WCU (Make the rivalry valid)

Absolutely! My Griz fan buddies and I always talk about how cool this would be. I'm pretty sure most people that follow FCS football agree that we own THE greatest rivalry in 1-AA\FCS football of all time, would be incredible to meet for the national title.

[bostonspider]

Greatest rivalry of FCS Football of all time?? I think Harvard / Yale and Lehigh / Lafayette would definitely disagree with you there...

[igo4uni]

Indiana State.

[catatac]

As far as intensity level, and how emotional this game is for players and fans, how much it means, what this game does in terms of basically shutting down the state for several hours... I don't think any other rivalry out there compares. You have to experience it to understand. Just my opinion of course... ;)

Other than the shutting down the state factor, I venture to say that Yale-Harvard and Lehigh-Lafayette more than match Montana-MSU. Now, in the Northeast nothing short of a national catastrophe is going to shut down a state. Not the Red Sox, the Patriots, the Yankees, the Giants, the Phillies nor the Eagles can do that. There are just too many people with varied interests and backgrounds here. But that doesn't shortchange the environment when 55K people attend the Yale-Harvard game in New Haven. The ole Ivy Leaguers might be pretty casual, laid back fans, but they do get ramped up for that season ending clash. And I've read enough posters from Lehigh and Lafayette to known that their game is a cut or three above the typical FCS rivalry game.

Many of us think you and others from Montana need to experience Yale-Harvard and Lehigh-Lafayette (and vica versa) to understand that they indeed might just be as big a deal or bigger than the Montana showdown. xpeacex xpeacex xpeacex I've not experienced any of them first hand so I don't make bold statements about which one is the best.

[Skjellyfetti]

WCU (Make the rivalry valid)

You just boggled my mind. xeekx

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

To get back on topic, as for the NC......anybody, any place, any time! I just want to play in the game first and worry about the match-up later. :p

No doubt there are a couple of schools that would provide some serious demon purging. (My serious drunken nightmares don't have pink elephants. They have purple panthers! ;) :p :p :p)

And like many others there are league foes that would provide serious satisfaction if they were beat in the NC.

Never been to Lehigh-Lafayette. Yale-Harvard has been rather one sided lately. Most fans/students could care less about the game-its only an excuse to drink. Reminds me alot of UConn games where students only arrive at the half.

I'd venture to guess that students are a fraction of the usual 55K at Yale Bowl for Harvard and the 40K at the Rent though. Personally, I don't care how one sided the series has become, a consistent 50K+ crowd at the Yale Bowl for Harvard is very impressive in today's Ivy League football world. And it looks like that lack of success might have forced a coach out in New Haven too. That game is still important and gets certain blue blood boiling.

[buckp]

McNeese vs UNI xnodx

Neither have won the NC and both are about equal distance away from Chatty, so the stadium should be full with a crowd divided about half and half.

Love to party with some of the great Panther fans....xbowx

[BooneNative]

i would have to say GSU's 99' or 00' squads or 08's JMU
