[Hansel]

stadium looks great

plus 3 announcers sweet

[GSU Eagle]

I see the clown Gilmore is one of the announcers again

[TulsaBobcat]

I really wish we had a pregame show instead of nfl 2night

Didn't Merrill Hodge play IAA football?

Yes he did. Idaho State.

[Mr. C]

Any more word on Williams for App St?
Williams looked good in pregame, but the word is that Elder will start.

[windwalker]

It is about to start... I am on needles !!

Now we go... the REAL championship.


App kicks off

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

according to the announcers, Richie won't be starting. Too bad.

[Hansel]

Let's see if the beat the David Horne transfer horse

[GSU Eagle]

A sell out and a great looking field-- This is a quality event for 1AA football

[Hansel]

apparently instant replay is in effect

[windwalker]

one 1st down, then 3rd and long... and another 1st down

[GaSouthern]

MAN I AM AMPED! kick some ass appy... it is SO LOUD on the online feed!

[GaSouthern]

is the stadiums set as Home and Away or is it just mixed (I would assume each team has their own side)

[Hansel]

any wind in Chatty?

[Hansel]

Sweet FB by UNI

[ISUMatt]

LETS GO UNI!!!!!!!!

50 YD FG!!!

3-0 UNI

[windwalker]

3 - 0 11:35

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

50 yard field goal

Panthers 3
Mountaineers 0

[Hansel]

FUMBLE

[Hansel]

UNI ball

big early momentum for panthers

[ISUMatt]

Wow he just dropped it...-JITTERS-

[GSU Eagle]

Appalachian makes the first big mistake. A non-forced fumble.

UNI is position to get 7 now

[Hansel]

despite throwing a bit of a "lollipop" Sanders does find his man

[windwalker]

Sanders looks good!!

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

did anyone hear the announcer say something like "and app state could be starting a backup quarterback being down 14-0". Someone doesnt know how to add...

[ISUMatt]

Sanders looks good!!

You watching football or Brokeback Mountain? xlolx

[Hansel]

FG good

UNI up 6-0

[windwalker]

did anyone hear the announcer say something like "and app state could be starting a backup quarterback being down 14-0". Someone doesnt know how to add...
no kidding... DUH!!!

6 - 0 is a big differnce from 14 - 0

[windwalker]

You watching football or Brokeback Mountain? xlolx
what is Brokeback Mt????

[SeattleGriz]

Wingert is a stud. Two FG's already. Cool Shoes. Damn, he the complete deal.

[Hansel]

App downs the kickoff... good choice

[SeattleGriz]

Was in awe how Wingert buried Texas St. deep in the end zone all game on kickoffs.

[Hansel]

looks like a catch, wonder if they will use replay

[GSU Eagle]

UNI looks to be the more confortable team right now. I just wonder if Williams will get in for Appalachian

[LeopardFan04]

:rolleyes: Why do the announcers always assume only the I-A transfers are talented? :rolleyes:

[Hansel]

lucky that wasn't picked

I am guessing App picks off at least one of Sanders floaters tonight

[windwalker]

broke down...

[Hansel]

nice (lucky) play on the punt

[GSU Eagle]

If I were a UNI fan I would be a little worried right now. They have dominated the game so far but only have a 6-0 lead.

Appalachian needs to move the ball off the goalline right now.

[Granite]

lucky that wasn't picked

I am guessing App picks off at least one of Sanders floaters tonight

Was thinking the same thing....

[Granite]

If I were a UNI fan I would be a little worried right now. They have dominated the game so far but only have a 6-0 lead.

Appalachian needs to move the ball off the goalline right now.

Agreed - this could have been a 17-0 game right now. App State came up big with that sack.

[LeopardFan04]

a good break for AppSt.

[Hansel]

first replay reversal of the night,

appeared to have been a good call

[skinny_uncle]

Can UNI win with the lead?
They have had to come from behind almmost every week lately.

[SeattleGriz]

App states QB has been going to ASU since the 7th grade.

[Hansel]

Bettis

seems to have some problems catching

[windwalker]

At least App got one first down... they will come back

[Granite]

Boy, can't wait for that Toledo-UTEP game Wednesday night. Big game, that. :rolleyes:

[GSU Eagle]

Uni is mixing up the play calls pretty well. If they can run on App., then App is is real trouble.

The RB Horne appears to be a nice player

[windwalker]

I'm really excited about which of these two teams gets to play YSU??? LOL!!!

[Granite]

Horne is starting to get comfortable - goes without saying, but if they keep getting 6 and 7 yards on first down, App State is in trouble.

[GrizzlyEdd]

I hope that UNI's inability to get a TD when they recovered that fumble on the Appy 20 doesn't come back to haunt them. Appy is going to get tougher as the game goes on.:cool:

[Hansel]

good first quarter, I think it will remain close all game

[Obzerver]

I can't remember watching a I-AA game without a TD in the first Qtr...

[Mr. C]

Bettis

seems to have some problems catching
Yes, he does when he takes huge hits. Those were good defesnive plays

[GSU Eagle]

Good game after 1. UNI should be ahead by more than 6. Appalachian needs to start moving the ball. This game could very well come down to a crucial turnover.

[Mr. C]

Wonder how long till we see Williams?

[Mr. C]

I can't remember watching a I-AA game without a TD in the first Qtr...
Probably was the snoozefest between Furman and Montana in 2001

[Hansel]

You in the pressbox Mr. C?

[windwalker]

here comes App...

[Hansel]

nice delivery by Elder as he was getting smoked

[Hansel]

TD APP

[windwalker]

Richie is a good cheerleader on the sidelines!!! you see him jumping up and down???

[Granite]

Gutsy play and great throw by Elder. There is room downfield.

7-6 App State - UNI missed some opportunities in the first.

[Mr. C]

You in the pressbox Mr. C?
yep

[Hansel]

let's see if UNI can respond in turn...

[GrizzlyEdd]

Well, as I said I was hoping that UNI's inability to score a TD after the fumble didn't hurt them... Hmmmm time for UNI to regroup and open a big can of WHOOP ASS....:hyped:

[kardplayer]

TD APP

That was a pretty run...

[Hansel]

yep
sweet, out of curiousity, what type of food/drink "spread" do they have for media types?

[GSU Eagle]

App. finally got a drive going. UNI will not win this game by kicking field goals. App. will score some points. UNI will have to score to keep up. I have the sense that App. now is getting their legs under them and is ready to get it rolling.

[skinny_uncle]

I figure if UNI is behind going into the fourth quarter, they have it in the bag.
:D

[Hansel]

App D stiffening up

[windwalker]

good punt...

[Mr. C]

sweet, out of curiousity, what type of food/drink "spread" do they have for media types?
We had barbecued pork, baked beans, coleslaw, bread etc. tonight. UTC isn't one of the places to go when you are hungry.

[Eaglegus2]

Was that the Cap'n with the chicken mask?

[windwalker]

Coke brought back that old polar bear commercial again... They need to get inovated commercials for this championship game like the super bowl...

[Mr. C]

Richie is a good cheerleader on the sidelines!!! you see him jumping up and down???
Richie and Trey are roommates

[windwalker]

Richie and Trey are roommates

they are??? that is different.. 2 QBs in the same room???

[GSU Eagle]

I wish we would not get the constant references to 1A games during the 1AA championship game.

Don't you think we will get enough Texas/USC talk in the next few weeks.

[Mr. C]

Officials should have never allowed that time out. Of course, what would you expect from a Big Sky crew, the worst officials in I-AA.

[Hansel]

nice to hear the Big Sky refs say Northern Ida....er Iowa :p

[windwalker]

Darn announcers... talking about a national championship in the Rose Bowl... GRRRRRR

[windwalker]

Officials should have never allowed that time out. Of course, what would you expect from a Big Sky crew, the worst officials in I-AA.

Are they really worse than MEAC????

[Hansel]

We had barbecued pork, baked beans, coleslaw, bread etc. tonight. UTC isn't one of the places to go when you are hungry.
mmmm sounds very tasty

I had a buddy who was a media type and always thought it was interesting to hear about the different spreads different universities provide.

[Hansel]

nice pick by UNI

[windwalker]

2 TO's now... oh oh

[Hansel]

UNI inside the 10

[GSU Eagle]

UNIT driving now. Let's see if they can get in the endzone this time

[Granite]

What happened to the App State DB on that throw?

[Hansel]

big third down coming up

[Mr. C]

Are they really worse than MEAC????
It's close

[Hansel]

TD PANTHERS

GO FOR 1 OR 2?

[GSU Eagle]

I am enjoying this game. It is a good competitive game (and I don't have to stress as I don't have a horse in the race). App. just gave up those 7 points thanks to the intercept.

[Mr. C]

That was a throw Williams wouldn't have made

[blackfordpu]

Great game so far. This is how the Champ game should be. The defenses are stepping up and playing great. Offenses are also moving the ball. The teams seem to be very equal in abilities. Both QBs are playing well (except for the int of course). I'm looking forward to the end of this one.

Heres to a great game the rest of the way! xprost2x

[blackfordpu]

TD PANTHERS

GO FOR 1 OR 2?

This early I agree with the call to go for 1. :nod:

[Mr. C]

Time to go to the bullpen for Richie. Elder is struggling to move the team.

[blackfordpu]

Man, Sanders really wants this game. He is showing great vision and excellent decision making.

[Hansel]

Sanders = crafty

time for another beer :beerchug:

[blackfordpu]

Sanders = crafty

time for another beer :beerchug:

I'd join ya but I think I'm coming down with something. I just got over an upper respitory infection too. :bawling:

[windwalker]

Time to go to the bullpen for Richie. Elder is struggling to move the team.

Time for the D to step up before Richie can come in...

[Granite]

time for another beer :beerchug:

Think I'll grab one too, Hansel - xprost2x

Good game so far - UNI can take control with this drive. Big 3rd down coming up here.

[blackfordpu]

Sanders' pocket seems to be collapsing quicker and quicker. Is App St's D-line much bigger than UNI's O-line?

[Hansel]

I'd join ya but I think I'm coming down with something. I just got over an upper respitory infection too. :bawling:
Although alcohol does put stess on one's immune system, it can have antiseptic effect against bacteria, viruses

DRINK UP MY FRIEND :p

[Granite]

UNI can take control with this drive. Big 3rd down coming up here.

Just thinking that this has been true for most of the first half.

Good stop by App State - gotta start moving the ball downfield.

[Mr. C]

Man, Sanders really wants this game. He is showing great vision and excellent decision making.
Actually, Sanders has been floating a lot of balls and has been fortunate not to throw a couple of picks. Both defenses have been doing a great job.

[GSU Eagle]

Is Williams healthy enough to play? I guess we will find out soon.

[Hansel]

FUMBLE

APP WITH A THIRD TO

[blackfordpu]

ANOTHER FUMBLE RECOVERY FOR UNI!

App St. doesn't have a chance if they keep this up.

[windwalker]

oh oh 3 TO's

[Hansel]

Actually, Sanders has been floating a lot of balls and has been fortunate not to throw a couple of picks. Both defenses have been doing a great job.
Living in Iowa, I have seen at least 8 UNI games live or on TV this year. Sanders floats about every pass, it seems like more should get picked off, but they don't

[Granite]

Actually, Sanders has been floating a lot of balls and has been fortunate not to throw a couple of picks. Both defenses have been doing a great job.

Agree - not impressed with his arm strength tonight. I don't remember him floating the ball as much against UNH.

DAMN - another App State turnover - I'm seeing flashbacks from our quarterfinal game a few weeks ago.

[DB_Atlantic10]

Your one, twice.....three times a fumble.....and I luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv youuuuuuuuuuuuu. I think I saw Lionel Richie in the stands....

[blackfordpu]

Although alcohol does put stess on one's immune system, it can have antiseptic effect against bacteria, viruses

DRINK UP MY FRIEND :p

Is there any truth to this? Seriously? :confused:

[windwalker]

yeah, they have to bring Richie in now... hurt or not... the team leadership may be what they need

[GSU Eagle]

That is 3 now. It is amazing the score is only 13-7 with App. having 3 turnovers. App's defense is keeping App in the game.

[blackfordpu]

Nice thrid down conversion by Sanders to Sersey (?).

[SuperJon]

Every little thing has gone UNI's way. App hasta bring in Richie just to try to get momentum.

[blackfordpu]

That is 3 now. It is amazing the score is only 13-7 with App. having 3 turnovers. App's defense is keeping App in the game.

It seems that the only time Horn gets to run the ball is if he breaks a big one. App St has been stuffing him the last few times.

[DB_Atlantic10]

That is 3 now. It is amazing the score is only 13-7 with App. having 3 turnovers. App's defense is keeping App in the game.

The same thing happened a UNH, TX St. and now App..... teams just seem to make mistakes against the Purple....

[Hansel]

Is there any truth to this? Seriously? :confused:
Well, it can put stress on the immune system, and it does have an antiseptic affect against bacteria and viruses, but to be maximally effective the alcohol concentration needs to be about 70%

I don't think you want to have that amount of alcohol in your blood :p

[windwalker]

Good Defensive stand by App

[Granite]

Another missed opportunity by UNI. Wow. App State's defense is bailing their offense out right now.

[Hansel]

another figgie by UNI, now up 9

[blackfordpu]

Did he just say that was a 51 yd attempt?

[SeattleGriz]

Wingert 9
App St 7

[Granite]

The same thing happened a UNH, TX St. and now App..... teams just seem to make mistakes against the Purple....

Thanks for the reminder, DB. :bang:

[SuperJon]

Here's a break for App. I think we see Richie in the 2nd half.

[Hansel]

Is Bailliff making the decisions out there?

[SuperJon]

Who cares about African-American coaches in the NFL or whatever. There's a game being played, let's talk about that, jackass.

[blackfordpu]

Is Bailliff making the decisions out there?

No joke, 10 seconds and one time out. Atleast try to get closer.

Or that could happen. Sack and halftime.

[SuperJon]

Start warmin up Richie.

[blackfordpu]

Hail Mary time.

Will we see a Doug Flutie type moment here?

[blackfordpu]

They are DOGGING Baliff right now. And it is well deserved. I wonder if he is watching right now?

[windwalker]

well, here come richie!!1

[Hansel]

willis reed limps onto the field

[SuperJon]

Speakin of the devil...

[Mr. C]

Richie into the game. what took so long?

[Hansel]

rod gilmore = idiot

[blackfordpu]

rod gilmore = idiot

Why do you say that?

[Hansel]

good first half,

let's hope for one more :)

[SuperJon]

Holy piss, yea, he better play the second half.

That fag of an announcer needs to die.

[gsuwinsudont]

Its so obvious gilmore would rather be doing a I-A game. Always been an a know it all idiot.

[Obzerver]

He couldn't even walk off the field on his own...I can't believe they would put him in the 2nd half...if so, no way he lasts long.

[SunCoastBlueHen]

UNI certainly is an opportunistic team. Looking forward to the second half.

[SuperJon]

He was walking off fine when I saw him. It was the UNI player that had to get carried off.

[blackfordpu]

He couldn't even walk off the field on his own...I can't believe they would put him in the 2nd half...if so, no way he lasts long.

Hey, Byron Leftwich won a game and his linemen had to carry him to the LOS. It is possibe, where there is a will, there is a way! :nod:

[windwalker]

First they start doing is talking about basketball... then Div I-A football... like this game doesn't mean anything... Bites me...

[UAalum72]

my favorite quote of the 1st half - Gillmore says Horne 'makes decisive decisions when he runs'

[DB_Atlantic10]

They Guy in the Middle Suit is horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :asswhip:

[windwalker]

Just hurry up and get halftime over... GAME TIME...

[SuperJon]

This halftime show blows. How bout they tell us how each team got to the championship game? What's each team have to do in the second half to win the game?

Is there any way we can e-mail ESPN to complain?

[blackfordpu]

They are doing a mock I-A playoff bracket right now. They have USC and Texas in the finals anyway.

They are calling for Texas to defeat USC.

[DB_Atlantic10]

That mock play-offs is a crock of sh$t..... what's the point if the same two make it to the finals....... :bang:

[blackfordpu]

This halftime show blows. How bout they tell us how each team got to the championship game? What's each team have to do in the second half to win the game?

Is there any way we can e-mail ESPN to complain?

They won't care.

[Cocky]

They are doing a mock I-A playoff bracket right now. They have USC and Texas in the finals anyway.

They are calling for Texas to defeat USC.


That's the only upset

[windwalker]

They are doing a mock I-A playoff bracket right now. They have USC and Texas in the finals anyway.

They are calling for Texas to defeat USC.

And then say.. Why have a playoff??? Bah Hum Bug!!!

[blackfordpu]

And then say.. Why have a playoff??? Bah Hum Bug!!!

Didn't hear them say that. MORONS!

[Hansel]

at least they talked about Gocong during halftime... it's something... I guess...

[Cocky]

Maybe I'm the only one in the world but I could careless about I-A football. Just for the record there is a 90% chance I will not watch the UT/USC game.

[SuperJon]

They won't care.

They might but I'd like to see what they'd say back or even if they would.

[GOKATS]

Are they really worse than MEAC????

Yes, they have to be the worst nationwide.

[windwalker]

Let's get the 2nd half going... I am still on pins and needles...

[Granite]

Maybe I'm the only one in the world but I could careless about I-A football. Just for the record there is a 90% chance I will not watch the UT/USC game.

You're not the only one - I'll probably watch, but I'm sure I'll be channel surfing throughout.

[Hansel]

man does wingert have a leg

[Hansel]

richie back on the field

[blackfordpu]

man does wingert have a leg

Yea, he go ahold of that one.

Williams will either give his team a huge boost or hurt them tragically because of his injury. He does not seem to be able to throw too well. Is he still too unstable on that ankle? I guess we'll see.

[blackfordpu]

Nice completion. Watch Williams when he throws, using all upperbody, not really stepping into the throw.

[Hansel]

just when I thought I forget last year's turf debacle, the announcers beat it to death

[blackfordpu]

just when I thought I forget last year's turf debacle, the announcers beat it to death

I know, they had to show that field again. I had almost forgotten about it! :bang:

[windwalker]

Well... richie can throw... but what happens if he gets pressure??? Can he run at all????

[skinny_uncle]

You gotta let Williams play. He's a senior. It's his last shot.

[Hansel]

I know, they had to show that field again. I had almost forgotten about it! :bang:
not enought IA transfers in this game, so i guess they needed something else to talk about

[blackfordpu]

Horn is tearing up App State. Pretty good numbers so far.

[Hansel]

not enought IA transfers in this game, so i guess they needed something else to talk about
never mind, they have horne to talk about

[windwalker]

Then they only mention that Horne is a I-A transfer

[catamount man]

Best thing UNI can do is now just run the ball up and down the field. Still, Hunter and Murrell are keeping the ASU defense in the game. GO CATAMOUNTS!!!

[Hansel]

does it seem a bit quiet in here for a championship game???

[windwalker]

does it seem a bit quiet in here for a championship game???
Everybody else is there!!! only us 'po folks have to watch on TV

[blackfordpu]

does it seem a bit quiet in here for a championship game???

It seems that a lot of fellow AGS'ers made the trip to Chatty.

[Cocky]

It seems that a lot of fellow AGS'ers made the trip to Chatty.


Not a lot of us posters left

[skinny_uncle]

It seems that a lot of fellow AGS'ers made the trip to Chatty.
They said Chatty is sold out.

[LeopardFan04]

App St's offense has got to get it going...and there's a first down...

[HI54UNI]

Dumbass announcers. We play every game under the lights when we are at home.

[windwalker]

BTW... Franklin Graham, son of Billy Graham, who is a grad of App State is in the crowd tonight.

[blackfordpu]

App St. is rolling at the moment.

[LeopardFan04]

I think I jinxed UNI's D...outstanding catch by Johnson!

[windwalker]

What an unbeleiveable catch

[blackfordpu]

WHAT A CATCH! TWO GUYS FIGHTING FOR THE BALL IN THE AIR AND APP ST COMES DOWN WITH IT!

[blackfordpu]

Man, he stuck him hard!

[SuperJon]

Did Richie graduate this December or is he a spring graduate?

[windwalker]

As bad as Richie is limping... I can't believe UNI isn't pressuring him..

holding... good call

[JSU Fan]

Rod Gilmore can bitch and moan all he wants about Williams playing injured but he has energized ASU.

Out.

[LeopardFan04]

Did Richie graduate this December or is he a spring graduate?

I believe he graduated last Saturday after the game...

[Granite]

Give it up, Rod. Richie has been great on this drive.

[windwalker]

Sorry... that was a bad call... in the first place.. the hold was NOT in the end zone.. in the second... it wasn't interfernce since the ball was not catchable...

[Hansel]

TD MOUNTAINEERS

[Hansel]

2 pt ballgame folks

[JSU Fan]

Now the game is back on. Street fight and survival of the fittest.

Out.

[skinny_uncle]

I still say UNI has to get behind if they want to win.

[Hansel]

I still say UNI has to get behind if they want to win.
if they never fall behind I think they may have a shot too

;)

[Hansel]

Nice to hear Gilmore say nobody thought these teams had a shot to make it here.

I am pretty sure more than a few people thought #2 seed App had a chance

[JSU Fan]

Rod Gilmore IS a dumbass.

He says no one expected either of the teams to be there.

Wasn't ASU a # 2 seed Mr. Gilmore?

Out.

[swaghook]

Everybody else is there!!! only us 'po folks have to watch on TV
TV!!! you ain't 'po us 'po folks have to listen to the radio. ;)

[skinny_uncle]

if they never fall behind I think they may have a shot too

;)
True, but they have come from behind in 5 of their last 6 wins.

[JSU Fan]

I wish I could have gone. I'm only 150 miles from Chatty but my son and his youth basketball mates wouldn't have understood me blowing off their practice tonight with a game in the morning to prepare for.

Out.

[SuperJon]

That punter got killed.

[Tubby Raymond]

UNI not scoring on that second possession may be the series of the game.

GREAT game, evenly matched . Whomever wins is the I-AA champ,clearly :doh:

[Hansel]

flag on the punt,

big break for UNI

[LeopardFan04]

Wow, punter got drilled...UNI will keep the ball...

[SuperJon]

No way that that was roughing. That shoulda been running into.

[SuperJon]

The kid was in the air when the ball was kicked. No way he coulda stopped himself.

[JSU Fan]

I agree. Running not roughing.

No matter what the dumbass announcers are saying.

Out.

[Hansel]

The kid was in the air when the ball was kicked. No way he coulda stopped himself.
then he better get a piece of the ball

roughing all the way IMHO

[JSU Fan]

If I see one more reply I may have to change my mind on the roughing call.

Out.

[SuperJon]

Random question: Why is App the away team in this game?

[Hansel]

big mistake on the snap for UNI...

[DB_Atlantic10]

Huge break for APP

[Tubby Raymond]

NICE SNAP :bang:

[JSU Fan]

Ralph reported earlier in the week that the top half of the bracket had won a coin toss before the tourney started.

Out.

[Hansel]

followed by an extremely poor punt

[JSU Fan]

HUGE series upcoming for ASU.

Out.

[SuperJon]

Richie's new name is Uncle Mo.

[UNH 40]

UNI ball

big early momentum for panthers

UNI not as good as they are lucky!! But I do hope they win

[skinny_uncle]

Good title game, whoever wins. First title game to sell out in Chatty. They are getting their money's worth.

[Hansel]

Richie's new name is Uncle Mo.
i guess that is better than "aunt flo" :p

[mainejeff]

I've only been watching some of the 3rd quarter, but from what I've seen this hasn't been the best quality of football, not exactly great for I-AA. But hey....at least it looks good on TV with the big crowd :rolleyes: .

[Hansel]

fourth quarter coming up

UNI up 2

[JSU Fan]

OK, everyone stick four fingers in the air.

Thanks.

Out.

[GaSouthern]

Man appy's D gets the game ball no matter what happens.

[Hansel]

I've only been watching some of the 3rd quarter, but from what I've seen this hasn't been the best quality of football, not exactly great for I-AA. But hey....at least it looks good on TV with the big crowd :rolleyes: .
It hasn't been great, but it hasn't been sloppy either. I would prefer more scoring myself. And I do like the fact that there is no empty seats

[Mr. C]

Largest crowd in Finley Stadium history for the I-AA title game 20,236. Capacity is 20,668

[Granite]

I've only been watching some of the 3rd quarter, but from what I've seen this hasn't been the best quality of football, not exactly great for I-AA. But hey....at least it looks good on TV with the big crowd :rolleyes: .

Agree - its been close, but the quality of play hasn't been all that good - lots of mistakes, and no real flow to the game - neither team seems particularly sharp.

[HI54UNI]

Is this Oprah's book club or a FB game?

[Hansel]

Largest crowd in Finley Stadium history for the I-AA title game 20,236. Capacity is 20,668
very nice, very nice :nod:

[DB_Atlantic10]

UNI going after William's ankle......

[SuperJon]

They whine about the roughing that kicker call that shoulda been running into the kicker call and don't mention that at all.

I hate announcers that pick and choose what to complain about.

[Hansel]

UNI going after William's ankle......
Kind of like Karate Kid when Danny's leg gets hurt and the guy from the "cobras" hits him with a cheap shot :p

ohh, so close to a pick...but more importantly the GMAC Bowl is just 5 nights away!

UNI not as good as they are lucky!! But I do hope they win

I'm ambivalent - don't really have a dog in this fight. Guess I should probably be pulling for UNI, but I can't seem to care.

Just trying to enjoy the game without thinking too much...... :cool:

Freeney seems to have some legs left.

Nice tackle by Hunter...App St gets it back...

App needs to score on this drive...or the defense will be butter....
