Great article and the truth. With the Cotton Bowl game in town on the same day this game will probably not even get any local press coverage. Also, I have been in some terrible Ice Storms in Dallas the first week of January. Don't even think about it if Dallas happens to have a playoff game that week. It will not matter if it is at home or away.

Thanks again to Chattanooga for the terrific job the city did with this game. You really made us FCS fans feel special. I will miss that.xbawlingx

Wasn't the story heading into this whole thing that the date could be moved to avoid a conflict with the Cotton Bowl or the Dallas Football Classic?

I recall reading that...are the dates in the stories reflective of that move?

In his article, Durrett quotes Southland Conference Commissioner Tom Burnett, who says the NCAA would work with "local officials and ESPN" to shift the date of the game in 2011, since it would be head to head against the Cotton Bowl.

All other things aside, I don't go along with the implication of this statement:

"Before Chattanooga 'nurtured' this game, the FCS championship was just some hole-in-the-wall game in West Virginia that wasn’t even a blimp on the radar screen."

I do not think the fact that the game was in Chattanooga has been a factor in the extent to which the game has shown up on the national "radar screen." And I don't think that the game being in Chattanooga "nurtured" it to any degree greater than it would've been "nurtured" anywhere else.
