ANOTHER REUNION. Armanti Edwards sees a lot of similarity between Appalachian State and Richmond. “They’re just like us, they know how it feels to win a championship.”
SOME ODDS. Wanna bet – App State +5.
WHAT URICH NEEDS TO DO. Good luck with that. Meanwhile, what were you doing Monday night?
YOU AIN’T BIG TIME TILL YOU HOST APP STATE. Which team is the defending champ again? – “I don’t think I’ve ever heard students be so excited for a football game, not only because it’s a playoff game and we’re playing a great team, but also, I think they like the night atmosphere. It’s going to be really electric out there.”
SPIDER, SPIDER, UNDER LIGHT. Walk through.
BUNDLE UP. The forecast – “Rain until late afternoon…then rain and snow late. Highs in the mid 40s. Temperature falling into the upper 30s this afternoon. North winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent. Cloudy with snow and rain likely early in the evening.”
Hells yeh! I can’t wait for 7pm.
I hope they have this stuff on loop in the locker room. LET’S GO APPS!!
22 degrees, snowing, and dropping to 11 in Missoula today. No way SF Austin will be able to hang with Griz in that weather.
* Today I give my ALL for Appalachian State
Round 2 Prediction by MTDRAGO
I needed a lot of time think about these games. Here goes.
Game 1 12:00 PM ET
William & Mary at Southern Illinois
Weather: 36F – 38F Sunny 10% Rain 5-8 Winds South or West
Series: Never Happen
Comments: William has a very strong defense. Southern Illinois has the only finalist runback on the Peyton List. Low scoring game. Close game.
Prediction: Southern Illinois 19 William & Mary 17
Game 2 2:00 PM ET
Stephen F. Austin at Montana
Weather: 19F – 23F Cloudy 40% Snow 8-10 winds North
Series: Montana 1-0: Montana 70-14 1995 3rd round of playoffs. In 1995, Montana won it all.
Comments: Montana will not do what they last week. Stephen F. Austin can not play in the cold or snow. TSN Prediction was 44-33 Montana. This will never happen. If Stepen F. Austin scores 33 points they could win, but I do not think so. Montana will not score 30 point in this game. It stays close, but its too cold for the Lumberjacks in Montana.
Predicition: Montana 27 Stephen F. Austin 24
Game 3: 3:30 pm ET
New Hampshire at Villanova
Weather: 30F – 35F 95% Snow 11 NNE
Series Villanova 10-9 Last Time New Hamphire 28-24 This year 2009
Comments: Cold, Cold, Snow, Blizzard. The team they score touchdowns will win. Field will not come easy. Anything beyond 20 yards may not even be attempted. A conference rematch and Villanova’s only lost of the year. A very good close game.
Prediction: Villanova 26 New Hampshire 23 OT
Game 4 7:00 pm ET
Appalachian at Richmond
Weather: 34F to 38F 30% Snow/Rain 11 winds NW
Series: Appalachian St 4-3 Last Time 2008 Playoff 2nd round Richomd 33-13.
Comments: Appalachian plays in the cold all the time. Richmond is not a custome to the cold. This is a rivarly, three years in a row. This will be an all out war. There will not winner. There will only a team that escapes with is leaves.
Prediction: Appalachian 24 Richomd 22.
I’m heading to richmond now! Let’s go apps!!!!!
Does anyone know of any viewing parties around Greensboro?
84-I passed on that info. yesterday in one of the comment threads. Go back and look under “Rematch II…” It’s a place called “REFS” in G’boro near the Village Tavern.
BEAT RICHMOND!!!!!!!!!!!
nice write up on the D from BR.

can’t believe FCS games are not on channelsurfering.com.
Grand Valley (D2) is on.
Watching So Ill, and W&M on Espn360. From what I’ve seen so far we could handle either one of these teams. They are small and slow. Some good defense on both sides though.
off to richmond! GO APP!
I’ll be a Wild Wings Cafe in Asheville. Anybody else?
refs in gboro im there
My chills have chills…
SQUASH THE SPIDERS!
Montana is underway.
I’m in Raleigh and unable to watch ESPN360 because we’re on TimeWarner here. Channelsurfing is also not listing any of the FCS games. Has anyone had any luck finding a site that will stream the game online?
drago, good analysis/predictions as always, along with the struggling English haha
don’t get offended, it just is what it is, I generally like your posts anyway
“There will only a team that escapes with is leaves.” Seriously?!
Strong showing by Bill & Mary today 24-3. As stated earlier, SFA cannot hang with Griz in the cold.
the apps lead richmond in most all of the major catagories on offence. I think armanti will turn it on in this game and the D will continue to play outstanding. ASU:21 UR:7 ARE YOU READY APP NATION!!!!!!!!
Missed the W & M game prediction there drago.
24-0…MONTANA…so far, no contest
that video made my tattoo get bigger.
the Griz looks good today….
We should be the Conf USA champions. Seriously, and there are some that say we aren’t ready for the next level. We would have beaten ECU if Armanti had been healthy.
Personally I don’t care whether we escape with our leaves or not, as long as we win the game.
Not the day for that Midwest…save it for next month.
How about those grizzlies? 38 to nothing at the half.
Maybe SFA will go all Montana on Montana.
The CAA has clinched a spot in the finals. Winner or Nova/New Hampshire plays Billy & Mary.
Couldn’t help myself. To see ECU kick Houston does make you salivate.
Nova vs W&M could be sick.
Grizzly, it’s not a matter of how well Montana is playing but more along the lines of how badly SFA is playing. How many times has SFA turned the ball over?
NO TURNOVERS for us today. Go neers
Why is Grizz on our message board while Montana is playing. I mean really.
48-0 Griz in middle of 3rd. Damn SFA, time to man up.
24-0 Nova…No close games yet…thought it was a strong top 8.
Griz, If we beat Richmond, let’s make a gentleman’s bet . . . if Montanna wins, I will go to egriz.com and take whatever you guys can come up with for one hour; and if we win, you get to come here and take what we can dish . . . How about it?
Orange – that’s not a very good bet on your part, because Griz lives on here anyway. Herbstreitsucks, to answer your question: If I didn’t know it already, I’m sure of it now – YOU HAVE NO LIFE if you’re on somebody else’s message board while your game is going on!!!
Grizzzy waiting to watch a real football game?
Who made that video? Who is narrating it? It sounds like the guy who played Bill Rawls in The Wire
