GDT: @ UNI for the MVFC title!

Re: GDT: @ UNI for the MVFC title!

I think he's absolutely great.

I do too, he is an acquired taste though. Also, he does have a high pitched voice... I was watching a game called by a female and I could have sworn it was Tyler.

Re: GDT: @ UNI for the MVFC title!

UNI has some very good athletes but their style of play makes them look a little undisciplined. I heard one comparison that seemed to sum it up: UNI's football team this year is a little like a basketball team that is full of Jucos...sometimes its difficult to get them to play together even though the individual players can be good athletes.

I don't mean any disrespect or anything, and I know many of you will rip me and disagree too. I just am not a fan of Tyler Merriman's, (sp) play by play announcing. I will admit that it is primarily a matter of taste. His voice is too high-pitched for my liking but I do think his play-by-play could be much improved also. However, living quite a ways away, I only listen to him on the highlights of Jackrabbit football. That being said the football team I couldn't be prouder of.

No disrespect noted, and Tyler's pitch in his voice is higher than that of the past two voices Norm Hilson and Steve Emming. The first time I heard Tyler, he was doing a baseball game and he sounded like Vince Scully of the Brooklyn/LA Dodgers fame. Tylers wife was my nurse until she switched jobs, but I always talked sports with her every visit which was three months, and she told me, that Tyler had tapes and tapes of Vince Scully which he listened too often. Personally I like Tyler better than his two predecessors. He might be a little on the emotional side but we need that too. Yes I too am very proud of our team after yesterday. UNI might be down a bit, but they got some great athletes coming back next year.

Two of our 3 losses could be to FCS teams that wont make the playoffs. Our FCS loss doesnt look great since TCU is currently .500. The committee could easily not give us a seed.

We win vs Poly or ISUr and we are seeded. We dropped both so we are firmly on the bubble.

Cal Poly will be in and our ISUr loss doesn't look so back with how the Redbirds finished the season. In addition, SDSU have a win over NDSU and YSU who are both in, an MVFC title (shared with their #1) and we are 7-1 in our last 8 games (finish strong). The win over UNI looks big, scoring 45 on a team with one of the top defenses in the country, at their place. UNI won't be in the playoffs but they get a lot of respect within the FCS world. I expect we will get a 7 or 8 with UND getting the spot we don't get. I understand pessimism but Richmond getting beat yesterday and UCA getting hammered was YUGE!!!!!

Re: GDT: @ UNI for the MVFC title!

I think it was #75 but yeah that's all effort there. Game was over. I've got respect for him.

Soulek was absolutely gassed after that!

#75 was Cal Twait who the Jacks had offered.

On the int to salt the game, poor old #74 for UNI (6:05 mark)...gotta hand it to that kid, he gave it his absolute all to try to catch Soulek...almost wish he'da caught him!

Jacks are at #4 in the Sagarin and #5 in the Massey ratings, both updated after yesterday's games.

Re: GDT: @ UNI for the MVFC title!

I understand not being optimistic about a seed to avoid being disappointed, but aren't UCA and Richmond in exactly the same situation as the Jacks were a year ago ? The Jacks were widely considered to be somewhere in the 6 to 8 seed range, and got dropped after losing in Macomb. And that was in overtime to a playoff team. Both Richmond and UCA got hammered yesterday, one to a .500 team. If the committee shows any kind of consistency, both the Jacks and UND should jump those teams.

No, I'm talking #74, bottom of the screen.

I didnt even notice him! Both those guys gave max effort on that. Good for them.

Re: GDT: @ UNI for the MVFC title!

I can easily see the committee not putting SDSU ahead of UCA solely based on record (9-2 vs 8-3). Even with their FBS win, you and I know that's vs a drastically worse schedule. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the committee doesn't see it that way. Even with the schmucking UCA took today, it was vs a higher ranked team, and I can see them not dropping them due to that.

I can easily see the committee not putting SDSU ahead of Richmond as well. Same record, again, even with their FBS win, vs a lighter schedule. Because East Coast bias.

Add in that would mean UND would probably leap both as well, and that'd mean 3 Dakota teams seeded? Yeah, I can easily easily see them not seeding SDSU.

I'll sit and wait and expect to not be seeded and be very happy if I'm wrong, rather than be pissed that I was right.

I understand the skepticism, but honestly... Show me s scenario where we don't get a seed.
