Richmond Spiders vs. UNI Panthers

[AZGrizFan]

Love ya, Hoagie. You're a cool cat for an easterner.

He's even a cooler cat in person. Especially for a CAA apologist.

Think D1B could take him?

Col is big, but he's old. Probably 70-75 years old, I'd say. I'm basing that on personal observation and the fact that he's got a LOT of gray hair. He walks all hunched over, so D might miss him in a crowd, but he's a bitch with that walker....tell D to look out for the blindside.

The difference will be this and this alone:

A bad wide-angle picture of the backs of a bunch of druggies? How's that gonna help UNI?

...also was in the military, so he knows that Ju-Jitsu, Hai Karate stuff...

Oh, wait. He was an officer.

Nevermind.

Count yourself in for a slap, too, Bucky.

[Col Hogan]

Ya know, you all can kiss my hairy, pimply, white azz...twice for the land-locked swabby...

And it's gonna be an all CAA final...

You all will go absolutely bonkers when that happens...

You better just send that Christmas card I sent you right back.....you're off the list...

Boy is it going to sting when the CAA doesn't get a single team in.

Did you squeeze the UMass hat you owe me into the envelope, too?

You told me you got that hat...

I paid for it...

And for your entertainment dollar, this will be the best game of the weekend...

Richmond wins by 4

[Cap'n Cat]

UNI by 18+

[Col Hogan]

You are letting the old homerism blind you, Cap...

But that's OK...that's why they play them on the field, and not these stupid boards...

[Willie]

Like I said on eGriz...I would like to see a Montana vs UNI championship game. So hopefully the 2 don't disappoint me.

Biggest disparity is kick returns. Don't underestimate the importance of kick returns. Kick returns cost SIU the game against UNH.

Special teams will be the difference.

[UNI88]

And don't you forget it.

Perhaps now you'll listen more closely when I say THIS:

Montana - 27
JMU - 21

But JMU can take heart in the fact that they will get 21, which is more than any of Montana's last NINE opponents can say...

Conversely, JMU has FAILED to hold ANY of it's last four opponents to below 24.

I think you get where I'm going with this.

AZ, that was against weaker western teams. JMU would have held all of Montana's last 9 opponents to less than 14 each.

[Cap'n Cat]

But that's OK...that's why they play them on the field, and not these stupid boards...

No, Hoagie, it ain't blind homerism. Win or lose, I love my Cats.

Most of my rhetoric is just ballast against CAA arrogance. And, if you look around on all these boards, rarely will you find an arrogant UNI fan.

Call it arrogance if you want...I understand. Sometimes, even I have to turn off the CAA "mantra"...

But in the end, you must admit it has been collectively one of the most successful conferences in recent FCS history...

And win or lose, I love my school too...but I've predicted their loss when it is apprent...doesn't mean I don't love them...

Yet, I'm mysteriously drawn to you.....

[Purple For Life]

My worn out, fat heart can't take another close game.

Me neither.

Got my ticket yesterday! So I'm going for sure. Won't make tailgating at Mulligan's as I work until 2, but I'll track some of you guys down.

[Purple For Life]

Cap, what you said is the Dome will be the difference...I say B.S....

Richmond is a team that has grown stronger and stronger each game...the Dome will have no influence on this game...

Agreed, it also seems like where Richmond has been getting better UNI has just been consistent...scrapping by, UNI is not invincible in the Dome as UNH has nearly beat them twice in two years and then getting blown apart by Deleware

No, we are not invincible in the Dome, but we do have an 80% winning record in there.

Rebecca,
You have my number, of course. If that doesn't work, look in the Dome where all the coeds have seemed to gather to get even a fleeting glimpse of the hunks that brothers, D1B and Cap'n Cat, are.

So cappy - how much DO you pay those co-eds for the fawning looks?
