Well I am excited and have been since we beat ISUred! Seems like the team has gained a whole lot of "mo" in the last couple of weeks. I like this team and I like the men on this team. I think the coaching staff is class too. My wife and I traveled with the team to Coastal and the Necks were absolutely "great young men!" I would rather stay away from the 8th seed basically because the road leads to JMU. Lets just see what happens! jc

I believe we get the 8th seed or we go to possibly samford in the 1st round with a possible match up with a southland team in the 2nd round.

Yea, if we didn't get the #8 seed, we were almost assuredly going on the road. We can't compete financially with most other FCS schools in the bid process.
It sucks, but that's what it is. I do think we have a fairly favorable matchup though.

I think that's one reason people were hoping for us to be seeded. We'd have had a bye week, and our first game would then have been at Hanson Field. You win some, you lose some. I think the players would tell you they're happy to be able to continue in the post season, regardless of where it is; so my thoughts that it kinda stinks not to have the game here doesn't really matter for much.
