       Stony Brook gets screwed with the 2nd round matchup!  Shouldn’t
       surprise me, because football coaches(current/former) at all
       levels show they are some of the dumbest people on the planet on
       a weekly basis!
       Elon and New Hampshire would each have an easier matchup in the
       second round!

       So true. Stupid regionality. NCAA needs to end this
       regionality/locality BS. It’s the playoffs. Every program should
       be able to fly their team.
       [/quote]
       Not only that, but Wofford with their joke schedule of Big South
       and SoCon teams gets seeded despite needing double OT to beat
       3-8 Chattanooga and only beating 1-10 Gardner Webb by 3 points.
       What bull****.
       Get this though, the FCS committee chairman? Richard Johnson,
       the athletic director at Wofford  >:( >:( Such bull****. Totally
       no conflict of interest there being the committee chairman and
       getting your own program a seed which they don't deserve.
       If Heilbron was the committee chairman, do you really think we'd
       be unseeded and have to travel to JMU in round 2?? No friggin
       way. It's just as unfortunate for JMU though, because we're a
       WAY stronger opponent than they should be facing in the second
       round. They're number one and they have to face a team that was
       in the running for a seed in the second round?? They should be
       playing CCSU, San Diego, or Lehigh in two weeks as the #1 seed.
       Not us. This regionalization **** has to end.
       They say "no rematches," but of course Elon vs Furman is a
       rematch and guess who the winner plays?? WOFFORD!! Furman vs
       Wofford would be yet another rematch even though the committee
       tries to avoid first and second round rematches. Again, utter
       garbage.

       That stupid "400 mile radius" screwing everyone over with the
       match-ups. It is what it is. One game at a time.
       On to Lehigh @ the House LaValle Built!
       Set your calendars and lets get as many people out there as we
       can. Eat a lot of turkey and then pack some more calories for
       Saturday!
       Lets go Seawolves!

       Very Crappy bracket. Going to JMU the second round. No bye week.
       That sucks. I thought our team did enough to deserve it.
       [/quote]
       Not too bad considering they have an easier game in Lehigh than
       they would in Central Connecticut (New Hampshire's draw). Hard
       to say which SB team will show up on Saturday, so who they meet
       in the second round doesn't matter if they can't get past the
       first.

       Hmmm, seems like SBU didn't get the best draw.  Will play JMU in
       2nd round, if we beat Lehigh.   Is the assumption here that both
       Elon and NH had a better strength of schedule than SBU?  Maybe
       Elon, but NH finished at 7-4 vs. our 9-2.  Strength of schedule
       for NH compensates for a full 2-game lead over them in the CAA?
       Sound a tad flawed to me.
       In any event, congrats to SBU, let's take it one game at a time.
       Great to be in the playoffs again.

       AD of UNH is also on the selection committee. May be that’s why
       they get in over Delaware and get to face #4 rather than #1. I
       am still pissed.

       There ya go. These things are all decided by Athletic directors
       oftentimes of the schools involved and despite claiming that
       they "recuse" themselves out of discussions of their team, I
       don't buy that for one moment. They all have their biases and
       make things easier for their own program whenever possible.
       We need to get SH in on these committees.

       Duh, forgot about the NH head-to-head.  Clearly, location not an
       issue either here in the Northeast.  Sounds like politics as
       usual.  Just need to take care of business at home vs. Lehigh.
       The bullseye is clearly on the back of JMU, so looking ahead
       (prob not a good idea), there will be no pressure up at JMU.
       I hope Bolden and Bedell are both ready for Saturday.

       The upside though is that Lehigh is the weakest team in the
       entire field. Even weaker than non-scholarship Pioneer League
       champion San Diego. They've got a 5-6 record and we're at home
       in the playoffs. If we can't win that one then the whole
       coaching staff should be shown the door.

       There is politics inside each program & with the selection
       committee; UNH has a member on the board.
       We need to fix our playing calling & put together a sound game
       plan; last couple games it has been ineffective.  We got very
       lucky with this win; we were out played.
       Maine gave up 275 yards  per game in passing & if wasn't for
       that hell mary throw we would of only had 185 total yards in the
       air & our run game was terrible.
       Take away the 1 run for TD from 33# they average under 3 yards
       per carry; JMU is going to put up lots of points & they are
       going
       to run the ball.
       Who is calling the plays; i heard that P over rides the playing
       calling from the OC & P comfort zone in running inside off
       tackle.
       When you have the size we have use the big men in short
       yardage; you half to get them reps in practice to be efficient &
       they are not getting many reps in live scrimmage during the
       week; #5 was getting hammered in tight coverage over the middle
       & he doesn't have the size.
       The line has had issue the last 2 weeks; we should be using TE &
       getting the ball out in space more & we did not run 1 double TE
       set the whole game.
       We look horrible through 3 quarters & we got very lucky to walk
       away with this win.
       We have 11 players w 5-6 years of experience at D1 level; this
       is the primary reason why are were we are this year.
       Lot of politics going on; if you have a son in the program or
       your involved with sponsors w kids in the program & if your
       really think this team is efficient on the offensive side of the
       ball then it's time rethink your understanding of this game...
       We run 4 plays with different variations; 2 plays we run 50% of
       the time OFF TACKLE & 20-25 YARD FADE.   We have to many studs
       in the stable to be limited to this play calling......& at every
       position RB, WR TE we have players that are not always 100%
       efficient so cut the crap about certain players.
       Talking out of your A** ; some kids were coming off concussions
       & some times it takes weeks & sometimes months to get back to
       100%; 13# across the middle after last week...very scary call.
       Time to open up the play book & get these kids reps n practice
       so they are efficient in the games.  If we use these things to
       our advantage we will be hard to stop in the short passing game
       & run game & it will open up the deep ball.
       Size, speed, & quickness all are advantages when used correctly.

       You should be very careful about saying that on this board.
       There are a couple of people who take negative criticism of our
       coaches very seriously..  Coach P and others cant do wrong,
       ever!!!!!!!!!!
