Stony Brook is hosting. JMU got in at 7-4.

Comments?

This sucks.

What?! We got SCREWED. How could the committee leave us out? We almost beat BOTH those teams!

I've decided to be a Stony Brook fan, with ODU as a backup. If my teams never win the big one, I'll find some other underdog that will!

Like to see Lehigh win it. They seemed like an old school team that just goes out and plays football. Also would like to see SB do well. Playing like they did yesterday, they could make some big noise and they are on a roll.

Lehigh is a very average FCS team playing in a terrible conference. I see them making an early exit and have 0 chance to win it all. I do hope SB does well. Their running game is excellent and the know how to tackle and break tackles. Very well coached too.

ODU!

Guess who has a 50 yd line seat 20 rows up for Saturday's game? This guy.

I'm not sure, but I think that Lehigh crushed their first round opponent in the playoffs last year.
After this season, I would think that all LU fans would have learned to refrain from downgrading other teams. Lehigh would probably win 4 out of 5 with us; we probably would have been in the middle of the pack in the Patriot League. An example of an average FCS team playing in a terrible conference would be uhhh.... Liberty.
I've watched some clips from quite a few games, and teams like Lehigh and Stony Brook strike me as teams that are made up of guys who work and play hard. Coastal, Liberty... we seem to have more players who are trying to get on the highlight reels. I really liked what Priore said in the press conference; he hit the nail on the head.

Love this. This is so true. Just like in basketball, the free throw isn't sexy. But it wins games. Not highlight dunks.
