Richmond Blows Montana out for National Championship!

December 20, 2008

I hope you were watching the FCS National Championship instead of flipping back and forth from that to the Lakers game.  I swear I was watching the game and it was tied 0-0 and I change it to the Lakers game and watch 9 minutes of the game and change it back…but this time its 14-0 Richmond.  I changed it back and forth until I finally decided to watch the Lakers for a while.  I change it back and its half time…21-0 Richmond.  Jesus, can Montana start out any worse than they had??? Well considering Richmond is 21-1 when leading at halftime, I knew it was going to be hard for the Grizz to get back into the game.  Sure enough, it was a pretty rough second half and the final score…Richmond 24 Montana 7.  Montana played some hard nosed defense in the second half only allowing 3 points, but the Grizz just couldn’t get it going on the offensive side of the ball.  When it comes down to it, the problem the Montana Grizz had for most of the game were the turnovers.  2 turnovers will kill you when the other team isn’t coughing up the ball.  I cannot wait to see Eric Ward at the next level.  He is the perfect player for the Wildhog offense.  He reminds me of a Michael Vick but without the dog fighting.  Look for him to go pretty high in the draft.  Possibly even a first dayer.  He had 165 all purpose yards including throwing a touchdown pass, catching a touchdown pass, and rushing for almost 50 yards.  Bergquist was great between the 20’s but coughed the football up with one interception but had over 250 yards passing on the night.  Richmond also had 7 sacks on the night which still has Bergquist shaking in his little space booties.

2008 Division 1-AA Playoff Bracket (Updated for Championship)

November 24, 2008

Division 1-AA playoffs are here and boy do I have a treat for you.  I have photoshopped a bracket for you.  Check it out and tell me what you think and who you think is going to win!  Here is your 2008 Division 1-AA Playoff Bracket.  It looks to be a great match-up in the championship as I believe Montana will probably win the national championship.  James Madison tried to come back in the 4th quarter against Montana but just didnt have enough in them to finish the game.  They couldnt convert on a final 4th down.  One of the highlights of the game was JMU’s quarterback going airborn on 4th down to get into the endzone.  They are crazy up there at James Madison.  The problem that Montana has is Richmond can easily come back and win the game.  They were able to score 14 points in the 4th quarter to beat a better Northern Iowa squad.  I thought for sure the game was over after the huge 17 point 3rd quarter that Northern Iowa had.  Richmond is the real deal though.  Its going to be interesting to see how that whole situation turns out.
