It wasn’t even Thanksgiving weekend though. Just like this year, we had a bye the weekend of Thanksgiving. That game was Dec 7 last year.

Man I didn't realize we only drew 6400 for that game last year. That's pathetic.

I think somebody might have mentioned it but rest is huge here. Yes, it kind of sucks that if we win our game, we get NDSt in the QF, as opposed to, say, a 12 or 13 seed where you avoid NDSt and the Montanas until the semis. But even eliminating the fact that we can't lose this upcoming weekend because you can't lose a game you don't even have to play, the fact that our guys get a week to recover while our opponent has to play is massive.

There have been rivalries that have died because teams switched conferences, like Texas-Texas A&M. Though that one renewed last year with Texas moving to the SEC. Kansas-Missouri as well, though they played an out of conference game this year also.

Got it, thanks! When I looked an hour later the seats weren’t available for purchase so I figured that meant the transaction went through. But I wanted to be sure.

How long does it take for the tickets to show up? Ordered them a couple hours ago, got the text and the email, but when I click on the link, it doesn’t show my order or the tickets.

For those that go to games, is the view from the front row okay? I'm tall so I usually like getting aisle seats but there are some front row seats in 124 available. Just wondering how the viewing experience might be from there.

That's a really weird time. But it's also on the UCD website now too.

One thing they mentioned on the AGS forum was that every game was at Noon local time. So I wouldn't be surprised if the times aren't accurate.

I’m sure they’re a solid team and the game, if we play them, won’t be easy. But they only played 1 of the other 4 teams in their conference that had a winning record (we played 3 of the other 4) and they have a loss to a 5-5 Ivy League team.

Massey has us 7th in FCS with the 9th hardest SOS (I’m assuming that doesn’t count the Mercer game either). Rhode Island is 20th with the 79th SOS. Central Conn is the 78th ranked team with the 112th SOS. I guess that’s why they’re playing the 9 seed.

Sagarin (which includes FBS teams) ranks us 19 spots higher and 62 spots higher in SOS.

The only “go go go” Sac will be doing the next couple weeks will be their players go go going into the transfer portal.

I’m choosing to believe us getting a bye is the universe evening things out a bit after we got screwed over in 2022 (and maybe 2023).

North Dakota St if we win our game in 2 weeks.

LOL Sac wasn't even one of the first four out, which isn't surprising but still funny.

Man that Montana pod seems rough. You're the 3 seed and you get South Dakota St in your first game and then likely either South Dakota or Mercer after.

They went 10-2, 8-0 in the CAA but missed both Villanova and Monmouth (top-10 to 15 teams). Also lost to a 5-5 Brown team by 7. So the SOS is pretty weak.

Montana gets the winner of South Dakota St-New Hampshire.

It shows 3 p.m. ET under our game on the bracket.

That game will be at Noon? That's earlier than I would have thought.

Glad we missed a MVFC team in that game.
