  • FCS Playoffs Round 2: UNI @ UC Davis
    Accuweather's minutecast show that rain will be starting at 12:17 p.m. That looks to be brief.

    Alright. I guess I have to ditch accuweather if they're this way off.
  • FCS Playoffs Round 2: UNI @ UC Davis
    My weather site is now saying rain on Saturday from 9am to 1pm and 4pm to 6 pm. What does yours say?
  • FCS Playoffs Round 2: UNI @ UC Davis
    I haven't compared different weather sites. I use accuweather. Perhaps I should research which sites are the most accurate? Better yet, perhaps you guys have already figured it out, and weather underground is the winner?

    I keep on seeing showers at 5 and 6 p.m. on game night or an equivalent of 0.04 inches of rain. That's not bad. Is it?

    "The mobile app doesn't let you pick your seat numbers (?, does it ?),"

    I think you're right. I had to open up a seating chart on my computer and figured out where i sat before to determine if I wanted the seats my mobile phone gave me.

    I also don't know why I can order the tickets via mobile but can't on my computer. Perhaps someone else can duplicate my results?

    I have mine as "will call," but I think both choices are available.

    Here are the updated Massey odds for winning the championships:

    School - Current - (Previous) - rough odds

    NDSU - 62.01% - (64.97%) - 2 to 3
    Eastern Washington - 17.41% - (16.09%) - 6 to 1
    South Dakota State - 8.45% - (7.01%) - 12 to 1
    Weber State - 4.67% - (3.40%) - 20 to 1
    UC Davis - 2.67% - (2.25%) - 40 to 1
    Kennesaw - 2.12% - (1.86%) - 50 to 1
    James Madison - 1.07% - (1.91%) - 100 to 1

    These are the only teams that have at least a 1% chance of winning.

    It's interesting to see NDSU and especially James Madison's chances decrease after round 1 games.

    Also, UCD's chances of winning against UNI has increased from 67.26% to 70.78%.
    Massey predicts the score will be 31 to 24 in UCD's favor.

    The online system did not work for me on my computer, but it was fine with my phone. I bought mine last Sunday.

    Any thoughts of the matchup after the Lamar-UNI game?

    UNI doesn't look as scary as I had thought. However, they're known to play very well and very awful all season.
    I thought their rushing game was pretty decent, and they look like they'll burn off the clock when they're ahead. I'm hoping they'll get a lot of three and out varieties of a rush, rush, pass, and punt.
    It sounds like their secondary and linebacker positions are their weaknesses due to injuries. I presume their defensive and offensive lines are good.
    I think Maier should have a field day against their secondaries, but I'm curious to see how we can stop their running attacks.
    We just need to get them out of field goal range, because their kicker is very reliable.

    Wow! That Lamar QB is awesome!
  • Week 13: FCS Playoffs - Round 1 Bye Week
    Lamar is pretty impressive so far... although their last TD will be called back according to announcers.

    We're all Lamar fans today, right?

    Weber State 3.40%

    Massey gives NDSU a 64.97% chance of winning the FCS title, so I guess -210 is within the ball park.

    There's a player participation chart in every box score:

    You would have to choose "Participation" in the pull down link.

    If accurate, I presume one can deduce which defensive linemen played in the game or not.

    I don't know much about Northern Iowa, so I spent time reading their message board.

    It sounds like the fans want to fire their coach for years. UNI has lots of talent every year, but they never seem to play up to their potential. It fits a pattern of being a 7-5 team, win the first game of the playoffs, and then lose the second round. Their fans are tired of that since UNI used to perform a higher level during their glory years.

    Their plays are a predictable run on first down, run on second down, then pass on third. (I don't know if that's true though.) They have a pretty good field goal kicker. UNI also has a reputation of being undisciplined with many penalties. They play very well against talented teams, and then play pretty badly against weaker teams. They're pointing this as the coach's fault.

    Their fans aren't a happy bunch. Nevertheless, they seem to like their playoff drawing.
