Sam Houston State victorious in the Lone Star State.

Well, it's wet and wild in Frisco, TX today.

SDSU up 7-0, 2nd qtr. starting shortly.

Life marches on man...

Ha, so while the balance and quality of people are there for somebody in Davis, when you're shooting for the top of the top, it really is a sacrifice on your time and your life balance to get there and get a shot at it.

From The PuntFactory:

Right on Mr. Whelan!

It's going to be South Dakota State and Sam Houston State in Frisco, TX. Default home game for the Bearkats. The Jacks absolutely manhandled Delaware, it wasn't even close. SHSU has had the tougher run through the playoffs, but South Dakota State really is firing on all cylinders right now.

WHAT. A. GAME.

Quinn Meinerz, C/G for Div. III Wisconsin-Whitewater goes to the Denver Broncos at No. 98 Overall. Guy's quite the character, a true Wisconsin outdoorsman and a non-stop mauling beast!

North Dakota State blind side protector Dillon Radunz went No. 53 overall to the Titans. Dillon had a very good week at the Senior Bowl and gained a lot of steam throughout the prospect process.

Northern Iowa's towering right tackle Spencer Brown goes No. 93 overall to the Bills.

Southern Illinois at #1 South Dakota State
North Dakota State at #2 Sam Houston State
North Dakota at #3 James Madison
Delaware at #4 Jacksonville State

I think North Dakota might pull it off, but that's a hell of a road trip...I'm assuming they're flying into D.C. and then driving for 2-1/2 hours to Harrisonburg...but maybe there's a charter strip near JMU.
