All 4 Coastal Athletic teams that got into the playoffs played today, #9 seed Richmond, their best, got beat by Lehigh, their worst, New Hampshire, got blown out at home by UT Martin, Rhode Island was played tough by CCSU and Nova held on to beat Eastern Kentucky. Not feeling the CAA right now.

If Montana doesn't win soundly tonight - you'd have to say that the mid-tier of the Big Sky doesn't look all that hot either.

...or tonight.

Tennessee Martin crushed New Hampshire, I mean that was a job well done. The only non-FG points scored by UNH were on a Kickoff Return.

Nova firms up and overcomes Eastern Kentucky
Tarleton whoops Drake
Abilene Christian shuts out the Jacks

What can Tennessee State dial up on Montana?

So far these playoffs, the Big Sky has scored 0 points.

I want to see the playback on the Lehigh / Richmond game so bad.

I'm a huge movie buff, and my hard disc collection started in earnest going to that old Tower Records location in Davis. They had a huge selection of films, and music of course, inside that place, used to go there for at least an hour each time I went. Such a cool place, miss it.

It's not uncommon, after a Thanksgiving haze, that games aren't played that crisply in Rd. 1 --- that's why first round BYEs are so huge...you give yourself the break to not only heal, but bypass the holiday then get back to work afterwards for the Round 2 game.

Rhode Island through
Illinois State through

It is, they're wrong, shocker.

SEMO is using that silicon-based kitchen lubricant that Clark's company was working on in Christmas Vacation.

Eastern Kentucky up 14-0 quickly on Villanova

CCSU and Rhode Island now tied up at 14.

this is brutal!

SEMO roaring out of the gate in the 2nd half

Let's see if SEMO can pull themselves together...they are at home, however, they've been on a downward trajectory this last month of football.

What is going on? wow, in a playoff game?

Oh Dear

Game kicks off early today. 9 am PT if I am reading this correctly.

The Georgia Tech / Georgia game was the craziest game I ever saw.

I think Illinois State is going to take it, but I also think they'll need to put up 35+ to do it.

All hands on deck for Round 1.
