The Aggies know about feeling "snubbed and left out" even with a 24 team playoff. We may have been #25 twice now in the eyes of the selection committee.

Wow...what a heartfelt and emotional press conference. The storied history of former Aggie players going on to become highly successful coaches continues.

Welcome home Tim Plough. Aggie Pride personified. Looking forward to the Shredville revival!

#1 SDSU is undefeated and looks to be the odds on favorite to win the championship. They did have 2 very tough games this season: a 20-16 win over Montana State and a 17-10 win over Southern Illinois. All of their other games were pretty much blowout wins. Anything can happen but they've become an annual powerhouse program and they'll be awfully tough to beat.

12/03 scores:

Fullerton 102 Stanton 52
Riverside 68 North Dakota 62
Hawaii 95 Central Arkansas 76

#4 Idaho 20 Southern Illinois 17 in OT

The Idaho FG kicker, who slipped and missed a game tying FG last year against Southern Louisiana in a playoff game that the Vandals lost 45-42, kicked the game winner tonight. This was the first playoff game in the Kibbie Dome in 30 years.

#2 Montana 49 Delaware 19 - Final

Idaho and Southern Illinois are going to OT after Idaho deflected a game winning FG attempt by SIU.

Idaho ties it up at 17 with 4 minutes to go.

12/02 scores:

Northern Colorado 75 CSUN 71
Idaho 85 Cal Poly 70
Long Beach 83 Sac State 73
Utah State 79 Irvine 69

Montana is rolling over Delaware 25-12 with 12 minutes to go in the 3rd

Southern Illinois 10 Idaho 3 at the half. Southern Illinois has almost completely shut down Idaho explosive offense.

I feel the same way. If Plough can juice up our passing game to the point that it's a legitimate threat and Lan Larison stays here for the next season, we could have a two headed monster on offense. Man, that would be a whole lot of fun to watch.

NDSU 35 #6 Montana State 34 OT - Final

NDSU blocks an extra point to send Montana State to a crushing loss.

Montana State 28 NDSU 21 at the end of the 3rd.

Montana State and NDSU are locked in a great battle.

#7 Furman 26 Chattanooga 7 - Finał
#1 South Dakota State 41 Mercer 0 - Final
#3 South Dakota 34 Sac State 24 - Final

#5 Albany 41 Richmond 13 - Final
#8 Villanova 45 Youngstown State 28 - Final

12/01 games:

Fullerton 64 North Dakota 54
San Diego State 63 UC San Diego 62

Too many TO's game after game also. It looked like frustration was beginning to set in for Turner. She's such a competitor and she played on the last team to get into the post season so I think these losses and the inability to finish games is not sitting well with her at all.

There's always the lure of the bigger stage with huge crowds and significant NIL money now. The whole college football landscape has changed and making money is the dominant driving force for many big programs and for many players alike.

12/02 Playoff Games:

Youngstown State @ #8 Villanova - 9 am
Richmond @ #5 Albany - 9 am
Chattanooga @ #7 Furman
Mercer @ #1 South Dakota State - 11 am
Sac State @ #3 South Dakota - 11 am
North Dakota State @ #6 Montana State - 12 noon
Delaware @ #2 Montana - 6 pm
Southern Illinois @ #4 Idaho - 7 pm

I think Larison would see a lot of playing time for a lot of major programs. He's that good.
