The national championship - harding vs ferris.

[Redwing]

The difference in coaching definitely showed up over the course of the year.
TA is the best coach in D2 and it isn't even close.

His on field is good. Some know why he isn't at the FCS level though.

Pretty disappointing that all 3 quarterfinal games are going to be blowouts. Here's hoping that at least Bemidji/MSU is a decent contest.

Unfortunately, next week's semifinal games are also going to be blowouts. Maybe Valdosta/Ferris will be a decent game in a couple weeks?

[Redwing]

I guess that chip on the shoulder that HU believes that they've been carrying is just too heavy. Congrats to FSU with moving on. Ouch, that hurt to type. ;-)

If Ferris can keep on getting QB's like they have now, they would be totally capable of competing in the FCS.

Well we already know that. They nearly beat Montana last year.

Their volleyball team is going to win the national championship this year. Their men's basketball team has been a powerhouse for years now. Their women's team is good, as well. They're good at everything. They clearly have the funds to put together top-notch athletic programs and keep their best players. Maybe they should just make the jump.

Lets have a rematch - We built every week from the week 0 loss.

Its the NCAA, they'll save a buck with us if they can.

Not sure it really matters. Maybe SR4 winner could be actually a nudge better team?

Harding: “Nobody can stop our ****ing antiquated offense!! We are the best damn team in the country! We can beat anyone, Alabama, Texas, Georgia. Bring ‘em on!”

Depends what the NCAA does with Valdosta/Ferris in seeding. The Bemidji/MSU winner is gonna be the #4 seed. I don't think distance matters to NCAA for the semifinals. Will be curious to see if NCAA gives undefeated Valdosta the #1, or Ferris with the SR3 gauntlet wins the #1.

They reseed for national semifinals. So it would depend where SU gets seeded. FSU would surely be #1 with the teams they’ve beaten.

Mankato is over 660 miles from Big Rapids, would be under 600 miles if the Car Ferries were still running for the season.

[FoothillBison]

Most disappointed I’ve been in a Harding team in a long time. Effort in the second half is embarrassing. FSU has the best team in the country. Good game.

[KleShreen]

Looks like Slippery Rock is up on California 21-7. Slippery Rock is about 450 miles to Big Rapids. Pretty sure the NCAA would pair them two schools up.

GV will have to figure out FSU's secret to keeping Oline guys off the injury list.

[bigmrg74]

Certainly don’t think giving up well 20 now was the plan, but typical MO for Harding first couple of Off drives. We are getting manhandled on both LOS. Even that being said we are one block away on scraping LB from breaking a few. But obviously have to regroup at half or we may get embarrassed. Kudos to Ferris so far

You guys sure you didn't have a bug running through the team this week? Maybe not the rona, but the flu or a norovirus perhaps???

[GorillaTeacher]

This is why there’s at least people saying Ferris should try D1. They look like a D1 team, especially up front.

You don’t see this kind of team in region 1, that’s for sure.
