    Add this to the long list of annoying comments by this guy. What about the “TEAM” you popped off about? No “stars” was an advantage. Idiot.
    Look in the mirror and you shall find the King of the Idiots! Hail to the King.

    • Unfortunately it went how I expected it to go. ASU special teams was bad and made mistakes while Mines played a clean game (only time I can think of they weren't on a play that should have been a turnover, the officials bailed them out). If both could do that ASU would win by a couple TDs. It's all on the coach though who didn't keep Wilcox in to return punts. Also got some bad breaks, like with the questionable fumble at the beginning and obvious ball going off the Mines defender on the punt recovered by ASU but not awarded to them. Too much to overcome.

        Shepherd's QB is good but they're not going to be within 14-17 points of Mines. There's no one in Region 1 close to Mines (the PSAC board might not agree, but they'll see soon enough). New Haven would have beaten Shepherd in the first round if they had a better offense.

        Wonder how Ferris fans are feeling now that West Florida is going there.

          Yep, can't lose turnovers 3-0 at this time of year.

            They are happy to be hosting.

            Long range weather looks to be sunny and 40 degrees up there so that could be a break to West Florida.

              Also how odd the region has changed over the last 10-15 years. People would have laughed you off this board if you told them any RMAC team would host a semi final and be a 2 touchdown favorite.

                I wonder if there is a correlation between population growth in Colorado, or if the increased success of RMAC teams at the national level is driving better recruiting. I believe this is the second time the RMAC is hosting a semifinal.

                  I think the biggest deal is the RMAC allowing teams to compete with 36 scholarships if they choose.

                    Could be. UWF went to IUP one year and won, so that might be a weather break. Ferris, on the other hand, that's definitely not going to be a break!

                        Really? CSUP was REALLY good '10, '11, and '12.

                          Here's a little secret: compare the school's infraction policy for marijuana usage. RMAC schools minimal if nothing. WT's is horrendous.......might as well be 1985. Times have changed, some schools haven't. 2022 kids know what's going on and some don't want to risk athletic careers because of draconian weed policies.

                            And the number of D2 programs in Texas (down to five from nine just ten years ago) The recent additions to the FCS ranks from the LSC and then the schools that have gone from FCS ranks to the FBS is making in state recruiting harder for D2 schools . Midwestern is going to have a harder time competing for recruits in the DFW area thanks to Tarleton, ACU and Commerce making moves along with the existing FBS schools. TAMUKs job is going to get harder as UTSA continues to elevate itself and UIW makes strides. Now they will have UTRGV to south as an FCS school to make it more competitive to recruit. D2 football will be a thing of the past here in Texas within 10 years.

                              They were but they were outgunned athletically in the regionals until the mid 2010s.

                              That playoff game WT won against them in Pueblo in the quarterfinals in 2012 was never in doubt and you could see the difference in talent.

                                Completely agree especially for Kingsville.

                                They will have to go FCS or D3 to avoid going to the RMAC or GAC to have teams left in Texas to play.

                                Talk about some long road trips.
