Any small college football fans out there

Bastage! I never went 0-fer. Yes, there were a couple of 1-fers, but it's that damnable bonus points BS that screws me up. I'll see those bonus points on an underdog and get suckered into picking it. Damn the bonus points. I will now mock you in sonnet (Italian form)...

Damn thee, Jay Farrar, picker of D-3 football games
How dare you mock me, winner of your cash in the March Madness pool?
Oblong spheroids with bonus points are your forte, in basketball you look a fool!
Enjoy your ill-gotten gains ... if you have no shame

 

Yep ... going to get that put on a t-shirt.
Brilliant!

 

Delta State's my pick.
I covered the program when it won its first-ever Gulf South Conference title in the late 90s.
Go Fighting Okra !!

 

I-AA: Montana over App. State in the final

DII: Northwest Missouri State over Grand Valley

DIII Mount Union over Wis.-Whitewater

I saw Whitewater play Mary Hardin-Baylor in October in Texas. UWW ran the opening kickoff back 90 some yards for a touchdown and won 7-3. One of the best defensive battles I've seen in awhile at any level.

However, Mount Union, accoring to a friend who has seen them, is "Oh My God" good. This is possibly the best team they've had there since they started owning Division III.

My picks, for what they're worth.

Montana. For the love of god, don't pick against Montana at home.

Appy State.

Grand Valley State. Loaded.

UWW -- they knocked out the Tommies, IIRC, and anyone who does that is pretty solid.

 

Johnnies, not Tommies.

 

Told you.

 

He did indeed.
I was at the bar cheering as hard as I could against Montana, especially knowing Sportschick was rooting for the Grizzlies.
All I know is, as a Washington State fan, it was about time someone besides Cougars fans had to suffer throuh Josh Fucking Swogger throwing awful interceptions. Way to go Josh!

 

Don't forget his fumble for the safety when he should have airmailed it to the Montana sideline when he first got away.

 

And his final interception on what should have been either: A. a throw downfield that only his WR could have caught, or 2. a throw out of bounds.
Instead Swogger threw it short and it was picked off, as though he threw it to the DB.
Way to go Josh, it was almost like you were back in the Apple Cup pissing away a game against the awful UW.
