    One of my brothers went to Delaware but that was a snoozefest on Friday night.

    How'd the Bison of NDSU do anyway?

    Never mind. They got beat in OT.

    Jeff has done a great job, no question. I sure didn't pick GSU as a playoff team at the start of the season, but I thought the Eagles would beat Wofford ... because of the crowd, because of Breitenstein's shoulder, because GSU is rolling and because the Terriers seldom win big games.

    I do think Southern's run ends this week, though.

    Eastern Washington vs. Villanova (Friday night, ESPN2)
    Georgia Southern vs. Delaware (Saturday at noon, ESPNU)

    Nova and Delware will win and three weeks later travel more than 1,400 miles each to play for the title in Frisco, Texas.

    Nova beat Delaware on the final Saturday of the season, in OT, just to get in the playoffs. That's a rematch I'd like to see.

    No one beats the Blue Hens twice in one season.

    Forgot to add, Dr. Gee would say that the players for the "sisters of the poor" schools do not take the full-scale demanding academics that the players from the BCS schools have to take so that impact of the expanded football schedule on the FCS students is not the same as the impact that an increased schedule would have on the BCS students.

    Nova will.

    My alma mater blew it. Lost to Delta in the first or second round; had an easy path to the finals, which would have been played at home.

    FireTerryBowden.com. Is that up yet?

    Well, if Baby got put in a corner, I guess anything's possible.

    Don't know if this has gotten much attention, but Eastern Washington All_America running back Taiwan Jones will miss this week's semifinal game after fracturing a bone in his foot last week. Jones ran for a career high 230-something yards against North Dakota State.

    He's quite a player and his absence will be a huge hole for the Eagles against Villanova, IMO.

    My freshman year, Ken O'Brien led the Fightin' Aggies into the Div. II championship game. Unfortunately he got hurt in the semi-final and did not play in the championship game. Of course that stellar performance convinced the Jets to take him over that under-achiever Dan Marino.

    Never heard that those playoffs impacted the football players' academic pursuits.
