Tomorrow: the rest of the playoff conferences.

I believe Sneed's rushing performance was also 8th best all time at UM.

And Sneed did it wearing a Dave Dickenson throwback jersey.

So Sneed runs for over 200 is the best, but Portland State letting TA and the Cats do it is the worst?

Doing it against Sacramento State is an accomplishment. Doing it against Portland State is expected.

Exactly. My thoughts were that losing to MSU by 20 at home was a hair worse than losing to EWU by 53 on the road.

And Sac State is way better than Portland State.

From a Portland State perspective, to quote Jerry Reed--

"It all sounds sort of funny, but it hurts too much to laugh".

So both defenses did not show up.I know a person on Twitter who said the Tigers allowed too many big plays.

There has been a bunch of hay made over that kickoff return, but anyone who saw the game knows it was in the bag even before the return. Mercer’s D was as gassed as I have ever seen a defense. We would have won in overtime if we hadn’t driven after the kickoff. The last half of the 4th quarter they couldn’t stop anything

Well, OK, but we're talking about the bottom of the top-25 here. Those are the types of teams that should go there.

Also, Austin Peay lost only 1 FCS game last year.

Well, OK, but we're talking about the bottom of the top-25 here. Those are the types of teams that should go there.

Also, Austin Peay lost only 1 FCS game last year.

I get that, but I hate participation medals and a vote for AP at 22, 24, 25... is either a sympathy vote, a participation medal vote or simple a lazy vote by a voter that sees a good record.

IMO, and I get it's only opinion, AP would be 6-6 or 5-7 at best with a MVFC or CAA schedule.

One would have thought that Super Dave's number would have been retired by now....

It is. He wasn't wearing the number, just the colors. And they weren't really throwback jerseys, either, they were just modern uniforms with throwback colors.

Aggies pull away from Bulldogs 31-16!!!!!
