I-AA Game of the Week - WEEK THREE

[CAA Flagship]

UNI vs BYE

What's a BYE??

[BDKJMU]

How in the hell did Hampton-ODU get 4 votes. There's ZERO credible arguement for that being national game of the week...

[SDHornet]

I voted for EWU vs. Montana but Sac St @ Weber should be another good one.

This. EWU @ Montana was my vote as well. With both WSU and Sac coming off terrible games, it could lead to a good watch as well.

You people from outside of Delaware obviously didn't get the message yet. The News Journal will eventually get someone's attention.

The University of Delaware/Delaware State University is THE Game of the Week.

Cripes, it's got two teams whose campuses are less than 50 miles apart. It's got two teams that are...uh, they share some of the same name. It has two fans bases that are...ummm, rooting for their team. And it has two adminstrations that want...well...a rivalry that will grow to be...oh, big. Yeah, big.

In addition, most of the the state of Delaware really cares about this...uh...rivalry...because it pits two teams that are...ummmm, 50 miles apart. That's slightly less than a world apart.

Care. Care a lot.

UNI vs BYE

It's what you can say to ODU's chances to win the CAA after Sept. 24.

[Wildcat Ryan]

I voted for Sacramento State @ Weber State, but it will most likely be EWU @ UM

[clenz]

Eagles @ the Griz hands down.
Would Eastern drop out of the top 25 if they went 0-3? Doubtful, but it's an interest thought for the defending champs.

Uh....yeah. They wouldn't be in my top 25 if they are 0-3 after Saturday.

mine as well

ZERO????? You must not be paying attention to that storm brewing in southeast Virginia.

We have a couple ODU posters here. And HIU 93 did make a brief appearance this week.

Why not. The game matches two 2-0 teams, there's only eight 2-0 teams left. They can see each other stadium's lights from their stadium. One team is putting the second longest win streak on the line, the other just busted another team's win streak. Both teams receiving votes and have something to prove. Sold-out game on TV, tailgating with crabcakes and frozen margaritas, game being played under the lights, two marching bands, great weather, sounds like the 1-AA game of the week to me in the 757.

Plus we need a little momentum before starting CAA play and taking our lumps.

Well, we got our own I-AA game of the week going on in the 434.

So if we lose one game, on the road to UD....we have no chance to win the caa? Are you saying you plan on UD going undefeated?

That's some interesting logic you have there. And for the record....I don't think odu is going to win the caa ha.....I just don't think a loss in game 1 of our first year in the caa....on the road, against a top 5 team in fcs....is going to end all hope for us having a good season. Call me crazy!

Dear crazy,

The "ha" in your post indicates that you recognize that humor can exist in some form. However, you are 81 posts into this thing and you haven't found the sarcasm meter.

One can always hope.

[Wedgebuster]

Coincidentally I will be in attendance at the 1-AA game of the week.

Care. Care a lot.

If the campuses were 50 miles apart at least one of them would not be in Delaware.

It's not game of the week material if one team has the potential to beat the other by 30 or more, guys.

I think UD/DSU might be closer than UM/EWU.

But, no, it's not the GOW and Cluck's post was complete sarcasm.

OK, never mind.

[GoAgs72]

I already had Eastern Washington at the bottom of my top 25 in the poll - they were my only 0-2 team and that was giving them credit for being the NC last year. No way should a 0-3 team be in any poll, anywhere, any time. I think the Montana game may decide the whole season for EWU.

FWIW, UMass made the quarterfinals one year after starting 1-3.

Should tell that to all the folks who are voting for an 0-2 team vs a 1-1 team out west.

It was sarcasm, but the schools are in fact 50 miles apart. People tend to forget that while Delaware is only 15 minutes across, it's two hours top to bottom.

I guess what I'm really trying to say is that the area of Delaware is 30 square minutes.

You mean the defending national champs vs one of the most consistent and well-supported teams in FCS? Yeah, real snoozer, JBB.
