Missouri Valley OOC In-Review

September 25, 2018September 25, 2018 Scott Lawson

TweetMissouri Valley Conference football games begin this coming weekend, so I figure this is a good time to do a quick review of what happened during the out-of-conference (OOC) games for each team. WIth the exception of South Dakota State, who had their game against Iowa State cancelled due to weather, everyone in the conference has played three games. For... Read More

FCS Championship Preview (the MVFC perspective)

TweetOh right…there’s still football. There’s one game left…the big one, the showdown in Frisco, the grandaddy of them…wait, sorry, that’s a different one. I’m pretty sure this is the matchup that the playoff committee had in their minds when they set up this year’s bracket. Defending FCS champion and currently undefeated #1 James Madison Dukes taking on the 5-time champions... Read More

MVFC – Playoff Semifinals in Review

December 18, 2017 Scott Lawson

TweetAlright…semifinals time…heavy hitters turning things up a notch. Was NDSU going to be able to shut down Sam Houston State’s strong passing attack (spoiler alert…they did).

TweetSemifinals…the penultimate weekend of football in the FCS…or as it would be known in the FBS…the entire playoff bracket. Thankfully we have a real playoff bracket to determine our champion. Whatever your disagreements are with which teams should have gotten the last few at-large spots, I think we can all agree that this is a much preferable way to go... Read More

MVFC – Playoff Week 3 in Review

December 11, 2017 Scott Lawson

TweetFour total games this week. Two were exciting…the MVFC games were, for the most part…not. Everyone reading this is probably pretty well aware already that both JMU’s win over Weber State on a last-second FG and SHSU’s defeat of Kennesaw State were pretty darn exciting games. Not going to bury the lede on this one, so I’ll just go ahead... Read More

MVFC – Playoffs Week 3 Preview

December 8, 2017 Scott Lawson

TweetWeek 3 of the FCS playoffs…the Quarterfinals. We are down to two MVFC teams left in the bracket now…the XDSU’s…Bison and Bunnies. At this point, pretty much all the “pretenders” have been eliminated. There are three unseeded teams still playing this weekend, but all three have had to win an opening round game, then upset a seeded team on the... Read More
