Friday Articles


Bruce Dowd has his weekly A10 Den article up .

The Springfield Republican has some Hofstra game info as well as some playoff material here .

The Hofstra Athletic Dept finally has their games notes up in pdf . Note link has been fixed.

Remember to watch the I-AA playoff selection show on ESPNEWS. The NCAA Tournament selection show will be held on Sunday, Nov. 19 at 1 p.m.

Steve Marcus the sports writer who dissed Hofstra and I-AA is unrepentant. Key quote "Play football at the highest level. Or not at all."

Nice that he would wipe out the hundreds of schools playing I-AA, DII, DII and NAIA. Of course there are lots of I-A schools that are not playing at the highest level. Why not have only the BCS teams play college football? :(
