2011 D2 Football thread: Or how I still hate Trev Alberts!!!!

And the finals are now set for next weekend. Wayne State continues their improbable run and knock off previously undefeated Winston-Salem State in North Carolina to earn their bid to Florence. Facing them on the other side of the field will be Pittsburg State from Kansas. The Gorillas beat the Delta State Statesmen at home last night in a sloppy turnover plagued game.

Great game to watch, decent crowd was on the edge of their seat for most of the fourth quarter. UMD made too many mistakes and Wayne State played very well and took advantage. Too bad the year has to end now, but another conference title and quarterfinal appearance is a very good season. Props to Wayne, I hope they win it all.

They had better at least win next weekend. All of us Super Region 3 teams will never hear the end of it if they're the first team to lose to a Super Region 1 school in the playoffs.

I only listen to the first half, it sounded like UMD was getting a bit flustered there with Wayne State.

Wayne State - 31
UMD - 25

Final.

UMD had the ball and a chance with 7 seconds left, but the hail mary was knocked down in the end zone.

You could see this coming, but I wish they had kept him around.

Ferris State is also coach shopping as well right now. And rumor has it Winters at Wayne State is a favorite to become the new coach at Akron. Then again, there's still some there that are holding out hope that they could get Tressel there for the Zips....

Word now has it that DJ Winfield is going to suit up for UMD this weekend. He had something come up last fall about this time, a drug test I guess, and his year is up, and UMD is going to plug him in this year.

UMD beat the "# 1" team in the country, CSU-Peublo today 24-20. CSU scored on their first possession and then did nothing the rest of the game. After UMD took a 10-7 lead, they had a bad shotgun snap for a 20+ yd loss and a TD recovery in the endzone for a 14-10 halftime lead for the home team. After an even 3rd qtr, UMD drove down the field and threw a pick in the endzone. They stuffed CSU and took the next drive in for the lead. The defense stuffed them again and took it down inside the 20 before being able to kneel down on the ball for the win. That will give the Bulldogs a home playoff game next week!!! Wow, didn't see that coming.

Not a bad showing at all from Pueblo, who is just a four year old program right now. With Nebraska-Kearney leaving the RMAC for the MIAA next year, I think that CSU-Peublo is going to own the RMAC for some time now.

Wayne State is smoking Nebraska Kearney 31-0 at the half. The Lopers haven't been able to do anything right in the Nebraska wind. Turnovers and incomplete passes.

UMD at pueblo should be under way as well right now.

Re: 2011 D2 Football thread: Or how I still hate Trev Alberts!!!!

That's worse.
Knew they were one dimensional, still couldn't stop it.
Yuck.

I don't think it was that they totally couldn't throw the ball, just that Pounding the Rock is where they really did the damage on offense. Then again, I never did get to see WSU in person this year, so that is kind of a second hand opinion here.

Was kind of surprised that Duluth let Saggy back into the game with them like that. Would have thought that the bulldogs would have been better than that by a long shot. Going to be really interesting next weekend with Duluth going to Pueblo to play in the Thunderwolves first playoff game. Not bad at all for a pretty much brand new start up program that restarted football back in 2008.

[First Time, Long Time]

Wanye state lived on running the ball all year, and with the weather there today, they weren't going to go much to the air unless they had to.

That's worse.
Knew they were one dimensional, still couldn't stop it.
Yuck.

Nice!

Figure it was nice of the NCAA to let Cal host that laugher as well.

[mookie1995]

Just starting in on the 3 quarter, Duluth is up on Saggy 17-14.

At the half, Wayne State has turned their road graders on and are giving the Husky's all they can handle there on the banks of the Mississippi 27-24.

And just for Mookie, a final score here.... California of PA gives Elizabeth City the Vulcan Anal Probe 44-Nil.

Nice!
