Both teams riding an 11-game win streak into this one with SFA getting no respect, major underdogs, which is what I like.

Will SFA have starting DB: #19 MICHAEL PATTERSON III 5-10; 168 (SO.) and DB: #1 CHARLES DEMMINGS 6-1; 190 (SR.) back for the quarterfinals as they were injured in the game against ACU?

Also, the nation's leader in punt returns WR: #9 BUGS MORTIMER 5-10; 177 (JR.)

Mortimer averages 22 yards per return and has scored 4 TD's on returns.

I am not sure about demmings and Patterson but I have heard that bugs will be out 4-6 weeks

Hate that Bugs is out. He has the ability to turn a game around. Not complaining about Harris returning punts mind you but him making catches and Bugs making moves is a winning deal.

In regards to the odds posted above.....I have a current dream scenario-----SFA defeats Montana St and then South Dakota pulls the huge upset at Montana.
This would lead to SFA hosting a semi final vs South D. I would not think twice about skipping my relatives annual Christmas get together and head to Nac.

I just confirmed my tickets for the game. Great seats (Section 111, Row 15)! Driving up from Denver and staying at my father-in-law's place which is conveniently in Bozeman! I'll yell as loud as I can for Jack nation...Axe 'em!

Jacks are a 10.5 point dog Friday night.

I like your optimism!

Also, just to add some fuel to fire, Montana State is already selling semifinal tickets.

If memory serves me well...I remember a basketball team that had zero chance of beating the number 1 team in the nation and how did that turn out?!?!? GO JACKS!

Fanatic are you up for another road trip as we did to Georgia Southern back in the 80's? Just kidding...not sure I could sit in a car that long again!

I'm not sure if it was this press conference or the one on Monday, but even our players mentioned something about attendance. Has anyone tried to reach out to the AD about the discrepancy?

I'm spitballing here….. guessing that student passes (free) were not counted. If you add the students, I'm guessing 3,000, we probably end up closer to 12,500

Me either, jboy. That was a fun trip, though, despite the eventual outcome. I still have the game program in my closet. Look at it occasionally. Great players on that team, just like now.

That's my guess. But the question is: why aren't we counting them? That's something the AD should address.

Agreed. The bigger picture of reported attendance seems to go like this:

Sam Houston reports 3700 at Shell Stadium - actual 370

SFA reports 8900 at HB - actual looks more like 12000.

I'm debating if I should email the AD about it. But I don't know if it would even be a worthy cause to fight.

My only guess as to why the attendance is so weird and they're not counting attendance is that they can't think of a way to accurately do it.

I recall when I was a student the ticket takers at Basketball games had clickers they would click for every student that walked in, and that's how they did it, but I don't remember football ever doing that so I think they used to just guess at student attendance for football.

You'd think they'd want to show that our football games are well attended now to further justify the building of a new stadium. To show we can sell it our on a consistent basis.

Exactly. I've been debating whether to ask the AD about it. But if there is any fight for it.

I think it's worth emailing the AD about if you want to head up that responsibility. Lol. It's not the first time this has happened and not only does it help justify the stadium, it helps with recruiting, encouraging student attendance and alumni attendance, and it gives the players something to be excited about when they see that number.

I think we are doing a disservice to everyone involved by recording it the way we do.

Yes, I remember the clickers, but I'm not seeing them anymore, and yes, I agree over estimate rather than under estimate on the attendance, geez, Tarleton State does it all the time.
