The quarterfinals are this weekend. My alma mater, James Madison (4), takes on Sam Houston State (5) in Harrisonburg tonight at 7pm on ESPN2. These are the two highest scoring teams in FCS so it should be quite the shootout. Gonna be a cold night in the valley. I have a couple friends going. I was invited but can't make it.
University of Richmond plays Eastern Washington on that hideous red field tomorrow at 4pm on ESPN3.
JMU and U of R are the local teams (for me) so I know more about them than the others. The other side of the bracket has North Dakota State (1) vs. South Dakota State (8) at noon tomorrow on ESPN and Youngstown State vs. Wofford at 2pm on ESPN3. Don't know a thing about any of those teams.
Anybody interested or watching? I'll definitely be watching tonight. But if JMU wasn't in it I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be.

upset JAX State last week
I believe Avery Moss, who was kicked off Nebraska team for showing his dick to a convenience store clerk, plays for them as well as LeRoy Alexander who was booted for "team violations"

He was a senior on the championship team. Was a pretty awesome experience which he talks about a lot. He was teammates with former Eagles lb Akeem Jordan. That team played a real good VTech team close that year. It's pretty amazing to see how much the program and stadium has grown through the years. The game day experience there is better than a lot of Div 1 schools. Still kind of shocked they haven't made the move to FBS.

S Houston consistently has a potent offense. So too does JMU. Should be a great matchup. > >University of Richmond plays Eastern Washington on that >hideous red field tomorrow at 4pm on ESPN3. > >JMU and U of R are the local teams (for me) so I know more >about them than the others.

I'll be watching as much as I can. I follow FCS football a lot. All these teams are good and have lots of postseason experience. The only wildcard to me is Wofford. NDSU remains the team to beat.

Almost assuredly, they will be playing NDSU at the Fargo Dome next week. That *should* be an incredible matchup and game. Very much looking forward to it.
