We sometimes bash the YSU MBB program, but this is the basket where where they place their eggs. Congratulations YSU on a great season and making it to the FCS Championship in Frisco, TX. They'll represent the MVFC and play James Madison from the CAA.

I was going to go--went last year--but, the weather looks pretty rough. Right now (5:48pm) it is 25 degrees. Down to 16 tonight and then 39 for a high tomorrow. A great atmosphere at the game with a jet fly over and everything. Of course part of the atmosphere last year was the 15,000 fans from North Dakota State (out of 20,000 seats). For what it is worth I would take James Madison in the game. They beat NDSU at their place. NDSU beat Iowa early in the year. I'll be watching!
Wow, I can't believe that NDSU finally lost in the playoffs. Their trip down to TX was a yearly ritual. We would always notice a bunch of NDSU gear in DFW when this time comes each year. Congrats to YSU on concentrating on T&F/CC and Football ;).
Younstown's QB is a graduate of a neighboring high school and a really good guy. Here's a link to an article about him http://www.cleveland.com/pluto/index.ssf/2017/01/youngstown_state_football_play_1.html

Hunter Wells won the Elite 90 award in the FCS.
I think it will be a very competitive game as James Madison has been really hot.
BTW, I heard the Rose Bowl was a pretty good game ;)
Surprised that no one mentioned that YSU lost this game 28-14 http://www.ncaa.com/video/football/2017-01-07/fcs-championship-youngstown-state-james-madison (http://www.ncaa.com/video/football/2017-01-07/fcs-championship-youngstown-state-james-madison)
