I'm not surprised either, 'gate80, but it's an unfortunate circumstance/disservice to those who play for 'Gate. I'm curious, however, if our players would prefer the playoffs in front of 17,000 fans at JMU or at home in front of 3000 fans at Colgate? Perhaps they are just thrilled to be there and it doesn't matter?

Very proud of the Raiders right now...traveling across the country for the 3rd straight weekend against another ranked team in a hostile environment. So impressed they've made it this far.

Regarding the third playoff game in 2003 the decision not to bid for it was made by the football coaching staff. They had the go ahead to bid if they wanted to. After the two snowstorm games it just seemed prudent to go down to FL.

The trip to FAU worked out just fine. Go Gate!

I second this. I asked Biddle about this and he said it himself. Biddle and the coaching staff treated it like they were going south for a bowl game. The reality of Colgate Football is that the players like to play on the road. If you ever get a chance to speak with any of them, they will tell you that. Other than being accustomed to the weather, I don't think the players see the Kerr Dome as a big advantage.
