Its always interesting to watch the results achieved by teams that the Cats recently played. Buried in the back of today's Chicago Tribune was the game wrap-up of the first round FCS (1-AA) match between SIU and UNH.
The UNH Wildcats came to Evanston in 2006 and pummelled the Cats 34-17. Fans were shocked, but UNH has been a traditional powerhouse in 1-AA, and as the last couple of years have shown, a strong 1-AA team can knock off a 1-A team (google on Toledo and Appalachian State for more :-) ).
This year, the Cats played the SIU Salukis in Evanston, and the result was better, with the Cats the victor by a 33-7 margin.
Yesterday, UNH beat SIU 29-20 to advance to the second round of the FCS playoffs (Obama would love 1-AA). Good to see both our past victims, and our past conquerors, doing well.
