Joining me is Head Coach Mel Tjeerdsma of Northwest Missouri State, where the Bearcats played an incredible football game this past weekend in Ellensburg Washington, where the Bearcats beat #1 ranked Central Washington 21-20 thanks to a blocked extra point with six seconds to go to give the Bearcats the win.

This Saturday the Bearcats host California, PA. in the semifinals as the Bearcats look to advance to the finals of Division II football for the fifth year in a row. Tjeerdsma talks about the last week’s win and how Central Washington watered down the field to try to slow his offense down. Plus, coach doesn’t say it, but I question some of the officiating that allowed Central Washington to even get that close to tie the game.

This Saturday’s semifinal game can be seen on the CBS College Sports Network. Check your Dish or Cable provider for more details. This will be a great game, make sure you check it out.
