Konsolen Treiber » with dominance on the FCS level, but New

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - North Dakota State, Eastern Washington and Montana have come to be associated with dominance on the FCS level, but New Hampshire, under 2014 Eddie Robinson Award winner Sean McDonnell, is the most consistent of the national powers. The Wildcats have made the national playoffs in 11 straight seasons and been nationally ranked in 154 straight polls. The next-longest runs are five straight playoff appearances and 71 straight rankings. To further accentuate the job head coach Sean McDonnell has done in keeping UNH at an elite level this season, the Wildcats overcame injuries to their No. 1 quarterback and running back as well as at some other positions. Yet after losing to FBS member Toledo to open the season, they went on to win their final 10 regular-season games, including all eight in CAA Football to win the conference title, and reach the No. 1 ranking for the first time since 2006. They also earned the top seed for the 24-team FCS playoffs, where they have reached the national semifinals this weekend. The kids that have played have earned it in practice and weve been very, very adamant as coaches and a staff of explaining this to the kids, McDonnell said, that youll get your playing time and it will be deserved on how well we practice and what you do day-to-day out there. In claiming the Robinson Award as the national coach of the year, McDonnell becomes the third two-time winner after former James Madison coach Mickey Matthews and former North Dakota State coach Craig Bohl. The 58-year-old McDonnell, a 1978 UNH graduate, also won in 2005. Coach Mac has been UNHs head coach for 16 seasons after serving eight seasons as an assistant coach. This is the sixth season in the last 11 years the Wildcats reached at least 10 wins. McDonnell received 46 of 160 first-place votes and 399 points from a national panel of sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries. Coastal Carolinas Joe Moglia was second and Harvards Tim Murphy third among 21 finalists. There were 160 ballots cast in the 2014 Eddie Robinson Award voting.

Nathan Eovaldi Jersey .com) - Brad Stuart has yet to play a regular-season game for the Colorado Avalanche, but that didnt deter the club from signing the veteran defenseman to a two-year contract extension on Monday. Wilson Ramos Jersey . Terry came from Boston along with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce but has appeared in just 35 games after a knee injury, averaging 4.5 points on 36 per cent shooting. Evans was a favourite of fans but not coach Jason Kidd, who used him in just 30 of their 51 games. http://www.officialraysgearshop.com/Rays-Alex-Cobb-Kids-Jersey/ . The 27th-ranked Austrian underwent surgery on a torn tendon in October and needs more time to recover, the Austria Press Agency reports on Saturday. Adeiny Hechavarria Jersey . Diego Costa headed in Gabis corner seven minutes from time to secure victory ahead of the return match in Madrid on March 11. "We know that at Madrid it will be another game, which will also be important and very difficult," Milan coach Clarence Seedorf said. Dustin McGowan Jersey .com) - The Los Angeles Kings werent playing their best hockey before the league went on break during the Winter Olympics.NEWARK, N.J. - With less than half the season to go, the New Jersey Devils are in danger of missing the playoffs for the third straight year and for the fourth time in five.Coming out of the all-star break, the teams chances dont look good. New Jersey (17-22-8) is in 14th place in the Eastern Conference, 15 points out of a wildcard spot with 35 games to play. It has to jump over six teams in less than three months.There are positives. The Devils will play 21 of 35 games at the Prudential Center, starting Wednesday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The team (5-5-1) also seems to be playing better since general manger and president Lou Lamoriello, and assistant coaches Adam Oates and Scott Stevens took over for the fired Pete DeBoer in late December.Weve got to build off what we did before the break, said goaltender Cory Schneider, who has a .920 save percentage. I think it comes down to consistency, night in, night out. ... We have played against good teams and beat good teams, and we have also shown if we dont come ready to play teams will make us look really bad.The Devils record (17-22-8) is not good although the team has had several injuries. Captain Bryce Salvador, forwards Mike Cammalleri (a team-high 15 goals), Patrik Elias and Martin Havlat all missed at least 10 games.Centre Adam Henrique, who has a team-high 26 points, said the only thing the Devils can do now is focus on the next game and not the big picture.ddddddddddddIf you look at it and say Geez, thats a big mountain to climb I think its a little worse that way, he said. We had a good trip before the break and the guys are back, fresh and excited. We just have to chip away at it slowly.Defenceman Andy Greene said the changes instituted by the new triumvirate are working. While he would not point out a specific change, he said the players are just trying to be smarter on the ice, not get caught out of position late in shifts and play more cohesive hockey as five-man units.We have to string some wins together and get ourselves into the conversation, Greene said. There is a pride factor and you have to play for the guy next to you.Veteran Scott Gomez, who didnt get a contract coming out of training camp but has since signed and played 23 games, likes this team. He thinks they play hard every night.You can look at the points and say how thats it, Gomez said. Im telling you, well make it interesting. The winning attitude is definitely in here.Lamoriello said the all-star break might have come at the wrong time for the Devils, who won two of three games on the West Coast.We cant worry about anybody other than ourselves, Lamoriello said.
