The AU followers will be happy to know that the guys on the internet broadcast gave a shout out and some face time to the pepband, citing them as the element that pushed the game over the edge in favor of AU.  On to next Saterday.  There is a reason they play the game.

AU is up 50- 0 at half.  I'm not great at math but that's a beat down.  I've been watching the game on the internet out in AZ.  It may just be me but its amazing to me the coverage that these games get nowadays and how great it is.  OVer the past 5 years its taken off.  I never thought I'd be able to watch an AU game while out here.  At the same time, I just got rid of a flip phone this past week so maybe I'm a bit behind the times.

Little disappointed in the disappointments of the pundits.  AU blew at IC.  Agreed.  But they (experts?) go back to 61 points in the last two weeks as though the 30 given up to utica in an already sealed up game mattered.  So you can score on a second team d.  How much of a second team D will Albright see?
Au wins.

I love seeing all the AU posters out in full force and with bravado to spare, but considering that the last time Sarge posted was just before the Ithaca game I'm not exactly filled with confidence...

Touche' sir, touche'.

Does ne one know where to get the au ic game?  is there only radio or is there a webcast?

Murray is an awful coach and should be fired after this season.   There is no way that AU can ever win the E8 as long as Ithaca and Fisher are still there.  Besides, what recruits want to go to a small school in an out of the way little town like Alfred?  BTW- I mourn the loss of the Jet and Alex's, 2 fine establishments. 

Utah-  What you're telling me is that it doesnt matter how many teams you beat that have winning records?  Mt. Union is a bad example.  However, take any top 4 team in the E8.  Suppose they were to only play teams that were in the top 20 in the nation.  Would their record be the same?  Prolly not.
Now take those same top four and have them play 10 games against the worst 20 in the nation.  Is their record the same?  Prolly not.
Opponents winning percentages absolutely matter.  Isn't that one of the criteria looked at when getting into the tourney for bubble teams?  Why do you think they look at that?  Because anyone can beat up on the cupcakes that Husson strung together 7 wins against.

Wow.  I'm not even sure where to start here.

Umm... golf clapping... not me. 

You're talking about getting a win in the ECAC's this year like you should get patted on the back.  Sorry.  You beat husson.  AU lost to RPI.  Lose to RPI by 3 versus beating HUSSON by 10?  I'd think the 3 point loss is better.  Sometimes when you win it's still a loss.

Great Ms. drop.  Caught me off guard. 

On trying to dismiss a win over Husson - I may be wrong on this, but not sure - I believe their only losses came to D2 schools.

I am still extremely befuddled to hear anyone trying to defend Husson on here.  It really miffs me.  What are you looking at?  What makes them even decent?

Husson's record this year    7-3
Not ONE of those 7 wins came against a team with a winning record.  They ALL had LOSING records! (not even a .500 team in there)
In fact, Husson's wins this year came against teams that combined for a robust 21-47 overall record.

I think Husson basically did the same thing the 2nd and 3rd place E8 teams did by beating Utica, Norwich and Springfield pretty good while only losing to SJF by a touchdown or so?  I mean, thats as good as Ithaca did right? (except for the losing to SJF by a touchdown).

I look at their schedule and see a team that you could never overlook for any east team.

I do believe that you are comparing them to the top 3 teams here in this quote and even comparing them to our #1.

Lew your relevance and IQ are both off the charts.

Couple of things strike me here.

1.  Nothing about the actual post?  I gave a lot of facts there.

2.  No, I don't know how to quote as well as other people here.

3.  Its amazing how fast people will jump on posters when they use words like "fag" and "gay" on here.  Yet, its still somehow all right to use "retarded"?  And then to be supported, not reprimanded, but supported, by the very same people that would wag the finger for using those other said words?  Interesting.

Chock full.

It is not a matter of defending Husson - I'm just not dismissing them. Again, while the wins may be questionable (like along the lines of Wick beating up on D3 powers Mt. Ida), there only losses came to D2 schools.

So, not defending it, not chest pounding the win, just not willing to dismiss them as if they are any lower class than the other ECACers in '08.

1st, sorry i cant quote for crap.
Let me explain why this is ridiculous that you would give Husson ANY credit.  Yes, I am dismissing them as awful.

Husson has had a football team for 6 years now.  They have gotten better each year, but where else could they go? 
Husson's record over the past 6 yrs?  23-27.  That's one huge difference between Husson and the top 4 teams in the E8.  The top four teams in the E8 all have better records over that period than Husson and only Hartwick has a losing record over the last 6 yrs. (IC 51-16, SJF 56-16, AU 45-20, Wick 26-33).  Point?  The teams in the E8 have won.

With regards to the 23 wins that Husson has in 6 yrs, NOT ONE OF THOSE WINS HAS BEEN AGAINST A TEAM WITH A WINNING RECORD!  I'm not making that up.  They have NEVER beaten someone with a winning record or even a .500 team.  In fact, the combined records of those teams that Husson has beat in the past 6 yrs is 28-115!  Of those 28 wins, they beat 9 different teams, one of which dropped its football program, and another that it had to play 2x in the same season (Becker) to get 2 of its 3 wins that season.

And Utah... come on.  You're a veteran here.  I would expect such nonsense from a fool like fan or a dwarf still playing, or even a kid that cant spell saterday.  But to compare Husson to the top 3 teams in the E8? and especially its champ IC?  Let me explain further...

The top 4 teams in the E8 all had winning records in conference, leaving only the remaining 3 cellar dwellers.  That means that all 4 of those top tier teams of the E8 all had a win against at least one team with a winning record THIS YEAR.  I remind you, Husson has NEVER done this.
How is Husson different from IC?  wow.  IC had wins against 4 teams this year with a winning record.  SJF had 3 (one of which was Husson and in my book should not count), wick had 2, and AU had 1 (against fisher).

Furthermore, i am a virgin.  Which gives me that much more credence to speak on the subject.  I'm saving myself for marriage.

an AU fan saying deep runs into the NCAAs isn't really a big deal is kinda like a virgin saying sex is overrated...

Sweet post.  Use an overused saying with some humor to make a point and everyone laffs and nods their heads.  Deep.  I dont think i've ever heard that before.  That was hilarious and it made a point!  Now i agree.
