It really is sour grapes to question the officiating.

If so, then DVC's own radio announcer is guilty of "sour grapes" in his post above. He questioned the non-call on Don Marshall.

As well, why can't a win or loss be affected (or even determined) by an official's call, correct or blown? Every ruling by an official has ramifications, both immediate and eventual, for both teams. Otherwise, there's no point in having officials on the field.

Am I saying LVC lost because of the officiating? Absolutely not. Am I saying there was some high strangeness in certain calls? Absolutely yes. (And some of the high strangeness calls went against the Aggies.)

well done by lvc lets hope the program has turned the corner and will start some winning ways...hangtime your right this dvc team resembles very much the team from a couple of years ago when it seemed every game went down to the wire. a positive is they will not panic being down going into the fourth qtr and i am still a big believer in the qb he is starting to get the ball to the wr's and let them make plays...this team is only to get stronger as the year wears on

What was nice to see, is that all of the MAC games were competitive this week. The shame is that the parity in the MAC seems to hurt us as a whole...especially if a team loses out of conference....

Tell the boys to mix in a safety now and again

...Is a dropkick still legal?

By coincidence, the only other safety I saw LVC score was v. Del Valley in Annville some 20 years ago, and the Dutchmen also lost that game near the end.

If the dropkick isn't still legal, we're wasting a lot of time and effort trying to hire Doug Flutie as an instructor. In fact, we're going very retro these days, what with ordering leather helmets, long-sleeve jerseys, and hightop shoes. As well, the coaches are putting in a series of double- and single-wing plays, along with a variation of the old Knute Rockne "Notre Dame Box" formation. Whatever comes of all this, win or lose, we'll be colorful.

Mix in "The Lonely End" and a "Fumblerooskie" and you will be set. I hear numbers on the jerseys are the latest rage.

Unfortunately, the "Fumblerooski" is now illegal (thanks to those spoil-sports in Indianapolis), though I understand the "Centerooski" is still allowed (the center rolls the ball back between his feet, turns around and picks it up).

We may, however, assay the "Oklahoma Swinging Gate." Numbers? Oh, yeah ... but only on the back, 'bout six inches high.

I assume you heard of the terrible tragedy that hit our Amish brethren in Lancaster County this morning.

PBR... · October 02, 2006, 08:50:21 PM

formerwu · October 04, 2006, 10:47:48 AM

Warren,

Thoughts and prayers out to the people in the area. That would be the last place you would expect something like that to happen.

Dynasty07 · October 04, 2006, 10:51:24 AM

warren,
that was a truely horrific event. Everyone in the LL area felt that shock. Heart goes out to all of the families.

Dynasty07 · October 04, 2006, 07:08:07 PM

Hey i got a question (for the higher ups on this especially), i was reading the around the mid-atlantic, and they have dickinson! at number 4 in the region?! Are they that good? I mean I dont know all that much about them, but it sort of took me back, especially seeing them ahead of teams like del val. Now i know this isnt a CC board, but comments welcome.

Pat Coleman · October 04, 2006, 10:18:54 PM

Dickinson is not that good.

Dynasty07 · October 04, 2006, 11:46:47 PM

Does anyone have any predictions for this Saturday??? I have never seen this board so dead....even Simba has been quiet about Lyco?

Just got back from travelling....that happened 10 minutes from my house...
We all are in shock...and frankly shaken...since it was so close...

Now I know why the Amish don't want to associate with us...
