I'll post my thoughts when I'm not pissed at the ending and say something I shouldn't. That's gonna take a couple days.

Not to rub it in, but weren't you one of those who mocked MIT being ranked in an early poll?  I know others were.

Nah I didn't say anything bad about MIT. Only criticism is saying we don't know if they're real or if they just match up well against Salve. I never said anything about them in the poll though.

Yea I couldn't remember nor could I find it. Looks like they are semi-legit though.  Might only lose to UWW by 60?

I'll be rooting for MIT against Endicott next weekend. Hard not to root for an underdog who hasn't had much success before.

[jackson5]

Frustrating loss. To comeback like that only to lose because of a extra point was a real kick in the nuts. Gotta root for Endicott now which I didn't think I'd ever say.

[D3MAFAN]

It was really a toss up between WNEC and MIT, for the game to end on a missed PAT, only makes it that much interesting as MIT takes on Endicott this upcoming weekend. MIT has been playing really well and I expect a good game against Endicott. However, Endicott is battle tested, but they were very shaky against Coast Guard this past weekend. I think MIT can really run the table.

[jackson5]

If that game goes to OT I think WNE wins. They just had too much momentum. I'm hoping that WNE plays a full 60 minute game at some point. When they play like they did in the 3rd quarter last night they look unbeatable in this league. Unfortunately they appear to not be able to get to that level until after they got punched in the face.

Jackson, you are definitely right. If WNE plays the game like the 3rd quarter, they would have dominated the game, but as you aforementioned, there is 60 minutes in a game. It is almost similar to boxing, one individual (team) can appear to dominate the fight with knocking an opponent down a couple times for a couple rounds late, but in the first few rounds, doesn't get enough points. Like you, momentum was in favor and would have appeared to be in WNEC favor, but it turn out in their favor.

Yeah it is a 60 minute game. They've done it against Springfield in the 4th, and Union in the end of the 2nd and 3rd quarter. The closest they've gone to a full game of the intensity was the Maine game but that was aided by Maine just being garbage. Hopefully they do it against Endicott and don't wait until they spot the Gulls 3 touchdowns before going into that 5th gear.

The same thing could have been said about MIT and the first quarter or so.  Ultimately, it comes down to the score on any given Saturday.  In any event, both teams are very good.

Congrats to Coach Chad on a big win. Nice to see a former teammate, alum and LL coaching alum doing well.

That game vs. Endicott should be a great one.

UWW's just a steamroller everywhere.  A couple of years ago they beat us in the (men's basketball) semis down in Salem by 15 points.  The following fall we played Harvard preseason (preseason for us, regular season for Harvard).  Harvard was a pretty good D1 team on the way up, and we were missing a couple of our key starters due to injury (they never made it back...very upsetting, we'd have had a real shot at the title)...and they beat us by 15.  Not garbage time 15 either -- nobody's starters and top subs came out until a few minutes left.  I thought UWW was better than Harvard.

Back to football...here's the play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKfHq5QqLQw&feature=youtu.be&list=UUBgTXPlznzOjVrvqIDJdXzw

MIT with the win over Endicott tonight in a terrific game!  MIT got off to a hot start again, but Frenette figured things out in the second half and went up 29-28 early in the 4th before MIT reestablished their running game, responded with a score followed by a pick and then a dominant run attack to run out the final 4 minutes.

[dlippiel]

Did Dlip read this correctly??? Did WNE lose to ****ing Curry 6-0? What the **** is happening in this world?

[ITH radio]

Yep. 7-0 in OT of all things. Crazy wkd, including Linfield being upset.

Sounds like an amazing game.  Hopefully we solve our problem of letting opponents back in that has been happening lately.
