FB: American Rivers Conference

[sportsknight]

Wartburg sells season tickets, which gets you a reserved seat in the middle sections of Walston Hoover, plus parking right outside of the stadium I believe.  If they counted those "sold" tickets along with those in the stadium.  You would probably get 1,200...which is what pro franchises do.

And the Hawkeye basketball program for that matter.

I think we will want to focus our attention on the Hawkeye Wrestling team this fall.  I think our basketball team will be piss to piss poor. 

News Flash:  Sources tell me that Jake Christiansen will be transfering to Eastern Illinois at the end of the season to play our his elligibility. 

They must be pretty hard up for QBs.  Their season ticket holders in the first five rows of the stands better start working on catching some of those errant passes.

What took him so long? He's not ready for the starting job at Iowa. (Half the time he wouldn't be ready for the starting job at Cornell.)

It appears Wartburg isn't the only ones who fix attendance #'s

The only time anyone gets an "obstructed view" seat in Schipper Stadium is when they sit behind me.

So last year the actual paid tickets was 90% of capacity. Thats not bad, but 10% of the gate times 6 home games is a pretty good chunk of change.

I have a question. Is it bush league for a HS team to score 50 on a team in the playoffs? when most of the points are scored in the first half and only passes 13 times. I was reading a article from East St. Louis,IL (I'm from IL) and the losing coach seemed upset that Est. STL scored so much. what do you think

here's the article:

Here's the Box Score:

 If I'm reading those stats correctly, 5 running backs split 20 carries, 4 recievers split 7 receptions. They end up with 50 points and 450 yards on 27 plays? Aside from punting on first down, I don't know what else they could have done.

[DutchFan2004]

Well a 35 point win is not running up the score IMHO.  It is the playoffs, you don't leave anything behind.  The winners actually lost the second half by one point so I think the losing coach is talking nonsense.  One could argue that he should have tried to put more points up in the third quarter.  It quote about being bush league passing the ball does not give clear context.  Were they passing the ball every play? Were they passing in the 4th quarther?  I think the losing coach should have thought before he said that.  It also said they have no one to blame but themselves.  I don't think you can expect a team winning to run right, run left, run up the middle, then punt so you can possibly come back on them.  Just my two cents.  I think Walston Hoover would be one to comment on it.

I would agree that they were not running up the score.  Third Quarter score was an interception returned for a touchdown.  Not like you are going to tell a player at the beginning of the third quarter (I assume 12:00 quarters with the TD at 10:34) to bat a ball down or intercept it and go down.  As for the fourth quarter score, could have been a 3rd down that just worked out.

Even if it is the playoffs, you still want your guys to be on a roll.  No point in letting up halfway through a game, might back it tough to get it going next game.  Overall, sounds like the losing coach is too busy playing the blame game instead of looking at why his team didn't show up until the end of the fourth quarter.

[TheOne89.1]

Please teach me how to do this.  I have tired many different times and have not figured this out

Once you hit the "quote" button in the upper right had corner of the post you want quoted you will get computer commands in your message box as you post your reply.

Delete what you do not want, BUT make sure you leave the

/quote

that was originally at the bottom of the message box when your "post reply" page opened.

You also have to leave the author of the quote.  For example when I hit the "quote" button on your post (the one you posted at 11:37:13 am today) I left

quote author=Klopenhiemer link=topic=3785.msg978931#msg978931 date=1226594233

Hopefully that makes sense.

And as a point of note, for this post I had to delete the brackets so that it wouldn't create a random quote in the middle.  You would want to leave the brackets in front and back of the stuff in italics above to get a lite grey quote box to appear at the top of your post.

I am not much for computers, someone else on here might be able to explain it better.  I try to use the preview button on the "post reply" page, so that a preview is displayed above where I edit my post.  This let's me know if I am on the right page or not.  Gives you something to monkey around with if you are bored at work.

[TheOne89.1]

I don't see why anyone would want to play on grass.  It's harder to pay attention, you get cotton mouth during the game... Oh, you mean.  Nevermind.

Dang, and I used my 420th post on this board to explain how to edit quotes to keep just the stuff you want.  Only seems right I would have used that post to comment on recreational drugs.

Instead of using canned jokes where you just insert Simpson and Central, I will tell you a quick true story about my first Simpson v. Central football game. I was a senior in high school and had narrowed by choices to Simpson and Central. I attended the game with my father and a friend of his (SC grad) watched with game with us. He asked if I had made a decision and I said, "no, not yet." Then he went on to say, "Well, you can't go to Central....you know your mother. Only, bast@rds go to Central."

By the way, Simpson won that day and thankfully I made the right choice.

As a Central grad, I am too much of a gentleman to bring yo momma into this.

Assuming your visit was during the last 50 years, you got pretty lucky to see a Simpson win....Simpson is 6-42-2   over the last 50 contests!  In football terms, this isn't a very good rivalry!

I didn't say it was a rivalry. 6 wins in 50 years, maybe that's why I hate Central so much.  Let's make it 7 on Saturday.
