I assume you were at the the Thomas More game so WTH happened?

TMC flat out got beat.  JHU is a physical team and TMC took an entire half of football to adjust to it.  Down 21-3 at half, with our QB getting an IV (the freshman backup came in and ended a red-zone opportunity at the end of the half with an INT --- which Hopkins turned into a 14 point swing by driving the field and scoring with 14 seconds left in the half).

TMC played well in the 2nd half, getting two TD passes in the first 8 minutes of the 3rd quarter... and then pulling ahead with 51 seconds left on a 23 yard TD pass from Stellman..  We thought they had it... it turned out to be 1 second too much left on the clock.  JHU had the ball at the Thomas More 45 yard line with 5 seconds left.  TMC jumped offsides then gave up a 9 yard pass, in which the WR got out bounds with 1 second left.


JHU is a physical and well-coached football team.  TMC needed the defense to slam the door shut in the last minute of the game to win and they couldn't do it against Hopkins.  My hats off to them.  Too many mistakes for TMC in this game to say they should've won.

The future is still bright at TMC, there was an article by my broadcast partner on the recruiting being done at Thomas More...

and the President of the College has created an Executive Board to help bring "championship football" to TMC.  I like the direction of the program.

Nice article about the Albright coach--reminds me a bit of the LK philosophy about good men to play football.

Nice article.  Thanks for the link.

We know the commercial breaks are over the web.  That's nothing new.

But if you are discussing things that really shouldn't go out on the air then maybe you should kill your mics until the commercial breaks are over or play music out over the net.

Thanks Saintsfan! sounds like it was a heck of a game to go down to the final second! JHU seems to be the "cinderella" or dark horse of the tourney to this point.  TMC will surely stay in the hunt next season. You can still come visit the "local talent  " and nails some wings and brews, we had a blast with your company!

Back from the land of no computers (my Mom's apt.) I see that the MUC juggernaut is going strong as the season climbs to the climax ----- in Salem, perhaps!!  It sure sounds like a great possibility!!  Hope to see all my internet buds there.  I'll have the brownies as per usual.  Somebody else will have to supply the team as we didn't get to the play-offs this year.  But Stone Station will be there, never fear!!

KEEP ON DOING THAT THING YOU ALL DO BEST!!  WIN!!

Olinemom, you gotta do something with the brownies to entice the "powers that be" or better known as ESPN to quit putting the D3 football National Championship on the backburner to such things as Sister Josephine's basketball tournament, the 14th annual Texas hold'ems jamboree or the Detroit 9-ball billiards bonanza....I mean come on!.......It does nothing but kill the tailgating with an 11AM kickoff and i'm sure especially for Stone Station and their great group of guys its really unfair!
Got two more to go, then we can look at being in Salem!....bright and early. Can't imagine what it will be like if Linfield makes the Stagg and people back home gotta get up for an 8am football game!..... hmmmmmmmmm The best Stagg yet was 2001 Bridgewater and Mount going toe to toe at primetime under the lights! >>>>>>>>>>SWEET!

Perhaps if she added a little 60s 'zest' to the brownies!

Just call them "special" brownies.

My cousin had satellite tv back in its early days and would get the live feed of NFL games.  The most entertaining part of these broadcasts was during the commercial breaks.  The announcers would let their hair down and make comments about players, coaches, fans, cheerleaders that gave much more insight about the atmosphere of the game than most of what went out over the regular broadcast.  Pat Summerall and John Madden were the best.  Their banter was occasionally "R" rated at best, but they always managed to tone it back after the break.  Saturday's webcast reminded me of those days, for better or worse.

Thanks.  Good story about a great teacher and coach.  Albright sounds like a great place to play.

[reality check]

Spent the holiday weekend in Ohio and managed to miss completely everything football related while I was home.  Congrats to Mount on another convincing win.  Saintsfan was working to get me in on the JHU/TMC webcast but the plans didn't line up although that sounded like a helluva ballgame too.

I did see Coach Place over the weekend.  He moved from his old place near UD and even though he's all-Hamilton right now he still has his C-J stuff up in the yard.  He's mailing me the playbook because it slipped his mind during the short week of school.
