The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep.  (about 390)

I'm a little more contemporary

The whole poetry/literature thing is lost on me.  The only thing better than numbers is:

Dennis to King Arthur: "Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you."

Well, HScoach, if that doesn't work, you can always just throw at them the following quote from the famed MGM version of "Mutiny on the Bounty" where Richard Harris (as Seaman John Mills) says to Marlon Brando (as First Mate Fletcher Christian and lead mutineer) when Brando suggests "for the good of all" they return to England to face charges of mutiny for the purpose of putting an end to Capt. Bligh for his mistreatments (actually Bligh was a Lieutenant and not a Capt. in rank in the true history of this story) and Mills says:

"Anyone who thinks so [______insert you own word/phrase here for any situation you are talking about above] hasn't got the sense that God gave geese"!  That will really confuse them.  And now,...back to regular programming, ugh posting that is.

P.S. Does that put me iin the same category as seventies?

Methinks we are all a little cabin crazy ...

This love fest between WWW and MTU fans has made the week really quite boring.  I know it is civilized and all, however, I used to check in now and then to the boards to see who had made an outrageous statement or insult and got a kick out the sparring...now its...

WWW FAN:  "Gee this Mount team is terrific, I hope we are as good as you some day...we are getting there."

MTU FAN: "Yes you are.  We are fortunate to have LK, but you guys are awesome and get the best from us...I hope each team shows up with their best effort Saturday..."

WWW FAN: "Me too, and may the better team win."

MTU FAN:  "Safe travels to all and will see you at the tailgate, maybe we can sing a chorus of Kumbaya together before the game.."

It would be much more fun with (UMU fan): You are nothing but Johnny-Come-Latelies and Pretenders.  You'll NEVER win ten titles!

(UWW fan): Shut your pie-hole you over-the-hill has-beens.  Your time was then; our time is now!



Civility is to be applauded, but it is BORING!

[UMUplayerdad]

all I know is  the game is too close to bet on, I just hope UMU playcalling doesn't get stuck on "making
a point"

I also hope the zebra's let them play

oh, and let's not be behind in fourth quarter-other than that? Best I can do is wish for no "plegic" type
injuries, AND that the 2 best teams ARE playing-like it or not.......

[skunks_sidekick]

Hey UMU dude.....I know you have a kid playing now right?  And you think  you know football.  And you have wagered a few shillings here or there. 

BET THIS.......Mount will do things in the Stagg Bowl that resembles nothing you have seen in the regular season.  Especially when they are facing a juggernaut that is UWW. 

Will that end in victory.......more times yes...but sometimes no.  At the end of the day.....the kids still have to block, throw, catch, and run.  If Mount doesn't turn the ball over 3 out of the last 4 times they had it last year.......imagine the possibilities of THAT game.  As it was it was a great game. 

Just sayin'.......it's all good....

[UMUplayerdad]

btw if any of the posters don't know what
"let them play" means? Ck last 2 UMU games

[UMUplayerdad]

skunks
I get it(btw no bookie takes a bet till semi's)

i do second guess play calls-ugh, let's not get into 3rd and longs on a regular basis

I realize it's almost aganst the rules to pass on first down.....  fukin do it   

[skunks_sidekick]

We had NCAC refs last week, and the week before last.  They are worst, most dispicable, most ridiculous, most hated, most grudge-carrying officials that exist.  The NCAA should be embarassed, and it's almost laughable how all the people that sit around us immediately KNOW after a really bad call that it's those "losers from the NCAC". 

Get over it guys......you were fired for reason.

UMUPlayerDad,
I am completely amazed that any parent would come out and openly criticize the coaching at Mount. Most parent are thrilled there kid is a part of something special, let me tell you as a past player it is something special. You get the chance to learn how to act and what to do from upper classmen, and experience football at an efficient and high level. Word of advice, sit back, relax, and let your kid and the rest of the Mount world enjoy what's going on. I can assure you the coaching staff is as good as it gets. People like you just don't get it; those coaches know more than any of us combined and want to win more than any of us. Anyone can second guess a coach, hind sight is 20/20. I know, I know, you used to film your sons high schools games and you would yell even before the play started that it was a bad call. You are an arm chair coach; all you're doing is giving the other kids on the team a chance to bag on your kid, because they all read this stuff.  Really, get over it. How bad can the coaching be, look at the numbers. It is as good as it gets, this is one of the youngest teams ever at Mount and they are playing for a National Championship, this group is over achieving and it is because of hard work, team work, and COACHING!!!!!.

Let me guess you're the kind of guy who would even complain about a night full of Pabst Blue Ribbon and a blowjob.

P.S. To the rest of the D3footballworld not all Mount fans act like this, most of us understand what it takes for Mount to be Mount.

I represent that remark
