FB: Ohio Athletic Conference

[middlerelief]

JCU could not handle field conditions.  Their receivers were not able to run routes or adjust and QB threw where they should have been on a dry day and they weren't there.
SJF had decent coverage all day, but the Blue Streaks were sooooo disappointing. Thought they could score after kickoff return that put them down 22-16, but int ended the threat.  JCU qb after great season looked pedestrian. forced passes into double and triple teams all day...
Better team, IMO didn't win, but the team that hung tough and handled adversity did. They were better today when it counted.
Congrats to Fisher.

About as strongly as would be deemed appropriate for a public board -- this kind of post is infuriates me and strongly disagree with it.

The whole "they were a better team today" is the back handed compliment that smacks of -- we just can't believe we lost to you little people, and we're really better than you --- its the same kind of posts you see from MUC'ers often last 5 or so years when UWW beats them in the Stagg.

JCU had one cup of coffee over decade ago, and then has barely been a winning program since -- SJF is a better program and a better team than JCU. 

Went back the last 1-5 is the playoff record of the last 5 times an OAC team that doesn't have Raiders on their helmets have fared. Getting steamed by a team in your conference annually doesn't make you a good program or better than others just for showing up. 

SJF, the better team, the better program, won - Period.  Get over it, and start prepping for 2nd place in your conference again next year.

Wow you should stop trying to fit into your tight shorts. I have a lot of respect for SJF but wining the turnover battle 6 to 0 contributed greatly to the final score. Very easily on a clean field SJF could have gotten blown out. SJF did good in the nasty elements enjoy the results and try not to be so sensitive.

How can a team from Ohio complain about weather conditions at home?  Maybe you should move the college to Southern California.

Hey Craft, the best teams consistently win the turnover battle, oftentimes by wide margins.  I haven't checked Mt's turnover ratio, but I'll wager they have taken a lot more than they have given.  You know why?  Because the better teams force turnovers in any number of ways.  Sometimes it's just be being a better balanced team and thus, not as impacted by snow on the ground.     

"SJF could have gotten blown out"-I guess anything is possible.   STJ could have passed for 500 yards, or run for 1,000 yards, or they could have run every play backwards, or maybe if they were in the mood they could have alternated every player on the roster at QB.  But it looks like they put together a great game plan based on their team strengths against JCU's weaknesses and won a playoff game.

Ditto emma, was composing just about the same post when you put it out there

I'm calling BS on this one (and I'm not a fan or alum of Mount Union).  Sure there are idiot fans associated with each team but the knowledgeable Mount posters have done a good job of "policing their own" and have been very complimentary of Whitewater while being gracious in defeat.

+K . I don't think the NCAA has legislated turnovers out of the game, yet.

I find it humorous that we have Monut fans and SJF fans arguing about JCU.  John Carroll had back to back opportunities to prove they were among the top programs and they failed both.  So let's leave the Smerf Streak fans (or fan) to make their own excuses, and move on.

hopefully next year the Wilmington football team can use some of that magic their basketball team had  yesterday.

Absolute craziness.  Some of my buddies who played at Miami are among the ones who insist that D3 Athletics is "glorified high school ball".  As you can probably imagine, I've been giving them a VERY hard time to the tune of "how do you like me now?!"   

If you want to read some fun posts you should go to the Miami message board. I thought my bobcat board was in meltdown after Tuesday night. It is nothing to compare with the redhawk basketball board.

Clearly JCU could win the battle 8/10...I mean all they have to do is not get turned over SIX times by a weak program from the East that now has 4 ROAD wins in the tournament against top 25 teams in last 10 years and score more points than they give up in those 8games and presto....

[Ric]

I just find it interesting that a team wins a few football games and all of a sudden they invented the game. Mount Union has played in 16 of the last 20 national championship games, winning 11. They have made it to the semifinals 18 straight years. They have won at least one playoff game in each of the last 20 seasons. Think about that. 16/20, 11, 18, 20. For whatever reason JCU was unable to win. Even Whitewater, that went toe to toe with Mount, and even won the seven game series, failed to make the playoffs last year. To me, this just points out how remarkable the Purple Raiders have been for two decades now! It's hard to win a playoff game, let alone 16/20, 11, 18 and 20.

You can quote me in your class on that.
