congrats to MUC back-up kicker and a 47 yard field goal.. he just hammered it...then he misses a shortie later...

That was actually the punter who hit the 47-yard field goal.  I Saw him at the scrimmage booming punts and he if he got enough attempts he could rival BW's punter for best in the league.  The coaches probably felt that since his leg is strong enough they should give him some reps at kicker since he probably won't be punting much this year.
The impossible CAN happen and eventually it WILL happen.

Being that none of the coaches talked to him after he missed that kick, I wouldn't be surprised if the miss wasn't on purpose.  After all, Scott Thomas ran out of bounds at the 1 yard line TWICE on break away runs.  Which by the way, would have been his first TD ever in purple.

The lengths at which LK goes to not score still amazes me.

Oh...by the way kcreds........I played football, coached football, and now coach Youth Football!  So there!   ;D

So far this year my team of stars is running on all cylinders.  We have scored a total of one touchdown, and our defense is giving up an average of 24 points a game. 

I wonder if Marietta has an opening on their schedule ??? ;)

Although I played and coached, I am truly at my best when I am an ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACK.   

Skunks, back in 2005 my 8 and 9 year old team scored 12 total points and gave up 35 per game....we were 'defeated'...

Ric states in a past post that Marietta is bad and I won't say I told you so later. What happens is he does and yes you guessed it, I get bombarded.

No I didn't. Why do you have to act like a damn jerk?

Firstly, I never came on here talking to you. People, plural, people, were giving their opinion about the Marietta, St. John's game and I gave mine. You didn't like it. And what I said, that Marietta's defense was "horrible" last year, was accurate. I saw them play, did you?  You didn't like my opinion and you made your attacks personal. 

And to be accurate, what I said was, "You can be assured if the final is 42-0 you won't hear one word from me," referring to the St. John's game. And you didn't.

Now, four weeks later, we start talking football again because you kept asking me to respond to your post. And then, after seeing Marietta play three times, you come on here and basically say the same thing about this year's team I did about last year's, that they're "terrible."

So I respond by trying to explain to you that what you are now seeing is why I thought they wouldn't be that good this year.  I thought I was talking with you not at you.  But again you have to take it personal. Well what I said yesterday had absolutely nothing to do with our disagreements before week one. So to quote you, don't put words in my mouth.

Just about every time you post something against me on this board you have to add a childish dig.  And now you're so misunderstood you want to walk off pouting. 

Well frankly, I don't need to talk with someone that thinks he knows more about a team that he has NEVER seen than I do, a person that has seen Marietta play every year since the 1980's and knows their program as well as an outsider can.

It's too bad you can't just talk football. Sorry but I will not miss you posting one bit. Good luck the rest of the way.

The lengths at which LK goes to not score still amazes me.

Firstly, I would like to say I don't have a problem with the decisions LK makes or the ridiculous numbers that Purple Raider offense puts up.  It's incredible and admirable.  And I can't begin to imagine having to find ways to "not score".  But I wonder as an opposing coach or player, if you'd rather have the Raiders continue to score or kick field goals on first down.  Seeing a back veer out of bounds on back to back plays so as to "not score" is perhaps worse than giving the score up in general. 

My team played a superior opponent the other week and we lost by 41 but our offense was able to put up 33 points on them offensively.  They ran the same play for TD so many times and our kids just didn't make the adjustments necessary.  I wasn't upset that they kept scoring on my kids, I was however upset that they insisted on running that play when the game was out of hand and there was no reason to exploit my team's weaknesses.  They were knealing to kill the clock and we called TO, down 35 points, to force a 4th down punt so our third team kids could get a couple snaps on offense.  They responded by running that play following the TO on 4th down for another TD.  Had they scored any other way, I wouldn't have cared.  I wonder if opposing coaches would feel similarly when MUC deliberatly avoids scoring.  I'd rather give up a TD to a 4th string TB than to watch a 4th string TB try not to score on my kids.

PS:  I think they should have a coin flip.  Heads Romeo gets fired tomorrow and tails he gets to finish the year.

The coin flip results are in. Romeo called tails before the toss. While the coin was still in the air Romeo called a time out. It was heads. The outcome of the coin toss is being reviewed by the league. Results at 11:00. Stay tuned sports fans.  ;)

Run out of bounds and the opponent is insulted, score and you're a dirty SOB for running it up.  Why not just punt on first down?!   There just isn't a graceful way to blow out another team and make them feel good about it.

Re: Pierre.  He was certainly subdued Saturday night.  He was making certain he would not draw any unnecessary attention to himself.  He was probably a little more subdued than he needed to be, but he's to be commended for having his head in the right place and keeping himself in the game.

Is there a defensive backfield in D3 that can cover Mount's receivers?
12-0 = 13

RC:  I'm not sure what the opposing coaches and players think at the time, but I would imagine most, when looking back well after the fact, appreciate the show of sportsmanship on the scoreboard.  Doubt it helps when watching it live, but a few years later it can't be as bad as getting drilled by 100.  Which is what MUC would get in some of these games.  The 2 plays that S. Thomas ran out of bounds were simple dive plays that each went for 40+/- yards.  Can't tell the kids to not play hard, but you can tell them not to cross the goal line.

Hmmm, if Kcreds could convince LK to do it, I bet MUC could easy hang 100+ on Marietta if Otterbein could get in the 40's against them.



And speaking of Kcreds, how does someone in 3 short weeks go from thinking Etta has a decent shot at SJU to thinking they might not win a game?  Must have finally seen them actually play on the field against live competition.  Which is something all of us have seen over the years that led us to believe that they would struggle bigtime without their one and only playmaker from last year. 

If there is one constant in OAC Post Patterns, it's that idiots will come and go by the year.  And based on previous history means that Kcreds Jr. will transfer somewhere else next year so we don't have to hear Sr.'s crap. 

Wonder if we could trade him to Wabash?  His enthusiasm and fantasy world would fit in well with the  Wabash folks.

I have to agree with rscl70 with regards to MUC scoring...damned if you do, damned if you don't. I can't imagine what the opposing players would feel like getting drilled 100-0. I believe LK is showing some class by not scoring more although I do feel bad for the kids looking to score their first touchdown and have orders to run OB. Gee, I hope the first team is getting enough playing time!  ;D

I've been following Mount Union since 1977--back when it was just fun to go to a game--any game.   This year's team has to be the best ever--talent, speed, depth, however you want to slice it.  LK is bending so far backwards to stop the scoring it is ridiculous.  When the opponent punts, our "receiver" calls for a fair catch.  I saw one "fair catch" go 30 yards beyond the receiver.   He could have caught it and run for 10-20 yards easy.  And Mount ran play after play up the middle--and still made some first downs.  Mount had 690 yards of offense to Muskingum's 45.  I hate to see a good school like Muskingum get beat so badly.

muc-raider

Of course, there is another very good reason that LK does not run up the score.  The cheerleaders do "push-ups" after every score.  I can't imagine them having to try to do 150 push-ups after just doing 143 after doing 136, etc, etc.

I see Cap, BW, and ON all are ranked..can any of those teams give MU a game?

All of them plus JC.    Can't look past any of them.

Watching the Steelers defense yesterday reminded me of how the Raiders are playing.  You never know who's coming.

With Kmic coming close to passing Dan Pugh for the Raider rushing record, how would everyone rate the top four backs.  I realize Kmic still has this year and next to add to his totals.  Without  having seen Russ Kring play I would rank them ...
