FB: Ohio Athletic Conference

[SJF Fan]

The OAC is one of the most successful conferences in the playoffs.  Otterbein's loss this year was the exception, not the rule.  Have you already forgotten about JCU going on the road in the East and beating the best your region had to offer in '02?

Have we forgotten about that? No, how could we, you OAC man crusher continue to mention it - it was 6 years ago. 

In addition to Otterbein, how did the OAC outside of MUC do again?  oh. 

[SJF Fan]

Face it, nobody in the East is beating Mount.

Sadly, that may prove to be true, we'll find out over the next couple of weeks, and the first week of September.

It will be tough for the East to beat MUC in any years as the East does abide by NCAA D3 standards. .   MUC is bound to have the same fate as Akron - only a matter of time

[SJF Fan]

SJF Fan is showing his ignorance on multiple boards today.  He's posted over on the LL board that MUC's weakness is "speed".

This would be untrue - I was saying that SJF's weakness this season was speed, not MUC's.

It only took till Week Two of the Playoffs for someone to throw out the MTU is cheating comment.

Don't you think after NINE Championships and All those victories that the NCAA would have found somthing if there was something there?

Give me a friggin brteak SJF Fan.

Wow, so now Mount is only good because they break the rules.  You must be privy to information that the NCAA is unaware of.  What rule do they break, exactly?

I love how you are insulting the #2 team in the OAC for losing when the only team in your "real league" to make the playoffs lost to a seven seed in the first round.  Again, please don't post unless you have something intelligent to say.

this was absolutely 100% a bad year for the E8 - not only did we get bounced in round 1, but getting bounced by an NEFC team was very, very hard to take.

I believe Otterbein got bounced this year, and didn't OACer perennial #2 get bounced last year in the first round as well?

[SJF Fan]

What is interesting to note, is that I and most others in the east are willing to admit things that may not exactly look good toward themselves or other teams in the East.

You guys are so pompous all the time.

Even after UWW slapped you, and we all watched MUC become emotionally unhinged on Nat'l TV, instead of giving props to a UWW program that worked hard to get to where it was - you could only muster up back handed compliments like - they were the best team on that particular day only. 

Humility - take a break from the cow tipping, and the rule breaking, and learn about it.

Just to clear things up, here is the speed post in question.

"MUC can be beat - they handled SJF in week 1 - biggest weakness was speed.  If the D for Bart can hit the lanes quicker, it will disrupt MUC's O."

So, he was saying MUC can be beat.  Then lists the weakness that would allow them to be beat.  But, according to him, he wasn't saying that Mount's weakness was speed, instead he was inexplicably listing a weakness of SJF and not a reason that MUC could be beat.  SJF's weakness this year was winning.  Next year, don't lose to three teams not named Mount Union and make the playoffs so the Raiders can drop 50 on you again.

I agree - they had a handful of first year starters at key positions, that will be back with a little more seasoning, so my expectation is that they'll be better, and will be back to winning the E8 - and hopefully, the season will start with a nice victory over MUC that finally has the stones to venture outside the friendly confines of Alliance OH.

On the speed comment, I was typing fast, and sincerely believe that a weakness on Fisher's team this season was speed. - not sure what the big deal is about that quote -

- you're acting with that same level of emotional stability we saw last year at the conclusion of the stagg.  Take a deep breath and relax. . .

Yeah, they lost to Whitewater.  A lot of shame in losing to the eventual national champion.

[SJF Fan]

Yeah, And we can say the same thing - but don't - because we want to be that eventual Nat Champ.  -- and we're going to get there.

[Toph]

You keep saying UWW "slapped" Mount.  They won by 10, and it was closer than that...especially if you take the illegal TD off the board.

If losing by 10 is getting slapped, what is losing 26-14, 52-10, and 33-3 in consecutive years?

You still haven't told us what Mount is doing outside of the rules of the NCAA.  I'm waiting with baited breath.

You keep saying "we."  What position do you play?  Players shouldn't post.

[raiderfan1983]

I don't know why you keep hammering on about the end of last year's Stagg.  VK reacted very poorly to what he thought was a bad call.  I know that SJF Fan wouldn't understand what it's like to have an important game on the line since SJF probably hasn't played in one in his lifetime.  Heck, I thought SJF had won the Super Bowl last year when they were down by 6 touchdowns.

In two posts, you have implied that Mount cheats.  How about some real evidence or an actual, "Here is what they do."  Not just, "Since my team can't beat them, they must not follow the rules."

You can tell me how to relax.  You've got the entire playoffs and the off-season to do nothing but sit back and relax.

...especially if you take the illegal TD off the board.
