FB: Presidents' Athletic Conference

[Ralph Turner]

well, I don't know about that... W&J's QB, Bobby Swallow is Senior this year.

This would be a great win for the PAC.  Curry/Ithaca is a great example of possibilities...

W&J has trouble with TX teams and Wesley in the playoffs..


It WILL be a shoot-out, none-the-less. 

Millsaps has the same attributes as the HSU's, UMHB's and Trinity's that you have seen.

I don't agree --- from what I've heard.  The MC offense is probably better than what "they've" seen from HSU's, UMHB's and Trinity's... right?

I think that the verdict is still out on the relative prowess of Millsaps vs. UMHB.   

If W&J wants to try a shoot-out with Millsaps, then I think that the Majors win by 3 TDs.

Millsaps has a great QB. (He is my candidate for the Gagliardi.)  UMHB is playing better football now than earlier in the season.  UMHB has said that the team thinks that it is peaking.

We are definitely getting the rivalries, northern versus southern half of the brackets.   

I am looking forward to the games next week.

Well, Trinity release 2008 is certainly not in the same class.  I would certainly say the Millsaps offense rates up there with Trinity's aerial circus years of the late 90's/early 00s, but it's a different kind of passing attack.  Trinity killed you with the deep ball, Millsaps kills you with a very accurate and efficient passing attack spread all over the field - and Juan Joseph can be a very effective runner when circumstances dictate.

Congrats to TMC on a great season!  I was impressed with the demeanor of the team.  They never laid down when a lot of teams would have cashed it in, right up to returning a punt for a TD as time expired.  Looking at the roster, it appears that they have a TON of youth.  If they are this good now, I really believe that they will be a FORCE in the next year or 2.  To the players who read: now you know how the postseason feels.  Get after it in the weightroom this offseason and increase that speed and agility, and we'll see you this time next year!

SaintsFAN:

Sorry to see that your TMC lost today.  However, while it is always disappointing not to advance on in the playoffs, overall, I think you and they can be proud that they had a pretty good season.

We played the Hope/Alma final regular season "make-up" game today, so it was fun to see some of my former colleagues there (and especially more fun for me since we i.e. HOPE won ).

Anyway, I hope you have a most enjoyable and blessed Thanksgiving holiday this week.  Talk to you later.

...stupid penalties,

SaintsFan, we talked about this a couple weeks ago, right after the W&J loss at TMC.

Unfortunately for the Saints, they didn't learn.

They took a lot on November 1st.  And failing to learn from mistakes contributed to the end of the season.

Here's hoping for your sake that the underclassmen learned from their second day at school (at least in this subject).

[SaintsFAN]

yeah... I was pretty fired up on Saturday.  The penalties hurt, but they weren't killer.... at least not compared to with the NCC passing attack.  Their WR's ran by the TMC db's pretty easily and alarmingly.  The QB was as accurate as Swallow... but threw alot of deep routes (7's-8s-9's), and then when we tried this, they gashed us with the run.  It was thorough...  it wouldn't have mattered if we didn't have any penalties.  We didn't play very well on defense and the offense sputtered in the 2nd and 3rd Quarters.

We definitely need to clean up penalties for the defense of the PAC in 2009... hopefully we aren't talking about this again next year at any point.

To the WJ faithful,

Bravo.  Great job by Sirriani.  I got a little aggravated in the thrid quarter when they went deep on third and short, but I love watching the old guard meet up with the up and coming by saying, "SIT DOWN, SON!"

I love it.  Good luck to y'all. 

[Ralph Turner]

Great win Presidents!   

[crufootball]

Great win Presidents, thank you for saving me a long car ride and I look forward to seeing you guys again.

[Sader4life]

Presidents you have saved me a 491 mile or 530 mile or (whatever the NCAA wakes up and decides is the distance) worth of gas. Wow I really didnt see that one coming.

[seventiesraider]

You guys still mad they brought in Sirriani? Great win.

[Teamski]

Excellent win W&J!  You definately surpised more than one of us!   Good luck next week.

Congrats on the victory. I was quite impressed with your QB & RB tandum, those guys gave us such a fit. Kudo's to your defense for stepping it up in the 2nd half inside the 30. We couldn't get much in those situations. Again congrats and good luck as you move toward Salem.

Does anyone know if W&J football highlights are carried by any news station?  Our CBS, NBC and ABC station carry hightlights, but I can find none for the Presidents.

[Bob.Gregg]

It's hard enough getting scores on, let alone pictures.

I doubt you'll find any on any of the Pittsburgh channels.
