I think Thiel should still be allowed to apply for the 3rd or/and 4th game if possible. The game is still days away. Why not??? Some NCAA rule??? I am sure it is but why not give the derserving seed the home game if they win this week? They deserve it? I guess the NCAA likes controvercy....then again Thiel dropped the ball big time. I guess the person should get some AR for this for sure. I do not know the rules but rules are rules. I would love for Thiel to play at home IF they take care of Bridgewater. But if they screwed up then they I guess they deserve the penalty....then again why punish the team for someone else's mistake????

Either way men take care of buisness this week vs Bridgewater by taking care of the football and getting 11 gold hats to the football. Then let the chips fall and take care of buisness whereever it may be.


Go Tomcats!!!

Bingo. This is all in the championships handbook.

Who knows, maybe there's some event going on on campus that day that they thought they couldn't also manage the game.

Pat,

If its in the handbook then I guess that is the way the cookie crumbles for the Tomcats. Obviously someone made a huge boo boo if they win. If they lose to Bridgewater then I guess its a lesson learned!
GO TOMCATS!!!

By the way a big congrats is in order for W&J WR Aaron Krepps for being selected to the Aztec Bowl!!!

Congrats!!!
GO TOMCATS!!!

Llama Oline MOm,

Tailgaiting at thiel is more than welcomed but i will remind it is a dry campus.  There are ways to get around that and the security is usually very cordial about letting the parents and families enjoy themselves in the parking lot only.  You can bring your grill and cooler enjoy yourselves but be smart about it.  There are a couple of SUVs that I will most likely be and Ill be wtih some other buddies Including PITTCBW.  Look forward to seeing the BW faithful at the game!!!  It will be good to meet some of the people on this board and hear thoughts face to face also!!!

Be safe driving up and happy holidays everyone!!!

New Weather report out of cleveland for the game:


An Alberta Clipper is coming in from Canada and will bring in cold air off the lake.  THe west side of cleveland will only see a max of 6 inches but the east side (Snow belt will see 8-12) and for the far east in Ohio and Western PA has a very very good chance they said of seeing up to 2 FEET OF SNOW!!!!!  From Today and untill Saturday.  Why will Western PA get such a huge hit?  The cold air first coming off from Canada, and then the Lake Effect will continue with Snow bands for the next couple of days due to the warm lake tempature, the news report said.  It will be a messy holiday weekend with the white stuff falling!!  Well see how far into Western PA this system will get to, but its my hunch that there very well could be some snow on the field after all!

Safe Drivings!

we did a similar thing in 2000 w/ not filing the correct paperwork in time to host, which is why we ended up at W&J and trinity instead of at home. i do know that it is an early deadline, and it could have been a thing where they're not used to going to the playoffs and it may have just slid by. that's what happened to us...

and about thiel being a dry campus, bridgewater is a dry campus as well. it's all in how you interpret "dry". i'm sure stone station will pull a family guy (a la Petoria) and pull section of land and secede from thiel's campus for the day...

Nope.  The reality is they figured that after two playoff wins at home that they probably STILL wouldn't get any respect since all of their regular season OT wins were on the road.  Thiel figured that they better put up a couple of decisive road wins in the playoffs before winning the Stagg just to earn a little more respect.  Too bad Thiel can ONLY give a proper spanking to Linfield OR Whitewater on the road and not both of them.  I'm just hoping it will be enough to nudge them ahead of W&J in the final poll ;)

Now that I have the giggles out of my system, I really came to post a note about today's Sharon Herald at http://www.sharonherald.com/ (nearby PA newspaper) regarding Thiel's Aaron Zane and Logan Malie and their diminutive size but big play.  Sorry about the link - the Herald wants money to get the full text of the article.

Plenty of football to be played THIS Saturday - no need to fuss about next week.

By the way, I meant to post this last Saturday, mid-afternoon, but was a little busy with the high school championship broadcasts:


It appears the better team won October 1st....

That's the better team, PERIOD!

Bob, it looks like turnovers killed W&J in both of their losses.  Anyway you look at it, it looks like Thiel, W&J, and Bridgewater are all pretty evenly matched.  Should be a great game this weekend.  I think turnovers will be a huge deciding factor in the game.  It will be interesting to see how Thiel's 9th ranked rushing defense does against Bridwater's 9th ranked rushing attack.  It looks like both teams have great speed.  In my opinion, the team that has the most balance on offense and wins the turnover battle will come out with the victory.

Bob.Gregg

Dutch,

I would agree.

I haven't had much opportunity to look at play-by-play or other things from Saturday's loss at Bridgewater, but these things have occurred to me:

W&J 57 passes?????

The BC folks have written about the two "gift-wrapped" tds the Presidents got off turnovers, but they fail to acknowledge the gifts were returned five-fold!  Not to mention one of those turnovers appears to have been a very catchable TOUCHDOWN pass!.  And there was that other 42-yard on-the-mark td pass drop!

I have said this for years, and I'll likely keep saying it:  This team better DECIDE to run the football alot more than they do.  Throwing 40 times a game might be a lot of fun against a team you're much better than, but 57 times against a team with which you're are even doesn't often work the way you want it to.
Been wrong before.  Will be wrong again.

Hallelujah!  Bob Gregg. Now, all the Presidents need to do is to convert the offensive line's mentality from pass to run blocking. Oh, and find a running back who can get through the line of scrimmage and into the secondary. Of course, wouldn't a lot of teams like type of runner.

And a QB who can take a snap from under center so they dont have to put their back up in to fumble on 4th and 1

BC,

QuoteAnd a QB who can take a snap from under center so they dont have to put their back up in to fumble on 4th and 1

What is that quote all about?  Something happen last week that edwards had to leave for a play or two?  Or is that something in the past with WJ please elaborate more on that for us!
