Who would of thought it might take the Bison to win a game for the PAC the first weekend?

Whups - just got my answer from the waynesburg.edu site = Waynesburg 14 Wesley 41.

There is no need to be technical about what happened in Washington today.  They were beaten by a more physical team. 

I don't mean to take away anything from Salisbury by ripping on W&J, but that is where my loyalties lie.  An absolute embarrassment in the trenches.  One of the things I have been concerned about this program under the current staff is their tendency to 'finesse' most of their opponents through their skill positions. 

I can understand the inability to do that with the key senior losses in skill positions, but this team did return basically their offensive line and a pretty good running back with them. 

What a waste of an afternoon watching this beat down.   >:(

A bit on the ugly side, but we'll take it.  Both teams had opportunities to put more points on the scoreboard, with Geneva's fumble of the snap down near the Thiel goal line on 4th down in the early going really being a critical point in this game.  The Darkside D settled down after that and wasn't really tested again until Geneva's final possession of the game.  They bent, but did not break, allowing Geneva to move all of the way down the field with about 3 minutes left, allowing Geneva to convert two 4th downs along the way, until finally getting a 4th down stop on the 4-yard-line in the dying moments of the game.

Blankenship's first INT was bad, but really the only gut-wrenching moment provided by the offense.  The second INT came on 4th down in the Geneva end and was not nearly as critical.  Dane Jones and Tim Van Horn both made good catches throughout the game to keep the sticks moving for Thiel's offense.  It would have been nice to see Blankenship complete one of those deep balls that he overthrew, had Van Horn caught one early, possibly a 98-yard touchdown completion!  (school record, also, perhaps?)  Shoulda, woulda, coulda!

All in all, a good win versus a quality opponent on a slippery field.  More polish will be needed to keep the W's coming, but a good way to get the season underway.  Two consecutive heart-stopping finishes in regular season games for the Cardiac Cats! (3OT vs. CMU)

Congratulations to the Tomcats on a tight win.  The offense wasn't as crisp as it was last year, but it is to be expected from a somewhat young offense.  You can bet they will make vast improvements in the weeks to come.

The Darkside defense on the other hand posted a shutout, which is what I expect from a Rossi defense with that much experience. 

Keep it up Tomcats!!!!!!!

Nice to see you back lurking in the PAC forum. I know my brother and I miss your RA meetings back in Bane Hall home on the Code Red's. Hope things are well and you are right on target about expecting the best from the Rossi defense!
GO TOMCATS!!!

Any Tomcat fans making the trip to Alfred this Saturday?

Let's hope for a dry day in Saxonville. A scrimmage scheduled for Brockport's natural grass turf was moved to Merrill Field's astroturf thanks to Ernesto, and, according to a Brockport fan, was a waste of time.

Nice to see both the Tomcat and Saxon programs having good success of late...I remember AU's few years in the PAC and the dog fights with the Tomcats!

GO SAXONS!!
On Saxon Warriors! On to Victory!
...Fight, fight for Alfred, A-L-F, R-E-D!

I had considered making the trip to Alfred, but I think that I will be going to the Carnegie Mellon @ Grove City game instead.  I'm looking forward to seeing those two Wing-T offenses go at it and I'm also interested in seeing the improvements that GCC has made to Thorn Field.

I don't really recall any "dog fights" between Alfred and Thiel.  I remember being a freshman in '96 and watching the Saxons whip us. :'(

ThielFan:

At Thorn Field, in addition to the Wing-T Festival (will the tailgaters be serving up wings?), you'll see a great marching band, to boot.

So I see Thiel drops out of the top 25 after posting a win over Geneva who was ranked #20 in D2 NAIA.......interesting.
