FB: Presidents' Athletic Conference

SaintsFAN...

Just got back from Bethany and it was great watching football in the fall up north. Bison offense finally hit on all cylinders with QB Joyner throwing for 321 and WRs Cruse(12) & McNeil(8) with 20 catches for 273. Joyner also ran for 2 scores and could be Offensive Player of the Week. BC had 503 total yards.

Looking forward to a good game next week with TMC in Bethany. Tough loss for Saints on Saturday.

willy,

thats good....congrats.

The Saints are going to be pissed this week. . . combination of Geneva and last year's Bethany.

Took a bye week on the predictions but i will be back for the games this week. Good win for the Prez this wk. The last few years have not been kind in GC for them. This years team did not overlook the wolverines and handled business. This team is very focused and will be very ready for the showdown this week. If there is one thing i like about this matchup is that Waynesburg is one dimensional. W&J has a great history of shutting down big time RB's. The last time the Prez faced the Rushing leader was against Wilkes in the ECAC bowl in 2003 and he was shut down. I do not think this game is going to be as good as the hype but we are going to find out very soon.

BigErn - It's a shame to hear stuff like that about the coach at my alma mater. It wasn't offensive at all.  your prediction of WU losing to Thiel was offensive.  Just Kidding. 

I was at the game this past weekend.  I was impressed with the Jackets D.  Although TC made adjustments at half time and did start to move the ball a little more - I thought they looked alright.  Thiel had some nice athletes but looked really small up front on O and D.  I think heller is going to have a tough time keeping his stats up because teams are keying on him.  My only real disappointment was the QB.  I think he is just a freshman, so hopefully he will improve.  Can't say I agreed with all of the play calling also.  But a win is a win and the JACKETS are 7-0!!!!!

Another tough weekend for my Tomcats.  It looks like this will be a rebuilding year for the Cats, but I'm confident that in the years to come they will return to their winning ways.  That young Offense reminds me of the Offense my first few years as a Tomcat.  They were talented, but lacked the experience to consistently dominate.  As the years went by they gained the experience they needed, and  By the 05 season they could shoot it out with anyone in the conference.  Thiel is not at the point yet as a program to consistently maintain the level of exellence the 05' squad displayed, but trust me, under Coach Leip, they are on their way.
The GREAT news is that my lil bro Steve Minton is up and about, even though he won't be playing anymore ball the Tomcat faithfull are happy he's doing well.  I don't think anyone will argue that he has nothing left to prove.
Also, I'm glad to see that the tone on PostPatterns has taken a more positive tone than the last time I logged on.  Even Bigern seems to have joined in on the act.  I guess that tongue lashing me and Pitt gave him set him straight.  Just messing wit ya Big.  A little trash talking is cool, many of us did it as players, but I'm glad were all keeping it positive. 
Lastly, I want to give a shout out to my main man EC Warrior AKA Mr. Wilmus #14, who I bumped into at the Thiel/W&J game.  I didn't expect a PRESIDENT to be that cool.  Kidding!

[Bigernernwj69]

Well Dark it was not so much the tongue lashing from you two, because i can handle some tongue lashing. It was that my karma points were going down. i am not a fan of being in the negative. So i lightened up so my points can go up. I know we talked a lot of trash on the field when we played, whether it was me talking after a score or high low with one of my tackles, it was all fun. Now that i am in the real world i do not get a chance to display my verbal assault on anybody. It would be kind of difficult to keep a job if you came into the office after a sale and started jaw jacking your fellow co-workers. Or if i called done of my competitors up and started on them (i think that's called harassment). That's why posting on here is so much fun.

I would like to comment on my predictions from last week. One i am pretty good at calling out the victories just like in my glory days such as calling the Bethany win and passing bonanza, J/K, but i really thought that Thiel would beat Waynesburg. I bet the reason why Thiel did not win is because Shep decided not to start a fight with Thiel College like they did the year before, when Shep lead the boys over to Thiel as they were coming on the field. I am very hopeful that the yellow jackets try that mess when they play the boys in RED & BLACK come down there this weekend.  That's another thing I forgot to bring up about Shep last week is that last year he tried to bully teams by having his boys start a fight with the other team before the game started. He did it at Thiel last year and at W&J, but I think he got away from that since both teams did not back down from his approach.  Now don't get me wrong i think that it is awesome that two teams in the PAC are doing well, but i wish it was any other team than Waynesburg. I am not a fan of the school at all; i am not a fan of the head coach. The only person i know and care for is Scotty V. To be honest with you i rather the presidents be winless then to have WC undefeated.
I am going to stop now before i get to crazy with my comments.

Saint I am coming down next week what's your status on coming to the game. Tennessee is out of contention and Notre Dame has no chance. Come to the stadium and share a drink.

[PittTBCW]

Glad to see the board being active!

Definatly a big game for the PAC this week as the two unbeatens go head to head. I think W&J will be a good test for the Waynesburg D as Heller will be a good test for the President D.

[Wes Mantooth]

I think that Waynesburg's D is overated. I am not saying they are not good but they did give up 35 points to Wooster who is not the same Scots team as they have been in the past with Tony Sutton. I think W&J will be able to move the ball all day on the Jackets. I am concerned about the defense and special teams for the prez as that could cost them the game. The defense seems to be better than in years past but still something is missing. Good individual Match up between Gitlitz and Heller. I doubt Heller has been hit by a bigger or faster LB this year as Gitlitz goes 6-3 240 and can move.

[EC Warrior]

Thanks for the shoutout Darkside, it was nice meeting you, and it's always nice to hear from my fanclub.

Here is a question for everyone, who is more important to their offense, Swallow or Heller?  And who does everyone think will have the better game on Saturday.

Balwin High football rules, more than Knibb High.

Whoa there EC!  I was just giving u a shout out I'm definitely not part of your FANCLUB.  I think that's some of that W&J arrogance rearing its ugly head again.  I guess that's what I get for trying to get along with a President, besides I don't think u were even good enough to have a fanclub.  Don't make me have to get Brandon Chambers to take care of you, AGAIN!!!!

hahaha, AGAIN??? I don't remember the first time haha

[Bob.Gregg]

Now THIS is the PAC board I remember...

[EC Warrior]

Bob, since you see the majority of W&J games, do you ever notice that when the Presidents miss an extra point or get it blocked, that Sirianni ALWAYS goes for 2 on the next TD.  It doesn't matter if it's the first quarter or the fourth, there is a 100% chance he will try to make up that one point.  I think this is an awful strategy, and is a problem in the NFL as well.  Do you ever recall a time that he did not do this?

[Bob.Gregg]

The misses haven't happened alot, though they've happened alot more often this year.

He does, regularly, go for two, particularly in the first half with the game still "in question"...

Sometime in the past, I'd heard a "general rule" about that, but, for the life of me, can't remember what it is....

I haven't really perceived a problem with Coach's decisions on this...

[EC Warrior]

As long as this doesn't come up in a close game then I guess your right.
