Very nice story. He sounds like one heck of a man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

indeed he is and so is the rest of the rowan football team, this past spring they as well as many other local teams reached out to their campuses to try to get as many people to sign up for the bone marrow registry program and hopefully more young men like matt hoffman get the opportunity to save another's life

Props and best of luck to Matt Hoffman. Class act!

Can we get another Kardashian update?

HTV: Is Kourtney Kardashian Getting Married?

Yea, she isn't going to rain on Chloes parade this early.  That makes me think though, Bruce was not happy with Lamar but seemed to ease up once a few brews got into him.  Do you think Bruce was just putting on a show or has he simply accepted the fact that Lamar is part of the family now?

I think Bruce was pissed.  I would be.  It will be a divorce in 12-18 months.  And yes...I watch the show.  Hard not to.

Bruce should be pissed, he should have clobbered her with one of his gold medals! Still there is something about that Chloe...maybe it's dlip's Napoleon complex but...

Chloe has the face of a donkey...and it looks like her sisters beat her within an inch of her life with the ugly stick...but she is getting paid, so I gotta give her that.

TCNJ vs. Rowan: Need I say more?
http://wp.me/pChoN-km

Anyone got some stories from the rivalry? I'm pretty sure it's among the fiercest in the conference, even though it's been lacking in competitiveness (I think the analogy I used was USC vs. ND), but hey, that's why this is a forum, right?

Thoughts?

Better, where would you guys rank your Top 5 NJAC rivalries and based on what criteria?

He should get an extra year of eligibility.

[Time to be talking Montclair / Kean. This Hammond guy is really pissing me off. Let's open up a board for him and let him go away. I'm surprised Phil hasn't jumped in.

Can't believe the size of the Kean "D" line. The Montclair "O" line better be quick.]

I kind of have to agree.

It's no disrespect to the Red Hawks' hogs, but they got handled by TCNJ's undersized D-line. The Lions front-four are a talented group that's underperformed most of the season, but--based on that performance alone--I can't see Bliss or Fischer getting going against Williams and that stout Cougar first-level.

No disrespect to MSU, but even if Kean's D is only marginally more talented than TCNJ's boys, they're massive. Maybe it's a prediction sure to go wrong, but I'm calling at least 30 rush yards in the red to go against whatever Montclair is able to muster positively.

Advantage Kean.

How has D'Ambrisi looked? Kid's got a cannon but he hasn't been asked of much for most of the year (why would you, when you've got Chunn). Still, if this team hopes to go far, I really believe he's going to have to excel when he's asked to, and I'm curious whether anyone thinks he's got the goods -- this year.

God knows he'll be dirty as a junior, and a preseason front-runner for NJAC Offensive POTY in 2011.

Nice to see some thought put into the post. Much better then a blurb and a web site to check out.

You are correct that Chunn is a monster, the "D" line huge, but this will be one of the biggest games that Kean has faced. You will be surprised by the Montclair "D" and I think that Chunn will be held to 90-110 yards. Weather and turnovers will be key. This is Fishers time to step up and become a Red Hawk. I was a nice win for Montclair to go to Rowan and win. Time will tell. My guess, Montclair in a close one.

**********************************************

So I'm curious, what's been everyone's take on TCNJ? Offense, defense, Chris James, stacked senior wideouts? I'm not trying to filter anyone out, but I'm much more interested in fan opinions based on what they've actually seen.

And please, no numbers. My head is throbbing from them.

I can't help but wonder--two blown fourth-down tries against Kean (kudos to Cougar D for getting big when it needed to) and three missed field goals against Montclair State University. Maybe SUNY-Cortland wasn't a winnable game. But the Lions had Willie P on the ropes--and if you're trying to talk about teams much more talented than their records suggest, well, there you go.

Aside from three inexcusable let-downs against West Conn, they without question win that game too. Probably could have anyway. But [stuff] happens, right?

It's hard because I've watched these guys since training camp and I've believed they could contend since August--maybe even before. But I obviously haven't had the same opportunity with any other program.

So, D3Football.com, you decide. Was TCNJ ever a viable contender for the NJAC, or was 2007--and early 2009--an anomoly?

Dave, I should be at the game tomorrow, possibly with MKS and the stalkerette, well maybe the Stalkerette if sponge bob doesn't win out.

Unfortunately I woke up this morning with my back in a good spasm.  I will not make it.  Hopefully Kean or MSU hosts a first round game.

[pg04]

MSU leads Kean 7-6 with less than 10 mins to go in the game, MSU has the ball... right down to the wire!

[pg04]

Montclair wins 14-6.  NJAC Champions!
