Any info on the MSU - Kean Game?

[phil]

Montclair 3-0 over Kean in OT

Can't wait for Dave to fill us in on this gem! I can't imagine what was more exciting – watching the football "action" or the torrential rain rolling off the opposite sides of the old fashioned, hunchbacked astroturf!

[RU Fan]

I'll just hang tight, watch Rutgers blow another game and see how much negative Karma RUFan can rack up.

Phil, Phil, Phil

I was just chilling at the keyboard and thinking about how nice I've been to you lately and then you have to rattle my cage.  You know what a caring and sensitive person I am. Shame on you! 

Alert your loyal legions of admirers to prepare for your defense.  After some introspective pondering, just to liven things up a bit, I'll hunt and peck a retaliatory post later in the week when the board cools down ....... after everyone digests this weeks games.

Until then, thanks for remembering me

Got back a little while ago. I still feel wet. These were the worst conditions I have seen. The Montclair defense was great today. On the other hand the offense, well what offfense. 3 and out was the word of the day. Thats what happens when your O line is 1 Jr and 4 sophs. I have not seen the numbers, but I will guess that the D was on the field 75% of the time. They are to be commended. There were a lot of fumbled snaps. I can not emphasise how bad the rain was !!! The O has to give the D a rest. 3 and outs will not cut it. During OT we had third and real long. Ferriol scrambled close to a TD and we got the field goal. When Kean got the ball Sal Fama caused the turnover and game over. A win is a win and I'll take it.

Was able to make the halftime ceremonies for Sam Mills.  What a downpour.  Hung out in the tents waiting for it to start.  Interviewed a few people, but couldn't get Bart Oates.  Said he'd talk to me but bailed right after the presentation.  Oh well, the weather was awful so I guess I don't blame him.

More in the ATR later this week.

JT,

You gotta rub it in. You in the tents and me cheering them on from the top of the 50. I will take the "W" 

[JT]

Dave,

Gotta protect the camera gear.  If it was reasonably dry I would have covered the whole game. 

I was standing next to Bart Oates right before the ceremony... here was basically the exchange.

Me:  Hi Bart, I'm covering this for d3football.com.  Can I ask you a few questions about Sam when this ceremony is over.

Him:  Where are you from?

Me: d3football.com

Him: btree dot what?

Me: d3football.com we cover Division 3 college football

Him:  What's D3 football

Me:  Small college, non-scholarship football  (pointing to the players on the field) them.... Sam too.

Him: Oh yeah.... sure.

Me: So I'll meet you back at the tent to ask a couple of questions about the Philly Stars days with Sam.

Him: Sure.

End result... he vaporized.  He didn't look to happy to be there in the bad weather.

JT,

Sounds like he needed to go to the gas station for a few bells of air. Talk about being prepared. I was also shocked to see Cole there. That did impress me. It took my daughter to graduate for it to happen.

Congratulations! 

3-0 win is the same as any other win.  What's the difference if its 43-40 or 3-0

Feel good about the win!

[rams1102]

RU,

Thanks, and you bet your sweet A#$ I do.

its desicion saturday in the NJAC!! even though most of the NJAC/Jersey lovers would love for the automatic bid to come down to tcny/ru..... not this year or the last few either!! so lets get this room going its time for a champion to be crowned!!

[rams1102]

cstater,

The last big game was when MSU beat Rowan at home. Not TCNJ. Get your facts straight. They were nocked out of the play-offs. We paid the price the next year. Boy did it hurt at home. You guys are a tough team, don't get too cicky and let's see what happens this Saturday.

[ACMob]

Dave, you are the HONORARY captain for RU this week!!  

[rams1102]

ACMob,

Let's not get too crazy.


Pick-Em is set up with the exception of the spreads. Off on a business trip and not back until Thursday night. I'll fill them in then, unless someone elso wants to do it earlier. It's on the Pick-Em board.
