Yeah that wont last long!

What kind of comment is that.  I wouldn't be so sure that CNU will finish first.  I do know that GC will not finish in last.  I am not saying at all that GC will finish first, but give them credit for beating someone other then SU in the conference.  Greensboro has two out of conference games the next two weeks.  Root for them there because it will only help CNU get a higher seed en route to the Stagg Bowl.  If they are going to win the conference.

It was all said in fun man, relax. I will say this for certain, you are right, GC WILL NOT FINISH IN FIRST THIS YEAR. Who do you think will finish last?? You think you are gonna finish ahead of Shenandoah?? I guess that meeting between those two juggernauts will decide that fate then huh?

Considering SU is 1-5 against GC and we just beat MC, and i think we will take NCWC.  That puts us at 5th in the conference. I think GC will beat one of the top 3 teams too.  I am leaning towards Methodist.  Although GC did lose to AU by one last year.  You all think about it.  5th place is what I will expect this year.

Does anyone know the status of the NCWC player who got his finger caught in a facemask and ripped off during the E&H game Saturday?

Yo Goose, I hate to bust your bubble over there in SU territory but I do belive that SU WILL be in last when the end of the season comes around. I agree with Pride that I can see us in fifth but the Hornets will get Sprayed by ALL of the USA South and die at the bottom of the conference.

he could be thinking that they'll finish ahead of m'ville, given they just beat the scots

anyone have news on what's happening in tn?  i thought the scots returned 22 starters...i didn't expect them to have 2 losses at this point in the season

Maryville will beat some teams in this conference. They are not a bad team, I just think GC is better than expected. The Scot's QB is very fast and has a great arm. GC just outscored them.

I don't think Maryville will finish last or next to last, and GC may do better than fifth . . .  I guess we will see.

Right now The Pride has to get by Southern Virginia University. 

Anyone know anything about them?  Strengths? - Weaknesses? - How good are they? etc.



BTW - Anyone else see this?

Nathan Wooten, Greensboro College - The freshman defensive lineman from Mt. Holly, North Carolina helped The Pride hold Maryville to 246 total yards in a 39-36 overtime victory over for the Pride over the Fighting Scots. Wooten collected three solo takes and assisted on four others. He also had two sacks for a loss of 16 yards.

Way to go Nathan!! Another Pride Rookie getting attention!!

Wow, I had NO IDEA i was in Shenandoah territory down here in Newport News. Last I checked, I was CNU fan. But I may be suffering from some sort of temporary amnesia. CNU85, anychance you can help me out with this?

Last I heard they had sewed it back on and set it on Saturday and  thought with a couple more operations and some time to heal he would save the finger.  (It apparently was only hanging on by some skin on Saturday.)

Wow.  I'm sure that was (and still is) a painful and traumatic event.  I wish him the best!

wow...never heard of anything like that happening, although i did get my finger caught in my catchers mask once (try catching a pop-up with a mitt on one hand while trying to shake the mask off with the other) - my pop-up trauma didn't come close to comparing to what that young man has been dealing with the last few days...hope everything turns out well for him

Wow..hope he is doing fine.  I never heard of that either.  In high school my sophmore year of football our starting center in the middle of lineman drills had is arm sliced on the metal of the chin strap right where it buttons up.  I think 13 stiches. But nothing at that level.

I was coaching 11-13 year-olds (jr midgets) in a city championship game and my starting center/linebacker tackled a runner at the yard marker and went out-of-bounds. It was night and raining and the person holding the chains was inexperienced and held onto the post. The kid took 18 or 19 stitches to his hand when he sliced it on the chains. Showed me the importance of having someone who knows what they're doing when they do chains. The guy should have dropped the chains, but he held on and caused the injury. The kid went to the hospital and we missed him in the rain at center, but we did hold on to win.

The kid turned out to be ok, played for me for three years in basketball & football, 3 year varsity starter and then intercepted my son twice in a HS game when he was a senior and my son was a sophmore QB.  I asked him if that was payback     He was a good kid . . .

On the finger incident - just curious - was there a facemask call on the play? 

Hope everything works out ok for him - but he will sure have a story to tell his grandkids!  8)

Those were interesting articles, narch, especially the one about Bartee. Before reading that, I felt somewhat in the dark about the Monarch's new QB. The story was a good take on his character.
