FB: USA South Athletic Conference

[Ryan Tipps]

Anyone have anything on Averett-Methodist?

Background:  I am a MUC Purple Raider, but took interest in your conference when assigned to Langley AFB.  At that time, CNU started football, and a York H.S. Falcon (my kids' high school) went to play fullback at Ferrum.  With Averett being brave/forward-looking enough to Schedule Mount Union this season, I have been following their season.  They are my sentimental pick to win the USASAC!

Nice to have you around Billy. Good to see another Midwesterner on the hunt for the Averett-Methodist score. I'm checking both of the school's sites, as well as the d3football big board, but nothing yet.

Ferrum cannot get 1st down, and has to punt

Come on Ferrum!! Get some legs in the 4th!! And Allen, I'm a fan of your play-by-play, but if you want to cut down on the number of posts, just keep modifying your most recent post. Cuts down on the clutter.

whew...I missed the final score by 2....I figured with the weather that CNU would miss a PAT and then try for 2 and get stopped.

I'm dry now....hot shower and starbucks helps!!!

about the game:

The weather won the first half.....neither team could do squat....53 total offensive yards for both teams in the first half.

Second half was a little better and CNU took advantage.

I mentioned this 2 years ago and completely forgot about it until the middle of the game. GC lacks discipline and it's all on the coach! I'm not talking about the 3-4-5 personal fouls or the game ejection on #51 (he can play!!). I'm talking about 75% of the team having their shirt tails out.......as a former youth coach in various sports I would not tolerate it. CNU doesn't either (ahem....#48 your jeresy was out in the 4th qt), I know it may sound trivial....but if you look sloppy, you're gonna play sloppy. And THAT is the COACHES issue. GC will NEVER be at the top of the conference with that coach. It's just my opinion.

GC also gave up mid way through the 3rd.....lack of discipline. Lowe watched a punt land 1 yard away from him with the closet CNU defender 1o yards away and the team down 14......you need your play maker to make plays, not wacth the ball drop. Sure it was wet, and he could have fumbled....are you playing to win or playing to not fumble?...you're down 14.....make a play or go sit down. I was just as effective on that play and I was 25 rows up!!

I was seriously wondering if the Hampton High Crabbers could beat GC  -  and I HATE the Crabbers......I think they would win!

Maryville threatening 6:55 left and Pitts is injured

Final Score

Maryville 20

FC  14 

Maryville misses  2 FG's it should have been worse.

Ouch. I wonder if anyone saw this coming....   

[CNU85]

dang...CNU better be ready to play once they get off the bus next week!!

[D3Newbie]

2. Llama - great guy...a little slow

I resemble that comment!

Finally - my prediction for today's game...if it's still on... I hear thunder.....this will be a low scoring game due to the weather. It's not currently raniing but the entire area is soaked........GC will be shutout! CNU wins 26-0....a dry sunny day and it would be 49-0.

Lets call him CNU85 "The Greek". Great call on your Captains today.

Yeah, Thank Goodness it wasn't 'A Dry and Sunny Day' = = = 49-0 would have really been sad!

Good call CNU85!!

[narch]

cougars win 28-25...monarchs had their chances but didn't capitalize - au could not run AT ALL on the monarchs - honestly, the better team lost today because they made too many mistakes - and the monarchs made some BAD mistakes - after going up 25-21 they get an excessive celebration call and then give up about a 25 yard return, then after stuffing au on 2 straight plays and stopping them for a short gain on 3rd and 8 a d-lineman barrels the au qb after about taking about 3 steps...15 yard penalty, drive still alive - au had 3 big plays that killed mc - a perfectly thrown pass to hughley on 3rd and long just before half that led to a prefectly thrown td pass and made it 14-10 at the half, then a trick play for a td after a nice return to make it 21-10 - parks started at qb and looked very solid - he threw an int in the endzone that went off a wide open receivers hands (taking 6 points off the board) and he threw an int on a tipped ball on the last mc drive, but the threat of the pass really seemed to open things up - hill and matthews both ran effectively, with hill scoring 2 td's - it was a very good (but frustrating) game, and one the monarchs let slip away...sometimes these things happen

any word on the severity of the pitts injury?

[cnusfinest54]

Dude, just trying to figure out who he is.

By crying about someone who's number was 97 and was HELD all day by W&J in 2004? 


Papi,
The National Championship comment refered to why BC or any team schedules itself the best way possible to get into the playoffs. I can guarantee that if you are not invited to the playoffs, you will never win a Nat'l Championship. Check the posts, no where was it even mentioned about BC's appearance in the 2001 Nat'l Championship game, atleast by me. I saw the clip just like the rest of you and have never once bragged about making it to the Stagg Bowl. The NCAA made the decision not to overturn the result and I don't even address anyone about it anymore. Wouldn't want to live in the past you know!

[/color

Bottom line is you can't really put our history up against the likes of any team thats been around for 10 plus years.  You should however put our playoff/regular season record up against any team that has only been around for 6 seasons or so. I am pretty confident that we would then hold our own.

Llama dude come on buddy you cant pull past playoff wins etc to make your points and then make statements like "wouldn't want to live in the past you know" mayb a little sarcasm I dunno.

Bottom line is you brought up the WHAT IF CARD just like Olinemom brought up the WE CANT FIND TEAMS TO PLAY card. She vanished after that statement but I find it very interesting how you elected to avoid replying to my last post. (Seems like you and your head coach have a few things in common) avoiding tough CNU post/ games.  
And the NCAA response doesn't fly with me because they seem to not correct their mistakes even if they admite to them. If you need and example: OU/ Oregon game.

And you would be a fool to not think that a lot of the success your team has had to this day is not a direct result to your team playing in that NC game.

So I ask you and the Kid about how many great players came to Bwater solely on the fact of your boy Clark pitching them "Come to Bwater son you will have a legitimate chance of playing in the NC game on ESPN and going at least to the playoffs.


O yeah good win for the CAPS today.

Told you Pride fans about Pomoco.

Finest,
Are you actually reading the posts or are you just skimming them?
1) The playoff records were requested by your own CNULifer so talk to him if you have issues with it being brought up.
2)The What If card was brought up to answer the question, Has CNU's scheduling hurt them in the past. I'll drop the what if b'cus simply it doesn't matter as long as CNU continues to take care of their USAC business as they are now. I would like nothing more than to see CNU at Jopson field on November 18th.
As for Olinemom, she is a professor at BC and gets on here like once a week so I'm sure see will see your posts in due time. I don't make, back, or analyze her posts.

By the way, congrats on another win today.

[wrighthall220]

WOW even the great Pat C. is a Bwater fan. THE THING THAT STARTED ALL OF THIS WAS THE COMMENT MADE BY OLINEMOM. SHE STATED THAT BWATER HAS A HARD TIME FINDING TEAMS TO PLAY. YOU CANT CRY ABOUT FINDING TEAMS TO PLAY IF YOUR COACH IS DUCKING THE GOOD ONES END OF DISCUSSION.

Question then, Had there not been a fumble at the goalline Week 2 would you still be saying it hasn't hurt them? They would have 2 losses and no doubt that the only way into the playoffs is to win the NEW balanced USAC.


Come on Llama don't even go there with the what ifs. Last time I checked IF IT WASN'T FROM AN EXXXXXXXXTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNDED CLOCK BWATER JUST MIGHT NOT HAVE MADE THAT LEAP INTO A NATIONAL POWERHOUSE. And then Pat wouldn't be able to come on here and say "well they have gotten a lot closer than CNU".  A lot of the success that your team has gotten now came from a game that they SHOULD HAVE NEVER PLAYED IN. And kid is real good with stats, pictures, and video clips. I think the Rowan clip was titled "when time stood still". I watched that clip and THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL YOU GET TWO PLAYS OFf IN LESS THAN 10 SECONDS. So don't you ever talk what ifs with me.  Yeah your home clock operator probably got a NICE GIFT IN THE MAIL FROM BC ALUMNUS. 

But I will give you BC fans some credit. Your following is SO GREAT NOW THAT YOU EVEN GOT THE BC BLINDERS ON THE CREATOR OF THIS WEBSITE.

Its just real funny how you guys try to forget your dirty past. WOW!!!

So I'm going to take a guess and say CNU has made the Quarterfinals of the NCAA DIII Football playoffs 4 times because BC has been there 3 times.. how about the Semifinals? Do you want to go there? Why are you all so upset? We're currently 10-6 in the playoffs.. how many wins does CNU have?   It's not like we stood you up for the prom.. it's not like we're in the same conference.. join the freaking ODAC if you don't like Bridgewater.. hell make it past the 2nd round of the playoffs and we'll talk.  Bridgewater EARNED it's spot and we've played well EVERY year we've been in the playoffs.  To be honest with you, once you make the playoffs your previous schedule is meaningless.   This debate is truly funny as it seems like you all were stood up for the prom..we told you we found better dates and we're sorry but  we just don't see things working out right now.  Maybe we'll all kiss and make up at a certain point but we've got our own goals..and CNU just doesn't fit the bill.  Sorry.   

[wrighthall220]

Best line I've ever read here and I've read these boards since 99..

But I will give you BC fans some credit. Your following is SO GREAT NOW THAT YOU EVEN GOT THE BC BLINDERS ON THE CREATOR OF THIS WEBSITE.
Its just real funny how you guys try to forget your dirty past. WOW!!!

Dear Lord.. now talk about someone that has their own home made blinders on...

Since when is it BAD to have a strong fanbase?  Since when is it wrong to be PROUD of your program.. one that some of us have helped to build be it in the 80's, 90's or even 2000's.  I guess some of you have never had the chance to read DI fan sites.. talk about doing no wrong!    Some of those folks are out of control!  Pat has been a big fan of DIVISION III SPORTS.. the last time I checked it wasn't BC on the main page logo it's Mount Union.. who DESERVES to be there.  Pat has a great knowledge of Division III sports and he in my opinion would NEVER make a comment here that he didn't fully believe.  Bridgewater has earned it's respect.  Which means, yes that you need to live in the past to a degree.  By the way we're not living and spouting off irrelevant facts from the 1940's (see Washington and Lee if you want those)  we're talking about numbers from 2000 through 2006.  That's it!  When people talk about Mount Union they mention the many, many titles they have because it is something to be PROUD of and has earned them respect.. is that wrong too?   

I understand that some of you guys are passionate about your mighty CNU.. there's nothing wrong with that... but at some point you can argue yourself into looking like a moron.  (we all know you're not) 


Just a little back ground on the Rowan game.. I was a member of that team.. I think we should have forfiet the game.. but the NCAA made the decision for us.  There's not much you can do but go on to the next game and play your heart out.   Also, there were many, many problems with that game.. there were several times where BC could have cried foul had the game NOT gone our way so to say that's our "dirty past" is a little absurd in itself.   Would it have been any better if we got a second 3rd down some where during the game?  That's happened before.  How about a touchdown taken away because it wasn't clearly seen by the Ref?  That happened in the BC game.  How about an onside kick that didn't quite go 10 yards.. hell that happened just a few weeks ago during a Oregon game.  So where exactly is BC at fault?  How are it's fans at fault?  How are the players at fault?  The NCAA made a ruling and we played on.  Tell me would CNU  not do the same?

(FYI.. the whole 01.. 01..01 arguement is pretty played out.. it doesn't so much bother BC or it's fans anymore.. in fact we're pretty good at talking anyone through the damn thing!  )

Yeah you got me. Sometimes I gota skim thru post. My girlfriend doesn't find D 3 post that exciting so sometimes I gota respond rather quick.    and get back to giving her some QT.

As for the what if stuff I'll take that response, but you still haven't answered my ? yet.  So Im guessing I kinda know the answer to that one.

As far as Jopson goes I dunno 10-0 Bwater and a 9-1 Caps. By strength of SOS I think the Caps would get the home game.

Like I said earlier I never had any ill will towards the Eagles unless they play the Capts. To be honest I talked a lot of trash when I played and even though it hurt at the time (the chants of overated after the playoff loss) it made it that much more sweeter to return the favor in the Oyster Bowl.

Eh we'll beat you all where ever you want to play..

3. CNU LIfer - can't be older than 24......
4. all others - don't lump me into the same category as "CNUers" when you are responding to comments from Lifer....I like his passion, but don't necessarily agree with his comments

Hey, why can I not be say 31,  a 2000 Business Grad, a real estate broker / VP and an owner of a construction / Development company?  did you not read my ealier posts?
Is it because I have an unbridled passion for football.  Yes, crazy things come out of my head sometimes.  A lot of the internal frustration from watching so much talent coming through CNU and somehow it is not always harnessed to its full potential.  Like today.  Again we won.  But I am still not completely sold on CNU's abilities.  D is very good, but O still has not figured what they are doing.  There have been steps in the right direction each and every week this year.  I just don't know how good we are.  


and one for the road on LLamas last comments.

some of those web guru's need to clarify some stuff for me on this but if CNU, UMHB, and BC win out.  Wont CNU have a better quality of wins average or something.  I could be wrong but BC may just have to come through POMOCO on there way to the stagg bowl this year.  Again because of soft scheduling.  I will not bring up BC again.  did make for a live board though.

LLama, thanks again for time on those stats, I thought it was pretty cool from either view point.

wrighthall220,

I would rather be the child with its hand raised against the big bad guys instead of running under the porch like a whooped dog.  Yeah BC is good and have been good for while.  We are the new kid and we want what you have got.  Is that why you guys focus on coming down on CNU supporters so hard.  Are we taking the attention from you guys just a little.  2-2 heads up is not too shabby from my side of the field.  Again many thanks to LLama for the add space.
