I just thgink it is funny, We are a sort of upstart league and out top four (IC, SJF, AU, SC) are better than other top fours including the njac and LL.  Any thoughts.  It is an opinion question folks......not impossing mine, but hearing yours.

Cstate, why are you startin' already...  Cortaca isnt till Nov 11th.  and believe me... IC starters dont stay in till the last minute...  just look at juvan, he was on the field alot last year-  other Bomber fans, can you back me on this

btw. cortland doesnt blow out teams b/c they take their starters out. maybe they dont do it because either:

a) they dont know how
b) they cant... with their 2nd and 3rd stringers (i.e. not much depth)
c)they have too much respect to make it a blow-out
d) some sort of mish mash of the above 3 choices
..i dunno, i havent seen 'em play since last cortaca.. so i'll reserve my answer to that question-

[bomber27]

It is called playing to the level of your opponent.  Cortland does it.  We blow out who we should, cortland plays them close.  How do you not get up for a game?  God, I work in an office right now and  I want to hit someone every Sat. when we play and I haven't played for a year and a half.  I have to try to schedule office touch games to get my shoulders broused.  Tell me cstate, how do you not get up for games? And explain the mass exodus only rivaled by the bible after my senior year whooping of ya'll on your home field.  I would love an explaination.

i am not starting..........i told everyone not one word of trash talk  would come out of my mouth all year (imagine myself trying cortaca weekend) it was strictly a question to see how people felt.........my opinion is Cortland does not know how/ or chooses not to/ or does not have the depth to blow people out........and that the top of the E8 is stronger like whoever said (top 4 teams) and the bottom of the NJAC is stronger.......as far as IC's not resting starters.......i have the buff state game TIVO'd........defensive 2's do not get onto the field until you score to go up 45-7 with 1+ min to go........I AM NOT STARTING ANY TROUBLE.....that is just my factual observation....i have praised IC all year on this board.......i have the utmost respect for them.......i am just stating the facts and seeing wht other people think

[bomber27]

Dude, you Tivo'd the IC Buff State game.  Thats incredibly awesome.  I give you one karma for such a move. 

[boobyhasgameyo]

Well it looks like pretty much everybody won who should have....


As for my previous upset special regarding Springfield.  That was booby's bad, they are really starting to concern me lol. 


Well I would chat more but i have some things to do tomorrow all day, so keep the board active for tomorrow night when i make my glorious return.

FDC- Where's the love- GO Hartwick ?

[theicdubbz]

well, its nice we got the W this weekend.. .  still recovering over not making the trip or being able to listen to the game on the radio.  ... Fish, good golly miss molly close to 30 in the first quarter... real deal!!

As for the NJAC E8 comparison... E8 is still rather young... being its 5th season and all... the programs in it though are experienced and up & coming...  NJAC, has been established...but, give the E8 about 5 more years and it should be considered a power house conference with a possible 4 to 5 teams competing for the championship!  What a conference that will be!!  Poor Norwich...

HEEEYYYYY Pumpkin Ale!!

[theicdubbz]

O-line gave the "J-gun" offense most all of the time he wanted to set up and pick out a WR....still wondering about who he should be checking off to ala Jamie Free...
KG needs the ball at least three -five more touches....it looked as if DJ could have just "chucked" it downfield at will.....

                Getting Baaaaack to where we belong....     

I think Mr. N. hit the nail on the head with the throwing the ball to our key recievers more often!!  When you have a #1 reciever dont you think you should throw to him more than 3 times a game???  If you remember all the way back to the Huntington game first drive first play long bomb down field 60 yards....... did that page of the play book fall out??  where's the air welch mentality??  No more 5 yard dumps!! down field, down field, down field!

Good win Fisher-
though you FDCers suprise me...

Go wick?

where is the love?

... Fish, good golly miss molly close to 30 in the first quarter... real deal!!

And only had the ball for 3 minutes in the first quarter....

They had two drives that consisted of One play....

Union-- Montclair State and Alfred each have only 1 loss and all to Springfield.
