That Alfred/SJF game was science.

Hobart just took SJF to the woodshed, and Alfred was already looking towards the playoffs.  Another reason why I think Ithaca actually has a chance this weekend.  SJF might come down a little after a big win.

I would make the same argument about the Hobart game for Fisher. Just came off a huge win in a rivalry game, and playing a HUGE game against a conference rival that you havce not beat in a few years the following week. It was bound to happen...right?

Not sure I'm following you.  Who is the conference rival?

Alfred in this case.

Ok maybe I wasn't clear.  I thought that Hobart taking SJF to the woodshed did help SJF focus on the Alfred game.

Well maybe I'm wrong because I can't speak for Cards but I assume he read that as you giving a reason why Alfred lost and said that same logic could be applied to Fisher looking ahead and not focusing on Hobart. 

I personally like Fisher's chances this weekend.  If Ithaca's offense is struggling to the degree many of you have stated, combined with the fact at this point in this season I am going to hold the belief that the Hobart game was an aberration and not the norm defensively, I don't see Ithaca putting many points on the board.  Though our offense is the opposite of good...so I could say the same thing about how much we will score against Ithaca's defense.  But I'm a Fisher guy so I will say somehow we'll find a way. 

Early prediction:

Fisher - 24 (one defensive touchdown in that mix)
Ithaca - 17 (special teams consistently puts Ithaca in good field position and they capitalize a few times)

Yes. Maybe I misread. My apologies.

Ahhhhhh....remember the 'ol days when there were 18 posts in a ten minute span during SJF-IC week, not 18 all week, and 16 of those have been about what affect SJF getting pummeled 2 weeks ago had on their victory LAST week.    I miss IC being good. just tryin.... ::)

GO FISHER!!!

Really looking forward to tomorrow.  Weather should be perfect, it's unofficially homecoming weekend (actual homecoming is next week but no home game??), and the Bombers have a chance to put themselves right back in the mix.  The game really rests with hendel's arm - if he can limit the turnovers and play like he did the first half against Hartwick, things will take care of themselves.  For those that are going I'll see you there!  Go Bombers.

Maybe this puts it best:

This is a HUGE ****ING game for IC

I wonder if this will be the year that Ithaca ends their 5 year drought and does something like this...
