Random question to kill some time:

Would you prefer your favorite team have a great offense and lousy defense or an elite defense but weak offense?

   DEFENSE...no question.  You can"t see me but I'm waving a large "D" in one hand and a piece of fence in the other!

Keith is picking Otterbein to beat Fisher Saterday.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Ott's best player, All-American DE Pat Seesholtz, is hurt and might not even play.  Based on what I saw last year I wouldn't be too worried about their offense.  Definitely nothing spectacular on that side of the ball unless they have some new faces.  SJF certainly can't just show up and win, but I think they'll leave Westerville with a 'W' tomorrow and likely by a couple scores.

As soon as I saw the "Most likely Top 25 team to get upset" section I knew Keith would pick Fisher.  I just had a feeling and he proved me right.  Let's hope Fisher proves him wrong.

I have yet to actually read your post, but I am giving you a +k for your name. Classic Scrubs!

Happy game day boys! Enjoy the start of the season.

Utica up 22-6 at the half against Lewis and Clark

I would like to make sure that Keith Mc...sees this Fisher score.....
Upset my ear.
Hey Kev----missed the boat on that pick huh?

[boobyhasgameyo]

In fairness to Keith it is the first game of the year.  Nobody knows how good or bad you will be. 

My favorite stat so far with 1 minute to go in the 4th

Otterbein has 28 rush attempts for 7 yards. 

.20 yards per carry.  Not too shabby.

boob I agree, but the jabs go back a few years....
glad to make his meal crow

Ehhh.  When I first saw that he picked against us again I wanted to say the same thing - that he constantly does that when it comes to Fisher.  But I definitely remember him giving Fisher props at different times as well.  So I think what it comes down to for me is I just hate when people have any negative predictions against the cardinals 

[fisheralum91]

boob - I get it...
just glad to win a good one on the road against a quality OOC team!

[sjfcards]

A good start today for Fisher and the rest of the E8. Fisher goes on the road and beats a quality OAC team by 4 touchdowns, Buff State travels and beats are top level NJAC team in Cortland, and Utica sends Lewis & Clark back to Oregon with a L. Ithaca won today as well. Now to see what Salisbury does?

For Fisher today I thought it was a little sloppy, but they were clearly the better team. Too many penalties, and some plays that looked really messy, but all in all a really good way to start the season. A challenge on the road, that will make them better in the weeks to come.

Except for that rediculous ejection it was about as good an outcome as I would have hoped for. Does Moore have to sit out the first half next week?

Very efficient game for Fenti, 19/24 for 233yds and 2 TDs...

Nothing spectacular but he made some good reads on the zone option and made some nice plays with his feet...

Great defensive effort, if not for the QB breaking a big run on a 3rd down they would have had negative rushing yards...

Still pissed about that "targeting" call BS...
