I do not intend to be disrespectful with my response, but
Please believe me when I say "you have no clue" what Bport is ]__in for this weekend.  Bport has never seen speed like they will see this weekend.  Germination will need an entire half to adjust to the speed as the first few series will be three and out.  The game is entirely different when you bring in a UMU, Oshkosh, UMHB, and UST.  The level of play is an entire step up. 

If Bport scores 10 points they should all receive trophy's.  I have seen quotes from Wesleydad trying to place Wesley on par with Bport.  The same Wesley team that needed OT to beat Frostburg who had literally no chance against Mount this past weekend.  Mount could have put 100 points on the board if they chose to. Other than the first offensive series in the fourth Mount played their second and third team players.

Congrats to Bport for being the best in the East and I mean that. Not that anyone cares, but I do.  You will fully understand what I mean come Saturday afternoon.

No worries.  I'm just publically stating that I predict it won't go as expected on both fronts.  That Brockport will put up a decent amount of points but that UMHB's offense will greatly excel, much more than some may predict. 

I don't think many D3 teams scored more against UMHB than Fisher did in 2013 either.  One other one I believe.  Of course that same team put up 25 on a John Carroll team that was averaging 7.5 ppg against in the regular season and an astonishing 3.6 ppg against in the 9 games before Mount Union in the regular season finale.  You could argue that maybe Fisher's offense was clicking at just the right time.  I feel like Brockport's offense this year is better than Fisher's in 2013 though.  Partly why I feel the way I do I suppose. 

The fun thing is we shall find out in a few short days.  I'm excited to find out!

If Ohsaa13 is one of us he has a funny way of showing it as he has never posted on the ASC boards, heck he has never posted in the South Region.

As for me, I am way too much of a paranoid superstition fan to be too boastful before or after a game, however I will say that there is no comparison in the 2013 UMHB defense and this year. The numbers from 2013 are in the ballpark but the last 2 years have just been a clear step above anything we have ever put on the field.

With that said, I can't say Brockport won't score points but I would think it would be more likely that you guys just score more due to our inconsistent offense that is stoppable (see last week)

[fisheralum91]

There is the level headedness that I have come to expect.
Look- you guys are the cream of the crop.
Every program in the nation knows that.
Brockport will give it a shot and lets see what transpires when the dust settles.
As an E8 fan as a whole - I back Brockport and am proud that they are representing the E8
Win or lose

No as for Ohsaa...............

And that is the great thing about our playoff system, we do get to see it all played out on the field. Clearly Brockport and Coach Mangone are building something and whether it is this year or in the future they have proven themselves worthy of this moment.

I could be wrong but over here, Ohsaa stands for Ohio High School Athletic Association. This is the regulatory body for high school sports in Ohio. Just a guess, for whatever that's worth. '

Agreed.  I listened to his interview after their quarterfinal game.  He impressed me.  They clearly know it's a challenge ahead and I don't expect them to cave under the pressure.  I'll sadly be in Atlanta for a business trip this weekend, but planning to catch the stream on ESPN3.  Looking forward to it!

Well,
Whoever this ohsaa person is- the overall tenor and tone isnt in in line with the rest of the Cru faithful.
Hell it isnt in line with most.
He or she is entitled to their opinion, but there is an arrogance there that seems sophomoric.

For what little he's posted it's almost all OAC stuff. Another PurpleSuit pseudonym perhaps? Or at least a protege.

[fisheralum91]

A UMU person.

Hmmm
Id expect more

Did you interact with PurpleSuit? Or perhaps his current incarnation? Every fan base seems to have a few. Just a question of whether they find their way here or not...

how dare you!  I would never say the things that Mr Davis....I mean OHSAA13 has posted.  I am offended.

Probably true. You would never open with "I do not intend to be disrespectful with my response, but"... I don't think it would cross your mind to do anything but go forward from after the BUT...
