Im up in my fantasy league 182-139 going into tonights game.  My opponent has Brady, so I was thinking it was in the bag considering im 43 pts up, but after the first drive (94 yds, td) I could be in trouble....

Did you see the preview for next Sunday's game?  Between the best passer in the game (Manning) and the best winner in the game (quite frankly...).

I don't remember exactly what the quote was, but is Brady really one of the top qbs in the league?  I'm reminded of Doug Flutie when I keep hearing that he doesn't do anything spectacular, but he just knows how to win.

I'm losing by 6 with only me having dillion to go...I thought it was possible but after that -8 yard run....

as soon as the pats get a lead, they'll sit on the ball with Maroney and Dillon....

Your still in good shape....


FYI for the IC peeps, Kings/IC game is scheduled the week after the SJF game w/ Kings...so probably looking at september 8th...

Minnesota needs to do something about this 5-WR set...NE does this all the time you'd think they would be more prepared.

Edit: How bout an interception!

If I see 5 wide, I blitz 6 and sit on the hot routes underneath.....

a little late with the post but...wut with it bein halloween weekend and all and nursin a hangover all yesterday....i think i can be excused for the late post.  great win bombers...one of the biggest ive seen in four years here.  Congrats to the defense...i think we showed we are not the same team that gave up 34 second half points to st john fisher....hats off to coach raymond with an outstanding defensive scheme...puttin kiah and scalice at the defensive end spots...worked great.  

as far as the three-way tiebreakers go...honestly if IC wins out (knock on wood), theres no way they can be denied a playoff bid...i cant be bothered to read that LONGGG post explaining all the QOWIQIWOQIWOQIWQ points....so ill take ur word for it that ic might be on the short end of the stick...but if they beat alfred and cort.....they wud be the best team in the east at that point....no argument...so its hard for me to sit back and think if we finish 9-1 we are not gettin a playoff bid...so im not too concerned about gettin screwed that way....

I AM more concerned about my buddies not gettin jug tickets...sold out in 2 hours here at IC...wow...thank god i live with two football players otherwise my buddies from home might roll me down SOuth hill...

out...

Pats pick it off..

Im, sorry but beating springfield on your "field", like you always do, in the slop does not prove you're not the same team....

but if they beat alfred and cort.....they wud be the best team in the east at that point....no argument

Im pretty sure a 10-0 Wilkes team or a 9-0 Hobart team would disagree with that, not to mention the NCAA....

..so its hard for me to sit back and think if we finish 9-1 we are not gettin a playoff bid...so im not too concerned about gettin screwed that way....

Well im sure SJF/SC fans are thinking the same thing, if it does come down to QOWI IC is on the short end, unless the NCAA takes 3.  Which I doubt....

[northcountrybomber]

we would have beaten springfield on grass, turf, mud, lava, and ice....our defense wasnt going to be denied on saturday....dont get me started on Bart....when they struggle with teams like WORCHESTER POLYTECH AND MERCHANT MARINE....please....i can understand the Wilkes argument...but cmon...im an ithaca senior...i really cud care less about being unbiased...and u cant tell me the NCAA's...if ithaca beats SC, AU, CORT...that they are gonna keep them out of the dance....


sorry...if the bombers finish 9-1...they WILL be going to the show....


but lets take care of these last two weeks boys!!!



GO BOMBERS!!!!!

[northcountrybomber]

not to mention they beat 3 regionally ranked teams to end the season....with that kind of MO'....u cannot deny them a spot

[theoriginalupstate]

sorry...if the bombers finish 9-1...they WILL be going to the show....

Just can't handle the reality of it can you?

They can't win the E-8 if its a three way tie....

They'll have a lower QOWI than SC on selection sunday...

SC has just as many quality wins as IC (SC-Union, AU, SJF....IC-SC, AU, Cort)...

MO' doesnt get you into the dance.....

[pg04]

And you are really making your school proud with posts like that!

Anyway, It would have been a much different game if on turf...I can almost guarantee it.  Nevertheless it wasn't and Ithaca won.

As for In-Region games, Fisher has most notably beaten ITHACA... they have a chance to still beat Alfred, they have beaten King's and Rochester as well (Both over .500).  

[northcountrybomber]

OH NO!!! im not makin ithaca proud because i think they should make the playoffs with a 9-1 record!! haha please...and i know it would have been a different game on turf...but even so SC was not winning the game on any surface....regardless thats the past....and i dont see why all 3 (SC,AU, and IC) cant make the dance if they all finish with one loss...

so who should i be rootin for (besides whoever SC and SJF are playin) in the final two weeks so my boys dont get screwed?



jeeez...i hope i didnt disappoint Ithaca College with this post either...
