tags, i'll go out on a limb and say you'll be back. since we need to back every statement up with facts, here it is: for a few nights, you've said you're punching out when in fact, you are still lurking...and you come back and post!  so saying you're going to leave now makes me think you'll be back. besides, what else do you have to do at night? 

only a few more hours till we make picks...

[The Truth 00]

bottom line:

- frank did indeed bring up some good points

- fisher fans defended robinson

- i will be intoxicated in nyc this weekend at a bachelor party

- who really cares what robinson said. we're turning robinson into TO and thats not fair. the kid spoke his mind, complimented arciadano, and said he's going to have a stellar game.

- fisher doesn't run a true spread offense (although they incorporate spread formations and spread plays)


the tribe has spoken. lets put it to rest and talk about this weekend's games and some nyc hot spots.

OK Guys,

I hear what you are saying. This guy "Frank" has gotten himself into somekind of quasi-sports-quasi-political situation for lack of a better word, and he is using his "clout" and "position" in an innappropriate manor to influence the D3 discussions.  As I understand it , he is some sort of journalist and/or broadcaster so there might be a question as to whether he should be posting ?  I don't know all the rules but his boasting is greater than his posting.

Frank is the long time broadcaster for Union Football (I can't remember if he broadcast other sports). He was doing this while a student at Union and still does it today. He is passionate about his school and the sport. He does not broadcast full time, but his day job has esquire after it. An Alum, fan, and broadcaster can make for a dangerous combination, lest anyone forget the TV broadcast of Miami and Florida International, and one lost job due to being a little too close.
I repect Frank for his knowledge and opinion of Union Football and his relationships to the school give him some access that others on this board do not have. I would not state that Frank is a journalist. He is involved in the broadcasts, which brings a different perpective to the story. Unfortunately, since this is not a board for journlists, but fans, you should take Frank's posts as just that, no more than the objectivity of Jim Rome.  If he was doing this on air during a football broadcast, then that would be another story.

Not sure it is "exclusive."  I think this website will probably cover it.

picks for the weekend...

NCAA
Wilkes over W&L 30-10
Springfield over Curry 42 - 21
Fisher over Union 31-21 (its gonna be a tight one, with fisher scoring late to put it away)
Rowan over Hobart 24-21...i think rowan is overrated

ECAC
who gives a crap...but to honor those die-hard saxon fans, i'll say Alfred over UR 27-21, RPI over Cortland 21-20, and Coast Guard over Bridgewater 31-24.

as I was saying all last night the robinso quotes were not bad... If I were the opposing team I might post them on the board... but really this is about football...and if the coaches needs semi bad quotes than he needs to learn motivation tactics

[fisheralum91]

cortland losing to rpi?

really?

are they really that apathetic about the game?
