With that said, the U D does need to do a better job of stopping the run with the front 7 this weekend if they want to beat the Bombers......It even says that in the Capsules!

How can any fan of Ithaca say that they will be able to run all over the Union defense? with the exception of one blown game, rochester, Union has a very capable and potent rush defense. Hobart had the #7 rusher in the country, and they held him to 46 yards on 24 carries. RPI had bernardo, who was also ranked, and we still held him to under one hundred. and there is no way that Ithaca will hold Arcidiacano to less than 100 yards..

YOU ALL MUST BE CRAZY!

I don't count games against other LL teams because your league is a sham, Hobart barely beat St. Lawrence who is terrible and Union had to go to OT with King's Point...wow. I know you guys have to gear up to play powerhouses like Rochester and Coast Guard every week so maybe you guys were looking past those teams.

Yep, those perennial powerhouses Utica, Norwich and Hartwick really outclass our 2005 bottom-dwellers. The fact that the LL went 3-2 against the E8 this season obviously shows the LL's weakness.

DAWG LOVES FRANK ROSSI'S INTENSITY THIS WEEK!!!! GET HIM A JERSEY!!!

RT wouldn't know what to do if he saw Frank Rossi in a football jersey. For that matter, Frank Rossi doesn't know what he'd do if he saw Frank Rossi in a football jersey.

Oh;let's not forget the one common opponent....Springfield scored 28 against IC while scoring 7 against UC

Reno Hightower · November 17, 2005, 02:32:49 PM

Again, common opponents lead to nothing.....If they did, Union would have beaten Hobart by 100 if you looked at their respective St Lawrence games....

RT,
Order served.

Careful with such use of a fact, dea...GoBombers15 might start to cry.

Ithaca goes with 2 backs though. So I guess you can double their numbers and now it is more even.

the cheerleaders are busy doing toe touches. I think they do cheers too, but no one can hear them anyway.

JT · November 17, 2005, 02:51:25 PM

bigdvd,

Professionally JT is not picking against Union or Hobart in the ATR, he thinks there is possibility one of them can make it to the regional final. Hence the balanced bracket comment. Maybe JT will get a look at Union in week 2.

Personally JT is a little down that RPI is not the NCAA playoffs. They are his favorite DIII team after his alma mater. Ex-RPI players have made JT laugh for a few years now.

Visiting locker rooms at Frank Bailey field will be well stocked with popcorn. Make sure the QB and WR's get plenty.

(you must watch the new 'the longest yard' to get the popcorn reference)

Won't that make for an explosive offense?

dea · November 17, 2005, 03:13:18 PM

Reno...I dragged that stat out about common opponents only in response to fbking's inane trashing of the LL and its teams...

dea · November 17, 2005, 03:14:56 PM

Hey, I'm gaining karma....what's up with that?
