That'd be too easy. :-)

I will note that a certain Jersey-ite who runs RowanFootball.com and writes the Around the Region East column on D3football.com didn't think the Union/RPI winner deserved a home game prior to the Ithaca and SJF losses in the final week.  Here were his predictions heading into the final week:

1. Delaware Valley (clinched Pool A – MAC champion)
2. Ithaca (clinched Pool A – E8 champion)
3. Wesley (should be awarded Pool B – ACFC champion)
4. St. John Fisher (probable Pool C)
5. RPI/Union winner (Pool A – Liberty League champion)
6. Rowan/Cortland (Pool A – NJAC champion)
7. Union/Hobart (possible Pool C)
8. Curry/Fitchburg State winner (possible Pool C)

He got #1 and #8 right.  :-)

NNR is back after a long weekend with his old college roomies. We spent the weekend drinking ourselves into the shakes and listening to the webcast of the Union game... FRANK ROSSI you were going crazy and NNR loved it. IthAca has my respect. Great program but Union had everything (but D) clicking... Those of you who love FRYING... NNR is frying a turkey this week for Thanksgiving, anyone know if there are any secrets?

[zachattack22]

NNR, Zach recalls RT speaking of these things you refer to as Turkey Frying!  At least that is ZA's recollection...

Sounds like NNR had a great time this weekend...ZA made as much noise as possible at the game and devoured many bowls of Chili which is still in his system to the regret of his family!!!

It's just great to still be playing...For the seniors especially, this HAS to be a high knowing what could be your last season of football is NOT over!!!

ZA is very happy for them and proud of the LL!

[zachattack22]

In the past (for whatever that is worth) ZA's observations of Rowan are as follows: When Union played them, Rowan got out to a very quick start and got up on Union by a couple of scores....Union stayed with them in the 2nd half and was on their way to what looked like a comeback in the 3rd 1/4, then made a couple of mistakes that slid the mometum of the game back to Rowan.

When RPI played them, Rowan did the same thing to RPI, but RPI hung in there with them and would not go away in the 2nd half, losing, but in the game until the end of the 4th 1/4 with the potential to make it much closer. 

In other words, it was like fighting Tyson....Those that crumbled in front of him out of fear of getting hit, GOT HIT, right in the mouth and down they went.  Those that dished out some straight right hands as he was charging in, did much better and some actually won, because they fought with NO fear.

ZA may be all wet with this analogy, however, ZA feels that this is the way Union has to play...With no fear of getting blown out, no fear of anything....Take their best shots and throw everything at them, not being worried about keeping it close, etc....JUST PLAY and force THEM into a shootout.  ZA doesn't believe Union should just grind it out and try to keep Rowan's offense off the field....ZA thinks the wide open offense that got the U this far should continue this aggressive offensive strategy.... This is totally contrary to ZA's philosophy of keeping other potent offenses off the field by shrinking the field to 10 yards and getting first down after first down to hold time of possession away from the opponent....It's a game of mistakes....Can't make many against Rowan!!! But this year, ZA believes Rowan cannot make many against Union either!

NNR lost 3 karma points this morning with a post about frying turkey... hmmm NNR is not mad just doesnt understand some people.

NNR wishes hobart great luck this week... A LL rematch in 3rd round would be amazing... hope everyone had a great weekend

...FLASH.....RT NOW UNDERGOING INTESTINAL DETOXIFICATION.....[/b][/size][/color]

RT has decided to take control of his life (and his gut) and undergo drastic measures to get back to the mountaintop. Actually, RT's fiance has been a loving critic of the declining state of RT's abdominal section and RT has been shamed into getting the eye of the tiger back. Beginnning today, RT is going through a 7 day detox which RT is envisioning will turn him into a nerve-wracked pile of poo......today is day 1 - only water. RT glad he wolfed down the last of the squash caserole (extra cheese/butter) at 1am.

Fortunately, in addition to providing the football fix RT requires, the LL board will become a support mechanism for RT as he vies to get back to said fighting weight.

NNR...please put together the Vegas odds/over unders on RT's physical comeback that will include diet and physical activity.  Please use 262 as RT's starting weight...

OH SNAP!!! Is RT going insane?  WHy would you start a 7 day ANYTHING a couple days before thanksgiving.  Regulator doesnt think there is a better holiday to celebrate 5 consecutive days of drinking beer and eating old poultry smothered in mayo.

Listen, RT understands the insanity of this endeavor, given the timing...RT has no choice. The alternative is listening to said fiance lay the verbal smackdown on RT all week if RT were to maintain current course and speed of laying around couch (in boxers) with cheeze-It's in hand and hot sauce stains on his t-shirt.  Furthermore, RT is tired of paying for membership to the Y that hasn't shed one lb. off of RT..

RT assumes his Karma hit this am is due to his insane Thanksgiving-week diet suggestion....

['gro]

RT - Reg is correct, let turkey day be your going away party. The 10 pounds you gain this week can be easily lost... boosting your confidence as you go into 2k6.

Gro suggests you fry everything in sight. Stuff a turkey w/ pizza rolls then wrap it in bacon. in fact, wrap bacon around everything you eat for the next 7 days.

Can RT wrap himself and his fiance in bacon every night before bed??

[zachattack22]

NNR, ZA doesn't know how to give or get Karma as he still feels like a "rookie" compared to most on this board....

ZA's football playing weight was 210 as a running back....ZA weighs in at 265 right now and has tried just about everything....

BUT, ZA cannot start until AFTER Turkey Day!!!  Even Aktkins didn't work because ZA would eat three steaks instead of one....

ZA can still wrestle his kids to the ground because they are intimidated, but IF they ever knew a straight punch to the stomach would do the trick, ZA would be in deep doo doo!!!

Of course, not only is bacon theraputic for the skin... but it can also be used as a aphrodisiac.  Haven't you seen Hot Shots part deaux?
