HOLY CRAP!

CMU went for a 2-point conversion and it was incomplete.

Hobart 27-26 with 1:32 on the clock.

The Rev is still wicked nervous.

Hobart wins.  Interception with 2 seconds to go.

That was a close one: 27-26.

that's good news for the LL.

Union, wtf?

RPI beats Utica 24-0 in a monkey stompout, but it was 14-0 in the 1st qtr.

What's up w/ East region??

Cortland loses
Springfield loses

Ithaca and Hartwick in a battle right now.....

[mattvsmith]

Hartwick beat IC.

The Rev thinks that 2007 is proving to be an interesting season already.

Next week, Hobart versus RPI will be a good game.  Both teams coming away from veyr different victories.  Hobart has the confidence and momentum having beaten a team that they "should" have lost to.  RPI has confidence and momentum that comes from monkeystompingout a high school team.

Hobart con: The Tartans may have sapped a lot of physical strength from the Statesmen.  Hopefully they will recover to full strength this week.
RPI con: Utica was too easy, so their confidence may be misplaced.

The Rev will be in Geneva next weekend.  Look for him at the SAA food tent.

When The Rev tells people that he is going home to watch The Frozen Cat Turd Bowl, no one in AZ understands.

Philistines!

JT's glancing at the loser bowl Michigan vs. Notre Dame. Weis needs to wear a bra.  JT's changing the channel. Ewww.

Oh and there is no way that any versions of Rowan brown and gold uni's are more disgusting than Syracuse's.  JT hasn't seen that much burnt Orange since he had too many screwdrivers and had to say the big hello to Mr. Twalet.

Hey Rev.,

Look forward to seeing you at Boswell field next week vs. RPI.  Carnegie Mellon ran the old Wishbone offense and looked really good. 

However,  Carnegie Mellon was not able to match the Statesman's pass offense.

Next week will be a high scoring game.

Just a reminder of my first post of the season:

Two losses in the league will win the Liberty League this year.

Take it to the bank.

unfortunatly frank, I have a sinking feeling that the team will not be union...and Unions biggest moment will be playing spoiler to RPI at the shooz

First things first...Hobart will begin the tumultuous league season by beating RPI - Hobart played some quality opponents and has a resume.  RPI has played some blips on the radar and will fall behind early.  Hobart will win 33-30 in Geneva.

and as an additional note...Union lost to Springfield 31-13 and Muhlenberg 23-18 in 2004 before falling an OT short of the LL title.  This is not to say Union doesn't need to get their act together in a MAJOR way this week...but it isn't impossible.  Could a 5-4 Union team win the LL?  It's possible, although the tiebreaker scenarios are not favorable.  Union most likely could win the league with only one league loss (6-3 overall) or none (7-2 overall).  But in the immortal words of Jim Mora:

"PLAYOFFS?!"

Union fans should be a little concerned with the 100-minute scoreless streak their team has put together (I am).  No finger-pointing...it's an entire-team issue on both sides of the ball right now.  Muhlenberg is good, but Union made them look like the next national champs today.  With all due respect to the Mules, Union's poor play mixed with Muhlenberg's good play for an ugly outcome for NY football fans.  If any coach can turn it around, though, it's John Audino.  We'll see what happens at Rocho next Saturday.

[superman57]

can I through out this comparison... Union= Notre Dame... Prestigous Universities starting off really bad...

Not able to score an offensive touch down for long periods of time

Young unexperianced quaterbacks

both schools graduated players considered all time greats...can we continue
