Spoke to Grange after the game and he said they'd take a look.  Glad they called it the right way in the end.

I always knew some of the stat keepers behaved in shady ways... 

That's a little excessive, no? Give me a break. When you're the stat-keeper for a triple-option team and your quarterback drops back to pass maybe 8% of the time, most times the QB is brought down for a loss it's a tackle for loss, not a sack.

Hobart's story reflects this with much more class than you do with your characterization of the stat keeper as shady.

Pat, I think his comment was a little tongue-in-cheek. Seems like the typical humor in these parts.

Pat is the master of these boards and supreme arbiter of class, respect, intellect and everything else (including being tone deaf).  I gave up long ago trying to communicate with him in this medium (or any).  You just have to understand that's he's the expert on everything everywhere.

Yes, it was intended as tongue in cheek, but you know Pats never ever had any communication issues with anyone in his life, so it's easy for him to lord over all of us.  (This is a less fun form of sarcasm so I'm clear)

At long last the USMMA is back in business.  Their game with Springfield is still off for this weekend and it doesn't appear that the Pride has any takers for this Saturday.  My guess is they play this one on 11/23.

Otherwise Frank is tracking the status of the WPI v. merchant marine game scheduled for 10/26.  Given the school reopens on 10/21, there's a question as whether the Engineers would allow the game to be played on Sunday, 10/27 to help get the necessary practices in. 

More soon.

Great to see Merchant Marine back in business. Hopefully they are allowed to make up some of those games.

Good to know. The post was reported to me by someone who found the tongue-in-cheekiness less than obvious themselves, though, so perhaps an emoticon would be worth considering in the future.

Toop texted Frank and it sounds like WPI game for 10/26 is on.  Per our conversations with RPI and SC it sounds like likely make up dates for those games are 11/2 and 11/23, respectively.  I doubt the UofR game will be made up which could make things interesting unless HOB or SLU run the table.

Big day for the Dutchmen! Win this one and back at 500 baby! Dlip is wishing he was there with all his heart but will watch from home! Go and get it Union. Dlip believes!

[dlippiel]

Dlip will say this with a fair amount of certainty, d3 football is absolutely mind boggling! Actually Dlip will go old school on this:

d3 football is ****ing mind boggling!

Kinda crazy interview with UofR, LL commish Tracy King, including a surprise appearance by "RT" and and an honest rundown of the shutdown by USMMA HC Mike Toop.

Highlights, picks and d3midwest discussion on why the East is so far behind in 2013.

I hate bye weeks. I feel empty. No Hobart results to discuss.

What in the world has happened to Union? Granted, they've lost a number of close games, so maybe it's just randomness, but they're now 1-12 OOC over the past four years.
