I really hope the TOP discussion/trolling continues in perpetuity. It is easily some of the best content on this board.

Which really says a lot more about the rest of the content on this board,,,,, folks!!!!

Whoa.  You can make fun of Jonny Utah, my family, The Liberty League, or even the Rochester Yellow Jackets football team.  But once you start taking shots at TOP......not cool.

And the LL is by far the most entertaining board on here.  I mean the MIAC is a distant 2nd.  That place is like watching a Newhart show in 2019 and still laughing at it.

Don't you see the contradiction in taking shots at the MIAC board while defending TOP at the same time?

The MIAC board owns the TOP battle on d3boards.com

Dammit.

Sad to say you are correct.  D3board TOP numbers: (Post replies/Posters x 3.14)

MIAC: 19.66
LL: 10.73

The LL is a smaller league but we won't use that as an excuse.  We must get better.  I'll take ownership of this.

We can even weight it based on number of teams, but we're still ahead.

Might get closer if we weight it based on length of playoff run in the last several years, as playing deep into the playoffs tends to generate more posts. That might even things up a bit :-)

............TIME OF POSSESSION STATS............................................
ITHACA 44:26
CORTLAND 15:34

.............TASTE IT!!!!!!!!.....................................

Ok I have to get serious here for a second. 

I can't find any TOP stat history for any division really, but did see this"

https://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/09/12/air-force-set-an-fbs-record-for-time-of-possession-on-saturday/

If Air Force breaks the FBS TOP record in 2016 with a 45:14, Ithaca might be close with 44:26 with their game against Cortland this year.

I could only find one record regarding TOP online, and it is from a 2006 SEC game where Auburn recovered an onsides kick and had two possessions in one quarter.

Most Possession Time In a Quarter
15:00—Auburn vs. South Carolina, Sept. 28, 2006 (3rd quarter, 30 plays
for 136 yards)

Why d3football.com doesn't keep stats like this is pretty insulting if you ask me.  Almost like moving the Stagg to Texas.  Real kick in the balls this is.

When one looks at interrelated statistics...it becomes very clear....Ithaca had to keep the ball and score on very slow possessions so Cortland's awesome kick blocking unit was neutralized....in all seriousness, I was calling for Hobart to quick kick on 3rd and long to avoid this threatening unit, actually giving up TOP in order to avoid the blocked kick likelyhood.....but I was totally wrong since TOP rules all. Thank you for making it all so clear. 

Ice Bear says this is exactly what any good coaching staff would plan for first and foremost when facing the Red ****ing Dragons!

I'm here to help. Much more enjoyable here, coasting into the offseason, than putting up with the disgusting Johnnies schtick on the MIAC board for now.

Ole and Sven in Hell

Ole and Sven die in a snowmobiling accident, drunker than skunks, And go to Hell. The Devil observes that they are really enjoying themselves. He says to them 'Doesnt the heat and smoke bother you?' Ole replies, 'Vell, ya know, ve're from nordern Minnesooota, da land of snow an ice, an ve're yust happy fer a chance ta varm up a little bit, ya know.'

The devil decides that these two aren't miserable enough andturns up the heat even more. When he returns to the room of the two from Minnesota , the devil finds them in light jackets and hats, grilling Walleye and drinking beer. The devil is astonished and exclaims, 'Everyone down here is in misery, and you two seem to be enjoying yourselves?' Sven replies, 'Vell, ya know, ve don't git too much varm veather up dere at da Falls, so ve've yust got ta haff a fish fry vhen da veather's dis nice.'

The devil is absolutely furious. He can hardly see straight. Finally he comes up with the answer. The two guys love the heat because they have been cold all their lives. The devil decides to turn all the heat off in Hell. The next morning, the temperature is 60 below zero, icicles are hanging everywhere, and people are shivering so bad that they are unable to wail, moan or gnash their teeth. The devil smiles and heads for the room with Ole and Sven. He gets there and finds them back in their parkas, bomber hats, and mittens. They are jumping up and down, cheering, yelling and screaming like mad men.

The devil is dumbfounded, 'I don't understand, when I turn up the heat you're happy. Now its freezing cold and you're still happy. What is wrong with you two?'

They both look at the devil in surprise and say, 'Vell, don't ya know, if hell iss froze over, dat must mean da Vikings von da Super Bowl.'

Bartman...THAT was funny. A big +k...As far as the TOP discussion. I haven't gotten involved...didn't take the poll...haven't made a comment... When I think of TOP, I think of seeing the judge. Wouldn't grant the permanent though, only a temporary. Damn crazy ex.

It's ok UfanBill.  You should be proud of your Union Dutchmen as they finished 1st in the LL in TOP and 63rd in the country overall.  Apologies for not posting this sooner but final TOP stats for the Liberty League (national ranking in parenthesis):

1. Union (63)
2. Buff State (97)
3. St. Lawrence (108)
4. Ithaca (111)
5. Hobart (169)
6. Rochester (180)
7. RPI (191)

No real surprises there. I'm pretty sure anyone coulda figured that out without reviewing the stats.

Ice Bear says that while the TOP crown in the LL is a HUGE achievement for the Dutchmen, the performance on the national scale (63rd) is just beyond disappointing. Many ESPN and nationally syndicated writers made it clear that once Springfield bolted from the LL that the conference would be pretty much worthless on a national level...this has proven to be case...unfortunately.

[Bartman]

Be aware that Rochester is on the TOP strategy train...against Union , they scored their most points in a game(19) and had a 38 to 22 advantage in TOP....despite this LL TOP performance of the year  by the Yellowjackets against the Dutchmen, Union was still the overall TOP leader...amazing

Ice Bear will make his picks even though he is not consistent picker...nose picker yes, game/score picker not so much.

Ice Bear says the score is closer than the game will be. A young Aggies team gets a taste of the next level. It will help for years to come...just not this year.

Salisbury 17
Mules 48

IB would love to see the Gulls run all ****ing over the Mules...but he just doesn't see it happening to that stingy Mules D that may prove to be damn close to that elite tier this season. Ice feels the Gulls are just not as close to that tier as the Mules are.

Ice Bear says unfortunately he sees sees the East getting monkey stomped and shut out this weekend.  Ice says it's been a great year in the east but this will be as far as our beloved region goes.
