A couple guys voting to not play in an ECAC game is not underperforming in a game (mailing it in).

The whole Union tailback story and Utah's comments came to light to show how the ECAC game is sometimes viewed.  The spinmasters on here turned that into a 'mailing it in' scenario. 

I'm so confused about the whole subject though.  Technically speaking, wouldn't a 'snubbed' 9-1 Cortland team from 2006 want to say F You to the committe and blow out a lowly RPI team to show them they made the wrong choice and that they got screwed?  Something tells me they didn't lay down or 'Mail/Phone it in', but more that the committee got it right...

I am understanding U89's comments 100%.  Just because someone might not want to play an ECAC game at one point, when you prepare for that 'last game', you don't go out there hoping to get your ass handed to you do you? No!  You play to win.

So if the Union players and coaches want to play in the ECAC game this year, and assuming they have the possibility to be potentially afforded that opportunity by the Committee, then U89, based on LD's analysis quoted above, would we agree that Union should play in the ECAC game?

Here we go with you spinning things again....of course they should play in that scenario.  I never said they shouldn't.  

Where have I advocated that Union now be allowed to play an ECAC game??

Just getting you on the record.  I'll follow up on this after the RPI game.  Thanks.

See I thought Union would win and get the AQ with a few Hobart losses.

Guess Frank doesn't think Union can pull it off.

JU enjoys putting words in peoples mouths....

Just another routine night here in Miami.  FR was trying to CHKDSK his corrupt hard drive when a knock came at his door.  It was a very pretty local NBC news lady asking, "Hi.  Do you know your neighbors downstairs at all?  It looks vacant in there -- there was a search warrant served to them last week -- did you notice when the cops came?"

Needless to say since he's new in Miami, FR doesn't know them and didn't even know all that transpired during his two all-nighters last week.  Good to know the safety level is so high.

Now for the "only in Miami" moment.  FR gets a second knock at my door.  This time, it's an every prettier woman holding a microphone -- she starts speaking Spanish.  It's the local Telemundo news reporter who asks with FR's dumbfounded look, "Do you speak Spanish?"  FR replies to the negative -- and she says goodbye.

Oh, maybe FR should learn Spanish really quick if his neighbors are so shady and pretty newswomen need his expertise on the air...

LD:

I got word that the Merrimack Valley conference is going to split into two divisions (large and small).  It seems to be the trend now around football conferences.

Im assuming the large division (Lowell, Chelmsford, ?, ?) would stay in 1A and the small divsion would go to 2 with like the Bay State Hegret (Natick, Walpole, Norwood).

From what I remember, the MVC was broken into large/small since I played there, but it was only significant in certain sports.  Football wasn't one of them.  I don't know how valid that would be because a team like Dracut would certainly be a 'small' school, but they are one of the best in MA this year.  Their QB is a monster, like 6'4" 230.  More like a D1 tight end than a QB though.  Ran for 6 tds last week and threw for another.  Kid just wants to run people over.  I don't get why they would split up like that for football since the winner always represents well in the Super Bowl.

I'd have said it exactly as you did, but I still don't understand the "give it a rest" complaint from U89.

U89 and JU have both agreed, they never "phoned anything in."  U89 knows for certain that he never "mailed in it," since he was on good teams, so he knows what it means to "mail it in."  And he never did it, even though he knows what it means.

U89's tailback teammate story aside (since it is not evidence of anyone phoning anything in), the only ones who have claimed that teams "mail it in" or "phone it in" to the ECAC championship games are the d3football.com poohbahs--one of whom just last night authored a very heartfelt paean to those who play football to win, even for losing programs.

(In other words, it's kind of confusing when a guy says in one breath "teams phone it in" and in the next breath he says "the goal is always to win.")

Hell, teams "mail it in" all the time when they get outplayed by the other team.

I agree.  I think THAT is the only credible evidence, and since it's evidence ex post facto, it's not only a lame excuse, it's unconstitutional!  It's not actual evidence that any team has ever "mailed it in" to an ECAC championship game.

But I doubt that'll ever sway the opinion of those who do think that teams mail it in.
