Anyone got any good costumes tonight?  WTFF and I are Kurt and Courtney.  I already have tracks down my arms....

LD11 is sporting a mean case of bronchitis though.  Totally sucks.

Think the bronchitis is relayted to the pictures you posted yesterday? Hope you feel better.

Not related whatsoever.  All I did was post a pic of a Union bus and of Johnny Utah.  Nothing bad about that.  The torch was passed to me by my significant other.  I avoided it for 2 weeks.  I heard extreme amounts of booze is a cure.

JU makes a nasty Irish Coffee.  I'd try two of those before you go out tonight LD. 

There is also the 'Hot Toddy' which sometimes adds some flavor with a little cinnamon or spice, and more citrus with less coffee (if you want) and more hot water or lemon.  Either way, make it hot, and make it strong.  After the first 3 sips you will be in heaven and your sinuses will fell like roses.

alright u freaks, goons, ghosts etc....its friday and prediction time for the shoes game. lay your predictions and why on the LLPP for everyone out there to view for everyone to see and we will find out who can predict football

RPI 24
Union 18

That's what gro predicted on in the HuddLLe.  In football math 18 is an "odd" number, but gro just threw it out there. Bottom line, Gro sees this as a repeat of the 2006 game. It will be close, exciting, and a win for RPI.

[Senor RedTackle]

.....and RPI wins a workman like game 24-13 over Union and carry the shoes off the battlefield.

Staying w/ the Vince (ie, Vaughn) theme today...

....as in a "Vince" like game?

[lewdogg11]

NastroDoggMas has a slightly different prediction....

I think it will be a dogfight in the first half.  VERY close game.  Then in the latter half of the 3rd Q and through the 4th, RPI will throw down on Ducci's. 

RPI - 42
Union - 17

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.")

Hey, I understand you don't believe me and I'm sorry that people from the 2004 McDaniel team aren't on the board anymore to tell you about how part of the senior class defected when a decision was made over their objection to play in the ECACs that year, or how the 2000 Ursinus team rolled over in an ECAC game after the team went to the second round of the playoffs the year before, etc.

But just because you don't believe it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Both instances you refer to are from the less-publicized and less-discussed southern region games of the ECAC.  I think there's a much different approach and more history for the northern games.

Drop me off one of those Saturday morning in Troy?!

[Apple Jack]

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...

Seeming that you are rather vertically challenged I am surprised that they didn't ask if your parents were home....

UNION sucks balls

It's a rare case when I do this to an RPI rep on this board during Shooz Week...

Who is this, really?  Art Bell?  George Noory?  Just because Dan Rather's documents were fakes doesn't mean the story they told him was false, right?

Even if I wanted to believe YOU, even you have to admit that this board hasn't heard anything close to credible, firsthand reports.  To be credible, there'd have to be some evidence from before the game is played, don't you think?  Otherwise, it's exactly as somebody else pointed out, it's just excuse making.

Even if this board did receive credible, firsthand reports of two southern ECAC teams tanking it in ECAC championship games, would it make sense to tar every ECAC playoff team with that same brush?   d3football.com sings the praises of teams who play to win, even when the odds of winning are remote, and never even hints that losing teams ever just shrug and give up on a game or a season.  Why isn't that same perspective applied to ECAC championship game teams?

Once-powerful Western McMaryland seems to be in a state of decline these days.

RPI 31
Union 21

Key Factors:

RPI DL has not allowed a back to run wild yet this year.  Expect Coney to get some yards but they need to keep him closer to 80 than 160.
If RPI Short Passing game which serves as their running game clicks.  WR have been very good at blocking downfield and...
RPI WR Speed.  Fil and McCarthy are quick
Robertson.  If he is on, scrambles intelligently and doesn't throw it into traffic it's over.
If young O line plays well (4 Sophs and a Jr)
Savasli vs short U secondary (2- 5'8"s vs 6'3")
Grass field
Hopefully no stong wind

I think if a team DID tank an ECAC game, or any game for that matter, it shows a lot about the character of that team, and it also shows, pretty mightily, why that team probably wasn't chosen, or qualified for an NCAA tournament appearance.  

Not to mention, the 2004 McDaniel team was 6-4, and what has that program EVER done that is of any significance anyway?  Atleast since becoming 'McDaniel'...

Also, in 1999, Urisinus beat Bridgewater State in the playoffs, then got beaten by Rowan 55-0.  We played Rowan in the first round and actually gave them a game.  Let's not make that Ursinus team out to be a world beater.  Had 1999 RPI played either Ursinus or Bridgewater, we would have rolled to the 2nd round too.
