I respect your opinion.  I will remind you that GC gave up over 600 yards to SU and respectfully the game against BC was a lot closer than you make it sound. I don't agree with regaleagle that BC won everywhere but the scoreboard. GC played better on special teams and had fewer turnovers. But it was like he said a very close game right until the end.

Red zone turnovers killed them and bad penalties.

Did you and Regaleagle watch the same game this past Saturday ?
Glad you are back and ok. Sounds like your Quakers are still hanging.
Hopefully HSC will be 4-1 coming into Greensboro, meaning that game
will be important to both teams. We must get by SU and BC for that to happen
which will not be easy, but certainly doable. W&L is in the drivers seat with wins
against GC an HSC. Minus a significant collapse the last 4 weeks, I see nobody
catching W&L. odac is crazy, not sure it is that crazy. as of today W&L is a huge favorite

tfa2 ... it would appear not. I promise, I was on the fifty the other side of the field.  My brother, who has a PhD and studied Divinity at Duke and Oxford in England, taught me a word that also applies here:  hermeneutics, people see or read the same thing and get completely different interpretations.  Quakers are prepping hard for every game, but realize they need help to be the ODAC champ ... c'est la vie.  In the last four games, GC has three at home (RMC, HSC and E&H) and CUA on the road.  Five and one after two home games and four road games is still good.  I agree, I hope a lot will be on the line when HSC visits on November 7.  I'm okay, just awfully busy with many things ... thanks for your concern and kind words.

Look Herman Neutic.   Saw it live saw it on film. The eye in the sky does not lie! It was a BS call. Besides that the guy who threw it was way out of position to see anything.

Well, gee, why didn't you say you saw it live AND on film?  I guess I have no choice but to concede!  Wait, so did I!  Purely puerile, eaglet.  Good luck this weekend.


Finally you acquiesce to the truth but calling me childish is just in bad taste especially with a P word. Don't be pithy, best of luck to you also.

I didn't acquiesce to the truth ... it was a legitimate call.  My apology for the use of the word puerile, but we did see the same event with two different opinions, so I stand by hermeneutics.

Wasper68 and any other Wasp posters, looks like I've got the all clear to miss Trick or Treating with the kids to come see the game next week. If the weather looks good I'll be making the drive up for what looks like a crunch contest for both teams. Been a long time since I visited Selfie. Hoping this goes better than the other two times I was there...

If I do make it I hope we can share some stories and some tailgating. My fraternity big brother is putting me up as he lives in Abbingdon and I don't want to do the 12 hours or so round trip in one day.

You were saying? H-SC gave up 531. Shenandoah's offense can put up huge numbers. Turnovers kill them though...

I stand by that quote. I don't see one team in the ODAC being a clear cut above the rest as you stated. Is GC the best team in the ODAC?  I don't know. I do know that unless WL loses 2 it's a mute point.

It would be moot, but in this room I doubt it would be mute!

Mr. Yipsi, you are correct. Please excuse my grammar.  I was writing after a day that started early and ended late. We started the tailgate at 8:00 AM and got back to our beds around mid-night. it was a fun day but it was tiring.

I want to offer a shout out to the HSC soccer team for defeating RMC 2-1 yesterday.  What made it particularly nice was the RMC coach had been HSC's coach for the past 11 seasons. Leave HSC for RMC? As Teyve said in Fiddler on the Roof - unheard of, absurd TRADITION!

Yeah. And neither team is very good. ODAC soccer is the home of the non-football schools and W&L

It was the first article I have ever read about soccer. It was not a comment on who is good or bad. Just some props to the Tigers over RMC. Anytime that happens HSC fans feel good about that!

Is that why HSC is not an ODAC power in soccer?  Let them have him.

If W&L were to lose to Emory & Henry it wouldn't be.

Laux is an R-MC alum, and happens to be the all-time winningest coach in H-SC history...

Am I missing something? I'm not saying I'm right but here's the way I see it.

HSC can go 6-1 in ODAC but that is not enough without 2 losses from WL. HSC can be in a 3 way tie with EH and WL but cannot win the point differential tiebreaker.
GC can go 6-1 in ODAC but same as HSC they still need 2 WL losses. There's no scenario for GC to be in a 1 loss 3 way tie.
EH can go 6-1 in ODAC but then they either need HSC to lose again or have beaten WL by 6 or more if the regular season ends in a 3 way tie with WL and HSC.

Still not willing to look for these answers.
