East Region Playoff Discussion

[theoriginalupstate]

If I'm a MUC fan, I'm pissed Kmic is still in the game.

Why is he still in there getting hit? Ridiculous. If he gets hurt it changes your season.

He cant break the record if he's not playing....

No other reason why he's in there when they're up by 20 with under 10 minutes to play...

20 with 10 minutes is no lock in a blind blizzard. You keep your best hands guy on the field. He still fumbled once in the fourth. Why keep your starters in? Because their playing a semi final game next week and they weren't that sharp in the first half. I know it's frustrating when your kids are done for the year and the other team seems like they are piling it on, but Mount has to keep their focus becasue there is at least one more game to get ready for. 

MUC scored their final TD with 5 minutes to play and Kmic was still in up by 20...

If thats not padding the stats, I dont know what is...

Kmic has yet to play 4 quarters all year.  This is the playoffs.  If you don't like it, stop him.  The Raiders need to make sure they can go the distance next week if needed.  Game 13 keeping your starters in is a little bit different than week 2.

Upstate.....that's totally ridiculous.  

Mount has NEVER ran up the score, stats, etc......EVER.

Just more bitterness.....please.

To dismiss Upstates comments regarding padding stats and the risk of injury to Kmic at that point in the game is what is ridiculous. 

On the Daily Dose, MUC fans were gasping at an unsportsman-like conduct penalty on Cortland against Kmic late in the game......you want to leave him in at that point in the game, that's the risk you take.

If you knew anything about Coach Kehres (and I realize you are from the East and really don't know), you would know that he is so against personal stats meaning anything.  He would NEVER keep Kmic in the game to pad his stats.  If Kmic was in, LK thought the game was still in question.  Do I agree with that........nope.  Coach Kehres always gives the opposing team more credit than they probably deserve.  It's obvious to most that the game was over.

I understand your point....I was addressing you calling Upstates point, 'totally ridiculous'......I thought his point was extremely valid and mirrored my own thoughts.

[union89]

Also, why did Coach Kehres deal with all the bull from Garson?  Because he was the best reciever in the country, that's why.

I respect Mount, but the program is not beyond questioning.

here's an interesting question if we took an all-east region all-star team, do you think they could beat Mount Union...

Far from bitter, just calling it as I see it...

I didnt have a horse in this race...

There's no reason why he's in there on that final drive up by 20...

I agree

.....only with Ditka.

I know this is from year's ago and many of you may be tempted to dismiss it simply because of the time-lapse and score imbalance, BUT:

when Lycoming played against MUC and got shellacked, the tight end, caught a pass after the game was decided and gave the Warriors the finger as he raced down the sideline.

Now, this is merely one data point, but before we enshrine the MUC program in the beatification process, let's admit they are human, have bad actors as all programs do, and are venal creatures like we all are.

I tell you the truth, sometimes when I read posts from MUC folks you can almost hear angelic choirs singing in the background, even if it is only in their heads.  And clearly, since they are overwhelmingly successful, who are you to even begin to question them.

I thought the whole point of these posts was to engender comments?

I can hardly wait to see the purple goo that this one generates - but I was at the game and saw the unsportsmanlike performance when the Warriors were all but in the showers.

Not rediculas, and the answer is yes.

If you  wanted to keep the ball out the hands of a team that's two scoring drives took a total of 8 plays , who would you give the ball to?
