East Region Playoff Discussion

[The Truth 00]

jim jones posted on here?  ha.....that guy was a stud and so was marcus coleman, who got drafted in the 7th round by the atl falcons that year. it as close for a half i believe. that widener team was the best i've seen in person...and then they lost 70-30 to mount union the following week....damn the midwest!

[John McGraw]

Marcus Coleman? Who's he?

I know Michael Coleman was an All-American at Widener in 2000 and 2001.

In fact, he was a 2000 D3football.com All-America second team wide receiver. The following year, he was listed ahead of Jones (2nd team) as a D3football.com All-America first team selection.

Isn't the option a trick play?  And don't they run it play after play?

They run it well.  But I don't think they can win with it in the playoffs. 

As for the grass, before the game SC fan(s) were arguing that the grass would not be an issue because the defense had to run and cut on the same field.  Is that argument now abandoned because the defense did run and cut on the same field?

EDIT:  Yet again, SC fans have diverted the discussion away from the question I posed.  Why is this SC team different than previous SC teams that couldn't win with consistency in the playoffs?

When was the last time Ithaca made it as far as the final 8?
Springfield, I believe, did it in 2000 and that gimmick offense scored over 40 in an Elite 8 Game.....

Seriously dude, its called Google.  Look into it.  It really keeps the taste of shoe leather out of your mouth.

Did you see the question mark Jose? Reno was asking a question.

[The Truth 00]

thanks mcgraw, you wiseguy. yea, i must have got him mixed up with the guy that just got cut from the cowboys for DUI. i don't feel like looking up names but at least i got half of it right.  that team had more speed than any i've ever seen at the d3 level. their qb granato was good too.

Google, hell, I'll pull a Pat Coleman and say just check out THE WEBSITE YOU ARE CURRENTLY USING once in awhile. I hear they have some info on DIII football!

+1 for you

JOSE YOU ARE THE MAN

you make relevant arguments by pointing out words that i have used such as irelevant to make your point sound much more firm.

Also, changing my name from Fan of D3, to fan of SC to Fan of Springfield has been very clever and also making your points as to why springfield has a gimmick offense.  Thank GOD the word of the day wasnt superfluous, i dont think i could use it in a sentence!!!

JoseICdidntmaketheplayoffs..Arguments on message boards, or trying to make someone you're "point-counter pointing" with seem stupid by using bad humor is just flat out poor. Please refrain.

I cannot wait to hear your response to "fan of whining" or "Fan of SC losing in the first round".  Heck, surprise me, give me "Fan of going to the playoffs".

This post is direted to jose, not you max or anyone else so I hope I dont offend.  Just wanna clear up some grey areas...



HEY PRIDE

[JQV]

JOSE YOU ARE THE MAN

A point on which we agree.

Note: No response to my contention that this SC team is just like all the previous SC teams thus making their previous playoff experience relevant (which is the oppossite of irrelevant).

you make relevant arguments by pointing out words that i have used such as irelevant to make your point sound much more firm.

Again, we agree, my arguments are relevant.  They are also relevant, relevant, relevant, relevant, and relevant.

We also agree that I use the words of your argument to point out its inconsistencies.

Note: No response to my contention that this SC team is just like all the previous SC teams thus making their previous playoff experience relevant (which is the oppossite of irrelevant).

Also, changing my name from Fan of D3, to fan of SC to Fan of Springfield has been very clever and also making your points as to why springfield has a gimmick offense.  Thank GOD the word of the day wasnt superfluous, i dont think i could use it in a sentence!!!

We also agree that I am clever and, despite the disjointed sentence structure, agree that my points as to the gimmicky nature of SC's offense are valid.  We are really making progress here.  You may not be able to use to word superfluous in a sentence but you certainly can lay the irony on thick by ending that sentence with superfluous punctuation.

Note: No response to my contention that this SC team is just like all the previous SC teams thus making their previous playoff experience relevant (which is the oppossite of irrelevant).

JoseICdidntmaketheplayoffs..Arguments on message boards, or trying to make someone you're "point-counter pointing" with seem stupid by using bad humor is just flat out poor. Please refrain.

Fan of Scattered Thought... does this sentence mean that arguments on message boards are poor and should be refrained from?  If so, why are you making a counterargument?  Or, does this sentence mean humor should not be used in a point-counterpoint?  If so, I think I am ok with the jokes as you have never raised a counterpoint.  Once we cross that threshold we can discuss further the quality of my humor.

Note: No response to my contention that this SC team is just like all the previous SC teams thus making their previous playoff experience relevant (which is the oppossite of irrelevant).

I cannot wait to hear your response to "fan of whining" or "Fan of SC losing in the first round".  Heck, surprise me, give me "Fan of going to the playoffs".

I think this was a noble attempt at trying to make fun of yourself so as to steal my thunder.  That is an interesting tack that I didn't see coming.  The next place I would have gone was Fan of Getting Monkey Stomped at Butterfield or, Fan of Backing into the Playoffs, or Fan of complaining about the field conditions.  But, you seemed to have usurped those.  You also seem to sell yourself short.  You are free to be a Fan of Going to the Playoffs.  We, at IC, will continue to be Fans of Winning the Big one.  Or, more accurately, Fans of Winning the Big One...three times.

Note: No response to my contention that this SC team is just like all the previous SC teams thus making their previous playoff experience relevant (which is the oppossite of irrelevant).

Please boys, one at a time.

HEY PRIDE

Man there is a great spoof on this ridiculous cheer that Max sent me in a private message.  I can't do it though.  I can't.  Pat already warned me once.

Note: No response to my contention that this SC team is just like all the previous SC teams thus making their previous playoff experience relevant (which is the oppossite of irrelevant).

[The Truth 00]

fan of backing into playoffs....good one jose. 9-1 and a #2 seed doesn't match up with that one though. the joke related to "hey pride" - now that got a snicker out of me.  good banter today, i'll be around on the nightshift.

I'll give you credit.  You at least raised an argument why this SC team is different/better than the past.  I don't agree with the argument but it was better than "they are better because I say so."

+k for the compliment.  I am going to defer to Tecmo on some topics and to my "sources" on others. 

[fan of d3]

Once again...

JOSE you are the man and I can only wish that someday I will be like you.  Please, fellow SC posters, do not try to prove anything to jose because we are all wrong, all of us.  Thank you oh mighty Jose for gracing me with your knowledge.  

This is Fan of Watching IC not being the top 25, not winning the jug, not making the playoffs....I like the way that sounds for a new name.

Thank you oh mighty Jose for gracing me with your knowledge.  

It really isn't a problem.  All you had to do was ask.  I am very generous.

RT, don't get RowanLB92 started. 

[superman57]

Listen Jose is just trying to get you to make a point, which your not,  and just because his team had a rough season doesn't mean anything, HEY Pride what was your record last year? Huh
