East Region Playoff Discussion

[sjfcards]

You also wonder about Kehres retiring from Mt. Union.  Not that his son can't or won't do the job, but all good things come to an end sometime. 

I don't follow UMU religiously, but from what I have seen on these boards it seems like this team doesn't always have the focus as they have in years past. A lot of posts about the team not being totally dialed in. With Kehres Mount always seemed to have a laser sharp focus even when they were playing teams that had no business being on the field with them.

That is a huge compliment to a coaching staff and is very difficult to replicate.

I think UMHB takes it all this year...

I was looking at UMHB's results this year and really they didn't blow me away.  I'm very interested to see the final score in their matchup against Rowan.  Now a team like Linfield on the other hand?  They are steamrolling teams like it is nobody's business. 

[boobyhasgameyo]

Actually UMHB had quite a three week stretch of dominance. 

63-7
80-0
65-10

All of those teams were below .500 but still that's impressive.  I just see a team like Linfield as a more serious threat to win it all.

Well all 3 members of the D3fb.com crew picked Fisher to win by less than a TD...

FA91 will be happy, I think it's the kiss of death so have fun in Texas Hobart!!!

UMHB is going to ****ing steamroll the Profs. Dlip is hoping he is wrong...but for once he may actually be right. C'mon Rowan here is your chance to get your name back into the top 2 or 3 best in the east!

The way the last two weeks played out for Linfield wasn't nearly as impressive.  Granted, the opposition ramped up, but they weren't as crisp it seemed like.  Tomorrow will be interesting.

I was thinking the sme thing!

Yea, I admit that was a pretty horrible story, but it really is the only thing I ever associate with Delaware.

There used to be a really good go-go bar in Smyrna Delaware on Rt 13.  Good burgers, cheap beer and dancing girls.  Made a good pit stop on the way back to Norfolk from NJ.

Hobart fans are happy to be the "expert's" underdog. The High School teams we have been playing over the last 3 years were tougher than you think! I think a number of Hobart starters remember a 36 point win over Fisher  only 2 years ago or was that a pre-season game? A recent 7 point  playoff loss to #3 Wesley with a back up QB , a 14 point win against #14 Wittenberg last year must have been pretty lucky outings.  Hobart played one of the upper tier in 2012 at UST and got thumped, but didn't  Fisher lose in a similar fashion in 2011? I just hope Conlan, Coleman, Worthington and Webb can rise to the occasion and the honor of playing a team from the great E8. Seriously, good luck tomorrow to 2 great Eastern teams and may the winner come out injury free and steal a win in Texas!

That's some impressive sarcasm and believe me, I'm an expert. +k

You do know there are also players on your team that also remember getting monkey stomped by Fisher on your home field too, right?  Since you are referencing seasons past.

Useless stat of the day:

2 of the top running backs in d3 were coached by Ithaca grads.

Steven Webb.  17th in the country in yards, coached by Sheldon Gibson at Dundee, NY HS.
Melikke Van Alstyne.  4th in the country in yards, coached by Scott Connley at Salem, Ma HS.

Lets try to get these boys to Ithaca next time!

Nope, 2010 never happened...

[boobyhasgameyo]

Actually I take that back.  I forgot Webb scored a touchdown in the later parts of the 4th quarter to put them down 20 instead of 27.  So it was a point shy of a true monkey stomp. 

[pumkinattack]

I remember beating fisher in 1997 to 2000...

Then I graduated, continued to act like I was in college for another decade, roped some poor nice girl into taking care of me til death do us part, continue to party in grad school, have a kid and live in three of the five biggest cities on the east coast and will wake up tomorrow to watch the only game that matters at this point .

Let's just do this.  This talk is just that.  We'd all get smoked by all these kids, like when I played in a college aged summer lacrosse league last summer, got my ankles broke regularly, broke a couple of ribs and generally embarrassed my family weekly. 

(P.s. It's a contact league and I did light up some kiddies in front of their girlfriends in that league which was a lot of fun)
