Is Fisher really that big? Sheeet.....i played guard at RPI at 6'4", 285 and we had a couple of Tackles who were tall and 300lbs (and not fat). I can appreciate a big line.....having said that, there were times when teams with undersized DL men gave us fits. It's all a matter of game planning, adjustments, and execution. I really think SJF/Union will be a good matchup but I think Union's experience in the postseason with these kids (Marotti, Angiletta, Arcidiacano, etc) will be the difference maker. Home field is overrated in my view. Don't get me wrong...it pumps you up and helps the home guys. It does NOT, however, disrupt a team the way it does in Div 1-A or the pros. I've been to Notre Dame stadium in the endzone against USC 2 years ago when 85,000 fans plus are unloading...it can't be explained in words. That messes up the opponent's snap count, rhythm, etc. 2000-3000 yelling fans doesnt mean jack...I know, I played in those conditions. It's fun.

RT we have witnesses AND documentation that you are 6'3.

But SJF is that big. But like you said that doesnt mean anything. I remember playing Mansfield (PA) back in the 1990s and they had the biggest line probably Ithacas ever played. Im talking 6'6 300+ pounders that LOOKED good in pads. But they sucked. If your 6'6 300 and your not playing at Syracuse or even Maine, therese something going on there.

Oh come on, it's only like a 20 hour drive. Frank is coming from NYC.

20! It's actually longer than that, I'm in South Florida. Maybe one of these years I'll randomly take in a stagg bowl, but it might take something big happening to get me there.

Port where you at? I'm in the Tampa area

good footage...it was painful to listen to though.

superman57 · November 16, 2006, 10:38:03 AM

ya they try to give all the wanna be's a chance, the good ones though are the ones that do the teamline stream

In ATN springfield is listed as the biggest dissapointment out of the east region for the playoffs...but Mann says they will lose in the Final to Rowan...

If thats the case, is making the East regional final and losing to Perennial power Rowan a big dissapointment?

I can see it being a dissapointment, but not necessarily a shocker if they dont make it that far.

The Truth 00 · November 16, 2006, 10:52:28 AM

yeah, thats kinda weird....they're 9-1, lost to a solid ithaca team. they beat the #3 and #6 seeded teams in their region during the regular season and their considered a disappointment?!?! i wouldn't hold too much weight into that prediction/comment.

superman57 · November 16, 2006, 10:57:42 AM

just as we have been saying they are a gimmick team who needs the offense to click if they play a good d they will lose

The Truth 00 · November 16, 2006, 11:02:03 AM

but he's still picking them to beat both fisher or union in the second round...you call that disappointing? i'm not saying they can't lose in the second round, which is entirely possible...i think both fan of d3 and myself are trying to figure out the "disappointment" part of the statement.

superman57 · November 16, 2006, 11:06:37 AM

I think it means they have the biggest chance to be a dissapointment

fan of d3 · November 16, 2006, 11:07:00 AM

Truth...please disregard anything said by superman..

What I think he is saying is that they have the ability to be the biggest dissapointment in the playoffs (early round loss). What I dont understand though is why pick them to make it to the finals and lose there to a perrenial power and call it a dissapointment. Thats like saying the Tigers were a dissapointment in the MLB went from being last to ALCS...pretty good turn around.
