East Region Playoff Discussion

[pg04]

I'm not sure, I kind of agree that the commentary was a little snide... And we can hear them while they are at commercial...

I think that is the majority of the problem.  It sounded like someone from the stands was yelling at them a bit ago, but couldn't really hear what they were saying.

[RedHawk]

Whatever, this guy isn't even worth the key strokes on my laptop, (FYI we can all hear what you are saying during commercial) Those fans you call idiots are family, friends, mothers, fathers, coaches family who traveled a long way to route their team on.....So if they got a little rowdy at times or cheered excessively at one point or another I will apologize on their behalf.

Congratulations to Montclair State, quite impressive considering we were picked 3rd in the conference...From the sounds of it, the second quarter seemed like a real offensive dual.  Hopefully this will help with recruiting and we will have another shot at the champ next year. Mt. Union, congrats and best of luck the rest of the way!!! Thanks to all of the MSU supporters, everyone drive home safely, see you in 2010...

Just back to the Hotel after the game.

Everyone I met today from Mount Union were class acts. Very friendly and helpful. JT was correct about the buffet before the game. It is an event not to miss. The campus is beautiful. It was a wonderful experience. I got to meet Rascl but we could not find you Seventies. Where were you. I sat on the 50 yard line all the way on top. This MUC fan Waine was there and a real good guy. We had a lot of fun. Now down to the facts as I seen them:

The banner that states "The Machine" is well said. They are a machine and do everything perfect. If you make a mistake, you pay. We got wacked and we shot ourselves in the foot too many times. We sort of kept it in reach at half and continued to shoot ourselves in the foot. 5-6 picks against any team is not a recipt for success, especially MUC.

The Refs lost control of the game. MUC would hold (this is not sour grapes) and the refs would look the other way, leading to frustration. Waine even agreed with me. Then later in the game the refs would start to throw the flag, but it was too late. Please do not think that the refs cost us the game. They did not, but rather lost control of It. Your #11 was a thug and should have been tossed. It did not happen. I thought Coach K would have pulled the kid. Yes we did retaliate aginst #11 and it should not of happened, but the player reacted out of frustration. Then Coach K pulled him. Basically the refs caused this.

The MSU fans were getting calls about the radio announcer making dumb comments about MSU and NJ. I did not hear, but had to assume they were true. Yes 2 fans were yelling up at the booth and speaking their minds.

Congratulations to MUC, you guys are the real deal and in my opinion will be in the Stagg Bowl again. MUC is a great college and the people I met were class acts. Thanks for the experience. Next time, we owe you one.

The announcer just said "I hope these fans enjoy their ride across the PA turnpike, that will be the highlight of their day".  Is this guy serious??!!!

As a former resident of the Keystone State, I think a ride across the PA Turnpike can be a highlight of any day!

Rams- Thanks for the middle of the road explanation. Sorry, I got sick in the early going and had to leave

rams,
You're a class act.  Thanks for your perspective on the game.

[wesleydad]

rams1102, glad you enjoyed the trip, sorry that the outcome didnt go your way.  Have a safe trip across the turnpike as there are worse roads you could have to take to get home.  One more win and I will be making the trip to see if Wesley can put a kink in the machine.

[RedHawk]

Your a great guy Dave!!!! Thanks for all of your support over the years, I will let you know about the Montclair State Football Beefsteak we have every year, it used to be just alum but we opened it up to friends which you certainly are...I strongly recommend you don't miss this by the way, it's always the night before good Friday (everyone has off) some real characters show up!!

I don't want to beat a dead horse, but it's funny how the announcers failed to mention any of the extra curricular activity on the MUC side, this is the first I heard of # 11 doing anything wrong whatsoever. Guess he was busy trying to come up with some witty comments about New Jersey and his best stuff was a long trip on the PA turnpike, or laughing and saying things like " ahh typical NJ" good stuff and original, you have a prosperous future as a color commentator......

[Lyco80]

I missed the game and the accompanying drama - but me, Paulie Walnuts, Tony, Silvio and Chris do not like people talking smack about NJ.

As for the PA turnpike - if those landlocked knuckleheads ever want to get to the Jersey Shore they will be thankful for the engineering feat that is the PA turnpike.

And since I am on a roll, the PA turnpike was a radical invention when it was created and is still a darn fine road - just a wee bit too long.

Just got home from the game.  Did not hear the radio broadcast and I'm glad I didn't.

This was a hard fought game with a lot of heavy hitting going on.  MSU made it interesting untill Fischer was injured on a play where Millings was over zealous and was flagged for roughing the passer.

Millings is not a thug.  He's a tough, hard nosed player, but normally plays very much under controll. To their credit both of these teams were playing hard and taking it to one another and that caused some tempers to flare and mar an otherwise well played game.  As rams said, the refs lost control.

rams, nice to meet you.  I wish you a safe trip home.  Maybe we can do it again next year.  If your motel has Sports Time Ohio on the cable, check out the hs playoff game between Massillon and Glenville.  Could be a good one.

Nice meeting you too my friend.

Shouldn't you take I-80 to get to Montclair instead of the PA Turnpike?

You're correct, I80 then to 287 to Oakland, NJ.

[bleedpurple]

DVC could be the team that gives MUC a run for its money. I thought Susq was pretty good, and they got freakin' BLITZED today.

I'm going to assume you are kidding and laugh along with you...

@bleed: no, my post was not a joke. Read my columns, jerky, I don't make a ton of jokes, especially on how good or bad a team is.

@raidertown: don't listen to bleedpurple's mindless drivel. There are a few really good people on these board and site that can answer some of those questions, hscoach is one right off the top of my head. Check out the north region and oac boards for more on muc. 

In retrospect, maybe my posts weren't the ones that were so mindless....
