Well for the line when you slip in the mud there is usually a tendency to grab the person you are blocking resulting in a holding penalty.

Explained football 101 style

no, i still don't get it....maybe the fat a$$e$ can use shorter steps and move their feet. i have never heard that a slippery field results in more holding penalties. that may be the most absurd excuse i have ever heard for getting more penalties than the other team. if that was the case, the other team would have as many or more holding penalties for "slipping" in the mud.

or, as usual, i could be taking crazy pills again.

go franklin, kill some mo'fo's who don't know bout the sheezy in the heezy fo shizzy my name be mtizzy.

word.

Nobody said it was an excuse for DC to have more penalties than the other team. It was a plausible reason why a team might have 13 penalties in a game that was delayed for three hours because of rain and lightning.

Incidentally, Otterbein had 10 penalties for 107 yards that night too. In the next three games, OTT averaged 7 penalties for 56 yards. So, perhaps the weather was a factor. Maybe the officials wanted to get their new hankies good and dirty. Maybe both teams were just plain tired because the game didn't start until nearly 10PM and wasn't over until after 1AM. I wasn't there so I don't know.

(Also note that none of these are excuses. In the end, the players were the ones that committed the penalties.)

Glad to see some more chatter on the board.
70dcalum- I'm working on Sat., giving the SAT's to high school students. I always love to remind them that these test are only their future.

Plus, I'm in the Valley about a hour north of the O.C. you bloody bastard

! Also, stop talking about my sack & marbles, I'm concerned that you have so much knowledge about them. Last of all, give me a call this weekend.
GGB & Altor-point taken, but I still like to look at that as bad coaching which does lead to being undisciplined.

I agree with you 100%

GGB, hasbeen and altor,

I think you are all right in some way or form.....its up to the coaches to keep the players FOCUSED during a delay such as that. I think it can explain maybe a couple of the penalties but the DC team seems to be not as disciplined as in years past.

I would like to see more...seems the HCAC room was more colorful a couple years ago during MSJ's rise to HCAC power.

I haven't seen a hanover fan on this board in a looong time.

Adam Sayer · October 05, 2007, 05:29:31 PM

It was more lively because we were all still in college. Now we're working stiffs like everyone else.

altor · October 05, 2007, 05:48:57 PM

SaintsFan:
I haven't seen a truly disciplined DC team in many years. Even going back to those couple 9-1 teams in the early '90s, they made a lot of dumb mistakes. Back then, it seemed like they would get penalized at least twice a game for stupid and unnecessary personal fouls...things like taunting or late hits out of bounce. In recent years, they've really cleaned a lot of that up, but you still see the occasional slip.

Altor,

Perhaps "Eng's" induction, tomorrow, might serve as a decent example for the current crop at "North Clinton High." Dragon Lady and I wanted to get up for it, but not in cards. Hope that Jimmy Clark, Bill McPhee, Mike Matta, Gary Blakeman, Tommy Shaffner, Sparks, and others of that era do. They may have been beaten by ONU and MUC, but there weren't any chippy players under Tigyer.

Back to the metamusil, rose hip tea, and Lawrence Welk hour.

Best to all HCAC teams tomorrow - stay healthy.

Psychologically, probably; chemically, not deadly. Add a smattering of hops, granola, and soda water and you've got an equivalent of Bud Light

Hope your Griz kick it tomorrow, VB

i am hoping the griz keep building off of each week and keep getting better. i know i have said it before, but indy is a great football town and a town that could have a great DIII playoff team each year.

anybody hear nick saban bashing south florida's recruiting? don't they have to meet the same ncaa requirements at alabama as they do at usf? thought that bold statement was out of line, personally.
