high times in d3............

Not if you are a Fisher alum 

[Bartman]

Yes, moving on...

This IC/Hobart matchup will be very interesting when you consider:

Hobart has yet to play a road game
The Bombers have had an extra week to prepare
Ithaca's made some significant changes from the early weeks (Nabi being the obvious one)

Bart is still the favorite in my mind, but it's going to be a good one. Forecast is for upper 50s and rainy

Bombers,
     This is truly an exciting game for many reasons. Bartman played his Freshman season against Ithaca as a walk on. Excited to get into his first game, Bartman played on the Dline and was double teamed all the way to Trumansburg(a small town 11 miles to the North) on the first play...the IC lineman laughed at poor Bartman as he wondered why this never happened to him in High School ....Bartman has respect for the Bombers but no love ....it is time to avenge that brutal and unfeeling double team by the current Statesmen(I would love to be on the field, but I have lost my eligibility....fortunately ).....possess the Butt this Saturday and make the rookie IC coach yield to the skill and power of the 2017 Statesmen and have him experience something no Ithaca HC has experienced....... a loss to the Statesmen on a field overlooking Cayuga Lake! GOBART....The official and less emotional analysis to follow later in the week on the LL board

Mr and Mrs 91 went to the wineries this past weekend and ended up at some irish pub in geneva
had a nice time
good pub grub and couldnt remember if Bart was playing at home or away that day.....By the look of all the hobart swag in the bar I assumed home....

91-
    Geneva and the wineries love the tourism(+k for the visit) ... perhaps you were at Eddie O'Brien's ...good sportsbar.....The Bart was home last Saturday beating up on Endicott and their Hobart Alum HC, Kevin DeWall.....Hope the Cardinals find their game and have better luck the rest of the way.....if not...just drink the wine you bought at the wineries

[fisheralum91]

It indeed was O'Briens
and at 27-59$ a crack for some of those bottles....ill sip them and gulp the Utica Club!

[Bartman]

Fisher alums are always quite practical !

[fisheralum91]

Bought a bottle at Standing stone for 59$ and the mrs said - good thing you LIKE UC!

It sucks when I have to be objective and vote Hobart off the island with 2 losses...CNU looks pretty strong after today

I struggled with that as well, however, CNU looked pretty darn good, I only watch the bits a pieces, but Rowan looked stale and CNU appeared to be bigger, stronger and faster.

I still think Hobart has a chance to tie for the LL and possibly get the tie breaker for the bid(must beat RPI and RPI must beat Ithaca), although they did lose against an improved IC team in Ithaca with a great Soph WR in Gladney and pretty good Frosh QB in Nabi... but it is their second  loss.  Perhaps they could be #10 but I think they have to earn their way back into the ERFP buy beating RPI by a good margin and win out. CNU deserves the nod this week.

Definitely not bigger, but faster...Rowan has a lot of "grown men" that must be doing post graduate work as 25 to 30 year olds!

FWIW, Gladney is listed as a sophomore...nevertheless, he's a playmaker and has at least a couple more years.

Thanks Pep, my mistake...I feel better now, Gladney will only play us 2 more times instead of 3. His 545 yards in 4 games this year, matches last year's full season. The only team to keep him under 140 yards this season  was Brockport ( 6 catches for 35 yards). BTW,great win against Buffalo State.....

I think CNU vs. Salisbury is a Top 5 worthy game (as far as East Region matchups go).

Even though they aren't top ten, RPI vs. HOB and SUNY vs. HUSS will have playoff implications as both are effectively conf / elimination type games for the LL and ECFC.
