Empire 8 in-game updates

[boobyhasgameyo]

The Hartwick feed has turned to complete crap.  It comes back in just long enough for me to see that the score has changed.  It's turning into a Big 12 game right now.  34-31 Fisher midway through the 3rd quarter.  Fisher missed an XP...that might come back to haunt them.

If Ithaca can somehow beat Cortland for the CortaJug - they hand SJF the E8 AQ (amazingly)

. .. should SJF beat Hartwick that is.

so we'll see

Fisher has to beat Alfred next week as well.  If they beat Hartwick this week that is. 

Fisher up 41-31 late in the 3rd.

That was fantastic.  Hartwick goes for it on another 4th down and converts.  Number 12 who has been a jerk the whole time was running down the field taunting as it was happening.  Except the Hartwick player with the ball got blown up and fumbled it.  Fisher recovers.

SPeaking of Big 12 -esque, Brockport and Morrisville tied at 42  with 7:24 left.

[middlerelief]

Alfred scores with 30 seconds left -- that is a team with some grit

AU and SJF could be playing for the AQ

C'mon Ithaca beat Cortland for F's Sake!!

4th and 27 and Hartwick goes for it.  They fail to convert but a roughing the passer penalty is called on Fisher.  Again absolutely killlllling themselves with extending Hartwick drives.  They have played so much better than Hartwick today but this game is kept close because of untimely penalties and mistakes. 

I will say though, Fisher fan aside, that QB sold the roughing call big time.  It wasn't much and he was on the ground embellishing.  You just knew he was fine and would get right back up once the call was made, and it happened.  But whatever - good for him for trying. 

Fisher 41
Hartwick 34

6:55 left in the 4th

[pg04]

Morrisville goes for it 4th and 4 on the Brockport 49 and gets stopped. Brockport with a chance to take the lead with 3:25 left.

[pg04]

Dan Andrews, who earlier in the game broke the school record for TDs, rushes for the 3rd in this game and Brockport leads 49-42 with 1:32 left. SHould be frantic finish.

[pg04]

Brockport intercepts with 46 seconds left. Golden eagles run it out and win 49-42. Morrisville had lost any chance to get in a 6 way tie with the Alfred and Fisher (presumably) wins, but this hands them the 4th conference lost.

[boobyhasgameyo]

Remember that missed XP I talked about that could come back to bite Fisher?  (Of course you don't because nobody is going to read all of those posts)

Well Hartwick is driving with under a minute left.  Deep in Fisher territory.  Down 7 instead of down 8. 

[pg04]

Tuned in just in time for the ill advised throw by Hartwick. Interception by Fisher, Alfred-SJF should be treated as a conference championship game by both teams.

[boobyhasgameyo]

Never mind.  Fisher intercepted the ball with 30 seconds to go. 

Assuming they can execute taking knees without turning it over - the better team won today.  This game shouldn't have been as close as it was. 

[boobyhasgameyo]

Actually this game is really chippy.  The refs are mostly to blame for this because they've been letting crap go all game.  Lots of taunting and extra curricular nonsense throughout.
