2009 Cortaca Jug

[Yanks 99]

Or that the most difficult part of graduating from Cortland is telling your parents you are moving back in with them...

Beat me to it.

+k.

You two remain very cute after all these years. +k

He had me at hello...which is pretty much how you can snag any Cortland undergrad...

Anyone else find it strange there is only ONE cortland poster and about FIFTEEN for ithaca?  No computers allowed during gym class!

And yet another retread from some joke site.  Might as well go back and read the Cortaca 2008 board.  Ok, if we want to stick to the classics, was the most difficult part of being accepted to Ithaca having to tell your parents you are gay?

Enlighten me how making an observation that there are literally about ten bomber posters and one cortland poster could have been from a joke site? You're playing into the cortland stereotype with your nonsensical comments (that means they don't make sense).

Wow you are dumb as a friggin stump aren't you. No computers allowed in gym class...there's the retread. 

Its a 2 part joke.... 1 + 1 = 2.....you probably read the first line, forgot what it said, finished the joke, and then proceeded to reply.....its ok I forgive you!

So, have we had our fill of insults? Anyone want to talk about the game? Cortland's 56 points against Brockport is pretty impressive. Is it the competition or is Smith now fully comfortable back behind center?

And on the opposite end, Ithaca with arguably their best defensive performance, albeit against a Secky who may not have been 100% or fully comfortable after the injury.

What can we expect from Cortland this year? Strengths? Weaknesses?

Love to talk football instead although the insults are fun. 

Smith is in fact appearing to be more comfortable leading the offense and I think the coaches have figured out how to best use his skills as well as the rest of the team.  Personally I think the coaching staff has done a great job with this years team at CState given the injury situation. When Pitcher went down, I was thinking a .500 season would be acceptable.  They got creative and brought Smith back and moved more toward a wildcat like offense using the talents of the younger Guiliano.  My hats off to the coaches for adjusting and getting to 7-2. 

Last weeks concern for me was the defense.  They didn't show up giving up so many points to Brockport particularly after the outstanding year the defense has had.  If they play up to their potential, it will be a great game.

What's the deal with Ithaca?  Certainly not a banner year for them either but frankly I don't know what the expectation for them was at the start of the season.

That Cortland-Bport game was a mind****. Cortland had only allowed a maximum of 17 points in any game and suddenly, they allow 42? It looks like Brockport's turned into Hartwick, but still, that's shocking. But, at the same time, it makes me feel a little better about the 56 they scored now that I know Brockport can't stop anyone.

Ithaca's season has been disappointing, but in retrospect, the talent they lost, especially along the offensive lines, and a road heavy schedule (that's actually been pretty tough) if they wind up 7-3, that's a pretty good season.

It's impossible to know what you're getting from Grastorf, whose accuracy comes and goes, and you won't see any big plays from the passing game like you saw last year. I think this will be a great game.

[maxpower]

Man this does suck.... why even bother without an adversary as able as CState?

Inconsistency is the one thing I have been hearing about Grastorf and the significant losses on the O line to graduation.  I agree that if both teams play up to their abilities and the weather holds, it could turn out to be a really fun game to watch.  Didn't realize they spent a lot of time on the road this year.  That really does make a difference IMHO.  Traveling was fun but there's no place like home.  Sorry for what might be construed as a Judy Garland reference.  It was totally unintentional.

Has Ithaca defended anyone that made any signficant use of the wildcat offense this year?  While I'm not a real fan of it under normal conditions, it has certainly proved itself to be productive for CState this year and forces defensive coordinators to build plans for it which often takes valuable time away from building a defensive game plan for the opponents standard offense.

Nothing Wildcat related, but Springfield runs that triple-option read and it was a total disaster for IC. Their top defensive player, Matt Scalice has been hurt all year and they miss that. IC's also bit on trick plays from Cortland before. Ithaca's biggest defensive problem for the last five years has been rushing the passer.

One interesting wrinkle is that IC seems to be running trick plays of their own quite a bit, which could be a good sign (Welch opening the playbook up) or a bad sign (not having the confidence to beat teams running standard plays)

I think its a good thing they're opening it up a little bit.  The Patriots run flea flickers all the time and you never hear anyone saying its because they didn't have the confidence to beat teams with "standard" plays.  I hope the Bombers have something in store come Saturday!

[RedDragonFan]

I agree.  Coaches opening the playbook wider because they think they have to is very different from a coach simply loading up the gameplan.  This is really shaping up to be an interesting game when you break it down. 

[cstate19]

Wow.  I am gone for a little bit and 5 pages are put up.   The jokes have been pretty lame with both sets of fans striking out.  The old jokes with inserted school names are awful and I have seen them from both sides on here.

As far as football goes I have absolutely no clue what to expect.  I have gone to every game since 2003 when I was a freshman and each year, my expectations were clear, but I have no clue what to expect.  The Cortland-Brockport threw me for a complete loss and Ithaca is up and down.   This might be nice to just walk into the gate at Butterfield and enjoy what unfolds.

Things to consider:

- Does Cortland have a prayer of a Pool C if they win?  I say no.

- Why do IC fans use "caveman" references when making fun of Dragon fans when they chant the ever intelligent "OooGa BooGa" after each TD?

[cstate19]

- Does Cortland have to "rent out" Butterfield for our annual dance on their field?

[cstate19]

- Was Kelly Gordon the best KR to ever play in the Cortaca Jug? Why did Mr. Gordon give him a girl's name?

No prayer for the Pool C even with a win.  No clue on the "Oooga Booga" chant yet they make caveman comments and lastly, Yanks, not sure I go brilliant but "He had me at hello" I thought was funny as hell. +k
