Announcers calling it at 7:00 left.

They know way too much about football east of the Rockies but what do I expect....

St. Glenn up to his old tricks again,he just can't help himself

[D O.C.]

Going for 2. Insult.  I might understand if you let some freshman have a crack at it.

[D O.C.]

No turnover the rest of the game, please.

off season goals:  teach Payne to hold the ball

[D O.C.]

Before the injury Riddle would have run that one.

Watching both game today l think Mt. Union will win it all.  Don't think UST defense can stop Mt Union but UST will have to do more than run and not sure they will against MU defense.

[D O.C.]

Announcers haven't even bothered to mentioned how many underclassmen LINFIELD has returning next year.

[MonroviaCat]

Indeed--we'll be back.  St. Thomas was clearly the better team today.  That offensive line was just too much and the RB kept chugging.....

[sjusection105]

Good year Cats

Replying to this again:

Come on now.  This isn't the same as going for 2 against a Carleton team you're going to beat by 80.  Linfield had scored TD's on two straight drives and was building some momentum; you guys just had a crazy come-from-behind win last week, too.  UST was guarding against the (admittedly long shot but not yet out of bounds) scenario that Linfield would continue the furious rally.  It's a one in a million shot, but imagine how you feel if Linfield scores a couple more times and it's 37-31 with Linfield lining up for one more onside kick...you'd start wondering "Damn, why didn't I go for 2 on that last touchdown?"

Look, I understand that any fan is going to be salty about stuff done against their own team, but as a completely neutral fan with zero dog in this fight who usually keeps a pretty close eye on "sportsmanship" I have zero problem going for 2 there to make your lead an even three touchdowns.

Basically, unless Linfield is going to concede the game and stop trying to come back, St. Thomas is within their rights to continue scoring and secure the win.  If you're going to get pissy about the other team scoring to make sure you don't come back, you have to agree to stop trying to come back.  Take it as a compliment.  The UST staff considered Linfield enough of a threat that they didn't feel safe with a 20-point lead and 5 minutes to play, so they wanted to make it an even 21.

I dunno--I kind of thought Mt. U looked a lot like Linfield (especially the way their Defense is made up)----Tommies might be able to run it quite well.  That being said, I think Mt. U's offense comes out stronger than the Cats did so it should be a better game......
