Re: New Penn State HC Greg Schiano

Not going to be a fun situation for the new HC at Penn State. First he'll have to try to hold the recruiting class together, there will be some defectors there. Second, he'll have to replace their best offensive threat in WR Allen Robinson who declared early for the draft today, and 3rd he'll have ...

Re: New Penn State HC Greg Schiano

I'd put very high on the list, and possibly #1, the reason to leave being that Houston is far better than a 3 win team (they vastly underachieved this year). They have the top pick in the draft, they need a QB, they will draft Teddy Bridgewater, and with that defense and a credible QB they should b...

Re: Lafayette 5-6 IN playoffs

Fordham has the two most athletic FCS recievers i've seen all year. Tebucky Jones Jr, and Brian Wetzel are very good, and can take it to the house on any play. Koonce is a very good back. Fordham is darn near impossible to stop on offense when Neibrich is playing. They will beat Sacred Heart easily,...

Re: Lafayette 5-6 IN playoffs

Do you hate the NCAA tournament... With 24 teams... yes. But hate is a strong word because it's still a hell of a lot better than what I-A has, but the field at 16 was good. This is not.

Re: Lafayette 5-6 IN playoffs

That is not the point. In fact our OOC schedule was decent. 9-1 Harvard, 8-2 Princeton, W&M and another playoff team in Sacred Heart who went 10-2. The point is, which you chose to ignore, is that Lafayette is a much different team now. We have a freshman QB who is completing 80% of his passes....

If you win your conference you get in the playoffs. That is the way it is for every sport in every division of the NCAA where the NCAA sponsors a tournament. Quit crying like a bitch.

Re: Lafayette 5-6 IN playoffs

You need more teams in the conference, then. Playing a conference schedule of just 6 games leave the likliehood like a 5-6 team making the playoffs more possible. The Southland was like that for awhile, too. Too few conference games leads to outliers like this. So you're saying they needed more Pat...

Re: Lafayette 5-6 IN playoffs

Lafayette beat 2 ranked teams in a row to end the season. This is a different team with our Freshman QB at the controls. By the way Lafayette won the PL with or without Fordham. Lafayette beat Fordham, and both teams finished 5-1 in the PL. Per the tie breaker Lafayette would still get the autobid ...

Maybe I should start pulling FCS embarrassing attendance pictures.... Those pictures have no context- in most of them the teams aren't even on the field.

Patriot should lose their auto and not be allowed to have Fordham get an at large. This is bullshit. If Lehigh were to get an at-large, I may stop watching I-AA football. Lafayette lost to Sacred Heart, Penn, Princeton, Harvard, Colgate and got trounced by W&M. They do NOT belong in the playoff...

Re: NFL Draft

Eagles trade up and draft Matt Barkley wit the first pick of the 4th round. Getting Barkley here may be a bargain, but it is also a surprise (at least to me) since Barkley doesn't seem to have the skill set to run a Chip Kelly offense.
