About your post on if Nova had another 30 minutes, they would have WON by 20.
This is such an amateur post! You know going into the game the teams are on the field for 60 minutes. This is all, "what if", kind of of BS. Hell, last year in the 2012 semi's after being down 35-0 at the half at home, EWU outscored SHSU 42-10 in the last 30 minutes. All we needed was 3 more downs and 25 seconds for a win. Don't give me this 30 minute crap scenario when it would never exist! Talk reality, NOT fantasy. Sorry to be so abrupt. This is why teams have head coaches to manage the game. Also, I'm no real fan of the Griz, but your post was so Monday morning. Lastly, Being an EWU player parent, the Griz are probably the team you least want to face now as they are healthy and on a roll. Watch out NDSU!!

TALON

Let me help you get that spittle off your computer screen: mix equal amounts of water, isopropyl alcohol and white vinegar to clean glass. Then wipe with a lint free cloth or newspaper. This product evaporates quickly without any streaks. :thumb:

Now that you can see the words on the screen, let's address your post point by point:

1) I am not paid to post, so yes, I am an amateur. You got me there...somehow I never thought people would figure that out. :oops:
2) Going into the game, we do not know that the teams are on the field for 60 minutes. You might want to study football a bit more...there is always the possibility of OT. :doh: More on this later.
3) Of course it was a "what if" post. Duh. You're 2 years and 30-some posts into this message board thing and you lose your composure due to a "what if" post? What have you been doing with the rest of your posts (if I find the time today, I'll research that if you want to continue this discussion). :lol: You must be fun at parties.
4) The next two sentences...whoo-hoo! Now, did you notice anything different about the EWU game versus the nova game?
5) Uhhh...yes, in reality, NOT fantasy, the game could have gone on for another 30 minutes (see point #2), but that, as you unintentionally observed, was probably crap...only because nova would have dispatched the Griz in the first OT session.
6) No need to apologize, you were probably drinking and lost your composure. It happens to the best of CS.com posters...check out cattamountman's posts (or, the other voice in his head, FCS PATRIOT).
7) Not sure what your, "this is why," refers to regarding teams having head coaches to manage games. You might want to reframe that statement. :suspicious:
8) Correction: my post was so Tuesday afternoon. I refuse to limit myself to Monday morning...one never knows when something brilliant is going to pop into my head. Some might say we're still waiting for such a moment, but I believe that most artist's value to society isn't fully recognized until well after they are dead. That probably has something to do with some hedge fund manager swooping in to purchase everything in the artist's estate, and then sitting on the works before releasing them with great marketing and at a controlled pace. You might want to keep a copy of this post...personal responses usually have greater value.
9) You believe that being an EWU parent gives you some sort of special insight into the Griz? :? Really? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: And does being an EWU parent give you insight into how comparatively good Towson is, or are you just blowing posts, that are so Thursday morning, out of your amateur ass? :suspicious:

Since I am here to help, I'll leave you with one other idea that might aid you in your time of need. No need to thank me.

Dude, really it was just a post from your saying " if we would have only 30 more MINUTES" which got me fired up. That's an entire 2nd half. 30 minutes in football, your not an idiot, is a lifetime. Could careless about the outcome of that game, it was just your quote of 30 minutes that got under my skin. And yes, I was on my 2nd Coors light for the night after being home from work about an hour, LOL. Take care Boss!!

You posted that junk after just your second Coors Light? Does that mean you are a lightweight drinker or a lightweight thinker? :suspicious:

You implied that you, as an EWU parent, somehow had some sort of insight that was worth stating that the Griz, "are probably the team you least want to face..."

"Least" is a comparative word...that means you have to have something else, in this case another team or teams, with which to make a comparison. In other words (and I am trying to dumb this down for you), your statement was that because you are an EWU parent, you believe that the Griz were the team that others would not want to play more than any other team.

Now here is where I might lose you again, especially if you've had another Coors Light or two, but try to follow along. How would you know, especially with the qualifier (which you seemed to believe had some importance) that you are an EWU parent, KNOW whether the Griz were the team the other teams would probably least want to face? Do you know anything about Towson? NDSU? UNH? SELO? Thus, I asked you if you, as an EWU player parent (the qualifier that you thought gave you the reasoning for your post), had any insight into Towson (I could have picked any other team, but don't miss the forest through the tress here) that could allow you to make a comparison needed to make your statement have any validity.

Since misery usually loves company, I'm sure there was some Delaware State University parent out there thinking, "Lastly, Being an DSU player parent, the Cookers (or whatever BCU players are called) are probably the team you least want to face now as they are healthy and on a roll. Watch out NDSU!!"

However, they were probably smart enough, or too drunk, to post such a statement on a message board. :thumb:

These would be my rankings, though if my mood changes I might put Jacksonville St ahead of Coastal Carolina, and put SELA all the way up to #3.

Which is why I have them at #5. Sure, having a great offense (second best of the 8 teams) is great, but giving up 450 yards a game with the teams remaining can't happen. You give up that much to EIU or Towson (which would be the semifinal matchup), it will be tough for EWU to win. EIU had a +14 turnover margin, EWU is +3.

Defense has been a liability at times for us and I would love for our D to continue playing like it did against SDSU but we DID manage to win 11 games with it and at least one of those teams was as good as EIU and Towson. So it's it much easier if it doesn't but it can.

Please, show me one untrue comment. This is my opinion of the rankings (just like everyone else has, like it or not), but at least I can provide some insight into what I think instead of just "blah da blah EWU is the best…blah da blah…OVC sucks." Give me evidence to consider.

They have never advanced past the quarterfinals, but have played some of the best quarterfinal games in the past decade including all three games against Northern Iowa and the game at Montana State...

I'm officially jumping on the Eastern Illinois bandwagon, or at least in terms of thinking they're the shizzle. I'll be rooting for them to lose every game from here on out, but I'm a believer that they are quality. Outside of NDSU, I think they are the greatest know commodity at this point... everyone else has some question marks.

Still, it's been quite a while since they faced a real test, so I think Towson has a good shot. I'd love to see Towson and Eastern (the real one) in the semis.
