15 yard penalty on Ibanez for grossly overreacting to BlackFalkin's post.

15 yard penalty on BF for not appreciating Towson's advantages yesterday.

Offsetting penalties. Replay the squabble in 2014.

BF is a little bitch who can't take the heat or a loss.

But this....... EWU more talented,

I don't think so. I think overall Towson was the more talented team overall. I think Adams is a difference maker that kept EWU in the game by continually avoiding the rush and making plays. I don't like him but I think that was the case.

And I think that if Towson had not had their starting QB go down they'd have won by at least two touchdowns. And I think that without EWU having an outstanding playmaker like Adams in the QB position and with Towson not having their own starting quarterback go down it would've been a complete Towson blowout.

Put it this way: Think about what it would've been like if instead of Towson playing without its starting quarterback for the second half it would've been EWU playing without theirs. I think you can see what I'm saying. To me it's very reasonable to believe that in that scenario Towson would've won going away. Pretty much a blowout.

With their starting QB in there most of the way Towson had 301 yards of offense in the first half. Him going down completely changed the game. There was no indication that EWU was going to slow down Towson's offense while he was in there and Towson had a 21 point lead when he went out. I'll grant you that EWU had a fumble inside the 10 yard line. But to me they had no shot as long as Towson's starting QB was in unless Towson just did something like go into a complete turnover frenzy meltdown.

Except that we've had a tendency to shut down teams in the 2nd half all year.

And our back up also was very capable. Lots of talent for both teams, on both sides of the ball...

But SE isn't a douche for keeping a gif of a cheap shot as his avatar two months after the game?

That's only if you consider it a cheap shot, which I don't. Was a completely legal downfield block. You just don't like the fact that a 190 pound QB did it to a 230 LB. He deserved it, and more, BTW.

So again, why is Bronco a douche for posting a gif of the game winning play IN THE GAME THREAD?

Oh, and please do elaborate on why Tripp "deserved" it, other than the fact that he's better than any LB to ever play at Ewoo.

Yeah, he's good, and I hear Edmonton is lovely this time of year.

When you hold the CFL single season record for tackles it's probably fine...but I'm pretty sure he winters in Spokandiego.

I think EWU would have given the Bizon a better game

It appears that if you want to get under the Bizon posters skin mention the movie Fargo

The only reason I agree with that is that I suspect Towson's starting QB either won't play or won't be 100% whereas if EWU was playing NDSU they wouldn't have that kind of problem. If he's 100% I think Towson is clearly a better team than Eastern Washington is. I also think they match up better with NDSU because I think they're better overall on both lines of scrimmage even though EWU does have one really good player at defensive tackle. And I think being good on the line of scrimmage is very important when playing NDSU.

If by chance Towson's QB is 100% I think Towson will give NDSU all it wants and may win. I'm hoping he is so we can have a good game. But I'm not optimistic about it.

Towson poster on AGS said Athens wont play in the NC game.

I'm sure Tripp will be happy to send him a postcard from whichever NFL city he ends up in.

Hunka Vernon love had a bad day

I noticed he was sporting a new nose ring or diamond stud (what is it called...normally see young girls with them)
This



not this




anyways I think the extra weight threw him off on Saturday (balance or something) but having the extra week he would be back on track

Maybe he'll send one to DD too.

Hardly. Issues here come from people who assume Fargo is like that. I personally don't care.

EWU would have been a better matchup. They would have been the fastest or 2nd fastest team NDSU played all year and their scheme is totally different from most teams NDSU plays. Towson will have to out-NDSU. I think that's a bad proposition. Styles make fights.

We agree on something?

[CAA Flagship]

Here's my take FWIW:
The game was 60 minutes long. Take away 5 minutes or add 5 minutes and the outcome could be different.
What does that prove? That the two teams "played" fairly evenly, and it is difficult to determine which team is "better" from one contest.

Towson won with the scrambling of Frazier. He threw one great pass in the comeback over the middle that loosened the defense up for the scrambling. We have all seen how running QB's can have a huge impact on a game, especially if you don't specifically prepare for it.

I feel BF's pain when he bashes VA. The great Taylor Heinicke has made bad decisions at times. But it means they are human, and it is the reason that games are decided on the field rather than on paper.

What really bothers me about the lost yesterday is that Eastern was so much better than Towson.

Talk about butthurt.

Agree with the Kalmunist, that was very well said Flaggy.

[profisme]

There were a few things from the game Saturday that stood out to me. Terrence West is a tough runner and should get a shot in an NFL training camp when he finishes college. Vernon Adams is a very good quarterback who probably is too cocky for his own good. Andrew Pulu will definitely play in the NFL.

Cooper Kupp is the best player I have seen at this level since Vincent Jackson. The only bad play I saw him have this year was the costly fumble in the first quarter. As a Bobcat fan, I hope he leaves after his Jr. year because he is absolutely dominant. Vernon Adams is the luckiest beneficiary of his talents.

You didn't watch the semis, did you?

Kupp got smashed and had the ball stripped from him...then he dropped at least two easy passes. His soft azz was looking over his shoulder to protect himself from the big hits he was taking.

[YoUDeeMan]

Hey Clucky, when you're done you might want to go check the stats. We gained 580 yards on that "physical" CAA defense...100 more than Towson gained and it took them 55 carries to get their rushing yards. Btw, they had an impressive 4.4 ypr vs. EWU's 6.2 against a ...you know...manly CAA defense.

The better team won yesterday and the CAA is strong just like the Big Sky and the MVFC. Let me know when that Towson jock gets heavy for ya.

Towson put up over 300 yards in the first half...and their starting QB was hurt. EWU got their stats simply because Towson was in an adjustment period...otherwise, Towson would have simply kept rolling, their D would have been rested, and EWU would have gone home with their tails between their legs. As it is, the only thing that happened was that EWU fans got a false impression that their team was somewhere in Towson's league.

Oh, and Towson's TO was a gift as their QB was simply distracted while looking for his next easy target, whereas Kupp was manhandled and the ball was taken. Big difference.

After Towson adjusted, they bulldozed EWU's weak D. Watch the replay...EWU's defense knows who the better team was, by far.

So what was Towson's D doing while the O was "adjusting" and EWU rolled off 31 unanswered points? Taking a nap?

No, they were going through an adjustment period.
