2017 Conference Semi Final Discussion

[tarcone]

wow!
good game Tarc.

I was really impressed with Sanford today. Penalties hurt you. That fumble late in the 3rd hurt you also.
Sitch was awesome today. His first 5 carries had 125yds I think. He broke long runs as my fav young OL Norman Enright's name was called again and again. He was awesome today.
I think had we not been up early, this game would've been much different. Burger was under pressure all day which caused sacks and 2 INTs.

Gotta admit, I'm pretty happy right now. Been a long time since I've won a meaningfull playoff game. WHOO HOOOO


again, good game Tarc. I knew I had to run effectively to beat you. I had the luck today

Yeah. We didnt play like champions today. You pretty much owned us. I wasnt ever in the game. Missed FGs, dumb penalties, bad turnovers. Your defense dominated. Your run game was awesome. By the looks of it, my defensive game plan seemed to be "Let Jamison try and tire himself out."

GG Matt and good luck.

Time to take down the Reigning Champs banner.

Good thing I don't bet cause I was all wrong haha. Grats to the conference contenders. Look like Penn learned from my mistake and just played his game running up 44 on Texas. Matt must be crying as he finally advances a step closer to the big dance.

While he's been hiding, lets not count out the playoff experience of Murfreesboro. These are going to be interesting games.

much respect man.
I just got lucky enough to have the regular season game in Newark. that was the deciding factor in us getting the home game against you.

You are still the defending champs until a new one is crowned!

[Matt]

congrats C Rex.
The Firebirds with the W in their first playoff game in 11 years!

[Matt]

wow.
the Mules with a huge upset. A lot of injuries though too.

tough break

[Matt]

Them damn Lions were really good. To beat a team like Texas was amazing.

I cannot wait for the game cy. looking forward to revenge for our playoff game last year.

I still have nightmares of my game against Penn.
They literally passed at will.
Into triple coverage.
To receivers that were deceased.
And completed passes as though I wasn't even on the field.

Can't wait for this game too. It should be a good one. I wouldn't be confident if it was in Newark so I'm happy we won this field advantage.

The Texas game was closer than the score indicates. They were on fire so beating them is a real good sign. Come on Hamilton, finish this career with a Bowl win. Or maybe 2 if you want.

[tarcone]

I think Hamilton should be banned from the league.

[Matt]

I agree!
the only guy who likes gene hamilton is the guy who's team he is on.

Home field has been the biggest factor in the NC playoffs this season. I really dont see that changing. As good as Newark is, they dont have a chance against Pennsylvania in Pennsylvania.

If Newark had gotten the #1, i would be saying the same thing. But would insert Newark for Pennsylvania.

agree

BUT
i must believe that we can do this . we will be preaching "the upset"
Pennsylvania did me me in my house last year in the playoffs.
We will return the favor on thursday!

Great game by Hamilton and Co. today cause our D wasn't able to stop em for the first 3 quarters. Entering the 4th quarter, Chung was 21 for 26 and they had 7.4 yards a carry. Turnovers and penalties were the difference in this one.

GG Tim

Great game Cy. Cant stop that offense. Hamilton was fantastic. GL the rest of the way and congrats to the other winners.
