My point is that it wasn't insane because getting a play off was not possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowdyZip Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Good to see whiner found something to whine about. Probably won't win by enough when we win the CFP in a few years. He'll whine about margin of victory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just so happy because this was the first game this year where we got a result that was really unexpected, and it was in our favor. Sitting all alone at the top of the standings is pretty unexpected too. I'll enjoy this for a week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But allowing 13 points from a team that scores 41 per game, and winning only scoring 14 against that team, isn't something anyone here could have predicted.

I certainly did not foresee the D holding them to 13. The defensive staff deserves a lot of credit for having the kids ready to play and they sure did show a lot of heart. The stats were not pretty but stats are for losers. Hooray for Coach Amato and staff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 If you can't match them strength for strength, you make the game ugly, play gritty, and hope for a few bounces your way. That's basic strategy for winning against teams with more natural talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Adams Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 OMG! Maybe the Zips have to lobby the MAC to have games played on 'the day of rest'. JUST KIDDING! Knock me over with a feather! This is definitely a signature win for Bowden!. Now just win the East! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsoutsider Posted October 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) Listening to the post-game show on WARF, they made it sound like TB could have said the team could not stay until Sunday but that TB was adamant that he wanted to play this game. Hat's off to everyone who made it possible for the team to stay and pull of this major win. There had to be a ton of logistics that made this possible.

No way was this game getting cancelled. There is no way to make it up. You are such a drama queen for this dude trying to make it sound like he did something special to stay and play this game.

It's not like this was a lightning delay only...the whole darn field flooded! And there was a chance of storms today. It would be chalked up as a "non-played" game and both teams would simply have 11 games that season. It's not that hard to understand. It absolutely kills you to hear anything good about Bowden.

Western had just as much stake in playing this game as we did. 3rd..What on earth are you even talking about?? What does this have to do with Bowden?

But since you brought it up, could you please enlighten us as to the protocol by which decisions about game cancellations proceed and what Terry Bowden’s role in said protocol is.
