After the Lions squandered a super chance with a possession
that began at the Marist 28, the Red Fox offense predictably woke up when it
began its ensuing possession on its own 20.
A ten-play drive, mostly passes, gave Marist a TD and all it
needed was a PAT to tie the game at 10.
Then junior defensive lineman Wells Childress came in to
save the day.
Childress got his hand on the extra point attempt and it
flip flopped short of the cross bar.
The lead, and what would eventually turn out to be the game,
was preserved.

Can someone explain this to me ? ... The Natl. Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame inducts football players from all divisions into the NFF Hampshire Honor Society .... the requirements are:
• Being a starter or a significant substitute in one's last year of eligibility at an accredited NCAA FBS, FCS, Division II, Division III, or an NAIA college or university;
• Achieving a 3.2 cumulative grade point average throughout entire course of undergraduate study; and
• Meeting all NCAA-mandated progress towards degree requirements and graduation.
Penn and Cornell did not have a single player on the list posted on the Ivy League Sports website ... are their athletes really that stupid or what am I missing ??? OK, a little overstatement ... can someone explain ???

Regarding Childress, I think that he has the physical tools to step up his game and have a great,senior season, but I do not understand why he is playing inside rather than on the edge. He looks like more of a stand up DE to me in a four man front, playing on the strong side.
Red Tiger's comment brings up a point I had not thought about. Is there something else besides GPA that could be disqualifying Penn's and Cornell's players?
Red Tiger: So I asked around and I got some good plausible answers about Penn and Cornell and academic accolades.
The process for getting honored resides with the athletic dept. staffers who A) have to know who is eligible and get that info from the coaches and B) have to be organized and diligent enough to fill out all the paperwork in time.
In Cornell's case, my source points out that the coaching change there probably doomed their candidates.
As for Penn, who knows?
