I don't think we can rightfully expect the lads to hold all four remaining opponents to one TD. We might win one more that way, but if we are hoping for a 4 win season, we're gonna have to score more than 20 pts.<br /><br />Thoughts?Chen1982https://www.blogger.com/profile/13329847325317246623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-10076274523194377742016-10-24T07:03:00.947-07:002016-10-24T07:03:00.947-07:00Further on Teevens, one of the classiest guys in t...Further on Teevens, one of the classiest guys in the league. Compare him to the absence of class shown by Penn in throwing for a meaningless score against us with two minutes left instead of running out the clock.

At one point, you didn't have to look at the sports pages to get the results, the latest loss in the record losing streak was announced on Saturday night national news. Regarding the Dartmouth game, a win is a win. It wouldn't have happened two or three years ago. I finally have confidence that the program is headed in <br />the right direction.

We supposedly have a real coach and AD now. AD Pilling should be in the Ivy or ECAC office (whichever hires the officials) on Monday morning demanding the scalps of these crooks every time it happens. Perhaps we'd see a sudden upsurge of honesty.Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13262200931191143947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-54659272128284048792016-10-23T07:53:29.802-07:002016-10-23T07:53:29.802-07:00P.S.

Just before our DB stumbled the D receiver gave him a little shove which threw him off stride. I also think it was worth mentioning that Wainwright made a phenomenal effort by laying out in the end zone for a pass that was just a little too long for him to haul in. oldlionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242868168620796807noreply@blogger.com
