Quote from: TheOC89 on Sep 19, 2025, 09:59 PMHA!!.... That was. Great Win!!... I said last week that I saw MD winning this game, for some reason they were just sleepwalking through the Fist 3 games until they finally woke up in the second half against Cen10....

This is going to make for a wild run up to the SSD1 playoffs...  If MD plays like they did tonight, I don't see anyone beating them.... SJB is the only team that has a chance....

That's a self-serving statement if there ever was one.

What exactly was the statement!

That we shouldn't be dismissed and we are not as bad as many people were saying this past week.

It's nice when a team has 35 D1 athletes and can make a statement!
Well done.

Definitely not sleeping on The Kaboom Squad after their dismantling of OLU, but this years OLU is not the same as the last 2 years, they lost all their talent.... So I am not ready to put SC in the MD/SJB National top 10 level.... The playoffs will tell the Story of SC this year, their schedule stinks...

Just like last year, everyone was all over MV and they were Bounced in their first playoff game by Cen10.... 🤣

Quote from: TheOC89 on Sep 19, 2025, 09:13 PMWhat a Dumb Ass Call by Lara!!!... How do you go for 2 right there???.... 🤣🤣


Come on Lara is ahead of all of us. Forward thinking right there. Sure, conventional wisdom says if you go up by 1 late go for 2 to make it a 3 point game or up by 5 go for 2 to make it touchdown to tie. But Laura was pulling a Don Shula, Bill Walsh way ahead of all of us. I mean, who says why go up by 4 late in the game, what if the Bishop gets a safety and then a field goal that's five points so let's get up by five points so in that situation the best they could do is tie us  😂😂.

My read on this is that Lara has MD do the swinging gate or 2 pt setup every time regardless of game circumstance and then leaves up to the players to execute when they get the right configuration. That may not be the case, but could explain why they did it in this circumstance. Obviously, always leaving it as an option on the table regardless of game circumstance is a bewildering coaching decision to put it lightly.

Yeah super weird thinking by Lara.Kicking the XP not only puts you up by 4 and forces BG to score a TD but it also keeps you within a FG if they do score a TD. Very strange thinking

Possibly? But if any coach is going to give his players that  discretion, you would think he would also at least have them coached up to do some basic arithmetic or at worst just tell them to "kick it". Coach Lara needs to talk to coach Logan who has  now mastered the art of the kicking game 😂

HA!!... Defiantly!!.... Can you imagine what would have happened if BG hit that FG to tie it or even worse, scored a TD and MD lost that game?..... Mater Dei would have left Lara on the Tarmac in Vegas.... 🤣

Really looking forward to DLS vs SDCC in 2 weeks!.... I will be at that one!.... Going to be a big test for Both teams.... A lot on the Line for DLS, if they lose this game it could knock them out of The Open game....

I hope you are right!.... 🤣

DLS top lineman why plays both ways got injured in the last game and didn't come back in, not sure if it was a precaution because they were so far ahead or if the injury is that bad....

Not sure about that.  Injuries may play a big part and DLS isn't very deep.  Lose 1 or 2 to injuries and that puts them in a tough situation.  And they just can't pass with any consistency at all.  Crap shoot.  They play hard on D so that gives them a chance.
