FORDHAM RANKED NUMBER 4? RIDICULOUS!

[SingForever]

THEY WILL BE ELIMINATED IN THEIR FIRST PLAYOFF GAME. tHEY SHOULD BE RANKED ABOUT 15TH NOW.

Based on what, the fact that they did NOT get blown out 48-10 by Bucknell?

[JoltinJoe]

Fordham proved its mettle today. The Rams won without Nebrich, Tebucky Jones, and played a great defensive game. Great teams win when faced with adversity and injuries -- with others stepping up and making huge plays when they have to.

This was Fordham's best win of the season. Any coach knows when your best players go down, a great team still steps up and gets the job done; a good team makes excuses.

Anyone who would drop Fordham in their poll after today's game has never played any sport competitively.

FU won when their back was against the wall against a decent team. Rams have nothing to apologize for.....

[Sader87]

Towson would/will smoke Fordham...just sayin'

[Go...gate]

10-0 against that schedule is championship-caliber work.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

They are the first Patriot team worthy of a top 10 rank in years.

[Go...gate]

Towson would/will smoke Fordham...just sayin'

Not so sure.

[JoltinJoe]

Not so sure.

Agreed about that.

[Neighbor2]

Oh, I know. It's just that Lehigh posters generally have more class than to do that tired NDSU thang.

[UNHWildcat18]

So Fordham who beat nova who beat Towson would get stomped by Towson? Idk about that, but I'm not gonna say where they deserved to be ranked, playoffs will shut everyone up and it's the only thing that matters.

WTF are you talking about?xconfusedx

[NoDak 4 Ever]

WTF are you talking about?xconfusedx

Lehigh guys just like to lash out at us.

[RichH2]

Rather asinine thread. FU lost their QB and BU has an excellent D. Ridiculous premise for the claim.

[Neighbor2]

For the most part, Patriot League teams seem to 'play up' during the First Round. I'd say, a Fordham at home will be a challenge for any FCS team.

[Fordham]

THEY WILL BE ELIMINATED IN THEIR FIRST PLAYOFF GAME. tHEY SHOULD BE RANKED ABOUT 15TH NOW.
Wow, we lose one of the top players in FCS and grit out a victory against a team that crushed the snot of your squad and you come on and ridicule us?

Lehigh fans are like school on Saturdays (the exception being TUowl who i owe an apology to for ripping him in the past. He's been as fair to us as anyone).

Surprised at the vitriol from sader as well. Not just here but more so on the Fordham board. True colors.

[Neighbor2]

Relax, Alice.

Sometimes Bison can be bullies. No one really like bullies. 26?

[RichH2]

Not really.You're getting lumped in with some persistent NDSU trolls. Most NDSU posters are wothy posters,just a few jerks.

Please dont lump us all together with this guy's moronic post.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Well, there's five minutes of my life I won't get back.

[Sader87]

It might be "smack" but I think it is true and I said so as well when FU was ranked #3 last week in the AGS poll with Nebrich playing.

Fordham is having a great season but there's no way in hell that they are the 3rd or 4th best FCS team in the country right now. They have a fabuous offense but no way near the "complete" team to be considered a Top 5 team this year.

As our website is titled "AGS" ....but there are about 10-15 teams I'd take before Fordham in a head to head playoff game.

I do question how much FCS football you watch on a national level because Fordham is damn good. Outside of NDSU, it's a bit of a coin-flip. With a healthy Nebrich the Rams have a lot of EWU in them. This team is capable of advancing pretty far if the match up is right. They remind a little of LU in 2011. LU might have had a little better D, maybe.....

Let a little more line out I still hear your motor

Please...you actually still think Lehigh is "good" this year.

I haven't seen a lot of Big Sky, Missouri Valley etc football this year but in a "one-game" match-up I'd still take a number of CAA teams (and yes, I know you beat UNH this year) against Fordham or Lehigh or Colgate in this year's playoffs.

[Engineer86]

See ND4's first post in this thread. It is obvious.

I will take your apology too

Reading is fundamental! Where did he say Lehigh is good this year. He said 2011!

[Lehigh'98]

After NDSU, there is a dropoff to the next best teams. Until they are knocked off, that is just the way it is. EIU, Maine, EWU, SHSU, SELA, McNeese, Fordham, YSU are all very, very good teams when healthy but I don't see any of them knocking off NDSU in the playoffs at home. (YSU probably has the best shot at the Ice Castle next week)

[dystopiamembrane]

My AGS poll submission had them 11th last week.

[Vooter]

THEY WILL BE ELIMINATED IN THEIR FIRST PLAYOFF GAME. tHEY SHOULD BE RANKED ABOUT 15TH NOW.

10-0

[FordhamFan]

Nebrich is probably gonna be out for the year with another ACL tear...such a shame. This team is playing with house money without him. Any playoff wins would be awesome, hopefully they can rally and surprise some people. But without Nebrich, a top 5 player in the country and a real leader and presence on offense, Fordham is so vulnerable.

I'm very depressed about this. Really thought the Rams could have made a run this year. Now it's doubtful at best.

Great win today though. I dare any team to lose it's best player in the first quarter and grind out a win like that. Can't knock the team for this game. Going forward I'll be very interested to see what goes on with this team. Just a completely different team without Neebs

[Go...gate]

10-0

Exactly.

[kdinva]

gutty win for the Rams........and the Bucknell Bison will give VMI all they want in 14 days.......

Ugh...what a total drag...well, here's hopin' that Peter Maetzold can pull a Jeff Hostetler...run whatcha brung, and hope you brung enough...

[Lehigh'98]

That's terrible news if true. Good luck Rams!!

[UIWWildthing]

Towson would/will smoke Fordham...just sayin'
I don't know about that. Towson has had a way of giving away games this year.

[JoltinJoe]

Have they done an MRI already on Nebrich's knee? Seems unlikely. You're supposed to have no food or drink for six hours before an MRI.

Your team can't win EVEN WITH your best player on the field. See Pujols go down and I wonder how much you'd be getting crushed by? We gutted this out today. Very proud of the squad.

Our ceiling is much lower without Nebrich but I'm hoping he will be back since I haven't heard anything else.

Boo Saders! Honestly expected better from you

Hey if you want to be considered "big-time" you have to take these shots.

Nothing personal against FU, have many friends/family who are FU alums, I just didn't think they were that strong of a team from what I saw.

Do you really think many of the other Top 10 teams would have beaten both HC and Bucknell by 2 points at home in successive weeks???

All that said, hoping Nebrich is back for the play-offs at least.

That is too bad he is a real talent.

[FordhamFan]

I agree but where did you hear that about Nebrich?

I'm a recent grad and have a mutual friend that spoke to him. He said he felt it on a cut. The rest is me inferring. Things rarely end up well when you get hurt on no contact.

[SingForever]

Sorry to hear about Nebrich. He is an awesome talent. I did not mean to infer that Fordham was not good - just not top 10 level.

[FordhamFan]

Nah I feel you. They are definitely not playing to the level their ranking would make you think. That being said, they are still undefeated and if they finish their season that way, they will deserve a high seed. Playoffs will then tell us everything we need to know.

Things change when you become the hunted. You're every teams super bowl and there's pressure. Fordham has done what they need to which is win...

Lehigh has dealt with this for the better part of three years. Winning simply isn't good enough for some people....

[RichH2]

What a shame, if correct. If so.hope the young man heals well and comes back mext year even better.

[gotts]

You know what the best part of winning "ugly" is?

The part WHERE YOU DIDN'T LOSE!!!

Fully agree with you. Nebrich is a future NFL QB. To lose a player of his quality and still put up the yards says a lot. Bucknell is not the same 'doormat' seen earlier without Wesley at QB.

[Pards Rule]

Oh damn. Thats a shock! Was really interested in how far the Rams could go this year and Nebrich was on his game this year!! We play the Rams on Saturday. Don't think I could take a "Bucknell" finish!
