I'm giving TVR moral support in a thread that could become an echo chamber! Question: will there be more posts on this thread, or more butts in the seats in Lewisburg?xsmiley_wix

[TheValleyRaider]

xlolx

Well, I was hoping this thread would draw out some of our Bison brethren here on the board (those not at the game, of course), though since bouncy-ball is now officially underway, that might be a bigger lost cause than getting the Ivies into the playoffs xsmiley_wix

['Gate93]

Why is the 'Gate radio broadcast always delayed?! The video sound is awful

[TheValleyRaider]

Bucknell driving, now deep in Colgate territory, takes too much time on the play selection and has to burn their 1st TimeOut

13-0 Colgate
2:45 1st

[TheValleyRaider]

Halftime

[TheValleyRaider]

Hard to be too disappointed with the half. We made some big plays when necessary, kept the Bison out of the end zone, and haven't made any foolish mistakes

Special teams remains a sore spot, partcularly the PATs. Two blocks, and at least on the second one, the Bison just blew through our line for it. Not particularly thrilled, but right now I see nothing that suggests the Bison will be able to mount a comeback

[TheValleyRaider]

Getting set for the 2nd half

Bucknell will kickoff. The kick is an onside attempt and the Bison recover at the 41! 1st and 10 Bison

Colgate 19
Bucknell 0
Start 3rd

['Gate93]

Bucknell doing a decent job of running the clock like we do and keeping Sullivan & Eachus off the board. Thought our stats would have been higher at the half.

[TheValleyRaider]

Bucknell crosses midfield, but not much further. The Bison punt, and the kick sails into the end zone for a touchback. 1st and 10 Raiders

19-0 Colgate

Some confusion on the Raider offense, they take their 1st TimeOut

19-0 Colgate
5:08 3rd
