Lafayette at Colgate

[Pard4Life]

The game is on ESPN3:

[carney2]

Whaddya bet - the 13th consecutive year of matador defense by Bozo the Coach and the defensive portion of "as good a staff as you're going to get anywhere?" The only problem that the Raiders might have will be from slipping from the wet spots on the floor caused by the coaching staff salivating at seeing Lafayette pop up on the schedule. The Colgate offense meets more resistance going into a stiff wind at practice than they will get from the Lafayette annual roll over and die defense.

FIRE TAVANI!!!!!

[Pard4Life]

Ouch... I think you should save the bourbon until after the game carney.

Let's see what happens....

[Lafalumni29]

At least it's snowing. I been there in cold rain and that's nothing short of torture!!!

[Pard4Life]

ZZ is indeed starting at QB.

Maybe 150 fans on the Colgate side.

[Lafalumni29]

There we go.....trying to run what Colgate runs best. I think their defense has learned to defend that play.

[Pard4Life]

7-0. Here we go...

[carney2]

So far, Colgate's maligned D has found an o (intentional lower case) that it can handle.

[carney2]

The rout is on.

FIRE JOHN LOOSE!!!!!

[Pard4Life]

14-0. Break out the bourbon. Joseph says LC D is "not playing defense."

[carney2]

And, Lafayette has yet to register a first down.

[van]

Colgate found some D?

[Lafalumni29]

The rout is on.

FIRE JOHN LOOSE!!!!!

The O could help with a first down. :/

[carney2]

One decent run and a sack of crap. Very soon to be an insurmountable 21-0.

[Gater]

Colgate looks really sharp at this point. McCarney is really tough to stop.

[Lafalumni29]

Colgate looks really sharp at this point. McCarney is really tough to stop.

CU is getting a lot of help from our terrible offense . The final will be 59-7 at this pace.

[carney2]

That's 3 Colgate possessions = 3 TDs. Franks Tanks defends John Loose as the best coach we have. Show me something, John. From here it looks like you're just another guy taking up space in Bourger.

[Franks Tanks]

This is pathetic. We should just get back on the damm bus right now instead of risking injuries. The game is over. If we had an AD with a brain or balls it would be the end of the Frank T era as well.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

That Colgate is moving at will against Lafayette's "D" is not giving me a heap of confidence for next week.

[Franks Tanks]

I still believe that Carney, but that is like being the world's tallest midget. Our offense is just terrible. We don't see to have a plan, and ZZ in not accurate at all.

[Franks Tanks]

That Colgate is moving at will against Lafayette's "D" is not giving me a heap of confidence for next week.

Especially considering what you guys are doing against Cross, who was probably the worst team we faced this year (sorry Sader).

[Pard4Life]

Well... in 2007, we were up on Gate 21-3 and lost 35-28...

he he ho ho ha ha.. I crack myself up.

[Go...gate]

Nice to see Colgate get out fast, but what's with Lafayette? They have a better club than this.

[Franks Tanks]

Stop the zone read. Either teach the kids to run it correctly or stop calling the play.

[Franks Tanks]

Who know.

Nice throw by ZZ. Hopefully this is what we will see from him in the future.

[Lafalumni29]

Stop the zone read. Either teach the kids to run it correctly or stop calling the play.

Amen!!!

[Gater]

Colgate 21 Lafayette 7. Nice pass for a Lafayette TD.

[Pard4Life]

Is it me or do our plays seem to be developing faster with ZZ?

[Pard4Life]

Nice to see Colgate get out fast, but what's with Lafayette? They have a better club than this.

As I've said elsewhere, we lost a game we shouldn't have, it breaks our spirit, and we don't show up the next. Typical LC.

[Go...gate]

Looks like the Leopards are pulling themselves together.

[Gater]

28-7 Colgate. Colgate has 291 yards of total offense on first four possessions.

[Gater]

Lafayette comes right back to make it 28-13. Missed extra point but it seems to be a ballgame.

[Franks Tanks]

Great run by Ross, but we missed the xtra point (not that it will matter). ZZ seems to be making some good reads.

[Lafalumni29]

Is it me or do our plays seem to be developing faster with ZZ?

Correct and it's probably the reason he's playing over Shoop. Coachable vs talent. Tough choice.

[Franks Tanks]

Colgate may re-write their record books today. Unless of course they get up so big that the starters get pulled.

[Pard4Life]

Joe Buck says: "CAN YOU COUNT TO 70?!"

[Lafalumni29]

It's pretty clear that Mcarney is going to beat us, not McCord. Forget Trying to read who has the ball and just tackle him!!!

[Franks Tanks]

Wow Colgate's D really does stink. Our offense is moving the ball better than any other game all year. Too bad our D is still back in Easton.

[Pard4Life]

Lafayette comes right back to make it 28-13. Missed extra point but it seems to be a ballgame.

Sounds like irrational exuberance to me.

[Pard4Life]

We scored with too much time left. Gate scores, then again to start the half.

[carney2]

Heluva time to start trading touchdowns.

[Lafalumni29]

Wow Colgate's D really does stink. Our offense is moving the ball better than any other game all year. Too bad our D is still back in Easton.

That or is ZZ really the answer?

[Gater]

34-20. First team to 60 wins.

[Franks Tanks]

That or is ZZ really the answer?

He is playing well. Good decision making, and makes his reads quickly. With Shoop he is always under pressure bacuse he can't decide what to do. ZZ either gets rid of the ball or runs quickly. I like what I see so far.

[carney2]

Not one defensive stop in the first half. Not one!

[Franks Tanks]

Well only got 3 that time! Unless we strat forcing a bunch of turnovers Colgate will get 60.

[Pard4Life]

Well only got 3 that time! Unless we strat forcing a bunch of turnovers Colgate will get 60.

No... 70.

[Gater]

Colgate with 413 yards of total offense. Lafayette with 272. Colgate gets the ball first in second half and will need to keep scoring.

[Go...gate]

37 - 20 Colgate, Halftime.

[Pard4Life]

Yards:
Gate: 413
LC: 272

[Gater]

Eight touchdowns and a field goal. Neither team has a drive of over 8 plays.

[Gater]

Holy Cross 35. Lehigh 23.

[carney2]

For those mindless dreamers who think there's still time, no stop on this possession and this one's over.

[Gater]

Wagner 27 Albany 0. 3rd Quarter.

[Pard4Life]

Wagner 27 Albany 0. 3rd Quarter.

Wow... and who got hit with the storm?

[Go...gate]

Colgate now leads 44 - 20.

[Gater]

44-26. Prayers go out to Colgate LB Pat Friel who was taken off the field on a backboard.

[Pard4Life]

Can we onsides kick it from now on? Like Joseph said...

[Gater]

51-34

McCarney has 258 yards rushing. Colgate all-time record is 291. 21 Minutes left in game.

First team to 70 wins.

[Franks Tanks]

Can we onsides kick it from now on? Like Joseph said...

Wouldn't be a bad idea would it?

Another nasty injury, lets hope both of the young men are ok.


I also really like what we are doing on offense. It is completely different than what we run with Shoop in there. Instead of the shotgun and 2 point stances we have ZZ under center. The RB's are taking handoffs and running downhill. ZZ is using his legs throwing to the TE!

[Gater]

I am watching Colgate's feed. They aren't saying anything about the player down. ESPN3 feed saying anything?

[Pard4Life]

this is awful... Dion King looks bad...

[Franks Tanks]

this is awful... Dion King looks bad...

I believe his legs have movement, but it look quite serious. Very sad to see this twice in one game.

[Gater]

Thanks for the info. There is a small hospital right next to the stadium. Hopefully, that's all they need. Prayers go out for both players.

[Pard4Life]

Don't want to point fingers exactly, but it looked like Dion was pushed by 30 into the players on the ground.

[Franks Tanks]

D is showing some life here, but too little too late.

[Franks Tanks]

Int Black. Maybe we can make this interesting after all. I though we could do this all game-- get some ints. Oh well.

[Gater]

It is for sure not too little too late. Colgate got conservative on offense and needs D to step up.

[Go...gate]

Any word on those kids who were hurt?

[Gater]

Funny to hear the Colgate announcer saying Colgate is clinging to a 17 point lead with Lafayette having the ball 3-10 at the 50 but that's how every Colgate game feels.

[Gater]

Nothing on the Colgate feed about the guys who were hurt.

[Franks Tanks]

It is for sure not too little too late. Colgate got conservative on offense and needs D to step up.

The one thing Lafayette has done well all year is pick off passes, we actually lead the nation. Until that last drive Gate hasn't really been in any 3rd and longs. We need a score here to make any headway.

[Gater]

There was very little said about either injury on the Colgate feed. I think the ESPN3 guys would have more info.

[Gater]

51-41. 13 minutes left. It's anybody's game.

[Franks Tanks]

There was very little said about either injury on the Colgate feed. I think the ESPN3 guys would have more info.

No update as of yet on the Lafayette broadcast.

TD Lafayette! Do we go for the onside kick? I don't think we can stop gate 2 drives in a row.

The offense is palying much better today. Too bad we just got steamrolled on D at times in the 1st half.

[Lafalumni29]

Helluva TD catch by Mark Ross!!!

[carney2]

If Mark Ross isn't the best receiver in the Patriot League, someone isn't paying attention. 51-41, Colgate in the 4th. Time for at least 8 more scores the way this one's going.

[Lafalumni29]

I'll be the first to eat my words if ZZ can pull this out.

[Franks Tanks]

I'll be the first to eat my words if ZZ can pull this out.

The young man is doing a very good job today. The D needs to give us SOMETHING (another turnover won't hurt).

[Franks Tanks]

Nevermind-- we have no interest in playing defense

[Pard4Life]

Third and four... TD. Seriously!!! It was pass all the way!! Stop somebody!

And how the hell does Lehigh barely win again?

[Lafalumni29]

Either way...I take my criticism back. I like the way he's handle himself today.

[Sader87]

Scholarships are coming in at just the right time imo....the league is kind of turning into a circus in the sense that the offenses are so much better than the defenses overall.

[Go...gate]

58 - 41, Colgate. Unbelievable.

[Pard4Life]

That's all she wrote.

[carney2]

Either way...I take my criticism back. I like the way he's handle himself today.

Barring injury, we've seen the end of the Shoop era.

[Gater]

Not your day if you are a fan of punting.

[Gater]

65-41. 11 minutes left.

[Pard4Life]

Aw man, I love punting!

[Franks Tanks]

58 - 41, Colgate. Unbelievable.

Gate now has 65. I think we stoped Gate once all day, on that one Int by Shane Black.

[Gater]

Pard4Life is obviously not a Colgate man.

[Sader87]

OK....this game has officially turned into a joke....

[Franks Tanks]

Most points given up by a Lafayette team in many years, at least in the Frank T area.

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

Most points given up by a Lafayette team in many years, at least in the Frank T area.

Gave up 63 to HC in '01 so that was the only 60+ point game prior to today....

[Franks Tanks]

Gave up 63 to HC in '01....

Gate has 65

[hawkineer]

What our the odds the two basketball games this winter between these two teams see this amount of points?

[Franks Tanks]

ZZ int in the endzone. Forced it in there but who can blame him?

[Remise]

Finally Colgate's defense shows up, with a fumble recovery and then an end zone interception. Timely, if tardy!

[Pard4Life]

Most points given up by a Lafayette team in many years, at least in the Frank T area.

Off the top of my head, it's the most points since maybe a 77-0 loss to Lehigh in 1917.

[hawkineer]

65-41 and the starting backfield for Colgate is still in the game.xthumbsdownx Karma please.

[Franks Tanks]

65-41 and the starting backfield for Colgate is still in the game.xthumbsdownx Karma please.

Dick B always does that

[Go...gate]

Hell of a long time since we scored 65....

[Pard4Life]

Typical jackass Biddle... trying to run it up.

[Go...gate]

Game over. Final Colgate 65, Lafayette 41.

[van]

Off the top of my head, it's the most points since maybe a 77-0 loss to Lehigh in 1917.

Off the top of your head? You remember 1917?

[Pard4Life]

Off the top of your head? You remember 1917?

Yes, rough year. Spent the game over there in a trench... got word of the score via the wire in Paris. Got gassed two days later... Lehigh score was worse feeling.

[DFW HOYA]

Colgate's offense has run up the numbers against a lot of teams this year. If it can put up 50 on the Engineers, they deserve the bid.

[Pard4Life]

Off the top of your head? You remember 1917?

No seriously I remember arcane dates and numbers very well.

[Pard4Life]

Off the top of your head? You remember 1917?

Well I wasn't off by much... most points given up since a 66-0 loss to Chuck Bednarik led Penn in 1946. Before that, it was a 67-0 loss to Penn in 1935, and then the 78-0 loss to Lehigh in 1917. We lost to Holy Cross 63-53 in 2001. Either way, it's up there...

[Gater]

Any word on how injured Lafayette player is doing? Colgate's board is saying Colgate's hurt player Friel has some sensation in his hands and feet.

[Pard4Life]

No word... what you are reporting is the same we heard on the LC TV feed... I suspect our columnist Paul Reinhard will let us know soon.

[Go...gate]

Typical jackass Biddle... trying to run it up.

Not really. We have no defense.

[Pard4Life]

Not really. We have no defense.

When you are up by 24 with two minutes to go... you are going to win. It's not basketball...

[Engineer86]

Not really. We have no defense.

If you have no defense, did you at least sub in on the defensive side of the ball?

[GateRaider63]

I've got confirmation that Patrick Friel is okay and walking.

Did not hear anything on Dion King. -Edit- Radio Free Hamilton article says that King was also released from the hospital.

[ngineer]

What our the odds the two basketball games this winter between these two teams see this amount of points?



+1 Agreed!

[Gater]

Colgate sports information has said that both players had been released from the hospital. Great news.
