Lafayette at Fordham Game Thread

[Pard4Life]

This game is live on CBS Sports Network TV.

It's the "Cougars" vs. the Rams.

Please... kick their butts Pards.

[Pard4Life]

Pards are committing penalties despite stopping Rams on the first set.

And now a huge sack by Dorner!

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

[Pard4Life]

Third and 14 on the F 35... timeout Rams... play clock.

[Pard4Life]

YES big sack by Pards!!! Full on blitz ala the Reed treatment.

[Fordham]

Our DL is legit this year. Good start for Pards but I feel very confident right now

[Bogus Megapardus]

Good call by Fordham and CBS to put the cameras on the "other" side of the field.

[Pard4Life]

The "Cougars" quarterback is Blake "Searford."

Yeah, DL just stopped our drive at midfield... good play on that side of the field.

[Bogus Megapardus]

For "Law-foy-ette" you mean? xrolleyesx

[Fordham]

Schuerman (sp?), very good btw. All league

[Pard4Life]

YES! Personal foul keeps drive alive... roughing passer... so we are across the 50.

Scheuerman.

[Fordham]

Agreed. Makes a big difference

[Pard4Life]

Pards attempt flee-flicker, but Searford runs for 7.

[Pard4Life]

Hmm, timeout on third and 3. No back set. Coach probably saw the all out blitz coming. Good call.

[Lehigh'98]

I must be real slow...why is Reed out?

[Pard4Life]

Going for it!!!

YES!!! Down to the 13!

15 yard pass inflat!

I must be real slow...why is Reed out?

Shoulder last week... questionable this week so it doesn't seem bad

[Pard4Life]

Didn't like that series... why are we flushing to the short side?

- - - Updated - - -

Ok, we'll take it.... but we need TDs to beat these guys.

[Bogus Megapardus]

YES! Personal foul keeps drive alive... roughing passer... so we are across the 50.

Scheuerman.


Just call him The Scheuermanator.

[Pard4Life]

More good KO coverage.

[Pard4Life]

That flag was BS!!

[Fordham]

Awful call on your DB. I hate that

[Pard4Life]

Awesome... Ajala makes a play... then TD.

Oh wait wait! He kneeled and pointed to the sky in celebration!! FLAG FLAG!!

[Pard4Life]

Four plays.... well we stuffed them on the first two and then fell apart on the last two... metnal toughness???

[Bogus Megapardus]

Four plays.... well we stuffed them on the first two and then fell apart on the last two... metnal toughness???

Pards are going to need it for all 4 quarters.

[Pard4Life]

COME ON!!! ENOUGH WITH THE BS GUYS!!

WAKE THE F UP!!!

[Lehigh'98]

Damn, great play from Schuerman brought back. Killer

[Pard4Life]

We have 8 penalties. Some of these are mickey Mouse calls, per c2.

The pass interference call is still unexplained by CBS.

[Pard4Life]

We gave up three points, but it feels like we won something...

[Fordham]

I agree '94. Nice stop.

That said, I'm rarely optimistic, and mostly incredibly pessimistic. I don't think you can hang with us for four quarters today. Be drawn and quartered if so, but that's what I see so far

[Bogus Megapardus]

Penalties, penalties, penalties.

[Pard4Life]

Blake Serearfoss is doing good so far!

[Fordham]

That said, WITH Drew Reed, I'm not nearly as confident

[Pard4Life]

Flag! Guess!

A) Hold on Lafayette
B) Hold on Lafayette
C) Hold on Lafayette

[Bogus Megapardus]

Another penalty . . .

[Pard4Life]

That said, WITH Drew Reed, I'm not nearly as confident

Eh, Drew Reed last year vs. this year has been night and day.

Searfoss has looked identical to Reed.

[Pard4Life]

Whats the NCAA Record for penalties in a game??

[Bogus Megapardus]

Refs won't let us run our offense but Fordham is allowed to haul our DL down by the shirt.

[The Eagle's Cliff]

If you guys take a look on ESPN2, there's a high school football game between Norcross and N. Gwinnett with more people in attendance on a Friday night in North Georgia. NYC doesn't like football?

[Pard4Life]

This game is getting ugly.

And a real d!ck move by their coach.

This is absolutely unreal.

[Lehigh'98]

Fordham looking good. Was a heads up play by that kid to save onside kick.

Everyone enjoying CBS Sports' "It's All About About Fordham" Bowl?

"Lafayette stopped themselves on penalties" ....uh, yeah... and the BS by the referees.

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

I thought Lafayette would hang in a little better. Although, motivated talent looking for revenge is tough to deal with....

[Lehigh'98]

Umm . . . he knew it was coming?

I meant how he threw the ball back inbounds.

[Sader87]

Nobody in the PL is beating FU this year....

[Pard4Life]

Everyone enjoying CBS Sports' "It's All About About Fordham" Bowl?

Yeah, the Lafayette Cougars are not very interesting. It's not worth mentioning their end of season broadcast in Yankee Stadium with 48,000 people.

[Fordham]

This is absolutely unreal.

What was the dick move?

[Pard4Life]

And dealing with your own idiocy, BS penalties, and no calls does not help.

[Pard4Life]

What was the dick move?

Onsides kick when it's beyond clear we are dead in the water, with minimal offense and inability to stop your offense. They are on pace for 60. It was classless call.

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

31-3 Fordham just behalf....

Fordham might have having the most interesting profile this year in FCS score wise. Their game at Bucknell seems be their only potential stumbling block. Given the state of the PL this year I wonder how much respect a 11-1 Fordham team would get heading into the playoffs...

[RichH2]

P4L, simple really. Fordham is just that much better,regardless of refs. 60 vs 30 is the difference.

[Lehigh'98]

Onsides kick when it's beyond clear we are dead in the water, with minimal offense and inability to stop your offense. They are on pace for 60. It was classless call.

Man, enough with the crying... It was a 14 or game in the 2nd qtr against possibly your biggest test for league title. Well well within limits. You understand the concept of stepping on their throat and putting game away?

[Lehigh'98]

31-3 Fordham just behalf....

Not much. All they will remember is the Nova game

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

P4L, simple really. Fordham is just that much better,regardless of refs. 60 vs 30 is the difference.

I don't think scholarships are the end all be all. Lafayette might very well be headed towards another losing season. The 'Pards were a question mark after an odd 5-7 season last year. They've played 3 teams with a pulse this year and have failed all three times. Fordham is motivated bunch after last years debacle cost them a perfect a season.

We'll see how Fordham does in the playoffs before I weigh the value of 60 scholarships. It didn't help them against Villanova....

[Fordham]

Onsides kick when it's beyond clear we are dead in the water, with minimal offense and inability to stop your offense. They are on pace for 60. It was classless call.

Dude, at 17-3 you're full of it and being a whiny pansy. At 31-3 or in the second half, I'm with you. Grow a pair!!

[Pard4Life]

P4L, simple really. Fordham is just that much better,regardless of refs. 60 vs 30 is the difference.

Yes they are good but we were in this game, and certain calls did not help momentum. Fordham is good enough to capitalize quickly on mistakes and put you in a hole.

[Tribal]

Pard 4 Life, are you still blaming refs for everything? Geeze, the refs aren't out to get Lafayette. Fordham has nearly 400 yards of offense in the first half...THAT'S the issue here.

Would you want to fight rush-hour traffic on the GWB and CBE on a Friday and Jewish holiday?

Completely different. Different demographic. Different urban fabric. Please troll elsewhere. Thank you.

Really just trying to understand. I wonder the same thing about Stonybrook, Lehigh, UNH, Rhode Island, Maine, Albany, etc. All those people and all that money, but they don't support the college athletics in their backyard. I guess it's a Northeast thing, but I don't get it.

[Fordham]

Beautiful coverage by Ian Williams and they call a flag ("we couldn't see it on the replay", according to the announcer)

Jeezus, Pars94 would have been having a conniption in that if it was called on the Pards!

Yeah, it's somewhat complicated. I've noticed that outside of the NE, in more rural locations, you have more centralized communities with strong local identities. In the NE, everything is kind of one big suburb or city, or there is just simply "too much going on," and people don't really ascribe much to football. In the south and elsewhere, it's religion and everyone is raised with it... not so in the NE.

Plus, this is a bad game time. I'd have liked to go, but: Friday rush-hour in the Bronx, with the worst highway in America, on a Jewish holiday in a Jewish area... no thanks!

They're all counting their $$$ from carpet-bagging the defeated South instead of going to college football games.....

There's more DII, DIII and other small school college football in the northeast than you possible could imagine. Local alums support their own local schools PL schools do very well by comparison. Attendance usually is multiples of school enrollment - sometimes 4x or 5x. L-L#150 attendance actually will exceed the combined number of total living alums at both schools.

There are more football teams squeezed into the NE plus numerous pro teams. Local identity very different here than most everywhere else. Most of the NE is the suburb of one metropolis or another. Other than HS football , local support,other tham alumni is not a big factor. Perhaps a bigger issue is declining student attendance throughout college ball.

#RisingTribe

[Tribal]

#90 for Fordham is in beast mode.

#RisingTribe

[Pard4Life]

Yeah, Rich and Bogie, good points. Plus I get the feeling a lot people identify with college teams elsewhere even if they did not attend. Around here, it's more "your own school." And lets face it, all the living Lafayette alumni would fill 75% of Wrigley.

"Lafayette is the least penalized team in the Patriot League." - CBS



#RisingTribe

You mean the Lafayette Cougars?

Quarterbacked by Blake Searford. And by Blake Serearfoss. Or is it London Searfoss (swear I actually heard that after half)

I don't buy it. We are a joke with penalties. See the SHU game. I think vs. Wagner we only had three, Tribe we had a bunch

[Pard4Life]

I disagree with CBS analysis on Fordham's tempo. If we hit a wall or something "negative" happens, we break fast. Always happens to us, no matter the year. That's what happened here. But you have to be a good team to capitalize.

[Pard4Life]

10 penalties.

[DFW HOYA]

Attendance usually is multiples of school enrollment - sometimes 4x or 5x.

If that were the case, Georgetown would be drawing 30,000 a game.

There's a different discussion out there about urban vs. rural attendance, but it comes down to walk-up business. No one walked up to the Bronx tonight.

No, not at 17-3. Not at all. You're bitching the way someone would if up by 40 in the fourth quarter imo. Calling it classless when done up by 14 in the second quarter is worthy of ridicule imo.


btw, separately, both teams have been penalized for excessive celebration and both were absurd imo

[Pard4Life]

These announcers are really moronic. "First mistake by Searfoss." That INT is not on Searfoss. It was a nice ball. Also, they called the tackle at the F 10 Blake's first mistake.

It was anticipated the game would likely get like this, but the CBS guys a really making this unwatchable.

[RichH2]

Well I am looking it from Lafayette POV. You go up by 14, yes, we are dead. With the way this was going, we were dead. Everyone else, up by 14 is nothing.

It was actually a bad move for you because the onside kick cost you field position. xlolx

[RichH2]

Yeah, it's not like the Yankees (or Mets) were playing playoff games or something.

Speaking of baseball playoff games, I attended the Giants/Nationals playoff game (seeing the Nationals lose at home in person in the playoffs - that's Natitude) and then did some work at the office (located within walking distance of Nationals Park) after the game. Just from looking at the final score it looks like I was better off missing the game on TV.

Misleading stat....only about 8,000 are enrolled at Bronx campus...probably like 6,500 live there and don't commute. Terrible student support nonetheless, but it's not quite as bad as you're painting it out to be.

[Fordhamanhattan]

Couple of comments on the game last night. Very good student footprint until 2nd half. They were loud and fun until they sensed it was over. Lower than normal Fordham alumni/fan footprint and Spotted fan footprint. (6:30 Friday start in NY on Yom Kippur). I drove from Manhattan starting at 4P.M. rolled through the gates of the stunning and historic Rose Hill campus at 5 P.M. so an hour for a 15 mile drive and I was pleased. Fordham defense with Brett Biestek(father an Amhearst player and uncle outstanding BC player), Ian Williams, safeties Jake Dixon and Levon Wms, the special Justin Yancey et al is to be reckoned with. The punter is top grade and so is Mr Marando with the kicking. Then there is the offensive weapons. My favorite is number 24, Brian Wetzel

Biestek was having his way with Lafayette's right tackle all game, IMO.

Whole DLine (Yancey/Slate in addition to Biestek) were running wild last night. Just a bunch of talent in that unit. Hopefully they can keep it up.

agreed FordhamFan. Just wish Adeyeye wasn't lost for the season and I'm not sure what the status' are on Washington and Klecko but if any of those come back to give us depth, our DL will really be the strength of the D, which is a complete reversal from last year imo.

From what I was told it was a bogus penalty.... a pick was set away from the play.

Whoever told you it was bogus doesn't know what he is talking about. I have it on tape and your #17 picked our LB Pickney (#14) who was responsible for covering Schuermann coming out of backfield. Refs missed a lot on Friday but not this one
