Colorado School of Mines Vs. Harding University. - Championship Chatter.

[KleShreen]

I thought the same against GV and UCM. If Harding doesn't get to the QB, the back end is very meh.

The strength of the harding pass D is the fantastic pass rush from that awesome dline. Your comment actually makes me wonder if you've seen Harding play at all.

Kutztown got pretty regular pressure on Matocha today, so I would be surprised if Harding doesn't get at least as much.

I like seeing new posters get their underwear twisted by an objective comment about their team.

My feelings aren’t hurt in the least and yes no doubt the strength of our defense is front 7 esp Dline. But to claim that our back 4 are a weakness when u have admittedly seen 2 games is simply incorrect. Just because they are not the strength of our team does not mean they are a weakness. Ur assertion is that there is no in between

The back end of the Harding d can definitely be beat. They have been beaten regularly in the 3 games I've seen them play this post season. Call that a strength if you want. (I also threw the number 3 in there to help you with the math, btw.)

Mines will be the 2nd best passing offense you have seen this season. I think Harding will have to get home up front or They'll get burned deep. Again I'm fine if you disagree. I'm not trying to change your mind or insult Harding. Just stating what I have seen.

On the other side, Mines has great run D stats. Does that mean Harding doesn't have a prayer, or does it mean stats are a pretty terrible way to try and prove a point?.

No twisted underwear here. And if an objective comment is “not very good” then you may like to go to Webster and look up the word objective. And a 2 game sample size out of 14 games one of which was against an off that made everyone’s DB look weak is poor to make an “objective” decision from any way you cut it

[Predatory Primates]

Oh. I almost forgot. Congrats to Harding and Mines. It's a fun matchup and we get to see a brand new NC either way.

Firstly, stats don’t matter when you haven’t played anyone. When you have played 5 ranked teams in 14 games I’d wager to say yes they paint a decent picture. Secondly, the back end of any def can get beat. I’d wager that Pitt St back end got beat by UCM. Thirdly, if any good qb has all day to throw he will torch any def so yeah I’d say pass rush is a factor in any game against a good qb. Again, choose your words and I wouldn’t have said a thing. Using what you have seen to make educated assertions for how the game will play out is one thing saying our back end is not very good is plain disrespect. I’ll give you one unrefutable stat. They are the starting unit for one of only two secondaries playing in the NC so again I’d say they don’t suck. Btw, asking for a friend can the Pitt St secondary say that?

[Bisonfan1]

And you do know nary a starter was on the field against LR in the 4th quarter today. Also btw when ur up by 4 scores we do tend to rotate more but I am sure after your 3 game sample you are extremely well versed on who all of our starters are and when they are in or out. So based on your own admitted sample we got “torched” by UCM off who torches everyone’s secondary, GVSU who had 222 yds total off (oh I forgot stats don’t matter), and LR who you don’t even know what you were seeing was against a starter or non starter. You are good at this. Maybe ought to see if ESPN will hire you

Are the Broncos gonna Sugah Daddy the Mines faithful to Texas again? That was a great crowd last year. I'm sure Harding will be in full force too. Will be nice to see a semi full stadium for this one.

FWIW

Driving times from each school to McKinney ISD Stadium:

Mines - 12 hours 5 minutes
Harding - 5 hours 20 minutes

The op asked that comments be made above the belt, but calling one anothrer "son" is pretty juvenile....

[Tundra_Man]

I'm expecting a good game.

I wouldn't be surprised if both teams look a little different next weekend as compared to normal. That frequently happens in championship games: the travel, the attention, the pressure, the lights, etc. It all adds up.

It's pretty common to hear fans who have watched their team all season comment afterwards that they looked a little off, regardless of whether they win or lose.

[crixus]

I don't have a rooting intere$t in either team, but I have a gut feeling that Harding will win.

The freaking thread police has showed up now. Sorry I assume first offense is a warning? So many extremely mature adults around here. Act like a child getting treated like one…

Children are those who call others childish names. You've been doing it virtually the whole time you've been here.

You know Kle when I want your opinion on what an adult and a child is I’ll ask. Otherwise just don’t address me. It’s clear from your posts what and who you are….and it’s not a good thing. What amazes me is how posters think they have the right to blatantly disrespect another’s team, peers, kids and there is no right for recourse. And then somehow take the moral high ground when they get recourse. Mess with the bull and you get the horns. Guess you are not familiar with the we reap what we sow passage. If you don’t want any recourse it’s very simple, don’t be disrespectful. If you are then you get what you get and don’t pitch a fit
