Region 1 Playoff Thread #2

[CALUPA69]

Inkblot's question has been answered.

And on SRU's schedule as well, also minus a starting time. My guess is 12PM since the Mon Valley is the most easterly location. Valdosta at 1PM seems likely followed by Ferris at 2PM and Mankato at 3PM.

I believe the NCAA dictates start time, which is fun if you're hosting a Saturday basketball doubleheader.

I agree 12:00.

Just wondering: the winner of Cal/rock will play what team next?

So the Fighting Amish choked?

I hope there is more consternation at the Memorial Field House over what could have been….

Congrats & kudos to both teams next week will be interesting

Depends, teams are reseeded. If form holds probably Valdosta, if Minnesota St keeps pulling out upsets late, then probably winner of Harding/Ferris

Rock-Kutztown highlights lead off College Football Final.

Doesn’t better who they face..the result will be the same. A blowout loss on the road.

Most likely, but those sure were two competitive regional semifinal games.

No class whatsoever

I keep seeing Kutztown folks lobbing shots at the SRU players and coaches but I didn't see anything on the broadcast that was offensive. Anyone care to help me understand?

Did they dance on their field? That’s a Slimey thing to do.

I jumped on the Elon app and did a search. Some things I read but don't recall seeing: shooting gun gestures toward the crowd, humping the goal post, and making some sort of gesture about taking a crap.

I just want to comment that it seems we have a lot of parity in the upper echelon of the PSAC and when you add in the top teams from the other Region 1 conferences.

All of the teams that made the Region 1 playoffs , plus IUP, are at a very comparable level, program-wise. But after those 8 (and maybe a couple of others) there is a pretty significant drop-off.

Did the Dr. Evil control chips malfunction?

I didn't watch but nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to the immediate post-game.

D1 had a travesty of embarrassments this past weekend - at least 4 rivalry games ending in very ugly scenes (highlighted by OSU/MIchigan). Players in uniform received pepper spray on national television.

It's a real quick fix. Plant a flag and you (player) are suspended the rest of the season. Just eliminate all this bullsh!t already.

On our level, I wish they'd just make the post-game handshake lineup go away. D1 doesn't do it.

I don't care about the 'sportsmanship' angle some will play. I watch these games in person. These players beat the heck out of one another for 3 hours. They all taunt the whole time. They trash talk from warm-ups until the locker room door closes. They've just finished playing. By the way, go shake hands.

I'll say this ... every bad thing I've ever seen happen in D2 football or basketball has happened in the handshake line.

Guess what? There's nobody there to break it up. The officials who let the game get so out of hand? They are sprinting off the field the second the final buzzer goes off. Security at our level? None. Maybe (1) rent-a-cop or the baseball team hired as ushers.

I know one SR1 official in football. I asked him once about the immediate post-game. His answer was simple ... they aren't security guards and their job ends the moment the final bell rings. He also asked who in their right mind would get in between these padded up guys raging out?

Tort's talked about it many times. Once it starts, there's little coaches can do to break it up. There's 100-some strapped up, helmeted players ready to explode and, what, 15 (much older) coaches? The IUP/Gannon brawl 6-7 years ago went on for 4-5 minutes before it was fully extinguished.

At minimum, the officials should have the power to block the handshake line when warranted. The IUP/Gannon brawl never should have happened. The whole stadium knew that was coming.

Wave at each other across the field. I don't know. It's getting worse by the year. Treat the post-game like the rest of society. Start a brawl and you get arrested. Act like an animal and get sent to the cage.
