Give Me A Playoff Already Written on January 7, 2010, by Bob.
No matter what anyone says, college football needs to have a playoff system. There is no reason why Division I-AA, Division-II and Division-III can have playoffs but the big schools, which are the most popular, can’t. I can honestly say I haven’t watched ONE bowl game this entire season, minus Pitt. But that’s the point. [...]
Why I Love College Basketball Written on January 5, 2010, by Bob.
Forget the fact I played college basketball and my brothers both played/play college basketball, because the nature of the game and the rivalries it creates are second to none. Don’t get me wrong, I love college football. There is nothing better than a Saturday afternoon watching your favorite team take the field for a three, [...]
How Bout Them Panthers!! Written on January 5, 2010, by Bob.
Before the season started, everyone said the Pitt men’s basketball team didn’t have a shot to win the Big East. With teams like Syracuse, West Virginia, Connecticut, Villanova and Georgetown, who are all ranked in the top 20 by the way, who could blame them. The Big East has five teams in the top 13 [...]
A Good Trip Written on January 4, 2010, by Bob.
The Westminster Titans men’s basketball team took a trek out to California over the Christmas break to participate in a number of tournaments, playing four games total while spending a week in beautiful California, where it was 70-degrees and sunny (it was 15 degrees and snowing here). All-in-all I’d say it was a good trip [...]
The Rock Stays Perfect … Barely Written on December 22, 2009, by Bob.
The Rock remained perfect (8-0) last night with a 87-84 win over Shepard University. The problem I have with this win is that Shepard only had one win coming into that contest. Shepard is not on the same level as the Rock and this should have been an easy game and the problem is, I [...]
Clarion Golden Eagles Robbed Of Playoff Birth Written on November 9, 2009, by Bob.
Before I begin, let me reiterate that I am a SRU graduate and a big fan of Rock football. For years, one of the easiest and sometimes most boring games to watch was the Rock vs. Clarion. Clarion had been so bad for so many years, it was hard to watch them play sometimes. This [...]
Rock, IUP Matchup Better Than Advertised Written on September 28, 2009, by Bob.
Although the score was only 7-3, this matchup between IUP and the Rock may have been one of the best college football games I have seen in recent memory. That is, if you like low scoring, defensive struggles like I do. If you’re a Steelers fan, then this was your type of game. The only [...]
Grove City Wolverines Racking Up The Yards Written on September 21, 2009, by Bob.
The Grove City College football team is averaging just about 460 yards of offense per game so far in the three games they have played. They are scoring an average of 40 points a game and averaging 159 yards rushing and over 300 yards passing a game. They have out gained their opponents each of [...]
Random Thoughts From The SRU-Kutztown Game Written on September 14, 2009, by Bob.
Robert Doiley is a beast and should have been selected as defensive player of the week in the PSAC but apparently, the higher ups at the PSAC didn’t think it would be fair to give it to the Rock three times in a row even though they earned it. Doiley intercepted a pass and returned [...]
A Good Start Written on August 31, 2009, by Bob.
If you’re like me, you’ve been waiting for the start of football season in Western Pa. On Saturday, the football season got started in dramatic fashion at N. Kerr Thompson Stadium at Slippery Rock University as the Rock took down Bowie State by a final score of 31-27 on a last minute touchdown. In a [...]
