I am shocked that the T&G made such an error in their coverage. It wasn’t Jen.

That is good too hear. It os also good to see growing coverage of HC in the T&G. However, does anyone ever get upset when they get things wrong about Holy Cross? I am past that. Oh. for a return to the days of full page headlines and the great game cartoons by Al Banx.

To watch the replay of the game, go to the schedule on the HC website and click on stadium for the Lehigh game. Then look at the games listed at the bottom of the page and click on HC at Lehigh. When the video is available, you will get it there. How soon after a game does Stadium put the video out there? That's my biggest complaint with the service, I'd love to watch games Saturday night uninterrupted versus always having stuff interfere on Saturday afternoon.

“Take control “ ? won’t there be a 3 way tie in the loss column then ? Yes, but if Lafayette beats us next week and end up winning out, they will own tie-breakers over HC and Lehigh and would win the auto-bid. At 5-7 -- let that sink in. When the PL dared defy the Ivies and declare itself eligible for the playoffs (mid 90s, a kick in the groin to the HC teams that were great and couldn't go), there was a caveat that the champion had to be at least .500. I assume that got dropped along the way?

And I would hope the replays are full in its entirety so that I could see all the plays that are missed when the game is live due to buffering or whatever it is when you lose the video.
Yesterday when we were deep in Lehigh territory, lost the video and apparently Connor threw an interception. (Maybe I should be glad I missed it?).

People bitching and moaning about anything less than perfection. I went to the 43-42 "thrilla" in 1991. A lot of joy in that car and just as much "how the hell could they torture us like that"!

A minor quibble about how we ended yesterday’s game.
After Riley’s interception, we had the ball on the five yard-line with :49 remaining and Lehigh had two timeouts remaining.
There was no reason to get into shotgun formation and run the ball.
All we needed to do was have three kneel downs take us to :40 and the clock would have run out.
If we assume that a snap, kneel and timeout would take three seconds...
1st down takes it to :46. Lehigh uses their second timeout.
2nd down takes it to :43. Lehigh uses their third timeout.
3rd down takes it to :40 — game over.
Now, even if there is a second or two difference between the game clock and play clock on 4th down, we could easily just snap the ball and run out of the back of the end zone. Take the safety. No time left. Game over.
How often have we seen (Albany) weird things happen that have lost us games over the years. There was no reason to run the ball and allow Lehigh to tackle us inside our own five yard-line.
Imagine if Cozier had fumbled the ball? While unlikely, there’s still a chance.

Here in NJ it was fine (but I would not have minded missing a chance to see that int.). Typically gthe replays are complete. I too wish they were put up more quickly.

Oh. for a return to the days of full page headlines and the great game cartoons by Al Banx. Those cartoons were classic. Wish I had saved some. Those and the multi-frame pictures of developing plays with arrows noting path of run, flight of pass, etc. Roy Mumpton game stories were great.

I was driving around listening on the radio, when Roberts* fumbled the punt I was so furious I clicked it off, then parked my car and walked in a store. Had no idea that the fumble was negated by a penalty! *time to give someone else a shot at that job!

Yep- no reason for a shotgun snap let alone hand the ball off...and you can easily kill off more than 3 seconds if the qb dances around a wee bit (or runs backwards a little) before giving himself up. Villanova blew a game last week against Stony Brook in a similar situation. They committed a holding penalty that stopped the clock on a down where SBU didn't have a time out to burn. Left enough time on the clock for them to get the ball back and run a play or two that got them in field goal range.

Since you mention Albany, and the play that day was right in front of me, I often thought our QB could have just run around even in the wrong direction to kill the clock

Quarter is also extended for the point after touchdown.

Very special day yesterday for the Crusaders. Senior leadership from our captains Dom Cozier and Chris Riley ultimately carried the day. Tenio Ayeni and Ayir Asante are clearly special talents. Not sure if people could see that Tenio's touchdown catch was an over the shoulder one handed catch. WOW. . a la OBJ . . !! Defense bent but did not break. Lots of young talent on this side of the ball as well with many sophomores and freshmen getting meaningful minutes. This bodes very well for the future. Jacob Dobbs especially is a HUGE talent. Runs like a deer and hits like the proverbial Mack truck. IMO, the area of our team needing most improvement is our Red Zone conversion rate. www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fcs/current/team/703/p2While the pre-game festivities with family, team parents and friends were great and the game itself was a well played competitive tilt with the good guys coming out on the top, the real highlight of the day for me was the post-game gathering on the field. Seeing the exultation on the faces of our players in the company of their parents and families and surrounded by a large number of alumni who came from near and far was really special. The emotion was palpable. The respect that many of our current players and alums displayed for the the man CTG who gave them the opportunity to play college ball was special as many of these individuals posed for photos and/or shook hands with TG and former assistants, especially Coach Dimichele. By the same token the respect, admiration, and love displayed by our team for our current coaches is very readily apparent. From a personal standpoint, seeing our head coach BC embrace a lady who was wheeled out onto the field in her chair (not sure who this lady is) was remarkable. The love and caring that was on display in that moment was special and hard to describe. With 300-400 individuals milling about for the better part of a half hour, the respect and admiration for everybody involved in the game and everything surrounding it is a memory I will not soon forget. Our Holy Cross Football Family is a very special group. Proud and honored to be a part of it. Still plenty of work to do. On to Lafayette . . . LET'S WIN!!

Yesterday when we were deep in Lehigh territory, lost the video and apparently Connor threw an interception. (Maybe I should be glad I missed it?). Saw the interception uninterrupted and only had a couple of brief blackouts in the second half. And I’m not sure which is worse/more frustrating - a short blackout or buffering for free or $5 a month and bad camera work!

Game wouldn’t end on a safety, would it? I imagine there would be an untimed punt play? I am not aware of any rule indicating that a game can't end on a safety so it is my understanding that an un-timed free kick would not have been required had we ran the ball back through the EZ with no time left. Good break down SOV. I was actually in the stands still concerned that the game wasn't over due to the difficulty of running three kneel-down plays from the 5 yard line without risking a safety and ensuing free kick and potential Lehigh Hail Mary attempt to WIN the game. I thought at the time that we should've lined up with CD under center and ran QB dive up the middle on first down and then kneel downs on second and third. Running plays out of the shotgun risks both a) a bad snap and b) a botched hand-off.

BC better watch out ? What have you been smoking tonight ?? Cannibis-infused NAB purple Kool Aid? Perhaps spiked with Worcester's very own Arctic Summer Hard Seltzer by Polar Beverages. You meant NAD purple Kool Aid, not NAB, right?

I assume that got dropped along the way? It must have gotten dropped sometime before 2013 when Lafayette won the conference at 5-6 (5-1 PL). An otherwise DOMINANT Fordham team lost to Lafayette that year the one game their QB Michael Niebrich sat with injury and also finished 5-1. Fordham made the playoffs as an at-large while Lafayette won the auto-bid. Prior to that, the worst overall record for a PL champ was 6-5 Lafayette who won the auto-bid in 2006 (tied for PL with Lehigh but beat them rivalry week for the head-to-head). In 2017, Lehigh won the conference with at 5-6 (5-1) as well. I am hoping to see 8-4 Holy Cross represent the league this year so the list of teams backing into Patriot League titles doesn't get added to.

Yesterday’s game was available a couple of hours after it concluded. I was watching the replay last night at 8:00 PM.
We seem to have problems with the video on Stadium, when the production is from Chanel 3 or NESN. Games produced by HC generally are available within a couple of hours.The Colgate game produced by Chanel 3, was not available until this past Wednesday. Once archived they are available for an extended period of time. Games produced by NESN seem to take a protracted period until they are available.
Conversely games that are broadcast on ESPN are available immediately after conclusion of play, but are available for only a week to 10 days.
