Well, the big day (at least the latest one) is here. HC is favored to wind up a winning regular season (7-5) and to take the Patriot League Championship outright (by 10 in Massey [24-14] / by 7 in Bassett [24=17] ).It will be interesting to see how HC handles th QB spot today. I am hoping Cozier has his best day ever to end his regular season career. Kickoff in less than 3 hours. Excited? If not, you should be. GO CROSS GO!

I hope the lack of activity on the board is because you are all getting ready to head to Fitton for some pre-game tailgating and post-game celebrating. Sitting here in my kitchen, wearing purple and an HC shield shirt counting the minutes until the game.

Rescheduled an appointment from noon to 10AM with an uncharacteristic sense of urgency that could not be countered. Playoff fever setting in.

If the team comes out flat today do not blame the coach. A football player should need no external motivation to play with their highest intensity in a game of this magnitude. I do believe we'll play our best game of the season today. HC 42 -17.

I do believe we'll play our best game of the season today. HC 42 -17. Luckily, we don't need to show up in the first half to win games in the PL. Hoping for a blowout win in preparation for the first round of the FCS Playoffs.

I would come back and run that same play and give the ball now - Would love to see some pulling guard lead inside runs.

We just ran the same play and Degenhardt threw it without even looking at the coverage or DB.

Murphy didn't get the memo to run the ball from last week.

Good leg by Ng - off the upright. Close. Showing confidence in his leg.

Yeah - I think we missed an opportunity to come back and run the ball off of that PA - Hopefully we can get into a rythm.
I don't like kicking into that endzone - Get the miss out of your system early.

"In 2018, the Hoyas enjoyed one of the best improvements seasons in the country, finishing 5-6 overall and 4-2 in league play, the program’s best Patriot League record since joining the conference in 2001. Georgetown enjoyed conference wins over Fordham, Lafayette, Lehigh and Bucknell. The double OT win over Lehigh was GU’s first since 1925. Six Hoyas were named to All-Patriot League postseason teams." I forgot it's Georgetown... You guys are doing great!

Sooner or later one of these teams is going to go for it on fourth down.
