Football @ Monmouth

[uofalbany]

Gotta get a thread started on the monmouth game.

 

What's the scene like down at monmouth during a football game?

Apparently, its homecoming.

 

How many Daniacs will be showing up?

Monmouth usually has an awesome homecoming scene. I loved playing at Monmouth because you get the smell of the ocean. The field is a nice small one-sided venue. The tailgates are usually really good during homecoming because all of the parking for the stadium is one lot. You can see it here:

I really want to go, but I'm heading to DC with my wife for a 10K race on Sunday. I'm trying to talk her into stopping off at Monmouth on the way down Saturday. I haven't exactly achieved that goal yet.

Fordie on Wyland:

 

Bryant

Bryant did something no one else has really been able to do in the past few years - screw a safety down into the box that can actually tackle McCarty. The defensive scheme wasn't anything different than other teams have done in the past. They just had two kids playing safety that didn't miss a tackle all game.

 

Espo had the best game of his career.

 

Poore's catch at the end zone was great. "He turns sideways and the defenders cannot see him because he only weighs 112lbs"

 

Monmouth

Sinisi is a good player and will get his yards.

The Redshirt Frosh QB can throw the ball and he expects Monmouth to move towards a 50/50 run-pass ratio. They don't have any big-play receivers though like they had in the past (Nailbone (Dolphins) and Miles Austin (Cowboys)).

 

On defense they are a decent team but they really only have 1 big play guy (Safety - Gumms).

 

Fordie sounding confident. Everyone is healthy. Great week of practice.

Should be an interesting weekend all around the NEC. That CCSU at Bryant game could be a doozey.

Any video out there of the game?

I'm listening to the radio. Someone called, so I missed how we got to the red zone before the touchdown pass. How'd we do it?
