Not the finest moment at Hampden-Sydney:  https://saturdaytradition.com/big-ten-football/oops-diii-football-grounds-crew-runs-over-goal-post-forces-one-directional-game/

That is too funny.  As to the grounds crew driver, what year did he graduate from HSC?

He graduated the year before my pizza delivery guy graduated from RMC.

Congratulations to Marty Favret - the winningest coach in HSC history.

Congrats, indeed.

A great comeback by W&L to force the OT. Also great work by the Tigers to respond in OT with the TD and PAT. Great win.

WL scored with about 40 seconds to go to take a 3 point lead. HSC kicked a 42 yard FG as time expired to force OT.

Congratulations to Coach Favret for his 143 win yesterday. From HSC’s website -

With the victory, 23rd-year Hampden-Sydney head coach Marty Favret now totals 143 football coaching wins with the Tigers, tying legendary H-SC Hall of Fame head coach J. Stokeley Fulton, who is the winningest and longest-tenured football coach at the College. Coach Favret now has an overall record of 143-84, while Coach Fulton compiled a record of 143-99-5 over 25 seasons from 1960-84.

2 deep is fun to talk about but it won’t matter. HSC returned 10 starters on offense in 2019 and went 1-9. Granted they weren’t the best team in 2018 but they scored points in ‘18 averaging just over 30 points per game.  In 2019 they averaged less than 17.  This is 1 example of many. I used to look at these type things every year. But it’s early June and we are talking football. Life is good!

Anyone know why Apprentice vs Guilford was cancelled yesterday? The Generals are a bit beat up right now and face Apprentice next week. As a fan and hopeful for W&L's season, I wouldn't be too upset if it wasn't played and they had a chance to get healthy. As a fan and a proponent for the players, I hope the game goes on and the Generals get to play a full season since the upperclassmen, especially, have already lost an entire slate.

Looks like it was COVID-19 related on Guilford’s end.

HSC played the worst 1st half I had seen in the 13 years I’ve followed them. Actually the 3rd period was not much better. In their first 3 possessions of the 2nd half the fumbled, and threw 2 ints. However GC did nothing with those turnovers. GC let HSC hang around long enough to allow them a chance to win. HSC scored a TD At the end of the third to make it 14 to 20. They made it 21-20 with about 9 minutes to go in the game. GC answered with a drive that took another 5 1/2 minutes off the clock. So with 3:34 remaining and GC up 5 they KICKED the extra point!  WTF?  HSC promptly takes it down and scores the game winning TD. I have no idea as to what the GC coach was thinking but that was  huge mistake.

This was an ugly win but hey a win is a win!

The facilities at RMC look great!  I know that our fans really appreciate RMC spending all that money so that we have a place to sit. Why else would that have built them?  No one else comes to their games! 

I’m kidding (kinda) and I’m very jealous especially of the weight room.

Providing you a place to sit to see another HSC loss in THE GAME is the least that RMC can do for their HSC brethren.

I agree.  But the last time they updated facilities turning their East- West disaster of a field into a North South turf field HSC won -2013. Maybe we can replicate that this fall.
