$20 bucks?  That's a bargain. Money much better spent than watching anything on Netflix. If only a few bucks goes back to the schools then that's a few bucks more than they got before. I went to one football game last year in person. I spent more than $240.00 on the hotel room alone. I did watch every other football game and several basketball games online. I don't anticipate any changes to my viewing habits in the years to come.

I have no issue paying a few bucks to watch a game with favorite team. Honestly, I doubt many parents will either. If the production quality is better it will make the game more enjoyable. If it's the same quality as it has been I still don't mind. It's a very small price to pay for the ability to watch a game.

I would not argue with putting HSC into the second tier. They are most likely the youngest team in the ODAC. In today's win against Bridgewater, HSC started 3 freshmen on offense and 3 more on defense. There are 11 freshmen listed in the 2 deep. That's 17 guys with very little experience and all of which are playing key roles on a 5-3 team. Bridgewater by comparison has not a single freshman listed in their 2 deep. Ferrum was a butt whopping but I chalk it up to young players learning how to play college football. My guess is they will be considered an upper tier team in the very near future.

HSC played inspired football from start to finish on HOF weekend. The HOF ceremony took place on Friday evening. Coach Marty Favret, teammates Holton Walker and Nash Nance were inducted into the HSC HOF.

Vince Luvara is the new coach at HSC!

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. 

HSC scored 13 points and only 1 second ran off the clock. They scored a FG on an untimed down To make it 17 to 17 at the half. They kicked the game tying FG with 1 second on the clock at the snap. They scored a TD in overtime. Both  FGs came after penalties from WL. The first was a horse collar, the second was a pass interference. It was an amazingly fun game to watch. I watched it online.

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 Marty Favret - the winningest coach in HSC history.

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.

Two weeks in a row HSC gives up a TD in the final minute to lose the game. It's hard to watch. Widener only had 4 processions in the second half. A 15 play drive For a FG, a 3 and out, and a 1i play drive for a TD and 13 play drive for a TD. By my count in the second half Widener went 10 of 13 on 3rd down conversions and 1 for 1 on 4th down. 9 of these conversations were 6 yards or more.

Also the HSC QB was injured on the last play of the game.

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!
