It was a good try by the Flames. An exciting game no doubt. And a great turnout. This bodes well for our future. Can't wait till next year.

Anybody else heartsick right now?

It wasn't all on the kicking game because we killed ourselves once again with penalties.

[SeoulFlame]

Threwup in my mouth a little.

Tribe - 14
Flames - 13
Final

Congrats, KK.

[kel varson]

AG,

You had the final score right...wrong team though.

[SeoulFlame]

I'm going back to bed. Looking forward to all the comments in the morning. Rocco is going to roll some heads. Night.

Coastal goes right down the field and scores a TD...CCU up 31-27 w/ 18 seconds left.

[KaplanKrazies]

Thanks, Sly, you guys are a great group o' fans.

I'll definitely be cheering for you guys to win out and hopefully make the playoffs. Coastal now looks much more vulnerable.

Hope Coach Rocco explains why losing by 1 point is better than losing by 2 points which is what would have happened if he had gone for the two point conversion and it failed. This one's on the coach.

[KaplanKrazies]

Wasn't that TD before Jennings got injured? I'm sure you guys would have gotten more points had Jennings not gone down.

[A.G.]

Sorry--I had to log off. That 30 yard penalty was the last straw.

What a difference a year makes--and this team does not quit. Great job, guys. Now the REAL season starts against G-W next week. Repeat after me:
"Freaking Gardner Webb." I hate them like SJ hates Winthrop and LUconn hates Radford.

Coastal wins 31-27...And in other action, CSU is beating Edward Watters 34-0 in the 4th quarter.

Baldy. I fail to see where THREE missed FG is on the coach. Nope. Rocco can take no blame for this one.

[Baldspot]

The poor kicking game is all the more reason to go for a 2 point conversion. Coach had to know his kicker was struggling and the Tribe had planty of time to get a TD/extra pt and a "1" point victory.

[Sly Fox]

I believe Rocco had his reasons for not going for two. But I agree that it was a regrettable decision.

WEF - We have a scoreboard thread with all of the updates in it.

OK..just noticed that...

[A.G.]

And we missed two FG after that. Rocco had to have the confidence his team would have a shot or two at scoring, again.
(I have to admit I questioned it, too, at the time. But there is no way you can pin the loss on Rocco).

[Sly Fox]

OK, I'm locking this thread and sending everybody over to the postmortem thread.
