Fordham @ Army-West Point Completely Unofficial Game Thread

[Fordham]

On my way up to West Point. Who'll be watching? It will be interesting to see how well all of our new faces handle their first college playing experience. That's the biggest thing to me - are we composed of not? Some other things to look for:

*can we get the ball to Edmonds in space?
*can QB Anderson extend drives with his legs?
*does our interior DL stuff the run well enough to keep them from running downhill on us like last year?
*is 2013 PL DPOY Stephen Hodge back to 100%?

If the answer is negative for most of those, we're screwed IMO. If positive, insert a picture of "... so you're sayin' there's a chance" here.

Go Rams! Great to have football back!

[RichH2]

Good luck tonight. Already set up to watch Rams and Lehigh starting at 7PM. IMO Edmonds will get his yards. Can Rams D stand up thru the 4TH quarter?

[FootballCEO]

Hey gang, I'll be up in the Press Box tonight for this one

Nice. I'll try to post some pictures from my seats. This campus is unbelievable

I love West Point! I was there in 2010 for a Temple game and loved it! Enjoy tonight! It's got to be pretty hot up there right now!

[citdog]

hudson high school sucks

[FargoBison]

Chase Edmonds putting on a show.

[Vooter]

14-14...

[clenz]

Fordham looks bad at contain

[KPSUL]

1st Quarter over, it's been a real entertaining and competitve game so far.

[Vooter]

17-14 Rams, after first and goal on the Army five...bad dropped pass...

[FootballCEO]

Chase Edmonds for Heisman

[Vooter]

21-17, Army...we're having real problems with Bradshaw...

[Vooter]

I like Anderson, though...

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Did Edmonds score again? Rams up?

[Vooter]

27-21, Rams, halftime...

[Vooter]

Fordham gets the safety on a bad Army punt snap...29-21 Rams...

[Pard4Life]

Just tuned in but must say, new QB and top WRs gone, and 364 yards of offense through two quarters in your first game, vs an FBS? Wow.

Anderson and Edmonds have both played very well...

[Vooter]

TD and two-point conversion for the Cadets...29-29...

[KnightoftheRedFlash]

C'mon Army!

I would like to play Fordham or VMI/Citadel every other year. Nice to see Fordham resurrect its program to historic success. Your glory years in the 1930's are remarkable reading.

[RabidRabbit]

Exciting game. Sure wish that Rabbits could get a game with any of the service academies. Think Jacks could get a W vs any of those. Fordham's wearing down in 4th. would not be surprised to see Rams pull this game.

Army played South Dakota in 1929 and won 33-6. Army beat North Dakota 33-6 in 1930. Army beat North Dakota State 52-0 in 1932. Otherwise, Army hasn't played the Dakota schools in any other football contests.

Send in an application. We need to beat you so we can be 1-0 against all Dakota schools.

[Go...gate]

Sounds like the Rams are picking up where they left off. Go Fordham!

[Vooter]

37-29 Rams...

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

C'mon Fordham! Be a big win for the PL!

[BucBisonAtLarge]

The Rams' offense has not lost much since last year, apparently. It is going to be a fun year.

[KnightoftheRedFlash]

This is embarrassing. We beat Fordham last year, so I expected to win.

Yes, I know Fordham is very good, but FBS and FCS are different plains.

I did predict that Army will beat PSU and Rutgers and lose to Fordham and Bucknell.

Question for Fordham fans: Does Fordham have any plans to move up?

[RichH2]

Great game Rams. Put'em away.

[Vooter]

Question for Fordham fans: Does Fordham have any plans to move up?

I highly doubt it...

[KnightoftheRedFlash]

Personally, I would like to see it.

Send your check to me--I'll make sure they get it... :D

I'm a college student, so I got 50 cents and Chef Boyardee.

This game is full of big minus plays. Good grief.

FU's center has not had a good snapping game at all...

Absolutely no way.

[Vooter]

Army drives down and scores, but Fordham stops the two-point conversion...37-35, Rams, 2:33 left...

[BisonFan02]

Absolutely no way.

They should give the Sunbelt a call and tell them they have a plan...and a NYC media market. xlolx

[Lehigh'98]

Fordham trying damnedest to give this game away.

[KnightoftheRedFlash]

Fordham played to win with that two-point conversion. Like the aggression.

[Mr. C]

I almost posted that

[ElCid]

Wow, Fordham looks to be giving this away.

[DFW HOYA]

Fordham 37-35. And that was no upset.

[Vooter]

37-35, Fordham, final. xthumbsupx

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Congrats Fordham! two fbs wins in three years is a great! This sets a big game next week with Villanova. O/U on that one? 80?

[KnightoftheRedFlash]

Two years in a row, we have lost to FCS schools.

Losing to Yale and Fordham was acceptable in the 1930's.

Good game Fordham. You have won the honors of battle.

If my Red Flash lose to Georgetown, I'm going on the lam for a week.

[Sader87]

Army should go 1-AA

I like Holy Cross because of your awesome nickname. Don't make me dislike you!

Army does not lack for talent but the coaching staff really struggles to know what to do with it. Too many bench mistakes.

Georgetown's problem is talent, not coaching.

[KnightoftheRedFlash]

Haha. I'm just a fan, not a soldier. But my brother is applying for West Point.

We should just get it over with it and merge our squads.

if your brother had a pair he would attend a school that actually has a 4th class system. Hudson high school is a shell of what it used to be. nice win for Fordham but it is only west point.

[blackbeard]

Congrats Fordham! Great win!

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Patriot League - 1 FBS win
CAA - 0 FBS wins

Weekend not over, but... I could get used to this.

The CAA has a PFL loss....the above stat is entirely unnecessary.

So I should just go with Patriot League > CAA

[BisonFan02]

I wouldn't go that far..... xlolx I think UNH just scored another TD against Lafayette in the time it took me to type this post.

[Gater]

Nice job, Rams. Don't even know if your O was clicking and it looked really good. Good adjustments on D at half. Even more impressive considering how many new starters you guys had.

[The Boogie Down]

Even before there was a Vincent Thomas Lombardi, there was a Lombardi Bowl. This priceless heirloom dates back to 1891 when what was once "St. John's College" travelled 50 miles up river to take on what was once known simply as "Army." The home team won that epic encounter and three more legendary battles over the following 123 years. But last night the Hudson tides turned and Fordham Rose Hill finally got a measure of revenge on Army West Point. The Lombardi Bowl now calls The Bronx home where the exquisite antique will hopefully stay for 123 years to come. Hail, Men of Fordham, Hail!

What schools do you suggest?

[KPSUL]

Staying an FBS independent is the right move for Army. It gives them a lot of flexibility in scheduling. They need to continue playing the other two national service academies and there really is no reason they shouldn't be able to recruit and field a team that is on a par with Navy and AF. By being realistic about the FBS opponents they schedule averaging 50% wins per year is a reachable goal.

Only because you have posted dozens of comments disparaging the United States Military Academy, not just their football team, I think it only fair for you to provide the extent of your personal experience that makes you such an authority
on military leadership training and officer commissioning programs.

Even hudson high men will tell you it hasn't been tough there since the admission of the fairer sex. The State run military schools held out on that for two decades longer. They have an annual pillow fight in the barracks at west point but don't confuse that with the pillow biting that happens at vmi.

yankees do quite well at becoming one of virginias marching idiots.

Great to be 1-0. Doesn't get much easier next week though..

We may have born Yankees, but we have Southern souls.

Only a handful of traitors from Pennsyltucky. The rest of us are proud of being on the right side of history. And like baseball's Yankees, proud of being winners too!

[TheBoyWhoSeaWolf]

Really nice win for Fordham with all the historical narratives and whatnot. Both schools have interesting campuses to walk.

Thanks for the nice words, Mr. Wolf. Oh and good job on your own win at West Point a few years ago. You guys didn't even bother to keep it close!

I am a fan of neo-Gothic architecture for sure

I wasn't talking about the Civil War.

There is more to the South than that.

Either way, congratulations. You have a fine team, with a fine history.
