I don't want to jinx dayton, but it seems like the fumble problem has been corrected, Crosby was trying to strip the ball all night but it wasn't coming out, whatever the coaches are doing in practice, keep doing it.

I thought it was cool how the whole Bronco team walked out on the field standing shoulder to shoulder for the coin toss.

Forget the final score. Flainagan or who ever he is can kiss my ___. . Second time he has held his team for start of game. MY SON serves this country in the Armed Services and they all deserve respect on and off the field. I wish it had been 100-2. I cannot believe the good people of Crosby would put up with this crap. JD laying on the field and Crosby players do not have enough respect to take a knee.  Players learn from their leader and Crosby has none on the football field. I usually hold my opinion but this is disrespectful of our men and women serving our country

Flanny.  That's what i'm calling him from here on out.

How do you skin a Cougar???  Sick the Bronco Defense on him...

I would rate Crosby as classless and they do play dirty. I would say we dislike Crosby more than Barbers Hill.

I thought it was interesting that they moved Rip & Wright to the ends last night. Wright from the nose and Rip from OLB position. It sure seemed to work well against Merka. I watched them pretty close all night and those guys are amazing! They used a great deal of patience and discipline. It was a thing of beauty to watch them play their blocks and read, then attack.

It's got to be hard for those guys not to just throw their blocks to the side and get in after the QB, which both of them could do on every play. But they didn't. They stuck with the game plan in the interest of the team and it paid off big time. Contaiment on Merka was outstanding. It's also worth mentioning that Tousant more than held his own at the nose. Great job guys. I salute the coaches as well. That was fun to watch. The whole defense is fun to watch.

I wonder if that move was just a special surprise for Merka and the cougars or if they will stick with it.

[/quote] Agree ! coaching and  game prep. was top notch - and we got our trick play with Baldwin throwing the TD  -priceless ~

[Bronco fan22]

merka beat us last year by getting outside and no way were we going to let him do that again so we move the monsters on the outside to contain him

[Bronco fan22]

it was only for that game though

I kinda figured that's why. Great move though. Game ball to the coach(s) for that one.

[Tyrone_Biggums]

Game balls:  Ryan McBride, Joe Duff, #4, Charles Toussant (where have we been hiding him?), Rip for his play on the O-line, Merka (think of the possibilities if his parents would have moved to Dayton when he started seventh grade).  Herrera for playing smart.

No Balls:

Crosby for being late.
Dayton for crying about crosby coming out late.

[Bronco fan22]

as bronco fans we have become spoiled to a certain degree and it takes games like this for us to realize how special of a staff we have,it is a shame but true considering the success we have experienced

Rip at TE and Wright behind him in the jumbo set also makes for some pretty impressive blocking on offense.

Rip has been getting some of d line,so no changes there.

Yea, that's a lot of beef. I noticed they used that a little more last night. One of the times Mcribe broke for a TD.

I've seen him line up there a few times in previous games, just not the whole game.

[3BRONCOS2]

I wondered why he didn't play that much at North forest. I saw him go in a few times and come back out.

[Hawkeye]

Well how about Darrion to the end? Is that something we'll see some more of?

[3BRONCOS2]

Rip was hurt during NF. And if i did know if D was staying at 3tech i dont think i could say,so we will see next week.
