TampaDoubleEagle {l Wrote}:To answer Talon's hypothetical question, damn right I'd be glad BC won. I wouldn't be happy about the game, but I would, in fact, be happy about the win. I like winning. I'd be livid about the way we played, embarrassed about practically losing to a Division II/I-AA team, scared about the rest of the games on our schedule, maybe even depressed based on what I saw, but I'll take a win any day over a loss.
which question are you answering? The one about needing a DII team to miss a last minute chip shot field goal to seal the victory? Or the one about losing to a DIAA team, but getting the victory after the fact because of a forfeit?
but more importantly, would you question the fandom of someone who expressed disappointment in the manner of victory?
My problem with NorthEndEagle is that he takes the attitude that:
If BC wins, it doesnt' matter how they win, anybody who expresses the slightest bit of concern is not a fan and (secretly) hates BC. I just wanted to see NorthEndEagle say that there are circumstances in which BC can win, but BC fans can still be concerned about the way BC won. He obviously can't do that.
For him (or anyone) to suggest that any one here was upset that Wes Davis recovered that fumble in overtime is retarded. I think the majority opinion is that we all are happy that Johnson stripped the ball and Davis recovered, yet at the same time, we are concerned that the decision to turtle up and sit on the lead led to the necessity of that play. BC should have gone for the kill midway through the 4th quarter. Instead, they assumed they could run out the clock. That decision almost led to a loss.
But, I guess it's just easier to say "I came after BC beat Northeastern; you didn't. I'm a better fan than you."
