River (12-3) @ Fort Frye (9-5) 2/18

People who study stuff like this have proven that home teams on every level of sports get a few more calls their way in a game. The trick is that, if the visiting team believes they're deliberately getting the shaft, they start playing like it. I hope every fan in the PVC tells their team that the refs in Beverly are against them, because if your team comes to The Fort believing it's 8 on 5, they're going to fold when things get tough. Shenandoah, with a veteran head coach, could come in to Fort Frye and play just about as well as they did over at their place. You remember bad calls that go against your team. You never remember the bad calls that go the other way, or that The Cadets shoot a lot better at home. But, please, feel free to tell your players it's the refs. We love that.

The only person blaming the officials for anything is one of your own. Might want to direct your little lecture to him.

Great post Ed, hope everyone reads....and remembers this, maybe it'll take some heat off the refs.

I never blame refs just it felt like that game was a little fishy def left that night thinking Fort Frye was the better team. I've seen River 3 other times,

Mother Nature is going to win tonight.

[EasternDspy]

Yea games off anyone have a makeup date?

[surfsider]

I'd say call the AD of Fort Frye or River, or the school. I think old man Tisher is still the AD at River.

[GhostOfHomer]

Going to have to wait a while for this contest.

[EasternDspy]

Why does River not want to risk a loss before OVAC deadline?

[GhostOfHomer]

Doubt it. One loss isn't going to knock River out of the top spot.

[EasternDspy]

Yea because they are so unbeatable

[GhostOfHomer]

Who said anyone was unbeatable? You really are a weird dude. So dang defensive for no reason.

[EasternDspy]

My bad I'm sorry
