My (supposed) Rye-John Jay updates

- November
- 6
So I got a new BlackBerry this week, dowloaded UberTwitter and felt the world was at my fingertips. Apparently, the thing doesn’t work. Not only could I not post on the blog, the updates were showing up on this page at all. Stupid BlackBerry.
(Another problem is that it’s incredibly hard to text while driving on it, which I guess isn’t really a problem)
Anyway, here are the updates from tonight:

Wow, Not bad. JJEF took care of business but Rye did a hell of a job.
Wait, what do you mean Rye lost the qb in the 3rd? and what does didn’t have two linemen mean?
Kevin,
You can’t get wireless on your MAC?
I just heard a rumor that 10 football players from Eastchester skipped school today to go to the Yankees Parade and will not be available tomorrow, any truth?
Kevin,
Not bad..could you give us any more reasons that Rye lost???Dont wanna hear about enrollment as JJCR and Carmel face more than 1100 student differentials from their league brethren….WOW..Connor Eck was knocked out of the game..Sam Loussedes sat out with injury at Arlington..TJ Foley was knocked out against RCK from Mahopac and Ryan Schiling played with a partial rotator cuff tear for 4 weeks…AA North isnt tough is it??Dont give me one week matchups…play an entire season…and let me know!!!!For those interested….3 games down…1 to go…dont fail me Pioneers!!!Go POK!!
ticker tape parade ??? or a non-championship bowl game ???
gotta think you will have another chance to go to a ticker tape parade if your in high school still
how many more high school football games will you get though ???
but is Eastchester football “Eastchester Football” without Bronner ?? ?do they even want to play ??
DutchessFBfan,
You was right all along, Dutchess county Rules!!! :-/
Damn I picked Rye to win too….DAMN!!!
Rye put up a great effort. so proud of the whole team. great year. I know everyone likes to say rye cant handle A, but we can. beat Ossining, lost to eastchester by 6 on the one-inch lin(literally) beat sleepy 28-6, beat Roosevelt 49- 28(i think), beat harrison 21-7(7 years now), beat Nyack 35-7, lost to an excellent Poughkeepsie team with no time on the clock (the best game i have ever seen at rye, along with the 2006 rye-harrison game), and just played a great game against JJEF. I could not be more proud of my boys down in rye.
GARNET PRIDE.
LETS GET READY FOR SOME GOOD FOOTBALL THIS WEEKEND. BEST OF LUCK TO ALL PLAYING THIS WEEKEND> LEAVE IT ALL ON THE FIELD> HIGHSCHOOL FOOTBALL IS THE BEST.
SENIORS, YOULL NEVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO PLAY WITH YOUR BOYS EVER AGAIN.
LEAVE IT ALL ON THE FIELD
JJEF has some big boys. Rye was missing their OT,DT Levinson. Hes 6-2 270 and could have helped rye in the trenches today.
I know Kevin’s not a Dutchess county football expert, but we didn’t even hear how JJEF scored two of their three TDs. I can see how a JJEF fan could take the 3.5 line recap of the game on the Twitter feed seemingly explaining away a Rye loss (due to TOs and losing the QB and 2 linemen) rather than a straight recap. If you can’t protect the QB and your line is being overpowered, unfortunately the QB will often take hits they’re not used to. I hope Eck is back in playing shape soon.
Maybe this win by JJEF will slow down certain Rye fans from claiming their team could be the best in all of section 1 regardless of class which was happening earlier this year after their Ossining win and before their loss to Eastchester. Rye is a very good team. But keep in mind JJEF lost to 4 AA (New Ro, No Rock, Arlington, Carmel) teams this year and didn’t even play a couple AA teams that are probably on a similar level (White Plains, Suffern).
Great effort against a tough team. Too bad Eck got knocked out – that REALLY hurt. We support our Garnets – they will be back for another run at the A title in 2010 – count on that.
AA is more dominant than A nuff said!!!!!!!!!!!!
rye didnt try
I do give Rye a lot of credit for playing a strong, good team like JJEF. I think Section 1 could make the post-season a lot more interesting in future years to set up some intriguing cross-class matchups, particularly btw AA and A teams. Some interesting rivalries could actually develop. Because this actually seems like a logical idea i think there is little chance section 1 would institute it, but its nice to dream. I really liked the Portchester/Mamaroneck mathcup – thats a game that should be played every year. Imagine some other possible matchups:
Nyack/No Rock
Eastchester/MV
Ossining/Arlington
Somers/Carmel
Mahopac/Yorktown
Nyack vs Suffern/Cl South
I feel bad for Rye. Must have been really hard to be enthusiastic after last week.
Rye really never looked into the game. Also, I think that number 55 and 66 being out for Rye was huge. I mean when both your starting Tackles arent playing, its a big deal, especially against a team as big and physical as JJEF. #74 and 56 couldn’t quite fill in well enough for them, as Jay had a great pass rush.
Welcome to where the competition is all at boys. You did good, don’t feel ashamed of yourselves at all. Your the first Rye team to take the step up and play in the toughest class in Rye history.
I think it’s extroardinary for a school to lose a heartbreaker like that in a section playoff game, and jump at the chance to schedule a game against a tough AA school the following week . When you think about it, Rye went from B to A to AA (by their own choice) all in one year. Well done, and congrats to JJEF on the victory.
Rye-JJEF was a physical battle. I came away very impressed with Jay. Very Big team, good backs, just a good team all around. Rye definetley missed their big tackles though, so honestly, you cant make a fair comparison between the teams. But JJEF looked a little bit better tonight.
Hoops Fan:
Harrison/White Plains is one I’d like to see as well.
Hoops,
Told you this before, JJEF is a VERY good team. Tied for best in AA North, do not care what their record shows. If you seen JJEF and Arlington play, you would agree. JJEF size became too much for Rye by the sounds of it.
Dutchess,
enrollment definitely matters. Remember JJEF LOST to the schools with over 2000 enrollment(New Ro North Rock and Arlington). Your telling me if JJEF had an additional 1000 kids, (approx 500 more boys), there chance of beating a NEW Ro or a North Rock does not increase? Come on.
Plus, if Rye had an additional 500 students( approx 250 more boys), maybe 5 to 10 can play some ball and who knows what happens tonight.
At some point size does matter( I have altered my original “Size Matters”).
#44 for JJEF is a player on both sides of the ball. Next year Super 11!
Idiot Hoops Fan Strikes Again….
Once more in the true spirit of saying anything he wants to get his idiotic points across Chubby Checker speaks….saying that JJ didn’t play teams on their “own level” like Suffern…..CHUBBY….John Jay beat Suffern 42-7…thats 42-7 Chubby you self absorbed moron.
JJ lost 14-7 to North Rockland and 21-14 to New Rochelle…I believe they are the AA finalists. I think that means Rye is fairly competitive with the big boys.
Maybe Stepinac would be competitive with the CHSAA big boys…but we’ll never know…they don’t play any of them.
JJ led Rye 21-7 in this one before Rye cut it to 21-14 just before the half then got thwarted after once again driving inside the JJ five in the final seconds before the half. On the opening drive of the second half, with Eck, Rye drove to the JJ nine , and had an alley oop pass intercepted on 1st down. Eck never re-entered the game supposedly receiving a concussion on a roughing the passer call during that opening drive of the third.
Yes, Levinson and Vitiello did not play due to illness and a concussion respectably, but the players that did play did a great job filling in . Charlie Rollins played every single play at OT/DT and was great throughout. Jake Meyerson the sophomore back-up to Eck did a super job under very difficult circumstances while at the helm.
John Jay was by far the best team Rye faced all year and the Garnets had very little success against them on the ground. Rye did throw the ball well though.
I was very disappointed in the small crowd at Rye for the game. This team and this group of outstanding coaches deserved much more support than it got tonight. I really think that the Rye underclassmen who got a chance to participate in this game will be better for it in the long run…and the great seniors like Rollins,McCormack, Storino and Nagle. You guys are winners.
As for Kevin…Rye is only 17 kids over the B limit. When they hang in there with a really good AA team like the Patriots…..you don’t think it is appropriate for him to say something about a kid who threw for about 200 yds. in the first half getting knocked out of the game? How many times has the idiotic Chubby Checker mentioned a certain Iona QB being out as the reason Iona has been getting crushed? Isn’t it funny that Chubby wants a ” straight recap” when Rye loses, but cries like a chbby little baby whenever it’s Iona Prep? When Iona loses by 40 to a team that only lost to another NJ Catholic by 14…thats great! When Rye loses by 7 to a team that lost to New Rochelle by 7 well that only means Rye can’t compete…this year…or ever with AA.
Rye CONGRATS for having BA$$$ to step up and play with the big boys. Could care less about the out come, you guys are due all the RESPECT!!!!!!!!!
Thanx to JJEF for coming down to rye and congrats on playing a great game and for a good win. A well coached team with a good all-around game. #64 I think for JJ had to be one of the biggest guys I’ve seen play!
Great effort Rye having to step up and play w/o two starting tackles.
Glad the seniors on both teams were able to get one more game in this season and good luck to you!!!
Jim
Not trying to start an argument but I believe you should leave Iona Prep out of your argument- Yes Iona did get hammered by Bergen Catholic. But as we now have seen by them losing by a touchdown to maybe the top team in the country in Don Bosco, Bergen Catholic is easily one of the top teams in the East. Also with Jeff Mack back in the lineup after being out for the last 4 games it gives Iona some hope in the CHSFL AAA playoffs. It might be premature to bury Iona until they are eliminated.
I attended the game tonight and it was one of the smaller crowds that I have seen at a Rye game- Maybe the weird time or the fact that the SAT’s are tomorrow.
Some points on the game were that Rye really did handle the physical play of JJEF in the second half- They had a nice 4th down stand that kept the game within a TD. I thought Brian Pickup was a matchup nightmare for the small corners on John Jay. Pickup had a monster breakout game. Also I thought Rye went away from McCormack too early in the game. If Rye scores right before the half it would have changed the complexion of the game. The young QB also received some good experience.
John Jay EF has a very nice team which shows the quality of Class AA North- That league is strong from top to bottom-
On the whole it was quality intersectional game.
Jim,
Seriously, are you not taking some medicine you’ve been prescribed? Your posts to me get more and more deranged as they go. Take a step back. Read what I wrote first. Then read your way over the top response. If an outside observer read my posts above first and then read yours, the words “idiot” and “moron” that you like to use so much wouldn’t be pointed in my direction. Its as if you’re responding to a totally different blogger. 95% of the stuff you supposedly write in response to me is some weird distortion of what I wrote in the first place – not even close to what I actually said. Did you read me in any place put down Rye? Have you ever read me put down Rye or any other team? I gave Rye a lot of credit for playing a very good AA school (apparently for the first time in school history according to Garnet10580).
What I did write that apparently made you go nut is now that Rye lost to a AA team with 4 AA losses (and I was wrong, I incorrectly thought JJEF hadn’t played WP and Suffern, apparently they did play and blow out Suffern – not a big difference from the original intent) that maybe all the “Rye could be the best team in the Section regardless of class”-talk would stop for awhile. I never said Rye couldn’t be competitive or stay on the same field with the better teams in Section 1. As a matter of fact, I’ve said that I think Rye could be competitive with most of the better AA schools. There’s a big difference between “could be competitive with most AA schools” and “could be the best team in Section 1 regardless of class”, right?
somers score?
whew, sounds like a less than typical friday night at Rye…hopefully the qb is not seriously hurt,because that would be so terrible and even a concussion would be awful…it didn’t need to happen…best wishes to the Rye qb, and Dino & co. should be ashamed of themselves…to put these kids out there (when it is rumored most did not want to play) for nothing more than to prove what? who knows…another season is in the books for rye…wonder how many more seasons Dino will be part of it? hmmm one can only hope….
Rye hung tough with very good,well coached JJEF team.Rye played to win,but JJ’s size proved to be too much for the Garnets to handle.Also #44 was a standout player in all respects.Eck also had outstanding game.Rye wraps up the season 6-3 and gets an education of what its like to play in the big leagues,a far and away contrast to previous seasons.
Jim
What do you have against the Iona Prep Football program?- In case you are not aware both Rye and Iona Prep Football programs have a great relationship as both teams attend each others camps in June and July. The players from each side have tremendous respect for each other and want each team to do well in thier respective leagues.
It was uncalled for to take some underhanded shots at Iona for their early season struggles against some very very good teams like St. Anthony and Bergen Catholic. Last week with most of their team back healthy and of course their best player Jeff Mack back they beat a historically vey good Farrell team 35 -0 which knocked Farrell out of the playoffs. Iona still has a chance to defend the CHSFL AAA championship that I was a part of.
Best of luck to the Rye Garnet Football program in the future.
somers won 27-13
Jim,
I was going to make an attempt to answer your points directly, but as I read your post again it just seemed like a garbled mismash of nonsense. I’ll just make a couple quick points.
1)I’ve never said anything close to ‘Rye can’t compete’ with AA schools. In fact, I’ve often said they could beat the lower tier AAs and be competitive with the middle/upper tier ones. I just don’t think Rye could beat a New Ro or No Rock – thats my opinion and I think its pretty reasonable.
2) Why bring Iona into this? Iona is on a different planet in terms of competition from Rye at this point, so there is no need for you or any other Rye fans to talk about Iona.
3) And if you’re going to say something about Stepinac, could you please for once say something accurate. Everytime you mention Stepinac in one of your posts you find some new fact to create and to be 100% wrong about – its pathetic. You said some nonsense about Stepinac not playing the “big boys of the CHSFL”? Stepinac played in the CHSFL AAA last year and finished I believe at .500. They’ll most likely be in the CHSFL AAA again next year. This year playing in the AA, they’ll still likely face 2,3 or4 AAA teams, plus White Plains. Last year, Stepinac lost a head-to-head matchup with the CHSFL champion by (I believe) 10 points – I think that would be considered playing the big boys.
Why wasn’t Somers Ossining covered?
Rye fans,stop making excuses for a loss,and end the season with some dignity.The competition and level of play in A is no comparison to B.Anybody you talk to will tell you the 09 Garnets were a very good team,in every respect.Its just a fact that the competition is better.Btw,Rye did played all out tonight.Congrats to both teams for one of the best games I’ve seen all season.
I don’t know but Somers won 27-13.
Any score from the Mamk/PC game?
rye is a great team and they did a great job this year in class A. I thought they would lose 4 games and i only believe as the years go by they will be better and better in class A. They belong in class A not class B
Hey Jim,
you are a dope. rye has no chance vs the better AA teams in section 1. and less chance against iona or any other top chsaa teams.
now take your laxative and go to bed. try to learn to be humble in defeat, you know-it-all troublemaker. you are not funny and sound very, very, bitter.
Great year Rye ,we are all very proud of the great run you guys had this year and the previous back to back championship rings .As always The boys did everything the coaches asked them to do this year,cant blame the boys for leading the entire game until 8 seconds to go ending in a loss.Lets also not forget that last years opponant in the championship game was Oneida who was Class A the year before and moved down. As you all know Rye continues to be one of the best programs in New York, any class. Poughkeepsie is very fortunate to be playing tomorrow.I hope they win it all .
I don’t think Jim has nothing against Iona. You guys are being ignorant to the point he’s making. Perhaps, bitter and easily offended.
Look what jim says-
“Isn’t it funny that Chubby wants a ” straight recap” when Rye loses, but cries like a chbby little baby whenever it’s Iona Prep? When Iona loses by 40 to a team that only lost to another NJ Catholic by 14…thats great! When Rye loses by 7 to a team that lost to New Rochelle by 7 well that only means Rye can’t compete…this year…or ever with AA.”
I agree with the logic here. Dont be offended by the truth.
The way Rye played JJEF all banged up and inside the 10 twice with no score, You have to give credit where it’s due to a school that is only 17 players over the B limit…Amazing.
Rye can Play with anyone. But the cup Cake B days are over!!!!
Clearly Rye can play with the top AA teams, just not win AA. In my opinion Rye is the best team in class A, POK got very lucky, and Rye already proved how much better they are than Roosevelt. Lets Just Rye has their two starting OT’s for his game, and the come in more hyped to play, this game would have gone down to the wire.
nobody wanted to play
dino needed to reassure himself and everyone else his team could compete with anyone, even if it meant playing a banged up group of guys agianst a AA team.
He was wrong.
PC/Mamaroneck Game- Port Chester won 14-7
Powerhouse
You get my point. I am not taking any shots at Iona…only Chubby Checker. No one on this blog twists facts so consistantly to make a point. I know what a good team Iona has, my point was how Chubby spins quaterback injuries to suit his purpose… how Chubby will use it as an excuse on one of his rants….then not want to hear about it on his next rant. I am not attacking Iona…I am attacking what Chubby writes about Iona…..he writes about how great Iona is because of their difficult schedule…then says Stepinac is better.
Iona
You are probably right about me being a dope.If you think I’m bitter…you are totally wrong. I always come on here and say what’s on my mind. I NEVER came on this site saying Rye would beat the top AA teams in Section 1, and I don’t make comments about CHSAA teams on Long Island and in the city that I know nothing about. Tonight I saw a good Rye team that was very competitive against a good AA team. I have seen great Rye teams, great Harrison teams and great Nyack teams that could have beat very good AA teams…great AA teams?Probably not. I also don’t need a laxative…all I need to do is read what Chubby writes
CARMEL BEAT UP SUFFEREN 34 7 WITH MOST OF THE SECOND TEAM PLAYING SECOND HALF.ROCKLAND FOOTBALL LOOKS VERY WEAK BY THE WAY, SHILLING DOES NOT HAVE ROTATOR INJURY HURT YES ..HOW MANY OF SUPER 11 WERE HURT THIS YEAR JUST CURIOUS
Why all of a sudden these “NEW” blog names we have never seen before, coming out attacking Jim and supporting Iona?
Looks more like ONE guy using different blog names to attack JIM. But who knows maybe the Iona faithful are coming back to the blog. If I had to bet, I would pick the former, not the ladder.
This is not an attack on Hoops or Iona Power, because I do respect both of their opinions, though Hoops is tough to debate with and seems to get the ire of the blog( I have been in his position before MANY times). He uses some tricks that I have seen used on other blogs. Is it twisting? Close, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt.
Jim,
you are not going to want to hear this, but my advice would be just to move on. I am fairly new to blogging, and I certainly should have followed my own advice at times. You, on the other hand, seem to have been here from the get go and are well respected by guys who are well respected on this blog. No one seems to know Rye like you do.
I think most of us who are on here daily get it. YOU DO NOT LIKE HOOPS!
You do have to fight your fight and YOU decide when you do not want to fight it any longer.
This just my opinion. It may be time to let it go!
Just a Fact
If you read my post I clearly was not attacking Jim- I stated that Iona Prep Football should not be involved in his argument with Hoops Fan- I also felt he made some backhanded slights at the program. It seems like people do have a problem with Iona and look the other way when some backhanded slights are thrown their way which is fine. But when that happens I am going to come on here and defend the program I support in a professional manner. I am sure many people are hoping that Iona gets beat in the CHSFL AAA Quarterfinals against St. Joes of Staten Island so they can come on this board and rip them to pieces.
Fan,
if DiMarsico plays for Suffern, game would have been very different.
I know Mountie Hoops likes to plug the WR on Suffern, but come on. The guy I was reading about week in and week out, when Suffern was winning was DiMarsico. 100+ yards here, a 100 yards+ there. I wish maxpreps had up to date stats then I would post them here so you can see how good this kid really is and more importantly, what DiMarsico meant to the team.
Iona Power,
as a former New Rochellean, and who has played against one of the coaches there, you guys will always have my respect and best wishes. Good luck today!
last night was a very good game, jay is a very good football team. they were a catch away from being the north 3 peat league champs. their record does not indicate that . for rye they were a good team but jay was too physical for them i follow jay for a while now, the rye qb is the best qb that they have seen in 3 years . definately a next level qb . that was great for coach walsh to reach out to coach garr and set up a game .what a great place to play a game . awsome atmosphere , jay played this year every top team in aa and a and hung in there. a was in every game . both teams played with lots of class , GOOD LUCK TO BOTH TEAMS.
Jim,
Name one fact that I’ve twisted on this blog or any other? Name one legitimate thing I’ve “twisted” and I will never question Rye as the best team in Section 1 regardless of class ever again – that is after all what makes you so angry at what I say obviously.
I’m getting sick of your deranged rants. You don’t “twist” things I say, you create them from scratch. You never actually offer a fact or quote something I say, you just make up new things – much easier that way I guess.
In all your anger and hysteria you seem to miss that we seem to actually agree that Rye could play with most AA teams. I’ve said that all year. The difference is I don’t think Rye could beat the best AA teams. I don’t know a single non-Rye fan who disagrees with me. You don’t think Rye could beat New Ro either – so what is your disagreement with what I said?
You seemed to lose your cool when I said Rye lost to JJEF who is a very good AA team, but finished 4-4 with all four losses to AA schools. 4-4 isn’t exactly a dominant team, very good – yes, but not an elite AA team. Losing a close game is commendable, but its not the same as winning (just reference Charlie Weis if you doubt me). And this might finally limit the handful of Rye fans who like to say Rye is the best team in the section regardless of class (based on their class B titles).
Lastly, you made this ridiculous point about Iona – their schedule and their QB being injured. I never brought up Iona, but you seem to have diarrhea of the fingers when it comes to Iona and Stepinac, so I’ll address your weak points.
1) I’ve never made an excuse in my life that a team that lost a game, should’ve won for any reason. I’ve also never said because Iona lost to Bergen Catholic who only lost to Don Bosco by a TD that therefore Iona is great. Never. What I did say is that Bergen Catholic, St Anthony’s, SJBS and HOly Trinity are all in the ESPN Tri-state Top 10 which makes Iona’s schedule remarkable. Their 5th loss was to Holy Cross who is right out of the Top 10 as Honorable Mention. I’ve never said Iona is great because of their tough schedule – but comparing Iona and their schedule to a Section 1 team and their schedule is a quite futile.
Circumstances can change that could effect the outcomes of a game at times, but thats part of life. Injuries happen, bad calls happen, dropped passes happen. Certain Rye fans (not saying you on this point) have an excuse for every loss this year…the layoff before Eastchester hurt them…they were “robbed” on the 4th down play vs. Eastchester…Poughkeepsie was in illegal motion…the 3rd pass interference call was bogus vs. Pok…now its the two injured linemen vs JJEF…or Eck going down in the third…or very tactfully its that the kids didn’t really want to play vs. JJEF. I’ve never heard the fans of one football team come up with more excuses every time their team loses. Coach Garr with his comments after the Pok loss didn’t help things.
2) Let’s understand the difference between a player sitting out an entire game and a player leaving the game early. Example, if Jeff Mack sits out vs. Holy Trinity we have no way of knowing how Iona would’ve done in the game. Logically, we would think it could be a closer game. No one did or would say that Iona would’ve won with Mack – its an impossible and unintelligent comment to make about any player/game. But there is a distinct difference if a player plays in a game and leaves early. In the case yesterday, Eck played into the 3rd quarter and left the game down 21-14 – which ended up as the final score. Hard to say the outcome would’ve been much different because the score was exactly the same as when he left, right? Would he have improved their chances playing in the 4th, of course, but that can’t be an excuse for losing. When Woodson-Samuels left the Iona-Holy Cross game early this year, Iona was up 42-21 in the 4th qtr. The team collapsed with him out and lost 49-42. Iona fans could’ve had a much larger gripe about losing a QB in the game that affected the outcome than Rye fans had last night – but I don’t recall any serious Iona fans griping that they would’ve won with Woodson in the game – thats just how football works sometimes.
Just a fact,
Believe me I hear what you’re saying and the last thing in the world I want to do is end up in discussion with “Jim” – he seems creepy and disturbed whenever he discusses Iona, Stepinac or me. When he discusses Rye he seems like a cuddly, old sage. He is incapable of making a fair point or of using any type of facts or quotes of what I’ve said – he just makes stuff up as he goes along.
I would love to figure out a way to be able to make a comment without Jim chiming in with some borderline insane retort. Can you help me understand exactly which facts he thinks I’m “twisting”, so I can at least be aware of where he’s coming from?
Hoops,
all I know about three weeks ago, you two were going at it like cats and dogs. To be honest I read some of the comments, but I really did not know what set you guys off.
Which to me is fine. I have had drawn out battles with people as well. At some point, I let the person have the last word and just move on.
Back to football.
In regards to the Class AA vs. Class A argument:
10960, I did not want to say I told you so back in August, but guess what…............I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!!!!!
Class AA is big brother and Class A is little brother. cased closed!!!!!!!!!!!!(for this year anyway)
Thought I would get the ire of the blog this morning with Championship weekend upon us.
Alright, give it to me!!!!!!!!!!
Way to many excuses all the way around. Rye banged up missing two linemen,17 player above B class….look, JJEF had two starter out, heck arguably their best D lineman at NG not even there and they lost another to the ambulance in 2QTR, last week Suffern had guys banged up missing stud RB so JJEF 42-6 win wasnt anything special according to many (even Kevin seems to like to down play the success by pointing these things out in his recaps)
Last night I saw a great HS football game by two teams that showed up to compete. If you watch that game and still say either one of those teams didn’t want ot play you are out of your minds. For some of you its time to really instill the value of competing hard and rising to the occaision in these kids. I can’t believe some of you need to constantly baby some of these kids with “its OK, they are a big bad AA team” or “you guys had two guys hurt dont worry” I came away from that game so impressed with the RYE players AND THE COMMUNITY and the level of intesity and performance that the JJEF players delivered because BOTH TEMAS ALL COMPETED BASED ON PRIDE. Yes, MANY players were dinged and banged up ON BOTH SIDES, heck its the 9th game of a HS football season. Missing two lineman???? dont throw the kids who gutted it out in their place under the bus. Its 11 vs 11. Same thing with Suffern, down last week 42-0 with 6 min to go in the 2nd qtr and those kids came out and gave 100% in the 2nd half. If its done right the 2-3 year HS athletic carrer (a fraction of their lives) is one of the best opportunities to teach life. Unless you are going to sit in their cube at work in 6 years and intervien when their boss challenges them,let them play, stand, cheer encourage and support the efforts. Sometimes people get more out of the council of tip your hat they earned, next time you go get it back; than nice try you were under manned OR worse, you should have never had to play that game. From the visitors side, Rye you have a great program and a great team full of competators and gamers. Great season. Patriots, GREAT SEASON and way to compete from start to finish, you guys were great to watch.
here comes Hoops Fan starting trouble again. Jim I am glad you called him out. You are 100% right in your posts and his twisting of data to make the CHSAA look great. It is old news and his responses are so annoying. Iona Prep is getting connected to this clown and its not fair to posters like Iona Power.
Hoops fan you have by far won the most hated blogger award this year. Congrats. Now everybody here comes a response that is longer than the bible.
Go NORTH ROCKLAND!
Just a fact,
The whole disagreement with Jim and I doesn’t even really involve Rye directly. Jim seems strongly not to like all the attention Stepinac and Iona get on these blogs and in Kevin’s rankings and constantly make snide put downs of each program. It seems odd coming from a Rye fan – why bother with Stepinac or Iona, but thats just the way he thinks. Jim, who apparently went to Stepinac for a couple years in the early 60’s and has some latent disgruntled benchwarmer grudge against his football coach in those years – decided to start making all these negative comments about Stepinac’s football program. Most of what he said was just nonsense and bs, so I objected to his statements and offered some facts that may correct his 45 year old opinions/memories. Of course, Jim didn’t disagree with the facts I presented him – he didn’t even comment on them, he just seemed to ignor them and make up new stuff. Jim’s only opinions about Stepinac are literally from the 1960’s and I object to him or anyone else making statements that just flat out aren’t true.
One of Jim’s great contradictions was involving New Ro. Jim liked to say Stepinac’s football team was a joke during the 60’s. I disagreed. One of the main references I could use was what Stepinac did against New Ro in their yearly game back then. During the 60’s I can remember Stepinac beating New Ro I believe three times, tying once and I’ve heard that they didn’t play at least one year. New Ro and White Plains were probably the most consistently strong Section 1 programs during the 60’s, so if Stepinac finished 3-4-1 or 3-5-1 against New Ro during the 60’s it would be a pretty fair showing – hardly a “joke” as Jim liked to refer to it. Jim’s response was that New Ro was weak back then (which is completely news to me) and that they also lost to Scarsdale and Portchester during the 60’s. Thats fine, except Jim’s memory must be good enough to know that Portchester and Scarsdale each had undefeated large school county championship teams in the late 60’s, I think ‘67 and ‘69 respectively. So his comment about losing to Scarsdale and PC were more than a little disengenous. If New Ro lost to the undefeated county champion, that doesn’t exactly make them weak. Jim makes ridiculous points like these, then accuses me of “twisting” things – more than a little hypocritical to me.
I don’t want to take sides here but Hoops Fan does have a point about you Jim. Your always putting down other teams. It’s not right, and you should stop it. Don’t make excuses period. When you lose you can’t do anything about it. Your team lost FAIRLY. I heard excuses from Rye fans against Eastchester that Rye had gotten in. I heard them against POK that they started before the snap, that TJ wasn’t 100%, that it was the coaches fault, that the refs won them the game. Now I hear it about JJEF? Yes your team could have been a little banged up, but guess what, so was there’s. You think Rye plays a brutal schedule? Take a look at there’s. They had more heart, they wanted it more, and they played better. Thats all that matters.
Rye is a great team, but some of you fans just ruin it. I am amazed at what Rye has done this year. Like I said before this is the first time in history that a Rye team stepped it up to where the real boys are and gave EVERY SINGLE team a scare. Good Job Rye! Looking forward to watching you play at Mahopac next year.
I would like to see Somers play Rye that would be a very interesting game.I watched Rye play against pok they have a great line.Would like see how they do against somers very quik athletic defence. would like to see deiana and mccormack on the same field, 2 of the best backs in the section.by the way somers beat ossining last night no coverage that really sucks.2 teams that have played some of the best games section 1 has seen over the last few years.
SOMERS 8 – 1 STILL NO RESPECT.maybe if pok wins section views will change.congrats to Somers players and coaches .after pok they didnt quit and beat 2 good football teams THEY SHOWED ALOT OF HEART.
Let’s Be Honest:
Don’t put the csrt too far before the horse. Remember what Satch Paige said, “don’t look back, someone might be gaining on you”. That “someone” may finally be the Huskies. Oughta be interesting!
Beentheredonethat:
On who’s authority do you have it that the Rye players didn’t want to be there last night, and that Dino was using them to make a point? Seems like the reason they scheduled this game is that the Lakeland people backed down and didn’t want any part of them (as 1 blogger pointed out, pretty gutless when you consider that a totally injury-decimated Harrison team decided to play Lakeland in a meaningless game at year’s end a few years ago). If I were to bet on it, I would guess every last one of those kids was behind Dino and wanted a shot at a good AA team like JJEF. And to suggest the team or town will throw Dino under the bus? Think you can explain?
This is the truth about the Rye situation.
Rye would have probably had another one of their perfect seasons if they remained in B. The win over Harrison and a walk through section 1 class B would have had them poised for another state title. Not taking anything away from what they have accomplished over the years but A is a different story.
Being “only” 17 players over the limit is irrelevant. Whenever there is a limit someone is on the good side of it and someone is on the bad side.
The injuries are part of every team in every leagues problem, but are more frequent in the bigger leagues. Larger, faster players create more opportunities for injury and if you move up in class you need to be able to fill the voids and continue playing. When you look at what makes a program successful you will notice that they dont miss a beat when one guy goes down with injury. It is ridiculous to even discuss the “what ifs” with regard to injuries.
The people from Rye have great pride and have come to expect alot from their football team and I respect that. I just think they need to be more realistic with their expectations and not feel the need to rationalize every loss. Rye will be a very good A team every year. They work hard and are well coached. They will win the section championship and will compete for a state title again. It just may take some time.
As for now they are just another good class A team. Good enough for most communities but not for the fans in Rye. I feel bad for the kids that read this stuff and feel they are inadequate because in the eyes of their fans they didn’t reach the high standards that have been established for Rye football.
My congratulations to the Rye players and coaching staff.
go deep,
Can you or Jim name one thing that I’ve “twisted”? Its very easy to accuse someone of doing that – but it seems quite difficult for either of you to actually explain when or how I’ve done it. It would actually give some meaning behind all of your usually useless words.
The pot is now calling the kettle black. Now he is saying that I called Stepinac’s program a joke in the 1960’s….ha ha..twist Chubby twist. I said (weeks ago) that Stepinac’s program is not in the same stratisphere as New Rochelle, White Plains, Harrison, Rye, Dobbs Ferry etal through the years. I stand by that. That’s my opinion, right wrong or indifferent. My problem with Chubby isn’t with his opinions….I’m not going to change my opinion about something when the old preditor dangles a candy bar and says something nice about Rye…it’s when he says “Rye was the biggest Class B team in the State” when they won the championship when they were the third biggest in their own league. To be more recent…like just over the last few days…it’s about him not wanting to know that one of the top QB’s in Section 1 was knocked out of a game after writing volumes about another QB being knocked out of a game. His explanation this morning is to say the least…bizarre. He says that the score was 21-14 at the time and the score stayed the same…that means that it didn’t effect Rye last night. You know the old peppermint twister doesn’t really mean that….but he’ll use that to twist logic. Chubby…the QB plays offense. If he threw for around 200 yds. in a little over a half…you don’t think him being out affected the Rye attack in the 2nd half? It’s not even a little bit possible that they could have scored again with him in the game? While trying to under state how good John Jay is, he neglected to say that they lost by 7 to New Rochelle,3 to Carmel, 3 to Arlington and 7 in a playoff game at North Rockland…all tight games they were in to the end and could have won. Instead he says that JJ didn’t even play schools on their “level” like Suffern…who by the way they beat 42-6. Those are “twists” Chubby and you are the ultimate twister. You have been trying desperately to pin me down as a disgruntled early 1960’s bench warmer who attended Stepinac. You have written that so many times that I am affraid you are actually at the point that you believe it…it’s called being dellusional….I see you more as Inspector Dryfus (Clousseau’s boss in the Pink Panther)...sitting in a padded cell with a laptop that the priests on Mamaroneck Avenue brought you on visiting day. I’d rather have splinters in my butt. EVERYTHING you write has distorted data to support what you are currently spewing…you are a stale hot cross bun Chubby. Ta ta.
Just a fact,
Big brother beat up on little brother. I give you that.
Rye is more like baby brother with 2 broken thumbs that still took it to one of the stronger big brothers!!!
(though injury is part of the big leagues LOL)
At the end of the day….As for 2009….. You proved your point!!! You held your tongue very well for a long time I give you credit LOL.
Look I just want everyone to understand that the size of the school isn’t always the X-factor. It’s more like the size of the roster in which a big school has a better advantage, yet a small school can puull off a 50 man squad as well.
Jim,
You called Stepinac’s program a “joke” in the 60’s several times. Now you deny it?? Thats how our whole discussion got started.
I waste so much time responding to your foolish comments. To say Stepinac’s program is not in the same stratosphere as New Ro, White Plains, Harrison, Rye and Dobbs Ferry – thats also a pretty ridiculous, inaccurate statement. Ask a White Plains fan if they think Stepinac is in the same stratosphere as them? The answer will be yes, particularly given Stepinac’s 3 year winning streak. I would agree that White Plains over the past 35 years or so has been better more years than not against Stepinac (I think they lead the Turkey Bowl about 12-25 or so) – but different stratosphere – thats insane. During the Ray Rice years New Ro was on a different stratosphere than any Section 1 teams, since the Ray Rice years Stepinac has been right up there with New Rochelle – don’t believe me reference their similar results vs. White Plains and Kevin’s Top 10 rankings. Harrison, Rye and Dobbs Ferry have all been great vs. their Class B and Class C Section 1 competition. They’ve certainly won more games through the years than Stepinac vs. their CHSFL competition, but I doubt either Harrison, Rye or Dobbs Ferry would be able to beat Stepinac more than occasionally at most head to head (I’m sure Harrison would’ve won head to head w/ Maldonado) – and definitely not recently.
Regarding Eck leaving the game in the 3rd qtr, I said, “Would he have improved their chances playing in the 4th, of course, but that can’t be an excuse for losing.” If you actually read what I wrote before you start making stuff up it would be healthy. Every impartial observer on this blog seems to notice all the excuses certain Rye fans make everytime they lose – I’ve never seen another team’s fans make so many excuses after every loss.
I’m surprised so little talk about the Somers/Ossining game. Somers completely dominated Ossining for the entire game. Dienna is a beast, Ossining had no answer. It looked like it might be a game early, but Ossining had a long touchdown called back and never recovered. Somers has only let up 33 points all year. I guess Coach D and his boys have now proven themselves beating the top two teams from the west.
Hoops fan and Jim,
I love to read everyones comments and you guys have a very interesting debate going on but you need to be more concise. Your posts are just way too long!!! My eyes are killing me now LOL.
If this were on paper no problem but on a computer screen this is brutal!!!
Pleasantville 32 Magnus 6
Great effort to finish, team played with pride!
Robinson 3 TD passes, 1 rushing TD
Bramswig 2 TD receptions
Morra 1 rushing TD
P’ville very exciting to watch all season!
Hoops fan,
I know that its been said that veteran bloggers have some kind of alliance but I can assure you that I’m not taking sides.
With that said, how do you respond to Jims comment that says, “While trying to under state how good John Jay is, he neglected to say that they lost by 7 to New Rochelle,3 to Carmel, 3 to Arlington and 7 in a playoff game at North Rockland…all tight games they were in to the end and could have won. Instead he says that JJ didn’t even play schools on their “level” like Suffern…who by the way they beat 42-6. Those are “twists”.”
Thats an extroadinary point
Hoops fan,
You say, “During the Ray Rice years New Ro was on a different stratosphere than any Section 1 teams.”
Just want to know how do you explain them losing to White Plains.
Jim,
You said,”Stepinac’s program is not in the same stratisphere as New Rochelle, White Plains, Harrison, Rye, Dobbs Ferry etal through the years. I stand by that”
I don’t doubt your statement but….. White Plains?
oh brother here comes the professor
10960,
I’m not debating your questioning or comments but this is how WW3 gets started!!!
10960,
Your first point is a good one. Jim said I was trying to “under state” how good JJEF is. I said over and over they were a “very good” AA team. How much more do you need me to say? It is completely true they were 4-4 and lost to 4 AA teams – is that twisting of facts? Its called the truth. Yes, their losses were close ones, thats why I called them “very good” and not “mediocre.” If their four losses were by larger #’s I think “mediocre” would be more fitting to a 4-4 team. Do you disagree with any of that?
The comment about teams on their level is totally absurd. I made a mistake, I thought JJEF and Suffern hadn’t played – thats it. White Plains is the one team on JJEF’s level (in my opinion) that JJEF didn’t play, that was the point of my statement. Obviously, no teams around here get to pick their opponents.
10960,
Yes I remember New Ro losing to White Plains with Spencer Ridenhour during the Ray Rice years. Using the term “different stratosphere” is an absurd hyperbole. I didn’t start the terminology, Jim did. New Ro was the best team in Section 1 during Ray Rice’s Jr and Sr year. If you take offense to my use of “different stratosphere” then I’m sure you’re take offense to Jim’s use of it, right?
Can anyone here get a list of the top A teams this decade?
10960,
I just noticed your last statement. You don’t doubt Jim’s statement that Stepinac is not in the same stratosphere as new Ro, White Plains, Harrison, Rye or Dobbs Ferry? Are you serious? Not sure if you’ve noticed Stepinac finished #3 in the Top 10 last year and advanced to the finals of the CHSFL AA playoffs. The previous year they finished #3 as well and won the CHSFL AA title. This year they are 8-0 and ranked #2. They’ve beaten White Plains 3 years in a row by similar spreads as New Ro has. Any comparisons between Stepinac and Harrison/Rye/Dobbs Ferry are useless due to the different quality of opponents most years. All that being said, I do give Rye a lot of credit for competing well in their first year in Class A and taking on a AA opponent that they didn’t have to. But in general, there is no comparison.
19060
This is just a side comment – I’m certainly not getting in the middle of the larger debate – but you asked a great question about how New Rochelle could have lost to White Plains that year 7-6. That’s a question still being discussed at NRHS among avid followers.
In my opinion New Rochelle really didn’t hit their stride that season till the playoffs began. On October 25 they beat a tough #4 Carmel 26-7 then proceeded to defeat 5 undefeated teams. #1 JJcr 42 – 0 , North Rockland in the Sectional finals19-8, NFA and Shehendohowa, up at Kingston 24-12 and 14-7 and Webster S. in the dome.
How in the world did the topic of convo get to Stepinac?? Considering the updates were about rye-jjef and the d-league final Iona and Stepinac get thrown in even if we’re discussing favorite types of music eh boys?
And enrollment does matter…maybe not to EVERY team. Some teams have tryouts on their squads to have a set number. If a school has an extra 1000 kids (500 boys) that group of children can produce maybe another 25 potential athletes that could help the team. Some teams don’t cut, and if thats the case, another 25 kids to the team adds depth and additional talent. Rye hung in there with a AA team-even I will give kudos to that. To be B, then A, then play a AA team all in one season is pretty tough.
And to the football fan maybe the CHSFL and the Public League seem very similar and tend to not drastically differ, but when you compare other sports you can see the CHSAA does have some talent and great teams come out. Dont believe me? go to one of the Non-big-4 sports and see what comes up…Iona and Stepinac go to County Championships in other sports and actually do extremely well, even winning a title or award or two. Looking at the trophies and plaques in a school’s showcase can give you a hint of the sucess they have…but by just reading a blog like this people tend to think they know it all…
the bright side is those kids in Rye/Other schools who come up short and are in winter sports can actually start practice on time when the section starts winter sports. Usually a team in the state tourney or one that reaches the finals at Syracuse must have athletes rest a week before doing a winter sport. Considering sports start about now-or in a week-thats about 2-3 weeks behind when you throw in the week away. And some of those athletes are even better in other sports, so its always better to look at the bright side.
oh and congrats are to Valhalla…they were going to fold up this past summer, but this league they set up has helped them keep numbers, produce winning football, and it wont be long before Valhalla can join Dobbs and Bronxvile to renew the old Class D battles.
10960,
had to gloat a little. I think we have fine tuned what enrollment really does for schools in other threads. No need to repeat it.
You really got to hand it to Rye, again could care less about the score(and this is a repeat comment), MAN, DOES THAT PROGRAM HAVE A SET OF BA$$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Garnet players and the coaches have moved way up on my list after this season. To anyone who cannot respect what they did this year, just from a schedule stand point, then you are just a PURE HATER adn there is no hope for you!
And a new streak starts for the Garnets. Two losses in a row…at home.
GO GARNETS!!!
It’s all about adding the spin. making statements that are not false yet they are misleading.
When it comes down to the bottom line
CHSFL schedules are much more difficult than section 1 schedules.
however, Iona wasn’t good this year.
Section 1 schools represent their communities better than CHSFL schools, they’re public schools for crying out loud, how could they not?
CHSFL gets better national recognition.
Section 1 has horrible coverage, but we can thank kevin devaney for atleast trying to change that.
Rye can play with the big dogs, lets face it…they can play with the best. If Lou Dirienzo or Joe Casserella knew they had to play Rye tomorrow, I’m sure they would take that serioous.
Rye lost to POK….. They just lost, speed kills.
Bigger schools have an advantage over smaller schools.
Smaller schools may still be able to compete with big schools.
The Albertus QB record didn’t come hard against lincoln.
demographics have no place in this blog.
Class A was up for grabs this year and much more exciting than double AA.
Double AA final is much more exciting than any other class.
Haldane contending for section chip at 0-7 is fairly a laughing matter.
Kevin devaney shows much evidence that he’s an Iona fan.
Somers really was good!!!
Jim and hoops fan, both make good sense, both intelligent posts, both need to bury the hatchet.
Just A fact made the blog worth while this year.
Donald Davis for Super 11 next year!!!
Speaking of super 11, lets try to have real super 11 caliber players this time. No offense to the ones that made it (too late for that).
Best double AA team of the decade New Rochelle (Statistically proven)
Best A team of the Decade Nyack
(Statistically proven)
Best B school of the decade RYE
(Statistically proven)
Best C school of the decade Dobbs ferry
(Statistically proven)
Best D school of the decade Tuckaho
(Statistically proven)
Best CHSFL team of the decade St. Anthonys
(Statistically proven)
that sums up the bulk of this years debates, lets all enjoy the NR vs. NR show tomorrow!!!!
Jim, Hoops F, etc.
Guy’s – You all seem to know a lot of interesting data points about your teams and these leagues. I think a number of us would appreciate it if you share those facts and stop getting so caught up in the back and forth of arguing the nuances of your views. You made your points, move on. I would appreciate you sharing more about the upcoming games of the teams you favor; what plays or players, in your view, are going to potentially be the game breakers, how will they do it? Peace ..
10960
You make some valid points as always but I need to add that you stated that “however, Iona wasn’t good this year”. Don’t bury them just yet.
Iona Prep is playing in the CHSFL AAA Quarterfinals against St. Joes with a healthy Jeff Mack who has been out for the last 4 games. The season is very much alive for Iona Prep. After beating a good Farrell team with Mack scoring 4 touchdowns Iona has a legit chance to successfully defend their title. Realistically they have to play mistake free football just too have a shot. I know they are the underdog because they have not played well enough this year to earn calling themselves the favorite.
Also I agree that Davis from Nyack should get serious consideration for Super 11. Very good player.
Does anyone feel they should play some of the regional playoff games for NYS at Michie Stadium instead of Dietz Stadium in Kingston.
What is everyones thought on this suggestion.
Hopefully we will see our area local teams do well against the upstate teams.
If Iona even plays a tight game thats enough to make a valid argument. We shall see.
Depth is also a signal that a team is very good. Who was the back up to Jeff mack?
I only seen Iona play once (MSG VARSITY Vs. Bergen)
Bergen sure made them look bad I gotta be honest.
NR vs. NR I’ll be there tomorrow
10960
You have to remember the CHSFL AAA uses a power point system to place teams based on level of play so in reality Iona Prep is the smallest school by a wide margin in this division. Schools like St. Anthony, St. Francis, Chaminade and Xaverian for example have probably more than 500 boys in their schools compared to Iona. If Section 1 followed the same philosophy you could have a division 1 North Rockland, Nyack , New Rochelle and maybe a Rye playing i the same division in a given year.
Sidney Weston was the back up RB- He started last year as a sophomore at LB so he is talented. he will be the running back next year.
Bergen Catholic turned out to be a lot better than expected-I went out to Ramsey NJ to see them against Don Bosco and it was a touchdown game with Bosco winning but Bergen was still very impressive for a team that has a lot of Sophs and Juniors playing beig roles.
H.S. Football Fans
I had the absolute pleasure of watching the JJEF/Rye game last night and have to say it was awesome.This game was about two teams that put it on the line and gave everything they had. It had nothing to do with standings or playoff berths it was about 2 solid programs playing the great game of football.
After the game it was about handshakes some hugs and alot of respect.I observed players from Rye and parents thanking the players from Jay for making the trip down and the Jay players thanking them for given them one last game. At least 3 teams turned down a game with Jay. Not Rye!!!! To coach Garr and your players Thank You.!!!
86 responses to Rye-JJ game…11 belong to Chubby…and he wasn’t even there. Chubby, I’m really sorry, but “Hoops Fan “could be male or female. I am not as good of a detective as you are. I always assumed you were of the masculine gender, now I’m not so sure. Were you one of the disgruntled Good Council girls that couldn’t make the cheerleading squad for the Stepinac games? They used to have those nice little routines that included a little twisting…is that why you twist so frequently now that you are in your golden years? Is it because some crusty old nun with a pocket full of hot cross buns wouldn’t let you shake your booty? BTW this is my fourth entry AND I was at the game last night.
As an Iona Prep fan who attended the Rye-JJEF game I thought it was a very well played game with both teams playing hard and clean-
It was one of the better games that I have seen all year.
Hey Jim,
this is my second post this thread. in my first post i asked that you take a laxative because you are so bitter. now i need to suggest that you consider a coffee or fruit juice enama tonight..you are still cranky and very constipated from what i can see…many people have asked you to calm down and bury the hatchet and contribute in a positive way without continuing your assault upon one individual blogger….
i think the enama will help you…try prune or cranberry juice?
10960,
thanks for the kind words, though I am sure undeserving. I will have an end of the season mantra, but not just yet. You hit a lot of nails on the head with what has been debated on the blog this year. I know you and some others have been discontent with the blog, and hopefully we can get it up to par so you guys get back here more often.
I will never be a stat guy, just not my nature. I talk about experience, and what I know and what I believe. I am thankful to have played organized football for approx 13 years of my life. I try and stick up for the HS players first then give my opinion. My opinion is definitely biased, because I will always be a fan first.
At the end of the day, I probably spend too much time on here, but guys like yourself and others make it worth while. Thanks to all, but this ain’t it.
Let’s finish the season then we can say thanks!
Old Ninth:
Isn’t it really the Garnets gaining on the Huskies as even after seven straight Rye wins the tab stands at 41-35-3 favor Harrison?
HSFB Guy, Real Deal & Others:
Just to be actually correct – Rye is 19 students (male/ female,athlete/musician/thespian) over the A/B cut-point, not 17 players. Big difference.
Jim,
When multiple bloggers (not including me) suggest you need an enema or laxative – I think thats a good indication that your ignorant, personal comments aren’t being well received. I don’t know you and you certainly don’t me – why you want to make these absurd personal comments just show a lack of civility and class on your part. You’re way too old for this nonsense – you sound like a pre-pubescent teenager at times. I have zero interest in your deranged rants or in exchanging your bizarre personal nonsense.
I come on these blogs to enjoy great discussion about local football and basketball – its unclear at this point why you do besides to throw around fantasy insults. I think you’re weird, strange and recently a bit perverse in your comments. Rye’s season is over, so clearly you have nothing more to add to this blog – thank goodness. I hope by next September you’ll have learned some common decency.
iona you are unfunny and no one cares at all what you have to say. Go root for Mount, wait I mean Iona wait Stepinac.. you are a front running clown. Wait until basketball to fill a blog with your useless garbage.
Hoops fan you know what you do. Your needed explanations are as boring as your long winded crap. Evan a dude like 10960 complained about your books. Oh and lets not make it seem like there are a lot of bloggers mocking Jim. It is ONE idiot and he gets called out as much as you.
Oh and you don’t come on to have good conversations, you come on to be heard like this a forum for just Hoops fan. You comment on everything and have repeatedly pissed people off all year. You wish you had as much respect as Jim gets.
Answer me this, why is it a blogger like 10960 who is respected not going into all Section 1 threads and being a spokesman? I mean how dare someone criticize Section 1 right? See this is what you do when it comes to the Catholic schools..its annoying an no one wants to hear you.
I want all local teams to win because it is good for our area. That is genuine. Learn how to be genuine and not a know it all who clearly only cares about CHSFL.
go deep,
If my two sentences above were too long-winded I apologized for all the reading impaired people out there. You complain constantly about “long winded crap” even when my posts are not long – I’m not sure what sense that makes. For all your negative comments at me, I’ve never seen you write anything positive or insightful about any team. Why don’t you try to focus you limited energies on writing something positive or thought-provoking about any team or the Sectional championships?
Roosevelt has to be one of the more unlikely Class A Sectional Champions of recent years and who got into the playoffs on the last weekend of the regular season – thats a great story.
New Ro apparently dominated North Rockland again showing everyone in Section 1 just how big a difference there is between the #1 and #2 teams in AA. I thought North Rockland would keep it relatively close in a low-scoring game – I was clearly wrong. New Ro once again proved they are dangerous breaking games open in the second half and scoring defensive TDs along the way.
Chubby Chubby Chubby…
You’re twisting again little girl….”Multiple Bloggers ?”...that’s what you call another twist old girl! You are twisting so much that I honestly don’t realize you are out on the dance floor most of the time.
It looks like you and your new buttboy “Brown Eyeona” are the only one’s concerned about my poopy….even though you say you don’t care….I just know you do Chubs. I’m not going to go away and leave you either….don’t worry about that…I’ll be here waiting for your next twistathon so I can comment in my own “weird and perverse” way.
Blue 60,
It was a pleasure having JJEF at Nugent. A really solid team both ways. Hope we get a chance to play you guys again.
Good luck next season.
Brown eyeiona is one of the best comments ever!!!!!!
North Roc got outplayed and in reality the better team won. Good season boys.
Hoops aka CHSFL president, have a good night. I will see you in the Stepinac threads..oh there is none. So I will see you in the Iona threads
john jay gave newro a better game. its interesting when north rockland plays away ,the games do not come down to a bad call . even tho today there were some phamtom calls . but newro too much . everyone else were batteling for second newro was clearly the better team in aa, hopefully they can beat monroe next week. good luck
Jim,
In all seriousness, your posts become more and more bizarre everytime you post. Are you proud of yourself? Now you’re talking about your own bodily functions – you win brother, I have no interest in hearing any more from your pathetic self. If you want to talk football, I’m all for it.
