To answer a question...no G'town was not a hard hitting team causing the fumbles...it was raining pretty good during pre warm ups and the backs had on sleeves which I don't like but damp footballs and wet sleeves don't go together. They made them roll the sleeves up so the ball could stick to the skin and not slip on the sleeves. No fumbles in the 2nd was the result.

All I'm hearing is excuses. Not a good look for a guy who uses coach in his handle.

That's not an excuse...but would I expect some one like you to hang on to that.  Obviously you never ran a ball or know anything about about the fact that the weather can play a role in turnovers!!!

Sleeves?? Video doesn't lie. Gtowns D was in their backfield quite a bit. Blocked punt doesn't happen because of sleeves guys.  Gtowns D is no slouch.

Obviously that one smart guy. ..but I did say our backs. Not the punter....lol

There were special teams issues as well. We didn't help ourselves all night with poor clock managment. We had multiple delay of game penalties on offense, due to plays not being called in a timely manner. The defense gets a stop, only to give them a first down and new life with a substitution penalty, on the punt return team. It was like that all night it seemed. That was just bad coaching. We looked sloppy. Especially the 1st half. It was a bad night all around.

Not gone let you have that one...if you were watching the ref like we were after the first couple, he is supposed to raise his hand at 5 seconds, but he wasn't doin they until coach started yelling at him and the ref....

Yea, but that is still on the coaches. After the 1st delay of game, you ask your QB "what's up?" When he replies, the back ref isn't raising his hand, that's when you get on the ref AND the white hat. You shouldn't have as many as we did. I'm glad he yelled at the refs though. As a matter of fact, it would behoove the coaching staff to have one of the assistant coaches to watch out for that very thing and nip it in the bud before it can become an issue. In fact, just have a pre-game talk with the refs about that very thing.

Think what rebel is saying is, that's just part of football. "Turnovers"  as are penalties, dropped passes, touchdowns and field goals. They all contribute to the success or demise of a football team.  Fortunately/unfortunately someone is gonna have more or less of one them which impacts the game. Veteran coaching staff should have addressed this before the game.  End of the day the better team won Friday night.....on to the next one. I'm sure they'll meet again. #SLEEVEGATE...LOL

Okay, I'll cut to the chase for you, Coach10AC.  I just watched a team with the best athletes in the city implode. It was ugly. They got out of their element by going away from their normal offense and it cost them with all kinds of penalties  — like too many men on the field, substitution issues and motion penalties. Their special teams were abysmal, I mean that rugby punt took way too long. They had to use timeouts three times on G'town punt attempts to stop an uncovered man. As for the weather, they came out in sleeves. I could go on and on. I respect the talent level of the Tigers for sure. Like all well coached teams and good teams, Germantown took advantage of these mistakes and won. It could go either way when these teams play. I'm guessing you are not a REAL coach, but one of those who wishes he were one. Otherwise you wouldn't be talking so much on a fan chat forum.

We have some good athletes yes, so does gtown...that's not an issue...people take stuff and run with it. A simple question was asked and I answered it...end result is, there was a problem, it was addressed and it was fixed...no fumbles in the second half...those are facts!!! True turnovers are part of the game but so is making adjustments. But I guess no one wants to mention that. I congratulated gtown on they're win, no excuses here. But Ill be sure to tell them that me know it all said our rugby punt took to long!!! We will call a rugby punt specialist for help. Thanks

Kdub you have been around long enough to know da haven will never get a fair shake against certain schools no matter how much we complain...the last thing we should have to worry about is watching officials as opposed to what the players are doin...but yes it's our fault, we made it a close game and left it in the hands of the officials.

coach10ac ... you've been around long enough to know, for the very reason you just mentioned ... is WHY you have to be on your P's and Q's. We know the QB is trained to look for the back ref to indicate when the time is winding down. As an offensive coaching staff, make it your responsibility to make sure they are doing what they are suppose to be doing. It's not hard. Just identify one of the volunteer coaches that can handle that task. Let them tell you as the OC that ... "Hey coach, the back ref isn't telling VJ when the time is winding down." and take it from there. That is something 'We' can control. Don't assume everybody is doing what they should be doing. I'm sure the ref will start to do it once it has beem brought to their attention that our QB is trained to look for it. Again, THAT is something we can control ... and it doesn't take a whole lot of effort. Just assign that task to someone responsible enough to do it. It doesn't have to be one of the coaches on the field. It can one of the coaches in the press box.
