>>>As you may already know, Fordham Football once again
>>>embarrassed the University with their performance
>this
>>>weekend by getting beaten into a pulp by Holy Cross
>>>(21-3 at one point). Of course this did nothing to
>>>stop the undue praise. The following are actual posts
>>>(or are the boasts?). WARNING: you may not want to
>>>read this with a full stomach:
>>>
>>>from Air Ram:
>>>"This was what Fordham football should be about. I
>>>have never seen a crowd so accepting of a loss. The
>80
>>>year old guy sitting behind us said "this was worth
>>>the trip".
>>>
>>>Air Ram then goes on to try to blame the referees for
>>>Fordham's embarrassing performance:
>>>"Officiating: Aweful. These guys gave HC two traps
>>>that lead to two first downs I hope the patriot
>league
>>>reviews the officiating because that was not good.
>>>
>>>Undue Praise at Wide Receiver:
>>>"Daniels was exceptional at reciever. He made a
>great
>>>catch and two others were amazing but he came down
>out
>>>of bounds"
>>>FOR THE RECORD: Daniels has 1 catch. Since when is
>>>that exceptional? Only in the perverted world of
>>>Fordham Football.
>>>
>>>Fordham Football's Effort in the loss gets praise
>from
>>>JohnG92:
>>>"- overall, a very entertaining game, and a Fordham
>>>team that gave it 100% for 60 minutes."
>>>FOR THE RECORD: Fordham was down 21-3 at one point.
>>>Some effort!
>>>
>>>Fordham Football Sucks, so of course let's blame the
>>>fans:
>>>Nutmeg: "Fordham turnout was no more than 500 in a
>>>crowd of 9,600. Also, why no FU band members or
>>>cheerleaders? "
>>>FOR THE RECORD: why would cheerleaders or anyone or
>>>thata matter support these bums?
>>>
>>>From the Players' Perspective: (from Air Ram)"I heard
>>>Daniels say after the game "This team is ready to
>make
>>>some noise!".
>>>FOR THE RECORD: the "noise" Daniels was no doubt
>>>referring to was at a bar that evening where the team
>>>was no doubt going to be a loud, drunk, belligerent
>>>and unruly disgrace. Just stand on the street corner
>>>outside a bar at 3am you'll hear Fordham Football
>>>making some "noise".
>>>
>>>Undue Praise at Quaterback:
>>>" I believe that if Jordan can get time to pass, he
>is
>>>going to be great in this offense."
>>>"Jordan seemed very poised and composed for the game.
>>"
>>>"T.J. Jordan has a lot of moxie, is VERY tough, can
>>>move around well and throws a nice ball"
>>>FOR THE RECORD: Jordan completed 7 of 19 passes.
>Since
>>>when is 7 of 19 "great", "poised", "tough" or an

>>>
>>>Recap: this team of losers were praised for their
>>>"effort", "moxie" and "greatness" after they
>>>embarassed themselves at Holy Cross this Saturday.
>>>Glad to see their effort was their. Afterall this
>team
>>>is all about effort, right? Just look at this blurb
>>>and quote from their coach in the Staten Island
>>>Advance:
>>>
>>>"We were about even talent-wise with Monmouth," he

>>>There you have it folks. That's Fordham Football
>>>Ladies and Gentlemen. In all its glory
