Echo Indian here. Team cannot have a letdown vs the Pards....or any of our remaining foes. The way to the PL title is there, now we just have to continue the focus that bought us the Fordham win.

[> [> Gate's ENERGY in Ram game a new bar for this team! -- And Kerr, 11/ 2/15 11:58:32am Mon

I'm with you Maven. This was an inspiring win! ( "I am still on a high about how all facets of Gate football worked! Keep up that aggressive stance." )

This team was on a mission, and their high energy got more pumped as the pieces fell in place and the ball kept bouncing their way.

One thing that concerned me in watching gate earlier this year against other significant opponents is the lack of fire in their bellies. Navy, UNH, Yale and Princeton were all teams that I thought they could get pumped for ?

This was a statement game ! But, will the motivation of the ring being obtainable sustain this level of energy. If it does, I think you have to look more favorably on the wisdom of the heavy scheduling that gate puts into the front end of the season. This is a gate trademark and it adds drama to the season.

btw, did anyone else notice that we now only have 10 games scheduled in 2016 and 2017. An open spot to fill for each year.

Somebody else noticed this a while back, the open spots used to be a home and home with Bryant that we canceled. I asked about it, sounds like we're hoping to replace with a home & home with an Ivy. That was the answer I got at Homecoming, not sure what's happened in the last month or so.
