Re: let the excuses begin raider fans.
I heard the same stuff on the radio on the way home. Rain is the great equalizer and it negates speed. It didn't seem to effect Robinson any. On the 40+ yarder he scored in the first half it showed Coleman way behind him and him pulling away.
I think this is another thing that's adding to some of the CW folks frustration tonight. Rain being a factor, but for some reason one kid ran through, over, and around the others for 236 yards while the other two combined for 17. I guess I'll take old "slow" Robinson any day of the week.
Re: let the excuses begin raider fans.
posters like that come and go, jus dont pay them any attention.
they are usually dumbass HS kids who do it to stir trouble.
CWOOD def. in the drivers seat for the div. 1 playoffs now, assuming they do beat burton again, who would they have to play?
Re: let the excuses begin raider fans.

the offense was totally inept with him out for the time he was out.
Re: let the excuses begin raider fans.
It was just a cramp. He was only out 3 plays.
Re: let the excuses begin raider fans.

Re: let the excuses begin raider fans.
It was a heck of a nasty game. Neither team played particularly well. I think Norton had 8 penalties, Clintwood 6, but 2 of Nortons ended up being 1.5 yard penalties, so it ends up being about the same, but Clintwood had more penalty yards.
Lots of bobbled snaps for both teams, but really most of them recovered by the team that fumbled. I think Norton lost 2, Clintwood 1 (if memory is right).
And while the rain hurt Norton in some regards, it also helped them in others.
I was a bit disappointed in one, small section of Norton fans, around 25 or so who someone mentioned on another thread as booing during the announcemnt of starters and all. I don't hold that against the majority of their fans, just like I am not grouping all their posters into 1-2 'bad eggs'. I think most of Nortons intelligent fans realized that no matter what the conditions, it would be a good game and that Clintwoods path to this game was a bit tougher, and that could hinder Norton (which I think it did).
Thankfully it seemed like the rattled players were ok and back in the game, there was some big hits on both sides, and I don't know about most Clintwood fans, but I was scared to death because Norton went through I think the entire 1st half without a first down, and they were tied. Clintwood had chances and due to conditions, Norton stepping up or Clintwood screwing up, they couldn't finish drives. I expected something bad to happen.

and i'll say it again pay attention this time!!! Clintwoods line got Robinson in the 2nd level of Nortons defense, thats why he was able to do the things he did tonight! If Norton had the push like Cwood did miles and coleman both would've had huge nights!
Re: let the excuses begin raider fans.
He should be at about 1300-1350.

and aside from one or two posters, i see that winning changes how people act towards their teams and other teams.
it seems like you want to try an embarrass a team on here for putting up a great fight, and staying in the game till late. </div></div>
Not trying to embarass anyone i have said that they played a great game, but i just dont see the point in making excuses for losing you can blame on this and that all you want but in the end it comes down to who is the better team
