Reader e-mail

We get letters over the course of a week, some of which are worth sharing. This recent sampling is pretty indicative of the usual e-mail.

I could not believe what I saw at Hampton-Sydney Va.today.I and 75 other Emory & Henery parents and fans witnessed the home officials throw the game for
HSC. I have witnessed this happening at the high school level but never in my wildest thoughts would this happen at the college level.

All be it we are only talking about the D-3 level, If this would of happened D-1 on national TV. with 30 million watching and fifty camaras on the game there would of been White House investigation. It’s a sad day when our sons find out that college football is corrupt. Book score HSC 24 Emory 21, real score Emory at least 21 HSC 10!!! Thanks for allowing me to vent.

I’ve heard lots of negative things and witnessed some by officials in this conference, but to suggest that they were corrupt is pretty silly. But venting is healthy, I’m sure.

Why is Rowan ranked so high? They just barely beat New Jersey and play nobody in the NJAC that is worth anything. Union came very close to beating them in the playoffs last year, and play a tougher schedule than Rowan, but are not in the top 25. I think D3 football.com is the best thing to happen to small college football, but you guys seem to be so in love with certain leagues, while ignoring others.

Rowan is presenting a bit of a problem for us right now, to be sure. I keep sliding them down on my own ballot and others are doing the same — as you can see, they keep falling even though they are winning. But is Bridgewater better than Rowan? Is Occidental? Who have either of those teams played? Is Central better? They haven’t put anyone away and keep getting taken to overtime.

Rowan moved up in the coaches’ poll the last two weeks despite its unimpressive win at home against Western Connecticut and the New Jersey game. At least in our poll they’re moving in the right direction. But they haven’t lost a game they weren’t supposed to — their only loss is on the road at a scholarship school.

Curious to know who he thinks we’re ignoring.

Subject: Who’s That Guy
Notes: YES I HAVE HEARD ABOUT A DOMINIQUE TAYLOR WHO PLAYS FOR LA. COLLEGE WHO IS THIS GUY ANF WHERE HE COME FROM. HE’S REALLY GOOD.

I see he has a pair of interceptions, one returned for a touchdown, but my gut tells me you know a lot more about this kid than I do and are just fishing for a compliment.

I was just wondering if you could send me a listing of all the top colleges that are heavenly recruiting

Many religious schools in Division III but I think most are recruiting living players. No, seriously, spelling aside, we get this question a lot and we are not a recruiting service.
