No, that's not what he's talking about. He was referring to 2003 when the Rangers started 0-2, then beat Bedford in Sidman and later won all their regular season and made some kind of of run in the playoffs i'm not sure how far.

Bedfordtransplant: But you said "some" unconventional calls on Bedford helped "ameliorate" the turnovers by FH. Do you mean that the 5 yard penalty on Bedford for the illegal signalling of a fair catch helped EVEN OUT the turnovers committed by FH?

Yeah, my misunderstanding there. Now there were definitely some unconventional calls in Sidman during that game in 03

Here's what I can't understand. Bedford was the better team last night. NO doubt about it. But you have some guy come on here and say that there were "some" unconventional calls against Bedford that were on par to being equal to the turnovers FH gaves up. Really? And then he mentions a 5 yard penalty which meant NOTHING to the outcome of the game. NOTHING!!! This kind of stuff is hard to take.

Sorry to not fully satisfy your question, Moldo. No, I didn't mean that the calls were either on par, or equal, to the turnovers - just that they lessened the impact to some degree. There were at least 2 big gains called back on penalties, which were possibly/probably correct calls. However, those penalties kept the game close at the time. I shouldn't have used the term "unconventional" in regard to these calls.

I'll grant the 5 yard penalty had NOTHING to do with the outcome of the game, yet it still seems an odd call when the kid was clearly waving for fair catch. It was a 20 yard difference in field position.

The gist of my comments was that Bedford improved greatly. And I still stand by that.

Gonna have to make yourself clear on here. alot of posters on here take things literally. And NO big words like ameliorate either.

Webster's Dictionary- ameliorate: To make better; to improve.

Maybe after FH extricates their cranial containers from their rectal orifices, they can still "ameliorate" the rest of their season.

I have a feeling the Rangers will use this in a positive way, as they always do and wouldn't be suprised to see a rematch in the playoffs.

Little off subject but, is Ron Walters helping out at Bedford? I had heard that he was but figured id ask some bedford people to confirm. And if he is..whats he doing?

He is, and he helps coach the line and linebackers if I'm not mistaken.

JungleJuice2 should be able to help me out here.
