And this week marks the annual Ithaca Fair and Homecoming, as Ithaca Weston will not play until Saturday when they host Brookwood.

That's a one o'clock start time for that game on Saturday afternoon.

The Green Bay Packers erased three quarters of dominance over a division rival with an implosion down the stretch that looked a lot like the way they finished last season.

The Vikings scored the last 29 points for a 39-22 victory that pivoted on Packers coach Matt LaFleur's decision to pass on a field goal and accept a penalty for a fourth in one play at the 17 yard line.

Jordan Love's sneak was stuffed before the Vikings drove 83 yards for the go ahead touchdown.

The Packers with four losses last season when leading by nine plus points in the second half.

The floor was asked why take points off the board as they

did.

We're going to be aggressive.

I mean, it was going to be a eight point game.

If it would have been a two possession game, I probably would have thought otherwise, but you know, I thought we had a chance.

We didn't do very well in the red zone.

I think we were one of four.

They were four for four, but that sometimes you live and die by that, but we're going to be aggressive and we're going to, you know, try to go for the throw in that situation.

The Packers had 12 penalties for 98 yards, went three for 12 on third down and over two on fourth.

down and scored only one touchdown and totaled just 10 points in four trips inside the 20-yard line.

Also, it was Trace Max's debut, which included a 59-yarder on a 4-for-4 performance on field goal.

He had a blemish with a mixed extra point in the first quarter that could have altered the strategy line as well later on.

Coach Mandela Fleur with more on the loss.

Yeah, it's it's really hard But that that's what they want.

They want you to play 11 personnel They get you behind the sticks and now it just opens up Pandora's box They're just lining everybody up on the line of scrimmage and that's tough to deal with I thought we had some good answers early Obviously the big one to Christian Watson, but ultimately I think coaching playing like it all it's all of us We got to do a better job of trying to put our players in in position and then when we are in position We've got to execute

Abner Uribe took the loss in relief.

Here is manager Pat Murphy.

Uribe wasn't as sharp as normal, Senza wasn't.

is normal self.

I thought Ramiro was really good.

A deal hall continues to make big pitches at big times and gasser was great.

Offensively were a little bit snake bitten, you know, the baseball gods got us a little bit with a couple of those plays, but that's the way it goes.
