hmmmmmm

Hey Lumbercat, where in ME are you?  We spend a couple weekends a year in Wells!

Lake Forest wins the Conference on the tie breaker by leading all 4 quarters!   

Lake Forest with a strong win to open the season.  And way to go Ripon!

No tie breakers needed!

If Lake Forest wins, they are conference champs.  If they lose they are co champs and LFC get's the AQ

Jeesh guys!  Stop all the speculating!  Nobody has direct lines to behind the curtain!!!! lol.

I was just making an assumption that the MWC would have to discuss this further.  Making that assumption, I am assuming they have a weekly meeting (Probably Monday or Tuesday).  I am sure they will be talking about this in length.  And possibly, do something to ensure there is a fair ending to this.

Just like what happened back with Concordia Chicago when Lake Forest had to go back and finish that game 10 years ago or so.  Not saying that is what's going to be the decision, but since it happened once before in another conference, it does give them something to go to and look at. 

And Blue Jay, I would say they would never leave it up to the home AD/Coach to make the final decision.  That could start WWIII.

Again, if LFC wins Saturday, all this is just jibber jabber.  But if they lose, WOW!!!!!!!!

You might want to wait till tomorrow till you try to explain possibilities........

Ok, So I realized that Lake Forest had a shortened game.  But didn't bring it up, because I am pretty sure the Conference would have to have further discussion about it before Saturday.

When my son was a Freshman, 2011, Lake Forest opened up against Concordia Chicago.  There was an extreme weather front that came through around halftime.  Lake Forest was ahead and they sent everyone home, somewhat like what happened this year at LFC.  At the end of the season, and I forgot the exact details, but that game became a concern as to how Concordia's season was going to end.  I think they were in a tie for the AQ also but not 100% sure about that.  We had to go back and get slapped around by them for 2 quarters to finish that games 4 quarters.......

Now, will the MWC want that to happen this year?  If I was a betting man, and I am, I would be happy to wager that they will want everything decided and understood before the balls are kicked off Saturday.  I bet we will hear of some announcement giving clear instructions IF Lake Forest was to lose.  Now all of this won't matter if Lake Forest wins.  So they are in the drivers seat.  But there are still multiple outcomes if they lose.

"Oh no Grasshopper, sometimes the fog in the forest hides the trees from the true meaning"!

How's this for a wrench being thrown into the machine?

U Chicago, although winning 78-3 against Grinnell, was tied 3-3 at the end of the first quarter.......

Ready for discussion.  (Taking a long sip of Jack!)

Are we all sure of the tie breakers?  Last time I remember this talk, I think we found out each conference had their own tie breaker rules.....

Game over, FORESTERS win!!!!!

Lake Forest with a 14-2 win today!  Strange for an April posting.....

No problem Cat.  When my son showed up at his freshman year camp and I saw 33 freshman, I thought, Oh Oh.  He had never sat much.  But starting the year as a special teamer was good for him.  Made him hungry.  Competition is a good thing.
