Forget Luke, forget Tom I used them as examples.  I could list 25 "observations" that you have made that are boderline crazy.  Time for me to go back to charting games and exit this board.  This is a business for me, time to go away before I screw it up. 

You are a bully, and an ignorant one at that.

Good luck to the rest of you. 

I'm out.

Wow. Colby loses to Thomas College of Maine. NCAC was dead on accurate in his assessment, at least based on the 20 or so minutes I watched. Very disappointing, as I thought they might take a step up this year. Instead, they appear to be the worst team in NESCAC by a wide margin.

I have now seen every Nescac team this year and I can tell you without question the WORST team is Hamilton. They have the least amount of talent.

OK that was the last straw.  I find your observations to be always emphatically stated but really not very astute.  Luke Piece a fast player?  Are you out of your mind?  Courageous, sure, good in the air –yup but his lack of pace and Russo's inability to recognize it was a major problem with that team.  Luke to his credit would try and anticipate and guess to make up for the pace issue but you can only do so much.  In the Amherst game they went after him like it was a religion.  Film doesn't lie. Bates was shelled by Hamilton, who actually posses the ball fairly well with the 4 central players.  They have a finishing issue as do many of these teams.  Game could have easily been 2-0 other way.  Trinity was dominant for the first 15 minutes vs. Hamilton then were an over-the-top mess. If Hamilton could finish at all that's 4 or 5.  The backline is disorganized.  I think vs. the better NESCAC teams Hamilton is overmatched but there was very little difference vs. Bates, Trinity, and Conn.  For what I do I have watched all but 4 NESCAC games, the overreliance on score on shot stats is astounding.  So many of theses shots are little more than turnovers shooting from angles and distance that would make an EPL player blush.  How many dangerous possetions did your team create is a better way to measure.  But you have to actually watch the game film to figure it out.  Your observations on who is soft and not is hysterical.  If one of my lads is playing high I don't want him stuck in on a tackle.  What sense is that, he needs to keep his feet and not be engaged so if he can nick it away he's off with a chance.  Getting "stuck in" for my offensive players does not help create a quick counter and just makes them easier to find in transition.  I'd rather keep our shape up top, not chase all the time and pick it clean when we can.  This macho hammer everybody thing is past.  Let it go.  I want my center three hard, everyone else I want mobile.....Also, I do not like talking about individual players, I think at the very least impolite.  -----Especially when some of the negativity is from ignorance of how they are trying to play.

Best,
Will

I watched whole game.  Misplayed ball in box off a deflection with under two to go.  But in truth Bates was running at them in the last 15.  Overtime Bates dominated.  Almost scored 2 minutes prior to final, sick save by Williams keep.  I am only guessing but out of gas back to back OT and I'm sure Amherst took something out of them.  Give Bates credit, never quit.

Bow-1 Bates-0

Also, I vote we count Mr. Right's picks anyhow as we can't let him quit while being dead last. Otherwise, he will need to change his name again.

LOL!  I just wanted him to stop creating more work for me, quick simple easy.......

You have objected 3-4 times, don't submit then.  Only reason this has been getting squirrely are the objections.  Very simple to keep track of, ----your in last with one point anyway, so ya know drop.

thanks.

Will

2-1-0 conference only, that's how I'm doing it.....to many cooks.  last offer if anyone wants to take over now is your chance.

PS A tie is less frequent than W/L and in truth should be more like 2.8 points but lets just leave it at 2 and move along to the weekly picks.....

Pretty clear I think, picking correctly ---2 for a tie, 1 for a win 0 all else......

Okay, I am gettiing thoroughly confused now.  Let's just merge these two threads - it will be too difficult policing people to post on the correct NESCAC thread.

ANyhow, Willitheman, you forgot to include my picks - got 5 correct.  Heart told me to pick Wes, but head overruled and picked a tie instead.  Revised standings are as follows:

All NESCAC - 5
FourMore - 5
Corazon - 5
Offpitch - 5
1970 Nescac - 4
OldCard - 4
Jump4joy -4
willtheman - 3
Mr. Right-1

Didn't see your picks I assume they were in regular thread.  No worries I'll add you to exel sheet.  Less confusing for me, one place for picks, (here) conference only(simple) and I agree correct tie call gets you 2 points instead of one.  If it's close going into last week we can use scores in last week as a tiebreak.  If anyone wants to be more elaborate, by all means take this over, I won't be insulted!  I'll put up a tasty bottle of wine as a door prize........a little added incentive.
