Thanks for posting the link Magic....know its possible for Bard to be 8-8 but with the remaining games is it possible for everyone to be 8 and 8?  With the schedule remaining and with how each team fares is it possible (for instance if Bard wins all five does that mean someone else must finish 7 and 9 in the league)??  I'm not bright enough to figure that out and I certainly can't write a computer program to figure out?

But I can always wish for it as love as my Knights have advantages in the tie break scenario (or at least a double headed coin??) hehehe

Cool!!!  I wonder if Sir Pat would combine my posts from my previous life as With Age Comes?  (forgot the pass word for that one and had to create a new self??)  At least now I have a new goal in life??!!  More posts!! lol

You have karma access already -- after 200 posts you get the privilege. There are "applaud" and "smite" buttons under the poster's name for you to use.

Parity is a bear!!!!  Poor Liberty League....there is  possibility I believe that every team could go 8 and 8 if things play out exactly as needed...RPI must really impress with some home wins down the stretch and St Lawrence has to lose to everyone on the road except for their final home game with  Clarkson in which neither team is really on the road (10 minute drive from Potsdam to Canton)!!  How amazing would that be a whole league at 8 and 8.... the tie break scenario would be incredible!!!!  God I love d3 hoops..no way would you ever have a chance at that in the "power conferences"!!!  But parity means no love in the rankings though St. Lawrence is one of the 3 losses that number 1 regional ranked Plattsburgh has and Liberty League "bottom dweller" has a win over Middlebury which ain't too shabby!!  Here is to parity both the for the good reasons and the bad!!  May the one bid league go on to be National Champion!!!   and no haters please as I know I now am armed with the all powerful Karma and Smite tool!!!
