So is this where we go to mourn about our team playing themselves out of the playoffs?

At least Wabash and Whitewater will always have that 2007 season. 

Next year we'll be back at it!

Time for that later...got some Danny butt that needs whoopin' on Saturday and a senior class that can go 4-0 against the team down south.  Get back to me about the postseason support group on Sunday.

Ok, I feel bad for DePauw on what's about to come their way.

The last time this sort of thing happened was two years ago. The result was Wabash lambasting DePauw's 9-0 conference champion team 47-0.  I would certainly welcome another unmerciful beatdown of DePauw because it really does make things feel better.

I had to pick this weekend to buy tickets for michigan. I would be at oberlin otherwise. Still wasn't that impressed with wittenberg when I saw them against denison so I am picking Oberlin. I think that is a safe bet , I know twice as much about betting on football then basketball. Of couse 2x0=?

Oberlin over Witt?
First one willing to make that call.

Oberlin's offense will have to play better against Witt than they did against Wabash, because Witt will have dissected that game tape from one end to the other.

Quick comment on the Witjes double pass from Saturday...that play was so good.  I'll never know how Witjes was able to catch, grip, and throw an absolute strike that fast.  Seriously, there are middle infielders in the show that don't pivot double plays that fast.  Really an incredible play by Witjes there.

Cannot wait to see how this all plays out.  60 degrees and 20% chance of rain Saturday in Oberlin.

Just had something pointed out to me that would seem to give Kenyon the AQ if Witt, OWU and Kenyon all win Saturday (and who knows, they could all lose). The first part of the second tiebreaker doesn't break the tie. But check out the second part of the second tiebreaker (this is straight out of the manual). If you start from the bottom of the standings and go up, the first opponent Wittenberg and OWU lost to is Wabash. Since there is common opponent provision here, Kenyon wins the tiebreaker.

2. Result(s) versus individual opponents examined in descending order, individually, until tie is broken. The tied teams must have a common opponent in order for the result to be considered; if not a common opponent, move to the next team in the standings. The first team to have beaten a higher-ranked team that is a common opponent wins the tiebreaker. If the tie is not broken in the descending order review, start from the bottom of the standings and examine opponents in ascending order. The first team to have lost to a lower-ranked team loses the tiebreaker (no common opponent provision in ascending review).

I'll just point out, and I'll try to make this my only non-Monon post of the week, that while both the Allegheny game and the Oberlin game produced similar frustrations for Wabash fans (a curiously inert offense, a lethargic defense) the one significant distinction is that Oberlin looked good enough to win. The Allegheny game had a kind of neutered, bluh feeling-- the feeling of mediocre players catching a break, executing a well-prepared scheme atop the platform of the other team's mistakes. Saturday, the Yeoman players just took something. They just did. They made plays. And I'm not just talking about the ones over 47 yards (all four of them). It was a different kind of feeling. And while I don't think that Oberlin will necessarily be the better team this Saturday, I do know that Witt has struggled on the road this season against CWRU, Wooster, and Denison; that Oberlin's senior laden group will be facing another young team; that Mandel is hungry to make up for all those lost games. I don't know. It's certainly an interesting, unexpected match up.

Can you call your boy at the league office and confirm?

I was told yesterday they were examining the scenarios. Personally, I like my idea of the coaches wrestling for the trophy and the AQ. There's no way that doesn't make SportsCenter's top 10 plays.

Examining the scenarios?  How do they not know?  How is it ok that they don't know?

I suppose that could mean they're running the tiebreak with each possible permutation of wins and losses on Saturday.

A leg wrestling tournament among the team captains should be the final tiebreaker.

Maybe re-establish the long lost tradition of "the pole" - AQ and trophy atop instead of a rhynie pot?
