What does it matter how bad Wabash beat CMU or how bad witt lost to Hobart. We are talking about the NCAC and NCAC play.

Which is all well and good except Wabash and Witt didn't play the same schedule. Wabash got to play a 9 win OWU team and Witt got to play Hiram instead. Do you think that difference maybe has an effect on the conference only stats? Because I kinda do.

Yea, the same way playing two playoff team might effect the stats. Hobart and Heidelberg were imho, much better teams than OWU.

Wait, so now games outside of league play count? I'm confused.

Bashdad,

I could do the same thing and post Wabashs loses. BTW, I am an NCAC fan not a Witt so you're not hurting my feelings. I saw both teams play last year and there is Nothing that makes me think Wabash was the better team....

BTW, I don't think Oberlin was the better team when they beat Wabash by 15 at Wabash. However, Like the Wittenburg vs. Wabash game the score says differently.

Who did Heidelberg beat last year?

Anyway....look, I AGREE. Wittenberg is really good. They are going to be heavy favorites per the polling that happens in a little bit. I don't think, and I'm going to be in the minority, they are demonstrably better than Wabash or OWU. Can we have three really good teams in the league? I think we can. I think it will be fun.

Uh-huh. This is like trying to pull gum from my hair.

So you watched the game in Springfield? Or no? I'm guessing you didn't.

I am hoping for a great season by all 3. OWU will be very very good in the about 2 more season! I think they will pass the other two up by 2015. Now here's to hoping Wooster gets going too.

And now it got creepy. I might be able to sleep with the lights off again sometime around 2016.

... and with that, apparently, he vanished.

ExTartanPlayer · July 30, 2013, 10:58:16 AM

wally, you know as well as I do that there is no place for logic unless it supports the argument one is trying to make.

BashDad · July 30, 2013, 11:19:28 AM

Did he delete his account? That seems severe.

wally_wabash · July 30, 2013, 11:24:54 AM

Yeah...not really a proportional response. I didn't even think we were that bad this time. Former pick 'em champ and a solid contributor...I hope short reconsiders.
