Good luck tomorrow to Trine College. I know a lot of Trine faithful have felt that the school is not getting enough credit for how good they really are. Well, from here to the dIII top 25 fan poll you're being talked about, so make some noise tomorrow and convince the rest who you are! Again, good luck!

Lol bleed. Well in that case I hope Coach Land still has the "big f'in chip" laying around from a couple years ago because they are going to need it if they make it to play UW-W. It's bad enough Trine would have to play them in the second round, but playing the #1 team in the nation while they are in a bad mood is not good news for anyone

They are definitely not in a good mood. It will be interesting to talk about a Trine/UW-W matchup if both teams survive tomorrow. UW-W has Franklin, who leads the nation in scoring. The key for UW-W will be pressure. I think both Trine and UW-W will have similar game plans tomorrow. Pound the rock and wear down the opponent. Good luck to the Thunder!

It has just been reported over on the NCAC board that 1) there is a huge crowd that showed up at DePauw for the game and 2) Trine is up 27-7 and it is still in the first quarter - wow

! Still, a long way to go in the game.

As little respect as Trine has received this year, I for one feel they are a team to look out for. Trine gave Wheaton all it could handle two years ago in a 14-0 game. All Trine has done since then is to continue to improve.

Uh, oh. DePauw has come back and taken the lead at 28-27 as reported over on the NCAC board. Early in the second half I believe. Trine better keep it going.

Yeah, I come on here to pay Trine a compliment and everything goes to heck. Blame me.

You're safe, Mugsy!

I hear Trine is now up 45-35 with 3 minutes left in the game. Go MIAA!

D3fb.com reports that Trine has defeated DePauw 45-35. Congratulations to the Trine team and staff. A playoff win for the MIAA - another step. They will have a big challenge next week, and although Franklin is now losing to UWW 31-14, they took it to UWW for awhile as it was 14-14. We'll see what happens. But for now, Trine can celebrate tonight and tomorrow, then it is "back to work".

Mugsy · November 20, 2010, 03:49:06 PM

Congrats to Trine on a big win today.

formerd3db · November 20, 2010, 05:55:37 PM

Not a bad record in predictions today by the D3fb.com staff! Essentially right on most of those; only exceptions as to a few surprises:

Pat was the only one who picked Thomas More to win
Pat was the only one to pick Bethel
Pat and keith took Wheaton
Pat and Keith took Alfred to win
Ryan picked Delaware Valley (I, too, thought Salisbury might win that one)
Ryan and Keith pick Trine
All three picked Hampton-Sydney but they lost

The rest of the picks were as expected. Not bad you guys.

Congrats to Trine, players and coaches. Now go give UWW a heck of a game! You can do it!

MasterJedi · November 20, 2010, 08:46:30 PM

Looking forward to seeing Trine next week. A new team comes to the Perk. Good luck, but not too much luck.

dallas · November 20, 2010, 09:59:20 PM

Good luck Trine. Looking forward to the game next week.

Great game Thunder! You "weathered the storm" in the second half and showed a lot of mental toughness with some huge 3rd down conversions by the offense - whata catch by Nash in the 4th quarter, and made some great defensive plays to close out the game. Killingbecks interception was HUGE!

I guess the SOS didn't matter as much in this one as you thought, huh Pat?
