Okay, we'll let you feel younger for a while longer!  However, just remember that "time marches on" and that someday you'll be like the rest of us former DIII players still trying to participate in the fun here! :)

Anyway, thanks for the link to the predictions.  IMO, I think that most of those are pretty close to being what will happen, although I think Ohio Northern will win.  Also, I could see 2-3 of the other games going the other way if certain teams continue playing their "A" games i.e. Wheaton, Montclair State, maybe even St. Thomas.  While you and your UWW brethren obviously feel that your team will eventually overwhelm Trine, being from our MIAA, I have to root for Trine in going for the upset. ;D  Such has happened on occasion in the past at all NCAA levels.  But, of course, we'll see what goes.

Please, please, please.........be right about the first one!  

But the second one, I understand is out of loyalty.................... ;) :D ;D

I'm with my sister 413 on this one.  I will be pulling for YOUR prediction tomorrow on the ONU/NCC game.  It seems WAY TOO early to be playing the last football game at the Perk for  the year.  And I understand your loyalty prediction, too.  While those "any given Saturdays" are scary, they are also what help make football fun and helps ALL fans enjoy and appreciate when their team comes out on top!

I was watching the Oregon/Arizona game this evening.  Obviously, Oregon is a very, very good team worthy of its #1 rating so far, although Arizona did put up a good fight and hung with Oregon for quite some time until mid-late 3rd quarter.  Arizona is a good team also, yet they have lost 3 in a row now.  I was impressed with their QB - 6'4" and 245, a great arm and very agile despite playing with a recently subluxed/dislocated kneecap about 3 weeks ago.

However, in watching the game, the officiating, IMO, was very poor and it was very obvious that the officials favored Oregon.  I'm not sure I've seen such blatant favoritism in quite some time.  Some very poor and incorrect calls on several occasions against Arizona - I am not saying this cost them the game at all, rather just mentioning that it was so disappointing to see that happen.  In addition, while I agree with and appreciate officials now trying to interpret the new rules about safety/prohibiting "head hits", it is clear they are being overzealous on many occasions in that regard.  Some may argue that is good i.e. erring on the side of safety, to which I would agree, however, commen sense should prevail and at least a couple of those calls I'm talking about this evening were so blatantly wrong and misinterpreted, it was pathetic.  While Stoops (Arizona's Stoops ;)) is not one of my favorite coaches (and that's just my own personal opinion), I don't blame him for being extremely upset and verbalizing that to the offciating crew. I just hope for his sake and his players/school, he doesn't violate the league rule and publically make a statement about this evening's performance by that officiating crew (although I wouldn''t blame him either if he slipped and did so ;D ::)).

Update:
Heading to 4th Qtr. UWW 31 Trine 31.

Ohio State crushing Michigan 37-7 and Michigan State in command of Penn State 28-10.  NCC holding down Wheaton 21-3 - somewhat surprising, although not to some of the CCIW people, especially North Central.  Mount Union wins handily as does Wesley and MHB, Alfred ends Cortland State's season.

I'm hoping the UWW/Trine game goes down to the wire - with the latter, of course, coming on top. ;D  Wouldn't it be nice for that to happen for just once? ??? ::) ;D ;) :)

Final: UWW 45 Trine 31.

Congrats to UWW, but also congrats to Trine coaching staff and players for a great, great season. Very few people (except your own followers and some of your MIAA brethren, of course:) thought you would give UWW a close game like you did.  Thanks for representing our MIAA well. Maybe our league is not quite as bad as some people think. :D

Congrats to Trine and the staff on a fine year! You represented the MIAA very well and gave UWW all they could handle today! :)

The program IMHO has raised the bar for next year!
