Like when Christopher Newport beat Mary Hardin-Baylor?

You can't get respect simply by losing to the good teams on the schedule until you beat one of them. In the case of the USAC, that means beating the big dog, Christopher Newport. When/if you do, and not before, Averett will get poll respect. And that would be in 2006, not in 2005, when Christopher Newport didn't make the playoffs. I mean, shoot, beating CNU last year wasn't exactly unique to Averett.

Well I am confused. You say that Averett beating CNU last year wasn't unique????

All of a sudden everyone becomes old and senile. Did the folks at D3Football.Com forget that you had CNU ranked #16 in the country at the
beginning of the season and picked to win the USA South Conference?????
And you made sure to mention that they were without 4 staters when
they lost to Rowan.

It may not mean anything to the rest of the world but for Averett to beat
two teams last year that they have never beaten since they began to play football, one being CNU, and the other being Shenandoah who I remind everyone was picked by the "Guru's" of D3Football to also be at the top of the hill in the USA South.  I think that was exciting and unique for the
Averett folks.

But I hear what you are saying, because CNU didn't make it to the playoffs then thier loss to Averett didn't mean squat. I suppose that after 5 years of kicking Averetts butt that losing to them didn't bother CNU fans either, because they weren't going to the playoff's. Interesting.

With ref to CNU being ranked #16 in Country. I was referring to last year (2005) in case anyone forgot.

Pat C - just to clear up one thing, I went back and reviewed my post from yesterday and I don't see anywhere in that post where I made mention to 2005. You tossed the ball with 2005 across the net, I just returned it.

I didn't respond to your post from yesterday either, if I recall correctly.
Josh Bowerman posted about Averett. I responded to him. You posted. Then Eh-You posted. I responded to him. You  responded to me. I responded to that.

In the event that's as confusing as it is when I'm writing it, sorry.

I'm giving it a shot. I honestly am judging Averett on the basis of what they seem to be regionally - NOT South Region - but their area of the country. I don't (as I have been very honest about) have much knowledge of D3 football on a national level, but here's what I see:
    Averett is the best team in the USAC, their 2006 conference record proves it. Based on what they did in 2006 against Guilford,who defeated Bridgewater in 2006, who defeated W&L in 2006 and what AU did against Ferrum in 2006 who nearly beat Bridgewater in 2006 I think its safe to say that Averett is the best them in the USAC or ODAC in 2006. That would logically make them the best D3 team in a very large area of the Southeastern United States in 2006.
    I've seen other teams (CNU, Bridgewater, W&L) get votes in the top 25 poll in 2006 and either not meet this 2006 criteria that you are setting forth (Bridgewater, W&L) or lose a game that they shouldn't have (CNU) in 2006.
I simply think AU deserves the same respect that these teams have gotten.
    On a national level, AU does deserve credit for a few things. They gave Wesley all they wanted for 57 minutes in 2006. In AU's first game EVER in that environment on the road their team responded well after getting BLOWN OUT in week one. If you say that they get no credit for that, then put UMHB with other two loss teams. Is a loss a loss, or not? Play it the same for everyone in 2006. And Averett also has established themselves as the top team in a conference that beat a top ten team (UMHB) in 2006.
    If the 2006 versions of Bridgewater, CNU and W & L have been worthy of votes so is the 2006 version of Averett. I'm sure you still disagree - fine - but don't act like there isn't anything to be said about the 2006 Cougars.
To all newbies - don't run your mouth until the team you're pulling for wins the big game. (please refer to Eh-You's karma for more details)

Pat---Can you clearify what this means (Who's in: Occidental (SCIAC), St. Norbert (MWC), Concordia, Wis. (IBC), Mt. St. Joseph (HCAC).


I read this on the front page of the site. Does this mean these teams from the conference are in a good spot for a lead to be sent into the postseason?????
