Atlantic Central Football Conference/Independents

Im going to hold my tongue for the most part.... but I will say this: I think Wesley can win if they limit the mistakes (which they can do). Same with Whitewater. This Wesley team is going to bring it and I think if they play their game then they will win.

One more thing: I think Mount got the "easier" bracket. just look at the combined records of the teams theyve played. (I probably know that these numbers are essentially worthless.... but I got bored.  )

Mount      36-10
Wesley     42-4
Whitewater   44-1

mount doesnt need defending, but they can only play who they get after the first round.  it is not thier fault teams lost that had better records.  and come on waterboy, why hold your tongue?

[HScoach]

skunks, well at least someone else is jumping into the fray.  i agree, this will be the best team that uww will have faced this year.  you know i will be there next week, hope that i will be cheering for the team against you this time because i will be wearing their jersey.  if not, i will be cheering for mount,  i am hoping to get back on hscoach's xmas card list.   he said the beer i am bringing is not enough of a bribery.

As you may remember from your last trip to A-town, I don't drink.  Haven't touched the stuff in 20 years.  You need to try again. 

How about a Coppage voodoo doll?  That might work.

[wesleydad]

hscoach, if i have one of those, you wont need it because it will be used this week.  forgot the other part, may be bringing some jambalaya for the tailgate, will that work?

[paulisdeadman]

I think Wesley wins but in a tight one.  Wesley D bends but doesnt break. O does enough to win.

Wow, HSCoach and I actually do have something in common besides Purple Raiders. Between us there is 40 years without a drink. No wonder we get so crabby.

Not sure anybody in his right mind thought anything besides Mount got almost a free ride to this point.

Skunks-
I'm not going to say that Mt wouldn't be where they are now if they played a tougher schedule, but surely you can acknowledge they have had the easier playoff road-no?  That's not to diminish Mt in any way, it's just the facts.
When you have a few minutes, take a look at the passing efficiency ratings of teams that UWW played.  All three playoff teams have QB's with higher ratings than any team Mt has played this year.  The highest rated qb Mt played this year played at Oshkosh- a WIAC school.

My point is simply that UWW has played some really diverse and skilled offenses that have presented challenges that Mt probably hasn't seen this year.

Mt probably hasn't seen this year.  

Bing, Bing, Bing we have a winner in the annual "Mount Union has never seen" contest.

They practice against a better offense than most teams see in three or four years, but I digress.......

So now you are trying to recruit UMU fans to jump on the Wesley bandwagon.    Well that may happen, but after 5 years of playing UMU in the finals, I have a healthy respect for them and I believe they have a healthy respect for UWW.  While we banter and we argue stats etc....we still have a healthy respect.  In fact they have some of the most knowledgeable posters on all the Boards.  I fully expect them to win this week and we will see if UWW will see them again in Salem.

Again seventiesraider speaks the truth.  Another year has just added more wisdom

SF......70's was actually one of those hippies back in the day.  Of course he was then "doing this thing" over in "Nam while I was still riding my Schwinn with high handlebars.

Emma....until you have ran the juggernaut that is the EAST for three years like Mount has, you don't know what diverse adversity really is all about.  Those guys are really sarcastically intelligent, and at times they can just HURT with their barbs.  And then there is that media icon Frank Rossi who just HATES Mount and all it represents.  He has all these Rossites that follow him blindly.  Let me tell you...it's a tough road to journey for us Mount fans.  Ohhhhh......you were talking about the TEAMS.....ummm..yah.....it hasn't been that big of a challenge the last few years.

Tough journey   Forgive the rest of us DIII fans if we fail to feel sorry for Mount Union. the toughest thing you have to deal with is deciding what hotel to book in Salem.....in September.
