FB: American Rivers Conference

[the_mayne_event]

Good luck to Coe this Saturday! Unfortunately I won't be able to make it to the game; instead will be at the Iowa @ Michigan game in the Big House cheering on the Hawks, but will be checking on here for updates...so please help keep me informed 

you can also follow D3Football and CoeAthletics on twitter for constant updates...

So if Wartburg, Central, and Coe all finish 7-1 in conference play, but for instance Wartburg beat both Central and Coe, they would get the AQ, even if their loss came to the worst team in the conference. 

This scenario is impossible b/c Coe or Central would have at least 2 losses....Wartburg education.     If we are talking 6-2, then you are correct.

I picked up on the math. I just chalked it up to that he lost count when switching from his left hand to his right hand when counting on his fingers.

I think it's from being in Dubuque too long.

That's probably it.  Math was never my strong suit anyway.

The Central Dutch doesn't have a mascot? What's with that?

[footballdaddy]

They're too cheap to have one. They're Dutch.

Even though it cost me "karma" last week:

BPD3 Level System Top 25

www.uwwfootball.blogspot.com

No offense bp, you are obviously a big fan of your team and put a lot of time into being a fan of the WIAC and d-3. But this is just plain silly. The only legitimate poll  (IMO) is right here on this web site. It already has 25 different levels. If one felt the need to break it into six groups, look at the number of points behind each team and the breaks between groups is pretty obvious. And with 25 voters across the country, one voters bias doesn't skew the results. The way you bounce teams in and out and up and down (especially WIAC teams) kind of flies in the face of your whole premise of grouping like teams together.

No offense taken. Not trying to replace the legitimate D3football poll.  Just trying to make the 7 looooong days between Saturdays a little more fun and a little more interesting!

I could have sworn that back in the dark ages, when I was in college, the Dutch had a mascot that resembled Herby Husker.

If I put together your comment and footballdaddys, Herby Husker is probably Centrals old mascot. They sold him to Nebraska.

Since it's Thursday night already, I feel safe to say this must be the quietest Coe/Wartburg week ever.

Since it's Thursday night already, I feel safe to say this must be the quietest Coe/Wartburg week ever.

I think it has to do with the present situation:  

Though both teams are undefeated, Coe is heavily favored and the Wartburg faithful know it.  Knight fans, while cautiously optimistic, understand a Wartburg victory would be viewed as an upset of epic proportions.  This results in fans not being very boisterous.  Coe fans on the other hand are almost looking at this as a sure thing.  After all they have already defeated the conference favorite and the Knights should be a mere annoyance similar to a gnat.  Yet, there is that little lingering doubt and should the unimaginable happen it would be tough eating crow for the next few weeks.  This also results in a somewhat subdued atmosphere here on the board.  Basically everyone is trying to avoid spreading bad karma on their favorite team.  I guess instead of playing it out here on a discussion board, we'll let the kids settle it Saturday afternnon.
