I like where your head's at. I think this is the first time in a long time that the IIAC champ hasn't had to go through the MIAC or WIAC champ to just get to the quarters.

An interesting bracket. Not going to spend the time, but don't think the Knights (any IIAC member?) have faced a team from the HCAC.
Logan, you going to make the game?

I'm trying to figure out how I can convince my whole family to spend our family Thanksgiving in Waverly, but my sister has a newborn, so I don't have high hopes.

For the next 1 - 10,000 weeks I am a Central fan, but it would be nice to see an IIAC team make a deep run in the playoffs.  I tried to say I could be a (cough, cough) fan for a few weeks, but it just couldn't quite make it out.  Always an IIAC fan though!  That said, good luck to the Knights.  Represent us well!

These brackets suck.... most of us Linfield guys want another rematch with Warburg!... Always has been close... same with Central we'd like a rematch with them too!... Good luck Knights!

[Outside the Crate]

Thank you, Bluenote...  Linfield's talented president, of course, is a product of the Iowa Conference, too (Luther).  Perhaps we can meet in the championship game!  Oops, must be drinking too much of that Oregon wine...

I agree, most of Coe's players are Sr's. Makes one wonder if they got credit for what the Kohawks did in '16 not how they performed in '17?
