So has anyone had a bit of fun and filled out your predictions for this playoff tourney? So I had a bit of time and pulled a crazy scenario...and so far there has been no guys in white suits with a straight jacket showing up but.....being a Crunatic I pulled my choices and they came to a UMHB/Wesley stagg bowl... I didn't go into it lightly, TLU and Linfield would (in my guestimate) be a tough game but being biased I took a close win.
My Whitewater loss is strictly by sciencetition, we lost by 1 at home last year...so in turn we should win by 1 at their home..totally scientific (Hear that Whitewater you have to honor the agreement)....I do however believe Wesley is a very very good team and have no reservations in believing they will sweep their bracket... either way, whether it is Whitewater or UMHB, Linfield or even TLU, methinks even a Chapman run? huh  huh, I see the bowl up against a powerfully strong Wesley. to be honest, I just want to see some awesome football...go to games, see the crowd go nuts, I loved sitting by Couchcru11 at ETBU, that is the kind of crunatics we need at all the games. So yeah, I pulled a crazy scenario but who knows right?

Morrgen and couchcru11,

I was at the ETBU game. I sure wish we could have connected. If either are you are going to be at The CRUthedral this week, let's meet up.

UP with the PURPLE!

I'll definitely be there on Saturday.  We have season tickets on the upper deck, 2 rows from the front.  35 yard line.  I sit right in front of crufootball at every game.  Would love to meet some of you other guys.

It's kinda cute, TLU fans think they will take over the Cruthedral...1 spirit bus going.. better bring like oohhhhh 9 more to get close to taking anything...I would say this is a call for Full mobilization of ALL Crunationalists...All Crunatics are called to attend...Lets provide TLU with a great reception, a loud rowdy crowd and a memorable ride home...more memorable than last game.

Kelly I was I was on like the third row up..Couch was two rows behind..we were the ones watching the game and shouting about MU and Whitewaters games....Couch had a classic sign..one was "Sorry Seniors" he held up during their Senior day presentation...sent one fan into a conniption fit...that was just awesome...then he had a sign 99 or bust...(99 points)

I was thrilled to see that Wesley and UMHB were on the opposite sides of the bracket.  It would have sucked to see them have to play each other in the semis.  I think both teams deserve a straight shot at the purple jerseys......  I would love to be able to see the Crusader mascot dancing around once again.  That guy is absolutely hilarious.

Oh man, that lady was nuts! I was just glad I had some support from CRUnation. It was quite fun hearing others pick up on the chants and yells. Let's see how many will jump on board this week!

To add to that, here is an interview Coach Pete gave with the local ESPN radio station.

The CRU needs to come out strong and pick up where they left off on October 25th. UMHB does not need to let TLU believe they stand a chance. I do not expect The CRU to lose this game, but stranger things have happened in college football.

In 2001, Texas dominated Colorado in the regular season and won by a score of 41-7. In the Big 12 Championship game Colorado shocked the Longhorns and won 39-37.

UMHB needs to come out and leave no doubt from the opening kickoff to the final play.

Go CRU!

UP with the PURPLE!

Kelly,

I recall that upset too.  I hope history plays itself out again.  Go Bulldogs!
