McMurry video streams.  Hasn't LC video streamed home games this year?

[Toby Taff]

Since going back to the I, UMHB has thrown 7 TD passes and has no INTs.  Big plays have gone up.  TD passes of 28 yds, 90 yds, 45 yds, 29 yds, 37 yds, and 44 yds. 

You are correct, Bill, but don't discount the drop off in team quality over that same time as a reason. The toughest part of the schedule was played while running the pistol. your not comparing granny smiths to granny smiths. It's more like Granny Smiths to Red Delicious.

First off, as a former Washatonian, let me say that honey crisp apples are some of the best, especially cold, out of the fridge. As far as the remarks about the passing game, you are right on when you say things have gotten better. I'm no expert, so I can't pinpoint the reason. But, I'm glad to see it.

Our true test will come once playoff season rolls around. It's going to be interesting to see what the Louisiana and McMurry do. Wish I could see it.

Kelly Boggs said that LC does stream and posted a link a few weeks ago.

Toby, the facts are the facts and our production is better now.  I would love to have seen the first part of the season in the I.  I doubt we would have seen 10 INTs.  You can't convince me that LaCrosse is that good of a team.  HSU has lost 3 games and Mississippi College has lost 5 games, including a game to Sul Ross.  The decision to change the offense came after the MC game, when the offense was woeful.  I'll take the production in the last 3 games anyday, everyday.  I think the offense is now much more explosive and dangerous to the opposition.  That was never the case in the pistol.

LaCrosse beat OshKosh last night in an OT thriller.

I still think that they are a "top 60" team.

In reference to LC streaming games, see Toby's post above. I'm not vouching for quality, but the games are streamed.

[Top Notch]

The quality is pretty good actually. Sometimes it seems to buffer quite a bit but it's a first year thing and they are trying to work all the kinks out I believe.

READERS POLL ON D3FOOTBALL.COM

Which west coast playoff scenario is most likely?

Cal Lutheran to Linfield, Redlands out (10) - 15%

Redlands at Cal Lu, L&C at Linfield (12) - 18%

Redlands at Cal Lu, some random team at Linfield (14) - 21%

Redlands at Cal Lu, ASC runner-up at Linfield (15) - 22%

Redlands at Cal Lu, Linfield at UMHB (15) - 22%

How likely of a possibility is this really??? I'm hoping NOT very. Because if the No.4 and No.5 teams are playing eachother first round there is a problem. What does everyone else think? Maybe I'm confused, does this mean they could be playing eachother in the FIRST ROUND? Or is it saying later in the playoffs?

[Pat Coleman]

Nope, we are saying first round and while I went into it in more detail in the podcast, envision a scenario where we have three West Coast teams (two in SoCal) and three Texas/"Southwest" teams.

Admittedly, ASC runner-up to Linfield made more sense, which is why I included it. But the nightmare scenario makes sense from a penny-pinching angle.

[CruFrenzy]

Wow. That really would be a nightmare. Two GREAT teams.

Pat, do you mind me asking which option you think is most likely?

[Ralph Turner]

Before he states his opinion,  (and waiting for the Regional Rankings this week will help a bunch)

I think that Wesley knocks out Huntingdon, which removes HC from the equation.

If Trinity beats Centre, then

the McMurry at Louisiana College winner goes to Linfield;

Trinity goes to UMHB;

and Redlands goes to Cal Lutheran.

This seems like a likely scenario, yes.
