They're the only one hosting an NFL camp -- that's unfettered access to national media.

HAHA like I said Pat a higher(o..k richer) power..
Maybe that was in the contract to use the facilities

Another day closer to kickoff!!!

Interesting that the kickoff predicts W&J, Thiel, and Waynesburg all to finish with a 5-1 record in the conference. I think thats a pretty good prediction.

South Willy · August 22, 2007, 03:25:16 PM

If that prediction comes true, what is the tiebreaker for the PAC? Also, I'm a little surprised TMC isn't getting a little more respect as I think they could be in the 5-1 or 4-2 mix.

PittTBCW · August 22, 2007, 09:42:45 PM

I agree South Willy...I talked to a good source and they said that Waynesburg is down this year. We all will see very soon!

SaintsFAN · August 23, 2007, 08:59:34 AM

The Saints are going to have to earn the respect here in the PAC....I believe they will..

South, I'm surprised that someone as web-savvy as you didn't have this already....

From the PAC Manual:

Tiebreaker for NCAA automatic qualifier (AQ): 1) Head-to-head competition, 2) Record against the highest-ranked team in the conference not involved in the tie. In the case of a three-way tie, it would be the fourth team. In case of a four-way tie, it would be the fifth-team, etc. If the records against that team are the same, it goes to the next highest team not involved in the tie, etc., 3) Strength of schedule for all games using the NCAA playoff selection strength of schedule formula, 4) Record vs. common non-league opponent(s), and 5) overall record. Note: if one team is eliminated, the tiebreaker begins again at step #1.

Thanks Bob...Being a loyal Bison fan, I've had little need for the playoff scenarios but hopefully in the future. I knew you guys would have the facts.

I would have never guessed the #2 scenario for the 3-way tie.

Do we have some new Geneva faithful on the site? Nice welcome to the PAC, Thiel and W & J to start the season! I noticed St. V got the other end of the conference, West & BC.

PittTBCW · August 23, 2007, 02:03:15 PM

Any word on any of the scrimmages yet?

I think Thiel had a scrimmage vs AC yesterday but I am not sure.

South Willy · August 23, 2007, 02:09:51 PM

Thiel came out on top 6-0. Story said AC used 10 different QB's!!!

PittTBCW · August 24, 2007, 02:05:13 AM

wow...glad to hear hope the Tomcats are in for a great year in Greenville and can surprise the folk in Washington!!!!

One thing is for sure that Coach Leip will have the boys fired up and ready to play week in and week out

the_burghboy · August 26, 2007, 04:14:01 PM

Hey folks. Checking in.

Sorry to see summer ending, but glad to see football starting. Looking foward to the new season and to talk football here.

Thankfully, I will be going to the nearly all of the W&J games, and it looks like it matches well with the Pitt schedule, especially since it's against my religion to watch Division I 'cupcake' matchups.

Wes Mantooth · August 27, 2007, 10:23:07 AM

Any word from the W&J vs. Mount Scrimmage? Like to hear how the Prez faired against a fully loaded Purple Raider squad.

Bigernernwj69 · August 27, 2007, 10:56:20 AM

Well i think that W&J got a little mount treatment on Saturday. Mount had a week more of practice and are getting ready for there first game this week. while W&J was coming off there first week of practice. The presidents know where they need to improve. I think that it is a good test to see where the kids stand when you face the best team in D3. I am sure that W&J could get an easier team to scrimmage, but when they play against the Purple Raiders the coaches are able to see what kids can play and what kids poop and pee down their legs. Does anyone else in the PAC really have any tough teams they scrum b4 the season starts? What's the deal with AC why are they trying out so many QB's against Theil? Did the Tomcats hurt some of the QB's? What are they games to watch in the PAC besides Theil and W&J Oct 6? Wes I heard that one time you ate four Pizza's and played a whole dynasty in a 18 hour time period? is there truth to this rumor?
