I dont know if the Thiel kicker from last year would have been able to make that field goal in OT--what do you think clevelandcartel??

[Pat Coleman]

I'm surprised you guys haven't started ripping into the coaches' poll.

TMC's Carlisle will win DPOY for this season...

[Dutch12]

Because Thiel doesn't have history as a top program it looks like most voters are assuming W&J isn't nearly as good as they thought rather than believing Thiel can beat a top 10 team at this point.  As has been pointed numerous times recently the polls really are nothing more than a topic for discussion.  As long as you keep winning you will continue to gain respect.

PAC ALUM:

If any kicker misses from 26 yards out he does not deserve his job....

To Dutch: Keep winning is the best remedy for anything!


TO Pat:  What do I have to do to have some positive karma points? 

and Also i want some more predictions out of this board!!!  Burgh Boy Saints Old Phart, and the MAn the Myth and GURU Pat Coleman And PACalum

I'm surprised you guys haven't started ripping into the coaches' poll.

Can you believe W&J dropped that far???  Still more evidence that the D3 poll is SO much more knowledge based.....

How's THAT, PAT?

[Pat Coleman]

Just want to make sure the whiners from Thiel realize who has the better poll.

[Cleveland Cartel]

HAHA

Pat you guys are the best around!!!

Come on I deserve some positive Karma for that comment

[Dutch12]

Never again will I challenge the depth of knowledge and insight of those who bestow upon us their comprehension of Divison 3 football weekly in the form of the D3 poll.  Clearly the  AFCA is clueless.

Cleveland,

My predictions for this weeks games are:

Thiel over GCC 35-7

W&J over Westminster 49-0

Waynesburg over Bethany 24-13

Pat,

I have a quick question for you.  Hopefully you don't take this the wrong way--you do a great job with this site. 

How are the teams of the week picked after they are nominated?  I was just curious---I don't know if the players have to be nominated.  I'll be honest--I was thinking I would have seen Mark Carlisle or another member of TMC's team could have been on there through 5 weeks..

Maybe you've told me before but I don't remember...

[Pat Coleman]

The Team of the Week is determined by staff from nominations by coaches and SIDs. Thomas More has nominated its share of players (two in the past three weeks), they just haven't made the cut.

I can't tell you too much about how we select them specifically, because it depends on the week and the position. I can tell you I do tend to favor solo tackles as a measurement on defense because those are a lot less subjective -- assisted tackles seem to vary depending on the spotter/scorekeeper.

That's about all I have.

[SaintsFAN]

Thanks Pat.

Predictions for the Week:


WJ vs Westmin:  Edwards and the Crew take all out all aggression on Westmin with a dominating offensive performance.  Edwards throws for 5 TD's while Krepps takes a Punt to the house and catches 2 TD in the game.  Zitzelberger has a game on the ground rushing for over 120 yards and a score.  Westmins Buggey gets shut down for the entire day but will pick up 45 yards on the ground.

Final Prediction: 59-6

GCC vs Thiel:

Tomcats get back at it this week with a 38-9 victory over GCC and hold on to control of the CUP.  Satterfield throws for 248 and 2 touchdown passes.  While the ground game leads the way with Minton and Helmans rushing for a total of 190 and a pair of scores.  Throw in a field goal by the confident Koyl  and the game is in hand for the Tomcats, but the Wing T could pose some fits for the team to start, but GCC will manage to run for just around 90 yards and pass for over 130 in a controlled game for the Tomcats.

Final Prediction:  38-9

Waynesburg vs. Bethany

The yellow jackets get back on track with a solid showing against a improving Bethany Bisons.  Ables runs for over 165 with a couple of scores.  Hunter and Hawkins speed is too much for Bethany to handle they each have break out games with a score each and over 100 yards receiving for one of those too.  Can you say Dante Hall? Thats exactly what they bring to the table!  The D shuts down Bethany for the most part but Bethany will score by the means of Milton Joyner.  The young sensation is is exciting to watch once the ball gets into his hands. 

Final Prediction:  42-13

TMC is off and a well rested defence will be back next week to wreck Havoc on their next victoms!

It doesn't pertain to the PAC, but there is a good article in the USA Today about the Willamette head football coach who was born with no hands.  Pretty inspiring story.
