FB: Presidents' Athletic Conference

[Cleveland Cartel]

I think we were all shocked to see that score but those scores were not on long sustained drives.  My prediction of Buggey being shutdown was not all that true either!  As Buggey threw for a TD and I believe ran the kickoff back 100 yards to the house.  Too bad they could not get him going on the run game, because then it might of actually been a game!

Any comments on the Bible team from Minnesotta winning two games on Saturday!  That is true preserverance and determination on their part and a huge congrats for being able to pull that off.  I do not know how good or bad the two teams they played but from what was said earlier the Bible school was not that great themselves.  Congrats again!  Maybe they should two games every saturday! 

Any more info on those two games would be great!!! Hint Hint Wink Wink Pat Coleman!

Bob,

I was not attacking the point total WJ gave up to Westminster....but you guys are using scores to say whether or not a win was impressive or not.   

In my opinoin defense starts at the point a team kicks the ball, meaning the coverage teams are a part of defense because they determine field position....the only shady score I see there is the snap over the QB's head in garbage time. 

I see your point, Cartel.  But against a good defense, you aren't going to see sustained drives for TD's.  Lets face it, you need to suprise a good defense to score on them.

a win is a win though, and thats all that matters. 

I was simply responding to those saying TMC isn't impressive because of the scores of their games.

Northwestern (Minn) beat Trinity Bible & then Macalester in the double header game you refer to & there is an extensive write-up linked through the "week 6 scoreboard" page.

Pat,

How much negative Karma does one need before being banned from the board? Just curious.

[Cleveland Cartel]

Thanks for the reply...

[Pat Coleman]

And we'll have more coverage on Northwestern's day in Around the Region, when our West region guy files.

Anyone who watches the market around here?? FYI the market is down 34 points....the Dow is at 10263.33.  Bad few days but Oil is down to 60.60 maybe a little relief at the pumps....

Roughly Half Way through the season.

How would you rank the PAC order of finish now???

1. Thiel
2. W&J
3. Thomas More
4. Waynesburg
5. Westminster
6. Grove City
7. Bethany

Player of 1/2 year: Edwards QB W&J

Coach of 1/2 year: J. Liepheimer

Potential Playoff Teams?

Thiel & W&J

With a loss to both of these and Hanover can Thomas More get in???

[SaintsFAN]

Thomas More will not get in with 3 losses.  They have to win out to be assured of getting a playoff bid.

[Cleveland Cartel]

I wouldn't be so bashful on your saints there Saints Fan.  With the opening of 4 more playoff slots this year, and the PAC finnally getting an automatic bid due to the 7 teams that can only help them than make things worse. 

[Pat Coleman]

The PAC will get its automatic bid in 2007.

[Vince McMahon]

The only way ANY team will get into the playoffs with three losses is if they win the Automatic Qualifier.  Even in the OAC's heyday, I don't remember any teams ever making it with more than 2.  

I don't usually post here.  I'm an Allegheny alum who played for coach Leip. Just like to check the PAC vibe once in awhile.  

[SaintsFAN]

With no Automatic Playoff Bid, the Saints NEED to win out. 

Not being hard on them, but the loss to Hanover means they need to be 9-1 to have a shot.

[PittTBCW]

Saints Fan,

I am not sure but I think you may be right. They need to be at worst 8-2 with a win over W&J or Thiel to get in.

What do you think would happen if:

TM finishes 8-2 (Loss to Thiel)
Thiel finishes 10-0
W&J finishes 8-2 (Other loss to TM)

Who would get in?

Or

Thiel goes (9-1) loss to TM
W&J goes (9-1)
TM goes (8-2) loss to W&J

What I am trying to say is that could a PAC team actually knock out a PAC team or actually help a 3rd PAC team get in.

Just curious!
