FB: Presidents' Athletic Conference

[jam40jeff]

At least this week, unlike in week one, we did what we might be expected to do against a weaker team.

Give up 33points?

Yeah, I'm worried about our defense.  We gave up 5 TDs and 364 yards passing to a team which had no TDs and 21 yards passing against Muskingum last week.

Perhaps I underestimated Muskingum https://www.d3football.com/seasons/2021/boxscores/20210911_uh1h.xml

I just came on here to say the same thing.

Just a 'heads up' for W&J long-timers....

The College has hired a company to handle the video feed of the home games.
That company is providing announcers for that broadcast.

If you want the WJPA Radio feed, it'll only be available at our website (not imbedded in the video feed):

http://us7.maindigitalstream.com/2418/

Not a commentary on the announcers who will be on the video feed (don't have any idea about them).
Just letting you faithful long-timers know.

That is a shame, Bob. I enjoy you, Mark, and Bill. Saturday I tried streaming the Thiel video while streaming your broadcast. Impossible to keep them synched. Thiel had no play by play, so the stadium "announcer" was all there was.  I guess we will learn more Saturday evening. Thanks for the heads up.

[Bob.Gregg]

Some streams let you pause and they pick up there.
Some streams say pause but they jump back to realtime when you resume.
That's the challenge....

THREE PAC players on this week's d3football Team of the Week!

RB Tre Vasiliadis, So., Carnegie Mellon
Vasiliadis ran for a career-high 263 yards on 39 carries and two touchdowns to help lead the Tartans offense in a 31-17 win at Geneva. He also added a receiving touchdown.

WR Dakota Romantino, Fr., Waynesburg
In just his second game as a Yellow Jacket, Romantino recorded the second-most receiving yards in a game in program history. The freshman exploded for nine catches, 260 yards and a touchdown during Waynesburg's PAC game against Case Western Reserve, a 66-33 loss.

LB Cam Norris, Sr., St. Vincent
Norris led a St. Vincent defense that surrendered just 173 yards and seven first downs in the Bearcats' 34-14 season opening win at Bluffton. He totaled five solo tackles, including four behind the line of scrimmage accounting for 13 yards. He had two sacks, including a second-quarter sack on which he forced a fumble.

Alright Region III fans, I'm willing to run the Regional Weekly Top 10 if I can get a balanced panel. If you are interested, you can either PM me or reply to this message and if I get enough responses maybe we can start next week. Looking for 1 or 2 people from each conference, but if I can get 5 voters total spread through at least 3 of our conferences I'll take it.

We'll run it mostly the same way Ralph has been doing it for years. Ranked 1-10 votes are due to me by PM by Tuesday at midnight, so if you can't commit to that, please don't offer. It's just not going to be worth it for me if I have to track people down every week. Votes will be anonymous in the published poll, but voters are free to discuss or post their own submissions.

It's a lot of fun, you learn about a lot of teams, and sometimes generates some good discussion. I always like being challenged on why I did things, but if you don't want to engage, that's fine also.

OK, it took me a few minutes to figure out precisely where the PAC sits in the new "Regional" scheme.

Seems about right.

The PAC puts the -ish in South Atlantic-ish.

Returning to the question of 11-team conference scheduling, I see that the d3 MAC currently has 11 members playing football and they play just 8 conference games. How do they determine which 2 teams a particular school won't play?

Impressive young man. Should be a great matchup btw the Spartans and Titans Saturday night. Good luck to both teams.

Perhaps underestimated Rochester as well. https://www.d3football.com/seasons/2021/boxscores/20210918_m6u5.xml
