FB: Presidents' Athletic Conference

[Bmore BC]

Speed is an area that it appears BC has the advantage.  But that advantage appears to be limited to the running game.  W&J has three every play receivers with more catches than Awkard, and FIVE regulars with "Long" catches of more yardage than either Awkard or Morin, three of them with "Long"s also longer than Copeland and Oakes.  I think, weather cooperating, the Presidents will look to go vertical to stretch out BC, then run/pass underneath up & down the field.  And, I think the Presidents defense will try to force BC to go vertical.

Nice assessment of your prediction. I would mention do not be fooled about the recievers not putting up big numbers due to the RB's avg over 7 ypc. I would also mention that in BC's two toughest opponants on their way to an ODAC Championship HSC and W&L did not score many points. Lots of points were given up in garbage time during the year.

Definately think it will be an exciting game. If BC can control the clock and keep W&J off the field, then BC wins by two possesions. If not, it may come down to who has the ball last.

Spliskin,

Thanks for the link since Pitt is too lazy to add it in there after giving us the heads up about it!!!
HAHA

Less than 24 hours till Gametime....

CC,

I don't have all day to find links like some kickers I know...haha!

See you Saturday!

[PittTBCW]

Spliskin,

I got A's in all of my computer classes at Thiel. I had to grade tests and before they started coming in I was reading the paper saw the article and figured I would mention it in Post Patterns. I knew someone would hook it up with the link. I know I am good, but I can't do everything....HAHAHA


Go Tomcats!!!

Good Luck Presidents!!!

[PittTBCW]

Found another article on ncaasports.com about Thiel

Thanks for the link Pitt. I stand corrected.

[PittTBCW]

HAHA Just playing with you spliskin!!!

Glad we can have some fun even though its playoff time!

[PittTBCW]

Just thinking about this and I don't know why.

If the PAC was to say keep expanding and have 10 or more teams. Could there be a North/South or East/West division and have a championship game like the Big XII at Heinz Field the last week of the season for the automatic bid into the playoff field.

Any thoughts

probably just dreaming but just curious on your thoughts

Pitt,

That had to be the dumbest post ever on D3's history and you made everyone who reads that post that much dumber...Thank you!

[Bob.Gregg]

Actually, Cartel,  you're off the mark!

While I don't expect to see PAC expansion to 12 teams, it is possible.

And, given the PAC's ties to the Rooney family (yes, THAT Rooney family), a PAC title game at Heinz wouldn't be dismissed out of hand, albeit extremely unlikely.

CC go kick field goals or something

[Cleveland Cartel]

Bob,

You know too much info!

Pitt,

Alaways having someone else fighting your battles sounds familar!

[Bob.Gregg]

CC (& Coke--that sounds very good right now!)

It's my JOB to know things, lots of things.

But if a "B" doesn't get a "C" one of these years pretty soon, I'll be looked at as the Chicken Little of the Post Patterns!

[Bob.Gregg]

Buckle 'em up, baby.

"Where the hills of Pennsylvania greet the western lee,
Stands our dear old Alma Mater, throned in majesty.
Ring her praises, never ceasing.  We shall always say,
Thee we honor, Alma Mater.  Honor W & J!"

I'm just wondering how many YOUNG alums (under 45) actually know those words?

Enjoy the day, alot!

And good luck Thiel, too!

[Bwana]

Damn great game...some of the hits out there, especially one WJ laid on a BC receiver at the end of the first half, still have my head ringing!

[religion_major]

Great game on both sides.  The BC defense showed that it has improved tremendously over the course of the season. 

Any thoughts on next week's Bridgewater/Thiel game yet?
