South Willy -- I think that you're absolutely correct about the margin of victory in the WC - BC contest. How could two wins over mediocre opposition (GCC&TMC) have transformed Waynesburg into a rushing juggernaught in the minds of so many ? Weakly (sic) rushing totals for the Jackets have been -13, 78, 97 & 118 !
Only against lowly Grove City did they rush for respectable yardage, 234. Has Rick Shepas turned it around ??? What a metamorphosis that would be! I'm not convinced. Upset (or is it?) special of the week - Bethany 17 Waynesburg 10. Ouch!
Other winners; Thiel, W&J & Frostburg.

PAC fan how is it that Bethany is now a juggernaut and a threat to win the conference and this game when they have beat lowly competition and been blown out by Thiel. Waynesburg ran all over mediocre GCC but Bethany won by 7 against them and couldnt run on them so now who is mediocre. Bethany is more respectable now under an actual coaching staff instead of the spare parts coaching staff of before. I think they are on the right track and will get more talent to compete over the years but they are still a pretender in the conference.  I think Waynesburg  has a lot more talent than Bethany and for that reason they will win this one easily.

BC is certainly not a juggernaut but certainly neither is Waynesburg. Bethany beat GCC by 7 but gave them the ball inside the BC 25 twice and a late TD in the last minute when it didn't matter. WC beat them by 11. Since when is running for 142 yds not being able to run and that's plus 220 yds through the air compared to 64 for WC against GCC. Bethany is 2nd in TOffense and 1st in scoring while WC is last in Toffense and 6th in scoring.
BC got whipped by Thiel, WC got whipped by Wesley and Wooster and was beat by the lowly competition at home (Shenendoah). They beat TMC after their deflating OT loss to Thiel. Home field and homecoming weekend give WC a big edge but if they are looking ahead to Thiel and W & J, the upset is definitely possible.

Great Stuff Guys!!!

CC,

No JV game is at 2 this weekend instead of 10 am.

Prediction Time:

Bethany - 24 @ Waynesburg - 42

Waynesburg seems to have finally got on track. Bethany is much improved this year and did get their first PAC win in a while, but Waynesburg rushing attack is way to much. 

Thiel -33 @ GCC-10

Thiel is hurting after the heart break loss but they will not let down as they battle for the Mercer Cup. GCC will have their hands full as the Tomcats look to take out some frustration. The Darkside returns to form and holds GCC under 250 yards and the offense clicks.

TMC-27 @ Frostburg-0

The Saints's offense caught up with the defense last week. They roll on the road thanks to the turnovers they force against Frostburg.

Westminster- 14 @ W&J - 52

Its simple math Homecoming + Luke + Commish = Victory. W&J rides the momentem of their come from behind win last week vs Thiel. The defense continues to make plays and the offense continues to roll as the solution is still not found on how to stop it.

Good Luck Everyone!!!

GO TOMCATS!!!

Bob,

WOW.  Nice guest list there....so the Pittsburgh mayor is a youngster eh?  I'd love to hear or see some links to his story, if you have them.

smbernacki,

Thats a great, and insightful first post.   Welcome to d3.com postpatterns.  I know I speak for the others here when I say, we look forward to future posts that show the same thought process.

PAC FAN,

It would be an upset.

Wes --  Bethany a juggernaut ? Did I say that ? Hardly ! But, it wouldn't take a juggernaut to beat Waynesburg. BTW, where was all that "talent" against Shenandoah ?!

Bob.Gregg

SaintsFan, the Mayor may be a "youngster" but he's no stranger to Pittsburgh and Allegheny County politics.

As far as the Commissioner, how the world has changed since he last walked these streets.  And how the NFL has changed since his days at W&J....

I'm looking forward to the interviews and I'll try to post them to our website post-game.

Some solid outings by PAC teams today including the pounding of the titans at Cameron stadium with a 50- 7 drubbing.

Everyone was 4-0 this week except myself as TMC fought off a tough Frostburg State team out on the east coast today.  Great victory for Tmore also congrats on that accomplishment.  Beating them means more than just a moral victory for Thomas More, but I believe that is the first victory over frostburg in the last 3 years for any PAC team. 

Here are the overall standings:
                      Record       Winning Percentage
AC                    11-3                    .857
Cartel               14-8                    .636
Mantooth         20-11                  .645
Pitt                   16-11                  .592

Tomcats solid W for the Mercer County Cup!

Cleveland -- Waynesburg beat Frostburg in '03 & '04. Hats off to the Yellow Jackets for the solid victory over Bethany. Next week at Greenville will tell the tale.

Bob,

Great links and I listened to the full interviews.  I was really interested in hearing Luke's interview being that I played against him and that he is young in terms of being the mayor of a major city.  By the sounds of his voice and dedication to the job his youth is clearly an advantage and I hope he wins the elections which are coming up next year. 

Thanks again for the links...

Hey, PAC posters, where is the chatter? Big game this weekend between Waynesburg and Thiel. While there are no post-season implications here, winner could be in the mix for PAC title, or at least a share of it. I am sure picks by CC and others will be forthcoming

I think Thiel fans are still shocked/ dissapointed after the fake reverse wide receiver "trick play" pass that got ran back for a TD against W&J and lost the game for Thiel.  Wish that play would have never happened.

As for this weeks game against Waynesburg, should be a good game.  Thiel O-Line is pretty banged up.  I dont see Waynesburg running the ball on Thiel, and I dont see Thiel putting many points on the board with a hurting O-line.  I am predicting a low scoring affair, but Thiel wins in the end because of their defense.

TC- 14
WC-7

While that play may have cost Thiel the game, it wasn't run back for a touchdown.  Cherish stepped out of bounds and W&J settled for field goal, keeping the door open for the Tomcats attempts at last-minute heroics.
