South Region playoffs

Wow it sounds like the CRU is playing well on both sides of the ball.

UMHB 63-7 late 4th qtr.

[Sader4life]

I do not think that Washington and Jefferson have faced a defense anywhere close to the caliber of Mary Hardin-Baylor's defense. Bobby Swallow is a great quarter-back and thoroughly deserving of his Second Team Preseason All-American honor. 275-413 passing for 3,551 yards and 36 touchdowns on the
season is pretty impressive. But I can't help but think if he has already been sacked 25 times this season he may be in trouble today, also expect the 5 INTs on the season number to go up. All the Saenz point to a big win for the Cru today. Call it confident, cocky, arrogant, dishing crow, but I will be surprised if the Cru does not win by three touchdowns today. Sure W&J is in the top 8 out of 239 teams in Division III (thats the top 3.35% of the DIII class) and had to be a good team to get here but in my opinion they are nowhere near UMHB's level and are going to struggle as in the past with a Texas team.

I apologize I was very wrong so very wrong, I probably need to stop all this prediction stuff altogether . This Crusader team is for real, and I know I am biased but I am pretty sure they had the best performance out of the four winning teams on Saturday. Its not to late to hop on the UMHB bandwagon people and all are welcome.

Wesleydad,  That made me laugh.  +1

[wesleydad]

bill, thanks for the karma.  besides, i am not sure if the umhb supporters that i have met, roocru, crualum39, toby taff, and several others, are on the same bandwagon as sader.

i am cheering for umhb as i have seen them for 3 straight years and i know how good they are.  i believe they will win this game if they keep playing as they have the past 2 weeks, no fear of uww, take it to them as they have wesley and wash and jeff.  if i did not already have my money spent on a trip to the stagg and then off to nashville for another week and a half i would be getting on a plane to see the game.

good luck to the cru.

Wesleydad,

We prefer to take our own wagons.

Wesleydad that was pretty funny, like I am serious, you made me smile. I usually have a comeback to every comment that is directed at me, but that was just too clever- I am at a loss for words.

You're at a loss for words?  I'm disappointed. 

[Bob.Gregg]

Good luck, Cru.

Win it all.  I really AM hoping you do.

Yeah I am pretty disappointed to. I was going to allude to the fact that Wesley isn't playing anyone this week or remind him that we beat his team, but that would have been mean and though they lost they were very classy about, didnt make excuses about the loss and left with my dignity and respect, so I couldn't bring myself to do something like that. I do admit if there was a D3football.com Post Patterns All American Jerk list I probably would be voted Team Captain and probably deservingly but know that attack people when they make weak excuses for why UMHB lost, or say something negative about UMHB and the exact opposite happens. Thats why I get along so well with my companions from Abilene .  Do I go over the top sometimes....... of course, do I enjoy being the jerk of d3football.com........I will leave you to answer that but lets just say I like to keep things interesting- and just to stir the hornets nest. I predict UMHB beats UW-Whitewater by three touchdowns  ha ha ha.

[SaintsFAN]

if you are designated "jerk of D3football.com", then you won't be around much to enjoy your notoriety.  Pat just suspeneded another guy in the East Region and I'm sure that when he gets around to your posts, he'll do the same if he views you as a troll on this board.

[wesleydad]

sader, i am glad that i was able to make a couple of people smile.  i would not have been offended by any comments about the beat down.  we stunk out the joint that day, no excuses.  the weather was nice, the field was good, and on that day your team was better, much better.  the band was a about half full i think due to the holiday and they didnt play during plays.  i didnt notice the cheerleaders from across the field so i guess they werent improperly dressed.  the refs didnt miss any calls except for the personal foul that coach drass took into his own hands by removing the offending player from the field.  i wish they would have come up with some phantom down by contact on some of the fumbles, but i still dont think it would have mattered. 

i have seen umhb for 3 years now and have the utmost respect for them.  i am openly cheering for them this week because i have met several posters from there and i enjoy talking to them and consider them friends from afar.  you are just like muledaddy on the centenial site, a strong supporter of your team who occasionally offends others with your bluntness.  in a p c world that doenst always fly.  i have been known to do that once in awhile myself.

good luck this week, enjoy it, i know we did the 2 years we lost to uww, the semis is a great place to be, but not good enough.  go cru.

[thewaterboy]

Id like to see the Cru walk away with this game. I think the score will be 30-27 Cru. I dont like seeing Mount and Whitewater in Virginia every year. Lets mix it up a little

Oh yes T, you get along just smashingly with the Abilene folks.
And you're right, UMHB is usually very dignified when we lose. What irks me is when some other teams blame our fans, or in last weeks case, the band for the loses. I remember once last year we beat someone by almost 40 points and the coach said it was our fans fault.
Seriously?
And if you weren't so spirited, I might be just a tad disappointed. In fact, I'm a little shocked you didn't have to say anything in return. Losing your comebacks?
Wesleydad- I'm glad that you like us. We're really not that bad once you get to know us.
GO Cru!
