South Region playoffs

[Josh Bowerman]

Tartan, just give it up, will ya?  I appreciate your dedication to CMU, and how this great season must have you excited.  But you're just plain coming off as the south end of a north-bound mule...if you know what I mean.

Don't you mean the North end of a South bound mule?  This moving teams around to different regions is getting mighty confusing!!!  

LOL.  +1 for the good geography pun.  Even so, this doesn't really have as much to do with teams moving from one region to another, as it does who gets the last mandated Pool B bid.

I guess we could say, then CMU is safe and BDT can rest easy.

Once again I am misunderstood as being CMU CMU CMU CMU CMU CMU.  Josh, I was just asking a question and I predicted correctly that someone would have something to say about it.  Do I have to start everyone of my posts with "CMU or no CMU".  Like maybe I should of said.

CMU or no CMU what does history have to do with choosing playoff teams?

Does that help?

[Josh Bowerman]

My comments aren't related to CMU as much as they are related to your ongoing battle with Pat.

 If Millsaps beats Trinity, however, HSU and UMHB could either play each other or each host a first round game (one hosting a fly-in and the other hosting Millsaps).  It's hard for me to imagine Trinity winning next weekend and not hosting a first round playoff game, though.

It will be fun to see what happens.

Millsaps is a fly-in for both UMHB and HSU as well.

Ralph, I would really want to believe you...but given the penny-pinching ways of the AA, I wouldn't be surprised to see the first in-conference first round matchup in playoff history!

1999 PLU beat Willamette in the first round, 28-24 on their way to the Title.
2001 PLU beat Whitworth 27-26 in OT.

We may need to set up a ring for this....

[BDTartan]

No ring needed portgrad.  If it was a battle I would have had more to say.  I was just trying to explain myself.  Oh well, I guess I might as well just go back to the UAA board and say there huh?

[Josh Bowerman]

I stand corrected, Ralph.  But the AA has precedent on its side--which scares me!

That's no fun!  Does anyone even inhabit that board?  That's pretty much why I float around, my board doesn't have too much usually. 

[BDTartan]

Just me and cwru70 over on the UAA board for the most part.  But it ain't no fun here when everything I say is taken the wrong way and I have to try to explain myself and then my explanations are never good enough...........what's a guy to do?

[roocru]

Pat, is it just me or do you seem to follow me around and critique my posts??  All I was doing was pointing this out to snakehandler who said he wasn't convinced CMU would get by Bethany.  I was just telling him that they did more than get by.  I am well aware of what Thiel did to Bethany.  But its also funny that Thiel needed OT to beat Thomas Moore and Bethany came back and beat Thomas Moore so that doesn't really show anything in and of itself.

BD Tartan,

I sympathize with you but look at it this way.  I looked on Pat's personal page and between 10:34 and 10:44  he made five posts.  Two were to you on the South Regional Board, one on the E8 Board, one on the OAC board and one on the ODAC board.  His job is to moderate his entire site and it is my opinion that as he surveys the different boards, he makes short, pithy comments to posters.  He cannot take time to write missives explaining all parts of his posts. 

This chat board is just like email in that there is no body language or facial expressions to see with each post to better understand them.  He obviously is not waiting for you to post so he can respond just by looking at the number of posts he makes all over the board.   You , me or any other posters cannot read into all posts things that may or may not be there.  You do sound like a reasonable guy with good information to post.   

From seven years experience on the board; relax, take time before you respond to think about what you are going to say, be polite, and enjoy these boards as what they are for, the sharing of opinions.  If you don't you get closer to sounding like Eh you and that is an awful thought to consider. 

[Josh Bowerman]

Something tells me we won't be hearing much from Eh-You for a while, Rick!

[Ralph Turner]

I stand corrected, Ralph.  But the AA has precedent on its side--which scares me!

Josh, would you rather see UMHB and HSU matched in the first round, or both sent on the road to different regions at #8 seeds?

[Josh Bowerman]

That's not going to happen, Ralph--one of 'em has to play the Trinity/Millsaps winner.   

But hypothetically, I'd take the rematch any day.

[BDTartan]

Oh great!!  I'm being compared to that guy?!?!  I doubt anything I've posted on here has come close to his antics and I doubt I ever will.  Needless to say, I'm done with this.  I'm tired of beating my head against the wall.

Why is it that Wash. U is credited with the UAA's only playoff game when CMU played one against Lycoming in 1990??
