Hey I thought the USA South would get three soccer teams in!!

I think the Capts travel and Im starting to believe more and more by the minute that they will be wheels up on a plane thursday or friday for Hardin-Simmons. Deep in the  HEART of TEXAS!!!

Congrats to CNU and AU.  Great seasons.  My Scots are getting better.  Their young, only 4 starters grad out this year.  So, maybe next year we'll be more competitive.  I read these post often.  However, this is my first post.  I normally don't complain alot or make many predictions, although I do have my opinions.  However, I was really disapointed with the AU fans this past saturday.  There were alot of rude, crude and uncalled for comments from the AU fans.  I have no porblem with being excited and pulling for a team. I even enjoy old fashion ribbing between fans.  However, college football is no place for the comments I heard yelled out Saturday.  I feel very confident that MC fans would not allow this kind of classless stuff to take place at our home field. I will return in two years for another great game. Maybe the jerks, I ment gentelmens, kids will be gone so we want have to endure comments this classless the next go round.  Have a great off season and goodluck to all next year.

I dont like to look ahead, but if CNU wins and UMHB wins, it will mean three meetings between the Capts and UMHB in what, about a year!

The Presidents went 9-1 in the regular season and 6-0 in the Presidents' Athletic Conference and received an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament. This will be the third time these two teams have met, with all three meetings coming in the NCAA Tournament.

I am not claiming infallibility, but I prefer to believe that the SID knows and trusts the information on these sites as something to double-check when a possible error has been cited.

Congrats to the Captains for getting a playoff game at POMOCO!

[Rikki_Tikki_Tavi]

You never know Ralph!! They may have been writing it in haste or forgot, as I did, the PAC does not have an automatic bid!!

[CNU85]

plus the CNU website is always written in haste...always errors...such as the article about CNU winning yesterday.....they get the playoff bid "do to" beating AU in the head to head.....I don't think the CNU writer is an English major...

My first thought is to give hard-working SID's credit.

Now as for the ability of the NCAA to execute a playoff according to the Handbook...
