Upstate- Go to bed my man!!!

Pats final projections....

Wilkes Bracket
1. Wilkes (A)
2. Springfield (A)
3. St. John Fisher (C)
4. Hobart (C)
5. Union (A)
6. Rowan (A)
7. Dickinson (A)
8. Curry (A)
Hobart and Union are conference rivals, who do not need to meet in the first round as long as the NCAA's "geographic proximity" is maintained. Curry plays at Wilkes, Dickinson at Springfield, Union at St. John Fisher and Rowan at Hobart. Dickinson moves over because ... alas ... we do not project Cortland State to be in the bracket. More on those decisions later.

I think pat meant to flip Rowan and Union!

Actually he probably meant that Union is the 5th seed, but because of conference rivals do not play each other, the 4 will play 6 and 3 plays 5

Then what the heck is the sense of having them 5th instead of 6th?

Just a way of showing how they think the teams actually would be seeded based on strength.... THe South has had 6 vs. 7 or something like that before just to avoid a flight or conference rematch

Gay...

This is why I hate the NCAA....

Yeah -- you would have us deny Union the No. 5 seed so we can juggle the pairings? No thanks. What if Union and Rowan advanced and met each other? Then in your world the wrong team hosts.

You know Cortland, and Hobart, and


UW-LaCrosse, and St. Johns,


Capital, and Franklin, and


Hardin-Simmons and Wheaton


But do you recall


The most famous team of all




Fisher, the gold-helmet football team


had a very shiny helmet


and if you ever saw it


you would even say it glows.




All of the other football teams


used to laugh and call him names


They never let poor Fisher


play in any NCAA games.




Then one foggy November eve


Pat Coleman came to say:


"Fisher with your Helmet so bright,


won't you guide my bracket tonight?"




Then all the other teams loved him


as they shouted out with glee,


Fisher the gold-helmet football team,


you'll go down in stagg bowl history!

superman.......

I can't believe what I am about to do with your post....

             Get the E8 a national title boys....and nice post  +k

[superman57]

bob, I know how much that had to hurt, so +K to you for that

[BobNapoleone]

It's not about hurt at this point....we have "banked" a pretty incredible experience with The BOMBERS in d3 (not sure the team is on board yet).....but now...it's about respect.....I think the Cardinals have the tools...balanced on offense and defense.......easily the best team we faced this year....

and as for superman57.....maybe, just maybe....he becomes the objective Fisher guy in the post season....never know!


        EMPIRE 8 in the NCAA's......         

[boobyhasgameyo]

I object, I am the objective Fisher guy lol

[BobNapoleone]

FDC was again HUGE at the game......some "FDC wannabes" were quelled quickly...nice job!

As to the game....Cortland Congrats...well played and good luck in the playoffs.


Bombers....one and all...what a ride..the last four years have been amazing....
the "feelings" after yesterday will come to be replaced by a lot of pride...and a feeling of belonging to one of the most successful Institutions in the nation...in the classroom as well as on the field...


The Bomber family grows every year.....

                   "Simply the best..........."

          BOMBER Football...reloadin' for 2007.....!!!!!           

[BobNapoleone]

I object, I am the objective Fisher guy lol

OK...so maybe we get three with Upstate, four with er1948.....maybe....?

[BobNapoleone]

Who's ready for Springfield and SJF to host Union and Hobart (respectively)??

And two wins.....?? Union is a monster with Angiletta back.....not sure about Hobart.....may be tough to call.....GO E8!!!!

Either way I think both games would be "monsters"....

[BobNapoleone]

That's enuff from Rochester....I'm outta here...good luck with the pairings to be announced.....!!!!
