Utah-  What you're telling me is that it doesnt matter how many teams you beat that have winning records?  Mt. Union is a bad example.  However, take any top 4 team in the E8.  Suppose they were to only play teams that were in the top 20 in the nation.  Would their record be the same?  Prolly not.
Now take those same top four and have them play 10 games against the worst 20 in the nation.  Is their record the same?  Prolly not.
Opponents winning percentages absolutely matter.  Isn't that one of the criteria looked at when getting into the tourney for bubble teams?  Why do you think they look at that?  Because anyone can beat up on the cupcakes that Husson strung together 7 wins against.

Read what I said. I said to put it into context.  I mean they aren't even in a league!  You have to look at the whole body of work.  Most teams in leagues are going to play 50% teams with winning records and 50% teams with losing records.  And the non-league games depend on how the other teams do.  Its not Ithacas fault that Kings and Frostburg had losing records, or that Lycoming and Cortland had winning records does it?

Why are we even talking about Husson?   Oh wait, who else we gonna talk about....the E8 has been summarily dismissed from the NCAA's and post season.

Why not a bit more love to Bart for Saturday?  (I'm assuming you can't possibly get behind Cortland)  I played against the "top 4" E8 teams every year when I was in school, so there's plenty of history between Bart and the bulk of the E8.

kazoo- where is the commish title
have i given it up?
is there going to be an election?

After saterday's 1-3 record on my watch, I stepped down as commish.  Pep was able to lead the E8PP to a 3-3 postseason record last year with 3 teams making the dance.  Hopefully my successor will be able to return the E8PP to its former glory...

Mt Ida is the only team up there that beat Plymouth State I believe.  And do you even realize how ridiculous you sound acting like Husson is something really special (not dismissing them) compared to Mt Ida?  Any other year you would be sitting here saying they all stink... but since you played Husson now they're ok... beat it

Bo - learn how to read. I'm not saying, nor have I said that Husson was anything special. I'm simply pointing out the facts- relatively new program, only losses prior to SJF were to D2 schools.

That's not building them up, its just not dismissing them like they don't belong.



Sorry my mistake... you see I cant read so I wasnt sure what you really said... as a matter of fact i'm not sure what i am writing right now...

My response to your first comment was appropriate .... now excuse me i need to get back to my hooked on phonics

Then there is the biggest, baddest, meanest Dick ever.


But then I couldn't post that without posting this.


Ditka is close to Dick.

I find it prudent at this point to remind you that you played soccer. . .
