Looks like all 5 of us voters who replied to the Shoes poll had it correct!

One of the best football games dlip has seen in sometime! dlip couldn't be happier for the Dutchmen!

A new baby girl and a win in the Shoes game. dlip is on a roll. Perhaps he should buy a lotto ticket today.

USMMA beats SLU 33-12.  Best season for the Mariners since 2003. 

WPI falls 62-23 to Springfield.  Wonder what would have the Pride's season been like if their top 2 Qbs stayed healthy?  Still Marrero has proved to be very good.  Looking like a good ECAC possibility at 7-3.

Congrats to Hobart on going 10-0 for the first time in 119 seasons and Union for an amazing win in the first ever OT Shoes game in 110 of those.

Did Hobart's QB get hurt? I see another QB is in.

Anybody hear anything on this?  Saw Strang didn't play the 2nd half, makes me a bit nervous after last year........

[ITH radio]

Strang is ok.

Will have another update on the show Sunday night regarding his status.

ODAC Commissioner and D3 tourney chair Brad Bankston is our featured guest to discuss the Committee's picks, the brackets, who made it and who did not, etc.

Tune in at 7:30 PM when we preview the NCAA first round and discuss the ECAC pairings, among other things.

It's our regular season finale on www.inthehuddlle.com!

A thing of pure beauty! Goodness dlip was jumping around like a ****ing gorilla when that happened. He almost lost his voice. Shoul DEFINITELY be considered for the play of the week.

[ITH radio]

We have invited Connor Eck on the show to discuss that crazy play.  We'll also be chatting with SR RB Joel Altavesta regarding SC's first year in the LL, how we stack up to E8 and his thoughts on the WPI and potential ECAC game which may be revealed as we speak to Joel later tonight.

Also, we have an update on Hobart SR QB Nick Strang's health and Brad Bankston (D3FB tourney chair) tonight starting at 7:30!

Hobart (10-0) to host Washington & Lee (8-2) in the 1st round of the NCAA tournament.

Hobart got boned.

Hobart (10-0) to host Washington & Lee (8-2) in the 1st round of the NCAA tournament.

Very interesting.  Not exactly a doormat in Rd 1 and a tough bracket overall.  Guessing the SOS may have dinged the Statesmen.  Second year in a row they've been placed in the "west".

[jknezek]

As a W&L guy I'm not real happy about it either. 460 miles. Almost to the travel limit for W&L. Has Hobart faced an option team this year?

Somehow the last game dropped the SOS from 16 to 40 something for W&L, which had to hurt. Overall, not really where I expected or wanted W&L to go. Was hoping to get the MAC, PAC, CC, or NJAC winner...

[ITH radio]

Hobart has played three option teams this season (Springfield, USMMA and WPI).

[jknezek]

Then they will be in very good shape facing W&L...

Correction to the above, Hobart is in the STU bracket which is neither the North nor West but an interesting set up regardless given the Statesmen usually get projected in the UMU bracket in prior years.
