OK, this is hard for me to face reality, but last week, I went 3-1, but I would rather have been 1-3 , if you know what I mean.

LAST WEEK:

Hobart      30(23)       Union      17(28)      Union up 14-10 at half...Hobart storms back in 2nd half..The storm was too late or the game was too short
Rochester 14(14)        SLU         35(36)     Larries get to celebrate 2nd win CHECK
SJF          10(10)        Ithaca      24(35)     Bombers get E8 win, Nabi plays conservatively and throws to only IC receiversCHECK
RPI          21(30)        Alfred       17(15)     RPI playing hungry and  LL goes 2-0 over E8..DOUBLE CHECK
Hobart, Union,RPI and Ithaca all have 1 LL loss..standings are tight(Wishful Thinking )

THIS WEEK:

Ithaca        24              Utica     17                Nabi pulls it out in the end, another LL win over E8
RPI            21              SLU       17                Saints almost catch Engineers overlooking the game

Sets up final two weeks where Union , RPI and Ithaca will duke it out......only RPI and Union have destiny in their own hands...Ithaca needs help.....and Hobart keeps looking at the Union game film and running to the bathroom stalls afterwards

I also got three of four right.  Does this mean I can call my predictions "Equally good to Bartman's" this week?

Ok, I have figured out that I am a fan of Union the rest of the way because if they beat both Ithaca and RPI(a tall order, no doubt), Hobart gets the bid for the "runner up " bowl probably with Cortland(that would be a great game for E8/LL bragging rights). If Hobart/RPI and Ithaca have a 3 way tie,I think the same tie breakers would apply snd we would look at records against winning teams .. BUT Ithaca must also lose to either Utica or Cortland, giving Ithaca the lower record against over .500 teams and then it is a H2 between Hobart and RPI won by the Statesmen. I never thought I would be rooting for the Dutchmen after a disappointing loss , nor be happy with making the Empire 8/LL bowl ...but you gotta readjust and make the best of the season( of course Hobart cannot overlook SLU or U of R). My preferred scenario would be Union winning out and Cortland beating Ithaca for the jug...setting up Hobart playing the Jug winner........so , as you can see I am very desperate to paint such a fantasy of future games just to get Hobart in one more game...please excuse my selfish analysis....Good luck to all the rest of the way(especially Union)

Batman, thanks for doing the high level math for me!  I am now a Union fan the rest of the way!

Thanks for sharing the coach Behrman interview James and Frank. I certainly liked what I heard. +k

[bigdvs]

Great job as always Frank. Thanks for all that you do.

LL Predictions:

Ithaca 20, Utica 14- Potential trap game for Ithaca, with the biggest game of the season just a week away. But despite a stout defense, the Pioneers have struggled getting their passing game on track, and I think Ithaca does just enough to win, perhaps with help from the return game, which provided a big spark last week.

RPI 30, St. Lawrence 7- A nice win for St. Lawrence last week, but RPI is a different animal than Rochester.

dlip is really hoping the Bombers take it to the Pioneers this week. Will this game be streamed?

[Bombers798891]

Yes it will be streamed

[stlawus]

Oh wow what a surprise, SLU chokes again.  Make it 3 choke jobs.  Played good defense all game only to choke away the game in under 2 minutes.  Disaster.  What an awful season.

Hobart Soccer beats SLU in soccer 2-1 in OT, Win LL Title. Good Bye week for Football.😀

[UfanBill]

Bartman, you and Bombers both got this weeks LL game predictions right...and you nailed the RPI/St. L. score right on the numbers...way better than Bombers. Congratulations +k

-k... However, for posing about soccer on the Football board...there IS another board for THAT.
