FightnScot77....he was joking.

I got it! Win big is all I needed for him to retort back! I'll be there with my two daughters (a graduate and undergrad) to witness a woopin...

Linfields schedule is tougher than whos? Monmouth? Yeah

I just re-ran the numbers this morning: 120% tougher than Monmouth's. 110% tougher than UWW's. 90% tougher than Central's. 60% tougher than SJU's. Sorry, DutchHawk, it just doesn't pencil out for your boys.

Dtrain,

I looked up the records of the teams that Linfield has played or will play so far excluding Oregon since they don't count.  Linfields opponents record so far is 27-35 with the Dutch's opponents at 38-43 not a lot of difference there.  Both teams have only three teams with winning records on the schedule.  I don't see how you come up with 90% tougher than the Dutch's

Sure, but you didn't look far enough into the past of Linfield's opponents.  Six of them (two-thirds) have won a playoff game since 2000.  Can any other team say that about their schedule?

An interesting metric, though I'm not sure winning a 2000 playoff game makes Pacific Lutheran tougher than, say, Luther.

That is the best you can do?  What have you done lately?  The IIAC has been to the regional finals the last two years.  Some of thos players are still playing now. 
Pat said it best what does games played almost a decade ago have to do with here and now.

A little more than four hours away from game time...

at stake...

The Bronze Turkey trophy, awarded to the winner of the Knox versus Monmouth College football game ... named one of the five weirdest trophies in sports by ESPN....

Background story on the Bronze Turkey in today's Review Atlas.

Pacific Lutheran is 80% tougher than Luther because of the mustaches.  Plus the "Pacific" and the "-an" make the school's name longer.  That's why I rarely write it as just PLU.

Yeah, but only because the NWC champ had to play UWW in round two last year.  And in '07 they didn't even honor our league champ with a bid.  Besides that stupid mud thing, the NWC has owned the IIAC in the playoffs.


{Sorry MWC folks, pretty rude of us to go on and on...}
