Don't assume that I took away a point from you. 14 hours have passed since your last post. Plenty of people have been through this board.

Thanks!  Where was that advice before I spent $150 on therapy made that embarrassing call to the suicide prevention hotline?  Given that my posts have bucked convention, I'm lucky I'm not in the red, as I expect to be in the coming years when IC puts the beat-down on the rest of the conference.  Admit it, y'all are all startin' to worry that I might not actually be crazy after all...

What? Me Worry?   

And blu. My son is a senior, so you get one shot!

Yeah, he may graduate, but you ain't goin' anywhere...   You'll be here for the day of reckoning!

Timing isn't on our side, Jamie won't play this year.  What position does your son play?  #?

[SNCOLDAD]

blu, I will definitely stick around here after graduation. This place is addicting and D3 is the greatest.

Now to answer your question, take a good look at my name and think PROTECTION!

Despite the MWC's  reputation I'm standing by my comment that a 1 loss St. Norbert team would get an at large bid with a win over St. Thomas. And yes I am assuming two things. !) that the tommies are 1st or 2nd in their conference and 2) that SNC doesn't have an embarrassing loss.  From what I read it seemed the SNC was at least considered for a Pool C bid last year. Many fans claim that Wartburg finishing 6-4 costing them the selection, (which it didn't help) but wasn't it more of the lopsided loss to MC. The score was 52-24 in a game which really wasn't that close.  In my opinion that may have had more to do with it.  I know I am speculating here but it would be interesting to hear from someone with some inside scoop.  Finally after further consideration this is the realistic scenario that a MWC gets a pool c bid.  Monmouth's showing in last year's  playoffs sealed that.

oh ya and honestly does anyone really care what their Karma is? 

[SNCOLDAD]

I think that Pat might be one of the best to comment on why SNC did not get a bid last year. His interview after the selection Sunday says a lot. If Wartburg had a season like they usually do, does SNC get in? Maybe. If SNC does not lost by the margin they did to MC, do they get a bid? Maybe.

BUT< IF SNC WINS CONFERENCE, DO THEY GET A BID? DEFINITELY. That really says it all. Win conference and you are in. Don't win conference and take chances with the selection committee.

It really depends on the year and how other teams play out.  I know in 2006, going into the final week of the year, Wartburg was sitting at 8-1.  Their only loss was an OT game at a top 10 ranked Central team that was 9-0.  As it turned out, Wartburg lost their season finale to Dubuque to make it a moot subject, But had Wartburg won against Dubuque they would have been 9-1 with their only loss away in OT to an undefeated top 10 ranked school.  It was noted on here...I think by Pat, that the math numbers they ran indicated that Wartburg would not have recieved a Pool C bid that year.  And the IIAC is rated as a higher conference than the MWC.  

Moral of the story...hope there aren't a ton of 9-1 schools around the nation at the end of the season.

Duh! I honestly missed that! Public education at work, I guess.

Blu if I ever get to the point where I can had out Karma, you'll receive plenty from me and I in turn will ask that you take ones away from me in exchange!
