East Region Playoff Discussion

I didn't know Del Val already beat Albright.

They did, during the season.  This is round two.

You know what I ment.

I'm finally back online, so I'm gonna lay down my thoughts before going back and reading all the posts since Saturday.

Obviously I'm crushed by Saturday's result, but I'm less upset about the loss than I feel gypped by not seeing what excitement Manzer would have brought to the game had he not gotten injured.  Alfred still may not have won, but when you lose by 10 and lose a player who was averaging 11 points per game, the "what if" scenarios creep in.  I'll forever believe that if Manzer played a full 60 minutes that Alfred would have won, but that is irrelevant.  In all practicality, that was the last home game of the year and it was exciting, so congrats to Albright.

I think the game also gave us a little insight into how the 2010 Saxons will look on offense without Manzer's ability to stretch the field.  It will be interesting to see what wide receiver and secondary recruits are brought in to fill out that units.  I would have thought that any number of wideouts would have been recruited this year with the prospect of catching balls from the Saxons' standout signal caller, so what do I know?

Looking at the positives, I finally got to see Alfred play in a playoff game and it was at home.  Plus, the team was immensely entertaining, featuring a number of record-breaking players.  But, I still have a number of things I'm looking forward to:  I hope to see a playoff win.  I hope to see Alfred play in Alliance and try the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet.  I hope that Alfred State goes D3 and starts a rivalry game with Alfred University.  I hope that downtown Alfred gets rebuilt and revitalized.  I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams.  I hope.

So, thank you all for your support.  Thank you Saxons for a fun season.  Only 9 months until two-a-days...

3rd person is how they roll in the LLPP, bleedpurple.  SF has found the board to be very entertaining and insightful.

Bleedpurple...let me take some heat off ya...congrats to AU on a fine season.  However, it is now 3 seasons running with the E8 AQ losing in round 1 (twice at home).   Only when SJF is in the playoffs, does damage get done.

Several weeks ago, many posters got really bent out of shape at my suggestion that AU was not going to be the powerhouse East rep that everyone was looking for.  The prevailing 'logic' was that "well SJF already blew their wad by getting smoked by MUC" so AU must be the better, more capable team to represent the East. Some clamored that Union was going beat Salisbury and ratify Fisher's weaknesses.  Union was going to represent the East well....well they couldnt beat Susq, and Susq lost by many points this week.    AU did beat Fisher by 3 pts and earn the right to represent the E8.  

In the end, the E8 and LL blew their wads on themselves.  Boy, SJF sure did look strong down the stretch though...

Yeh, I am sure alot of teams looked good down the stretch.  Not knocking AU...just some of the arrogant posters (none of which were AU posters) on here who several weeks ago wanted to anoint AU as the the next Rowan.
