East Region Playoff Discussion

[mandfense]

It's less than 500 miles for everyone in the region to travel to Mount Union except for Curry

['gro]

that's different, but with MUC in NE Ohio and 4 teams in central NY it makes some sense geographically.

Does anyone have a clue why Mount Union was placed in the east?

Im going to say Mt. Union is in the east because in some way, the top team in the country deserves the weakest bracket.  Mt. Union doesnt have to go anywhere, and they deserve to play the lower teams across the country.

I like the move.  I also like taking the weakest team in the bracket, and shipping them out.  Now you have 4 strong brackets, and an opportunity for the East to prove itself as worthy.  Actually they will have 3 opportunities!

Good luck Ithaca.  I don't know what else to say, as I am still picking my jaw up off the floor.

GO BOMBERS!!!

I will still argue that Widener would not have been the weakest team in the east. However, I think that all of the politicing that took place for the Empire 8 and other eastern conferences served them a helping of exactly what they deserved. Have fun traveling all the way to Mt. Union boys. Its really alot of fun to drive all the way out there. Oh, and the ride home after you get thumped is even better. Have fun in the east boys. See you next season. Off to West and Case.

Ha yeah like your team would do any better.  I made the ride down to Mount Union last year in the national semifinals and we didn't get "thumped"....truth be told it was one of the most memorable and fun rides back I've ever had, we got lost in PA and we ended up in some hick town in the middle of nowhere. 


Widener sucks

[pg04]

Just got back and wow...  I knew that no one in the east would have a chance to get to the Stagg bowl  but now no one in the east has a chance to get to the national semis! 

This bracket DEFINITELY has a different flavor than what I've ever seen before.

I never said tha WU would have done better against Mt. Union. I am glad we were moved out of the east. I have made that ride home before after they beat us in the final four. I do not recall it being that much fun. I guess that is because I do not like losing as much as you .  I wish the east well. Hope someone knocks them off. Doubt it will happen, but one can hope.

[boobyhasgameyo]

Well yeah I don't think it would be as fun riding home after losing by 40 points knowing you were just thoroughly dominated, but when you go home after losing 26-14 (them scoring the touchdown to bring it from 19-14 to 26-14 with a few minutes left in the 4th) you don't feel as bad.  I felt like it was a close game, of course Mount Union had chances to score that they couldn't cash in on, but so did Fisher...So again all in all it was close and I don't think people felt bad about losing the way we did.  70-30 on the other hand....Ouch

I've posted a Bart-SJF preview on the LLPP and E8PP boards if anyone is interested (yeah right

How has the Liberty League done in the playoffs?
