Ohio State or Michigan?


I'm a Michgan guy - mainly b/c Mike Hart is somewhat local. And b/c Troy Smith isn't really that good.

[superman57]

one of my former profs is a big OState guy so I have to go with Ohio

I'm looking forward to catching the majority of that game after congratulating Fisher.

Doesn't get any better than NCAA'S & Michigan / Ohio St. on the same Saterday!!!

Can anyone imagine if Pat White & Steve Slaton were both on Fisher along with Robinson & Reile?

I'm thinking leave Kramer at QB & have those four rotate every fourth series.

Id think Id call that Robinson and Reile riding the bench......

Missed out on the sarcasm JU - It was a play on the handling of the Robinson / Reile situation at Fisher...

Wasn't a serious observation - Slaton is probably the best back DI has seen in the last few years though.

superman- Evidently you've deleted the post, but I am leaning towards Baird Road Pub.

reggie bush, adrian peterson, ronnie brown, cadillac?  remember slaton's size too....he's only 5'7 or so. and with that being said, he's dirty (in a good way)

Around the Nation has posted it's postseason preview,

As for the east, this is what they think:

Disappointments
Coleman: Springfield. They should beat Curry, but will they catch lightning in a bottle for a second time against either Union or St. John Fisher? Seems unlikely.
Mann: Springfield. With a run-heavy offense and a pass defense that's giving up almost 200 yards a game, I could see a very lopsided regional final between the Pride and Rowan.
McMillan: With a pair of road games, the Liberty League could quite easily go two-and-out after taking serious steps forward with the same two teams last year.

Champion
Coleman: Rowan, with the Wilkes game the most competitive.
Mann: Rowan. As disappointed as Cortland State fans are at the Red Dragons' near miss against the Profs, I suspect many other East region teams will soon feel the same way. There's something to be said for mystique. A fantastic defense and great quarterback doesn't hurt either.
McMillan: Defenses shine in the playoffs, and Wilkes and Rowan both have the pedigree to snuff out talented offenses. It might come down to which offense can generate 13 or 14 points in the second round. The Profs' defense is as good as any, but the Colonels (8.3 points per game) are right there, and the rest of the team has been more consistent.

Obviously, Rowan is the clear favorite among the group.

Go curry

[The Truth 00]

fan of d3, i'm not going to throw much weight into gordon mann's disappointment...i'd be satisfied with a trip to the elite 8. at least pat's has some sound reasoning why he believes they could be a disappointment.

[pg04]

I think Springfield is the one team in the Region that could be a Complete Surprise by winning the Region, or a complete disappointment if they lose in the second round.  But the point that Defense wins in the playoffs is a strong one.
