East Region Playoff Discussion

[theoriginalupstate]

My picks:

MUC 63
Randolph-Macon 0
-LK has MUC kick 10 FG's in the 2nd half to keep the score from reaching triple digits

Lycoming  21
Hobart   24
-Too close to call, I give it to Hobart due to home field advantage

Curry 10
Ithaca  42
-Dem Spicy Boyz are a good story for the NEFC but IC's on fire right now

PSU 7
Cortland State 40
-PSU will keep it respectable in the first half but States chemically enhanced cavemen over power PSU in the 2nd half.

Gro feels that both Cortland and Ithaca will win on saturday, but these wins won't be as easy as most posters think.

I can picture the Plymouth State captains showing up at midfield dressed like the 3 amigos...


<sub>P-state: Tell us we will die like dogs

C-State: You WILL die like dogs

P-State: NO! We will fight like... PANTHERS</sub>


And you already know how I feel about Curry.

the P-State Panthers

Gro: [about P-State] I'll give this little cookie an hour before we're doing the no-pants dance. Time to musk up.
[opens cologne cabinet]
LD: Wow. Never ceases to amaze me. What cologne you gonna go with? London Gentleman, or wait. No, no, no. Hold on. Blackbeard's Delight.
Gro: No, these Panthers get a special cologne... It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.
LD: It's quite pungent.
Gro: Oh yeah.
LD: It's a formidable scent... It stings the nostrils. In a good way.
Gro: Yep.   
LD: Gro, I'm gonna be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline.
Gro: They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.
[cheesy grin]
LD: That doesn't make sense.
Gro: Well... Let's go see if we can make this little kitty purr.  And pour me some of that purple drank while we're at it.....

Yes TGP!!  The Plymouth State Sex Panthers.  I'm supposed to root for NY in the playoffs, but Curry and P-State are just too funny. 60% of the time, they win every time.

That's funny I used the "it's quite pungent... " lines at work and no one knew what I was talking about.

Not to steal RT's thunder, but every time MJQV has to change a nasty diaper (my daugther obviously loves me more, she only fires out the nasty diapers while I am at work, I can't remember the last time I had to change a bad one) I always ask if she filled it with indian food.

As I was reading the MUC bracket team capsules, I almost wish they did something else in addition to the "How far can they go?" Like a "How can they pull of an upset?" or something.

While we all know that in 99.99% of cases, MUC is not going to lose before the Stagg Bowl in all likelyhood, what's the point in writing a "How far can they go?" if, at best, they all end with "To Alliance"? Yeah, you can't pretend that it's a likely scenario, but couldn't we at least discuss what needs to happen for a team like IC or Cortland or someone to pull off a win? I mean, this is the playoffs. Upsets are half the fun, and these teams are all very good, well-coached teams, some with very strong histories.

I know of course, since MUC doesn't lose in the regional bracket I may not have much of a leg to stand on, because hey, why plan for something that has never happened right? At the same time, MUC is human, they obviously CAN be beaten, so couldn't we at least, for a sentence or tw,o discuss how? Two years ago, SJF played them tough. IC hung with them for a half last season. Obviously even though the teams are different, those teams did something right, at least for awhile.

Pat actually did a nice job doing that when asked who would give MUC trouble on the selection show, and maybe the predictions column coming soon will have something too. But it would be nice to at least create the illusion once in awhile, that for teams other than UW-W, we're playing for something other than the right to lose to MUC, even if it's highly unlikely. If we're not even going to discuss the possibility of someone in the bracket pulling off the upset, what's the point?

What about another clash of the deep purples?



And I mean Mt union vs. DSB!!!

Mount Union has reached the semifinals 13 years in a row. What's the point indeed?

I wasn't aware we were supposed to create illusions.

So why bother playing the games then Pat? Let's just zip them right to the semis.

So why bother playing the games then Pat? They're going to win anyway. No-one has a chance. Let's just zip them right to the semis, give them a three-week bye.

That's up to the guys on the field but we're calling them as we see them.
