no I do not think that Hartwick can win at Alfred

[realistic]

unless AU does something catastrophic to lose, I don't think there is any way 'wick wins at Merrill (hopefully word would get out on campus that AU is in the drivers seat for the conference title and NCAA berth).  So I guess my answer is Hartwick can't win at AU but there is a slight possibility that AU could lose.

AU's stats are really impressive.

Keeley's efficiency rating is 208!!  Wow. 

The only achilles heel I could find with the Saxons is that they are averaging 100 yds a game in penalties.  That could come back to bite them if they are not careful.

Ooof. Good catch, hadn't seen that.

Do you think it would help SJF or Alfred's (Pool C) chances if Hartwick goes undefeated and either SJF or Aflred have the only one loss, (compared to if Hartwick loses 2-3 and the SJF/Alfred Loser has two losses  one of them to the other team.)

Does anyone in the poll believe that Hartwick will go to Alfred this weekend or win?

I strongly believe that Hartwick will go to Alfred this weekend.  Winning, I am less certain of.

I think it would help Fisher and Alfred leaving their matchup as the other berth...but most likely Hartwick will lose this weekend...even with a loss this weekend they have a reasonable chance to win the rest of their games which could make for the potential of three teams with 1 loss inside the conference.

[superman57]

honestly boxer I don't think they can stop Chris Sharpe...

This first sentence has U89 utterly confused....

Personally, I'm kind of interested to see how Alfred does against Hartwick.  Alfred has all of this momentum and seems to be getting a lot of 'respect' as a top tier team, BUT, they haven't hit the meat of their schedule yet.  Hartwick is half through the 'meat' and is 2-0, so it will be interesting.  The jury is still out on Hartwick, so that means the jury is still out on SJF and Ithaca too.  Parity has made it's way east in a big way.

absolutly - great points LD. 

I have been one that has been annointing AU, you could very well be right.

[Boxer7806]

[superman57]

As stated on the E8 boards, Pep, as bass drummer, is responsible for 45 yards in penalties per game for unsportsmanlike late hits.

I think Soopahman 57 has a new challenger for illiteracy

"passed"  he meant "past";  "I bet the Hartwick vs Alfred will be alot closer then ppl think"  he meant: He thinks that Hartwick "can't get any freakin respect";  "opponnets"  perhaps  opponents;  He doesn't quite know the difference between "then" and "than" either.

Soopahman...lets work on this
