D3nut should have wore a cup!

haha.....you guys love it.....


I just think George Fox is better. While the NWC isnt great, it certainly isnt any worse than the SCIAC....there a lot of automatic wins in that league as well.

We'll see. GFU might not even get to the regional. But if they do, i think ppl are hating a little too much on the NWC.

Nobody hates the NWC, just think it's weaker this year than the ASC, Chapman, or the SCIAC. We'll find out soon enough!

I'm not saying that NWC is a poor conference at all (though I think the SCIAC might have a little more depth this year), im just saying it's difficult to comare the NWC teams to other west region teams because the NWC teams don't really get a chance to play anyone outside their conference. While teams like PLU and UPS try to make their rounds in so cal, GFU wasted most of their non-conference on non d3 teams like Hawaii-Hilo and Concordia Portland. Their only non-conference in-region opponent is East Bay.
In any case, it looks like we'll get a chance to see how GFU compares next week if they managed to hold on to that 11-2 lead today. It definitely looks like they can swing the bats.

Any guesses on the bracket?
My guess is.....

1. Pomona-Pitzer
2. UT-Tyler
3. Cal Lutheran
4. George Fox
5. PLU
6. Chapman

As much as I don't like the P-P/Chapman game, the others are very good match-ups. Thoughts?

You need to separate PLU and GFU and PP and CLU.  That puts a few crimps in the brackets.

Why don't you like the P-P/Chapman game???  Don't you think their game is a good match-up??

Oh no, I didnt mean for it to sound like it's not a good match-up cause it is.  They just played recently and it would be nice to have 3 games with teams that hadn't faced each other this year.  I think it will be a great game, and could be an upset.

[sagehenalum47]

do you think hendrix would definitely get shipped over a pool C such as cal lutheran? I understand they would want they would want to keep PLU in linfield since its so close, but doesnt the team that won their conference get to go to their own regional? I know cal lu's record is much better, but still.

Hendrix in Conway AR to Augie in Rock Island IL is 610 miles by the NCAA Mileage Calculator.

Crash, I thought that you had discovered something there!

I don't know if the committee wants to break up the conference bids by sending CalLU or Chapman some where else, but it would be a good thing.

[CrashDavisD3]

I stand corrected. Wrong again. Wont be the last either. Need that morning
coffee before posting.

687 miles from Hendrix College to Swanson Stadium in Moline, Illinois

I hear ya..... they just played each other in their own backyard and it would more exciting watching two teams that haven't seen each.  And the teams from up North don't know that you have to pitch around Hedman and also stay clear of Mandelblatt.

Ralph - if the committee does breakup the conference bids,  how do they determine which team to send??  Do they base it on pool bid or W-L record?? 

If it is based on pool bid, would they send C since it is the lowest pool??  And where do you think  the team be sent too if not Linfield?

George Fox smoked PLU yesterday 24-6. I guess fox is better than some of you thought. They are a very good team that plays fundamental baseball. They take advantage of other teams mistakes while making few themselves. I saw this first hand at the Fox/Linfield Series.
