Carthage 3 North Park 2 in OT.  I haven't seen enough NP games to really comment on a lot, but boy they had some sloppy passing. 

My big question is if this means NP is out of the tourney...?
Was OT in the tournament sudden death?  I thought they'd play an extra period.

Hmm, that's twice this year North Park has lost to Carthage despite being the "superior team". Go Red Men, you guys deserved it.

It's interesting how the fans of the teams that don't play in the final always have something moronic to say. Perhaps it comes with the territory of following teams that never end up making the final. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact of having no soccer sense. I've always thought that Elmhurst fans/players have never had the right to mouth off, given their past of no success. Oh well.

I agree, very sloppy play. Not at all indicative ("serving as a sign or indication of something" blue_jay thought I'd do the thinking for you) of their play all season. NP seemed to hit some sort of wall the past week and a half. It's very unfortunate. They had an obvious talent increase from last year's team that took the championship. I doubt they will make the NCAA tourney now, but who knows, there has been some interesting chains of events on other ends that may allow Park to get in. Fingers crossed, I guess.

I was down in Decatur today broadcasting the NPU football game, so I only got back here in Chicago in time to see the last fourteen minutes of regulation and then the (all-too-brief) overtime. I therefore didn't see enough of the game to really comment upon it, other than that NPU really looked like it was back on its heels most of the time. Carthage seemed to be doing a much better job of possessing the ball and forcing the issue.

Just really, really disappointed right now. I give credit to Carthage, but as an NPU fan it feels as though a very talented Vikings team has self-destructed over the past week and a half.

There were some major mishaps on NP's part, as I am sure, Sager, you will hear, so I wont broadcast what happened. All in all, very disappointing. I know how it feels, so I feel horrible for the whole NP team.

Not me, feeling good actually. I just find it amusing that certain North Park fans who ooze pretension all year get to see their team lose 3 of 4 down the stretch. And I'd like to give credit to Carthage, who stepped up to the plate and won important games.

Not as amusing as Elmhurst continually rotting in the burbs this time every year.

See, this is why people don't like you. I started by objecting to your poo-pooing of Carthage when they first won in the regular season, and you've done nothing since to disprove your arrogance. But by all means direct your ire at me, it's all hot air coming out anyhow. Whatever makes you feel better.

Now this is turning into of an argument of who likes who? haha You seem to have relation to Elmhurst, sounds like the pot calling the kettle black, eh? Doesn't really matter, I guess. I feel better knowing that my team is better than yours.

Well I'm glad your mental health is intact. I was worried. Anywho, I've had enough bantering with the likes of you for the season. Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, too. I was worried we could never agree upon anything.

That's great to hear, Jim. I was skeptical because of their poor performances as of late, and I didn't what to get my hopes up. With Calvin being knocked out and similar situations, what would you gage Park's chances of receiving the nod?
