Of course I lost as well. Plenty of time for me to choke over this weekend. I'll be happy with only 7 blemishes on the bracket...

Rolling with Hope over UWO, Kenyon over ONU, Wheaton over Thomas More, Wartburg over Dominican (sure to go 2-2 on these selections)

Also a big fan of willchar late submission, still going a perfect 0-3 on the day!

4 pretty good games tonight. Getting ready for streaming 4 games simultaneously throughout the day tomorrow.

Well with ONU getting trounced and Oshkosh dominating yet unable to score my bracket is completely fudged!

D- for Wheaton for hosting. No video again for last 15 and when there was video it was of the Wheaton night sky.

Lastguy, well played. 4 for 4 last night?

lastguyoffthebench · November 16, 2013, 11:35:21 AM

So much for Greensboro showing up! Getting pounded 3-0 30 min in...

PaulNewman · November 16, 2013, 12:40:47 PM

Yeah, I guess the "real" South isn't very strong.

DuhawkFutbol: listen to me very carefully. I need you to temporarily re-open the bracket predictions--I need to make a small amendment to my bracket--nothing big. I need special dispensation because I was not aware that Hope was going to slip roofies in Osh Kosh's breakfast cheese. This messes me completely up, and make is no fun for anyone here. Please PM me immediately so we can arrange this.

PaulNewman · November 16, 2013, 02:35:06 PM

LOL Sirius. I am officially withdrawing from the competition. The GAC win was the final nail. I had both Oshkosh and CSS winning a couple of rounds.

Tune in to watch MSU vs Miseri....

MSU takes lead with 2:05 left, Miseri scores a header off corner with 1:25 left. Heading to OT.

PaulNewman · November 17, 2013, 02:51:30 PM

OWU gone from tourney

PaulNewman · November 17, 2013, 03:33:35 PM

D3 soccer bracket saying sectional is at Rose Hulman. Is that really possible??? Assumed would go to Messiah, or Dickinson/F&M winner.
