Re: Delaware vs Villanova Game Thread
Be sure to post your 24 teams before 11:00 hen fans. Will be looking forward to see if it's as easy as you have been boasting it is.
Had a great time at the game amongst a nice group of du fans yesterday. Gracious and knowledgeable group. You all were right on the crowd. Disappointing show by both teams fans but some good spirited tailgating at least.

Well, while I can think of at least 15 teams in the field of 24 that I think Nova would beat, Nova is nevertheless not in the field. You just don't get in the field without 7 wins, especially in a 12 game-eligible season. We told you that but you didn't want to listen.

Re: Delaware vs Villanova Game Thread
good for nova, but i was saddened to see Robertson didn't go over 200 rushing yards. Oh well, better luck next year. At least Nova's kicker can make a field goal.
Penn State's kicker on the other hand...

Hamilton has been very solid. I'm not sure he missed any FGs all season. What a way to end a college career!Seahawks08 wrote:good for nova, but i was saddened to see Robertson didn't go over 200 rushing yards. Oh well, better luck next year. At least Nova's kicker can make a field goal.
It's disappointing that the committee is still holding to that methodology. Can't complain much though. I think the Cat's only chance was if UNH lost to Maine maybe they could steal away the 3rd CAA bid. That didn't happen and overall it's a disappointing season, but what a way to end it! I can't wait for next year's Battle of the Blue already.93henfan wrote:Well, while I can think of at least 15 teams in the field of 24 that I think Nova would beat, Nova is nevertheless not in the field.

Re: Delaware vs Villanova Game Thread
I got 20 of 24 last week before Saturday's games were even played. All four misses were due to those teams losing (Lehigh, UD, W&M) and me not realizing Furman had the inside track to the SoCon auto.

Re: Delaware vs Villanova Game Thread
Not as good as you did. Well done. I made picks based on my opinion of who the best teams were. It would have been a better playoff than what the committee chose but hey, I'm sure they have their reasons for not wanting the best teams.GannonFan wrote:Well, he missed one on at least nova...89Hen wrote: I got 20 of 24 last week before Saturday's games were even played.

Maybe one day you will understand why they choose who they do. Stick around for a couple more years.vutomcat wrote:I made picks based on my opinion of who the best teams were.

Not a problem understanding 89, just disappointing that they continued to do it the way they do. I had some hope based on the articles I had posted earlier and the way the NCAA posted the selection process this year that it was changing. I know you're too smart to think this was the strongest field they could have chosen even with the automatic bids. Just ashame.

Re: Delaware vs Villanova Game Thread
Tom, we tried to tell you but the glimmer of hope you read into the articles sunk you. There's a difference between what we think the field should be and what we think the field will be. Perhaps that was your real issue. You didn't realize were talking about the latter all along.vutomcat wrote:89Hen wrote: Maybe one day you will understand why they choose who they do.
