Not wrinkly and salty?

New leader in the clubhouse...Triscuts w/ Cracked Pepper and Olive Oil. Does it make me less of a man if I eat Triscuts?

Carl: I ate some Triscuit crackers in the car, you should have had some.
Eric: Well, maybe if you told me they were delicious Triscuit crackers I could have enjoyed them with you.
Carl: I'm sorry.
Eric: Well, "sorry" doesn't put the Triscuit crackers in my stomach now, does it Carl?

After this post I tried to remember what in the Sam Hill I was supposed to be reading about. It took me 10 seconds to remember the flamin thread was at some point about the biggest week of the year. Dang you people, go back to your shanty's.

Come on people work with me here. Don't you know I am trying to do some serious lurking. Now lets get back to the posting at hand so I can mentally ridicule all of your opinions and prognostications while not showing the cahones to make my own predictions on-line, thus saving face by not blowing picks while retaining the use of the ever popular "I knew that was going to happen" post for Saturday night.

Oh and um I guess since no one has called it I'll go with the grade school classic Crunchy Cheetos. Who doesn't love licking the cheetle off all of your fingers. Even your pinkie somehow gets cheetle on it. Although I must admit it became a bit less appetizing after my microbiology class.

Please go back to the virtual trash talk and away from this weird secret language of inside jokes that are not funny. I'll even start if for you.
Pringle is raw, the SELC will get worked, Oregon was a one year wonder, UMD, ASU and Chapman will lose to UCSB/CSU/BYU/SSU or some combination there of, D2 is about as great as bathing with angry ferrets, and there have still been only FIVE teams and TWO conferences to win a title.... and that won't change this year.

Thank you for trying to bring some actual lax topics back to this thread, but I think it's beyond repair.

I'd like to hear what some of the other conferences think about the likely reality of an all RMLC, WCLL final four this year. In fact I'm thinking three WCLL teams and one RMLC. The two best games of the tourney are going to be BYU vs. Noma and Chapman vs. UCSB at Texas Stadium. I cant wait for the web cast!

You have it half right, but no way Noma or SB make the final four.

Im with ya on that one. I love Michigan bashing as much as anyone, but to expect them to just bow out of the tourney early this year, like every other, is a mistake. Now, Id be shocked if they won it all, but I think they'll at least make it to the semis. Now I know semis isnt all that great for a #1 seed, but for Michigan it makes for a great post-season!

Love the Lebowski reference.
We'll see if any SELC teams can roll their way into the semis. Dios mio, man. I wouldn't be too surprised to see FSU or UGA make it through the first round.

JP...your thoughts?

[Zeuslax]

I seriously doubt that he'll comment. I don't think coaches should be in here talking up there teams or writing anaylses on a message board.

Dag, only a MSU guy could throw darts like that.

Always on point and relevant. I will agree with everything except for possibly the Chapman bit. Although since they are still in the WCLL your conclusions are inherently correct.

I would be surprised. GA has a decent chance to advance, but FSU has little chance. The seedings should mostly hold in the 1st round. The only teams that have a decent upset potential are GA & UCSB, IMO. Even then, it's not going to be easy for either of them.

Of course he's not going to comment on it...I just think it's rediculous/ridiculous/ridickulous/reydiculus (surely one of those is correct) to think that the #1 ranked program in the country will be satisfied with their season if they reach the semis.

Apparently i shoulda added SARCASM in big bold letters to my post. Of course Michigan wont be happy with semis. Theyve had a great regular season, and obviously won't be happy with anything less then the title. And quite honestly I think this is the best chance they've had in a long time to win it all. I was just referencing the fact that they usually have a hard time making it as far as the semis (only happened once I think), so I jokingly said they'd be happy. Thought the big State logo under my name would give that one away. I sincerely doubt Michigan wants to go through yet another year of people like me questioning and harassing them about why they cant make it to the big one.

And to go 8 Mile on you guys, yes I went to State, yes I'm bitter Michigan ended my college career one game short of Nationals, yes beating Michigan in 2006 was the highlight of my college career, so yes I enjoy ripping on them any way I can because of all that...

i'm gonna have to agree with beast. i think pringle is certainly a good goalie, but there are other players that have probably deserved first team honors over him in recent years. while it's not a great measuring stick and my own opinion, when we beat sonoma my senior year, i thought he looked very, very average. i couldn't believe it when he got first team that year. stick-side high should not go in against a first team all-american.

maybe he was just having a really average day.

[UkraineNotWeak]

Yeah, god forbid a first team AA goalie ever have a stick-side high shot go by him, or a first-team AA attackman miss on the doorstep, or a first team AA defenseman get beat one on one. Give it a rest. He is a great goalie and will prove you wrong this week.

[Lefty]

so if he doesn't deserve it, who got robbed and should have made it??

[CougarCrushers Anonymous]

This has got out of control. I am sorry I was ever apart of it. Done with this. About the anonymity, thought if one replies to posts throughout the year that refer to them by name they dont want anonymity, if I was mistaken, my bad. Good luck to all superstars in the tourney. Hope they make it awesome.
