My predictions will be way off, but just for fun:

Saturday
Poly seems to be getting their feet, but I think Chapman holds on at home by a goal or two, 9-8 CU.
No clue about SSU or UO
Colorado is never predictable and is coming off a high, so I think VT could pull this out by a goal or two if they aren't ready. 8-6 VT
CSU by a couple, 12-10 CSU
Wisconsin is good, but still aren't at the top of the heap, Duluth pulls away in the 4th. 14-8 UMD

Sunday
Texas wins 14-13, just to spite Beast
ASU barely escapes the upset 7-6 on a last second goal, maybe OT
Fraser just isn't deep enough, CU wins 13-9
Noma over OSU
CSU by a few over VT
Buffalo has traveled to SELC-land for spring break 5 years in a row, and has beaten GT 6-7 in three of their meetings. Hoping GT wins 7-6

Oregon v. SSU & Oregon State v. SSU will be available live on LaxTV. Be sure to check them out

OR v. SSU Presented By Epoch Lacrosse - http://lax.tv/link/9154/

Big thanks to our sponsors for making this happen and to Beast for starting this chatter. My predictions in my next post!

Can't argue with your pick of the Buffs at home over the Clan but.... exactly how big a roster would SFU need to carry to be "deep enough" in your book? 50? 60, maybe?

I think rostering about 40 guys who can all play - as Fraser has done this year - is plenty deep enough in a sport where only 10 guys can take the field at any time...but hey, maybe that's only my opinion.

Do they have more guys now? I was just going off of past years where they had like 18 guys (but still made it far into the tourney) and thought I saw another small team on the sidelines when I was watching the SFU - Oregon game. Must have just not been paying a lot of attention, which I'm prone to do.

Sat March 9
#18 Cal Poly @ #7 Chapman I think SLO has turned things around, but not enough to beat Chapman on the road
#11 Sonoma @ #8 Oregon This is probably the best game of the weekend and a toss up in my opinion. Going with Noma because I like Panchito.
#10 Va Tech @ #4 Colorado 6 and 8 goals for Va Tech against their only "good" competition is not a great sign.
#23 Simon Fraser @ #1 CSU CSU is good
NR Wisconsin vs #13 Duluth I ragged on Duluth in Schooling Schoolers, but think they will win this one. At least they should win this one.

Sun March 10
#12 Texas @ #6 UCSB So many haters on here.
NR Richmond @ #5 ASU There is a chance, but not likely.
#23 Simon Fraser @ #4 Colorado SFU could pull this off, but unlikely on the road.
#11 Sonoma @ NR Oregon State I think this game has the biggest upset potential.
#10 Va Tech @ #1 CSU No chance for Va Tech
#16 Buffalo @ #22 Georgia Tech Was going to pick Tech, but since Oaks was a hater, I'm going with Buffalo.

Thanks for the love. Going to be a tough game. UO is a very good team.

#11 Sonoma @ NR Oregon State I think this game has the biggest upset potential.

What are you saying here? Haha

Just saying that a team go up their with their eyes set on beating Oregon and overlook Oregon State.

Too bad that LAXtv lost the feed on this one, I made my Sunday plans around watching the game. The stream ended with 'Noma ahead 3-0, but I saw on OSU twitter feed that the Beavers eventually recovered and took a 9-5 lead, then held on in the final two minutes to earn a 9-7 upset over the Seawolves.

Any word on what's happening with these feeds? I tried watching the WOU/Oregon game with no luck and then this game as well. Heavy viewer loads or just bad output from the site of the game?

I watched the early part, where SSU went up by three. The LaxxTV coverage looked good. I guess I switched off before the link dropped.

Our apologies about Sunday's game. We were all set to go but apparently there was some paperwork that was not filed on our part and thus the school kicked us out. We tried our best to reason with them that we were already there setup and running, but unfortunately it was no dice.

WOU / Oregon is the same issue in terms of logistics. The school didn't get the gate opened (despite many phone calls and arrangements setup the week of) We were able to get the feed up by halftime of that game without problem and as far as we have been told everyone had a good experience (we had testers in CA, VA, NY, and Texas). Are you finding that you are not seeing a good feed?

Feed is good when it is going through. The explanations make sense, I know from experience that the camera crews and output truck can often find more resistance than the actual bandwidth that conveys the game.

Thanks for the broadcasts, good stuff!
