PNCLL Week #11 (4/9-4/15) -- Predict/Report Scores/Discuss

[AndyP]

Anyone have a result from the Idaho/SFU game?

[Sonny]

I can understand why people would not want that information to be available to the general public, as it does not represent the league very well

It has nothing to do with censorship and everything to do with one side presenting their (biased) version of the events.

MCLA Head Coaches have the ability to voice their concerns about the game officiating through proper channels. The CollegeLAX Message Board is NOT that channel.

I suggest you folks re-read the message board rules that you agreed to follow when you registered to use this public forum:

We just need to make sure to always hold ourselves in check.

Good luck with that.... That's why we have message board rules in the first place.

I will answer my own question:

SFU 14
Iadho 7

Final

unofficial from pullman today because I am to tired to walk to my car and look, but WSU lost 7-22 and Idaho lost 7-14.

is it possible that the PNCLL will only send one team to nationals now with that oregon lose???

[nhoskins]

It's very possible... however Oregon still has Sonoma and BYU to help climb the rankings. Besides, 7-16 is filled with so many upsets that Oregon is still arguably deserving to be in the top 16, even with this loss.

[nhoskins]

Boise State defeated Utah State 8-4 yesterday and UNR 8-7 in overtime. A generally sloppy weekend by the Broncos but a nice tune-up before facing Montana and in-state rivals Idaho next weekend.

If UO wins the PNCLL they're obviously in regardless.

If UO loses the PNCLL, it will depend how well they play against SSU & BYU. I'll give UO the benefit of the doubt and say this loss is a fluke.

In '05 UW beat SFU 14-2 after SFU beat both UO and Chico in one weekend. So these things happen.

if they lose out to SSU and BYU I can't see them getting a bid with only a top 20 win against colorado.

WWU 13
SOU 3

Not that it really matters, but the UW vs. WSU game was actually 24-7. . .and I have heard from two people at the games today who said that Idaho looks really great and is on the verge of being very competitive. . .

And that Wazzu, albeit with small numbers, is a great group of gamers with great sportsmanship on and off the field.

This may revise some predictions from earlier in this thread:
WOU 26, Whitman 4

Crazy game, but the result left no doubt who the best team in the league is come playoff time.

For the record, WOU had two players ejected and one from Whitman was ejected due to an incident on the field.

Whitman will be without that player tomorrow against Willamette, and WOU will be with their two for their battle with Willamette as well.

No players will miss playoff games as a result of these ejections, for the record. . .

[woulax4]

I don’t want to put any more weight on Willamette’s back, but I am pretty sure if they win tomorrow they will have secured themselves a playoff spot. If that were to happen, the April 20th game at Southern could be an interesting win or go home game.

[slowbreak]

Oregon vs. Sonoma is at noon tomorrow PACIFIC time, so you might check into that.

this one is live update worthy. Brauck, will you be there?

Have to concur with the good Doctor regarding the Cougs and Vandals, except to add that UI is not on the verge of being competitive -- they are clearly there already! For the record, Idaho played the Clansmen much tougher and closer than Washington, Oregon, Lindenwood and other teams have in 2008. This is because UI really gets after it, competing for every ground ball and every possession like it will decide the game. Idaho is big and they are physical. They remind me of UC-Davis from the 80's or PLU from the late 90s-early 00's -- the kind of team nobody looks forward too eagerly to play. The Huskies watched the UI-SFU game and know clearly we have to strap up our helmets tightly and really battle today, or the Vandals will end our playoff dreams. It won't be a shock, or shouldn't be, if they beat us. They're good -- no matter what their record reads. I just wish we had all our weapons, but we'll play with who we've got available and no complaints.

Okay, one small complaint -- today's doubleheader is going to be played inside the Kibbie Dome, on a "Chamber of Commerce" type Spring day in the Palouse. At least we won't have to stock up on SPF 40 sunblock beforehand...
