Looks like Augustana proved you wrong in a big way today.

Tip of the cap to Augustana!  They played great yesterday.

I am not ready to drop the Bears down a tier, but let's see how they do in Weeks 9 and 10.

LOL! No tournament in UAA soccer, but I would not be surprised if they add one sooner or later.  UAA volleyball has a tournament.

This is a big weekend coming up with each team playing two league games.

Emory and Rochester host Brandeis and NYU
Case and Carnegie host Chicago and Washington University

Brandeis held Chicago to a draw (and the SC early assessment of Chicago is rapidly gaining traction).

I have only seen Brandeis play twice, but I am inclined to think this result says slightly more about 3-5-5 Brandeis than it does Chicago. 

The Judges suddenly look way better than the record, but most of my early season records have held true so.  Only my Rochester predictions if the standings remain relatively stable through the end of the season.

Also, Rochester and Case Western Reserve played to a draw yesterday which is big.

Here are the UAA standings with four league games left to play.

Emory  9  3-0
New York 6  2-1
Brandeis  5  1-0-2
Case Western  4  1-1-2
Chicago  4  1-1-2
Rochester   2  0-1-2
Carnegie Mellon  2  0-1-2
Washington  0  0-3

Looks like 5-7 players who would have had their second, third or fourth year of eligibility this season are not on the Case Western Reserve roster.

The UAA has had a lot of players over the years who played limited minutes before having break-out seasons as a senior.  Not to mention the juniors.

The extended eligibility was a good idea at the time, but you have to feel for the guys who working their way up through a program only to have 2-3 guys who already played four full seasons transfer-in to compete for their position.

As for the Washington University roster, that is interesting to say the least.

Though not directly referee driven, the rule change has either purposefully or accidentally made it easier for schools to manage the referee shortage.

NCC posters can post whatever they want. I have no problem with it, nor do most viewers/posters me thinks.

No one has a problem with it.

The one-dimensional nature of the d3boards led to an overreaction.

So NCC fans are no longer able to post on here about our team then? Got it.

You can, but not without the eye-rolling from fans of other teams...

If I was a North Central fan, my only complaint would be the lack of an opportunity to see what the team could do against some high-level Division II teams.

May as well post the link to the Texas Lutheran game which is easily accessible on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoUD350KWfY

"Professional goalkeepers..."

The head coach at Notre Dame also coached at Oberlin. I have no idea, but I have to think that the majority of coaches would gladly agree to that game.

Platteville is doing something similar at football games with Potosi Brewing. They say they will try doing something for basketball. It's another way to raise money.

That is great.  Definitely a way to raise money, but if the fans see the value, definitely a win-win.

North Park is pretty good. 

Just glancing at the live stats.  Carroll has scored two touchdowns against North Central in the first half.  Wheaton was the only team to score more than one touchdown against the Cardinals in the regular season last year.  Might have to turn that game on as I am curious.

While I was in the spending mood, I called the UWSP athletic office and bought four "Premium Pointer Experience" tickets for the Edgewood game. For $30 a ticket (no extra fees), you get all you-can-eat appetizers, entrees, dessert and 2 drink tickets starting an hour before the game. Not bad since a general admission ticket runs you $10.

I hope other schools give this a try.

Even doing it once or twice a season is probably a good way to raise money.  But we will know more after Stevens Point gets going.

Serpone taking a lot of heat here today, I doubt his theory from the game I have watched over the last 4 years.

I do not see it as heat or agree that a PSA was necessary.  He made comments for the public.  He should expect those to be debated.

But I'll take away my throw-away comment about the multiple Masters degrees if anyone thought that was borderline offensive.
