FB: American Rivers Conference

[Schipper Strong]

We are 1 week away from Coe @ Cornell opening up the season

Anybody have any predictions on who will win this matchup? I fit a model on the Kohawks' margin of victory since 1998, and it says this year's game should be a ~38 point win for Coe, but by 2028, Cornell will win by nearly 100 points. The Rams are on the upswing!

Why are the Rams on an upswing of that magnitude? Are the trains shaking the field on pass plays?  I can't see what would cause that kind of swing.

Well, there was a 118 point swing between the 2023 Loras/Simpson game and their 2024 matchup.  We went from an 82-16 Loras win, to the next year seeing Simpson win 66-14.  So I guess anything is possible

I think you're aware, but just so we're all on the same page, it was a joke.

Why can't we have fun light light-hearted conversations on this board without bringing up anxiety producing memory recalls?!?!

Haha, yeah, I almost didn't make that post for that reason!  Even if it happened before your lifetime, Loras does have that 20 game win streak against UD from 1985-2004
