2024 Weekly D3 Soccer Pool

[EnmoreCat]

I had Chicago 5-0, but I wanna stress that didn't represent any residue from last year's Natty final 😁.

I'm going for super mediocre. Just how I roll

LOL. There's still hope. Last year, FCGrizzliesGrad finished the first week in next to last place but managed to squeak out a season championship.

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

I started off last year with back to back weeks of 20 points but I was consistent and never had a week under 20. Plus I was one of only 8 people who picked every single week thus getting to drop their lowest score.

Ok.  Here it is, week two.

Great job on the broadcast Paul and EJ!

EJ you are 2 for 2, educating SC on NE Soccer.  Great job.

Great discussion and game choices!

The matchups with F&M v. Rowan and JHU v. Kenyon then they flipflop on Sunday.  F&M v. Kenyon and Rowan v. JHU. Any of these 4 teams could end the weekend with amazing records or falling back in the early season.

One thing that you all sort of said was that F&M and JHU are playing at home both games and both have great home results. Could be the tipping points in all 4 games. F&M usually have a good crowd especially on Friday nights compared to most D3 soccer games.

Plus all games are on turf (JHU brand new turf as it looks like) and Kenyon plays home games on grass. Not sure about Rowan, but the turf/grass might be a factor. I don't think as much though.

Ok.  Here it is, week two.

Ejay's Weekly Pool

On the Cal Tech - Swat game, one question mark for Cal Tech is whether Ishaan Mantripragada will be healthy and back in the lineup.  Etienne Casanova has been carrying the playmaking and scoring load thus far (although he has gotten help from others) the last two games, but the competition level wasn't too high.  They could use another high quality player in the attack.

Another factor is that Cal Tech has been scheduling all of its games at 11 am local time.  The whole LA area is in the middle of a heat wave and temperatures could be as high as 101 degrees by midday in Pasadena on Sunday.  They may have to hose down Cal Tech's turf field just to keep the boys cleats from melting.

[Ejay]

Get your picks in. Pool closes tonight. 35 participants thus far.

Good luck!

42, a new record! There's still  time to enter!

42, a new record! There's still  time to enter!

If I enter 4 or 5 times, does that count for more??

[SimpleCoach]

Here we go.  We talk through the games, and where the people voted.

The Predictions ....

Simple Coach & EJ,

Great conversation! Look forward to it every week now.

Thank you both!
