Derek's DIII 20 Predictions

I do not think Derek is far off with his predictions. Let's get the conversation going.

I will set the over/under at 13. Who is taking the under and who is taking the over?:D

Thanks Derek, this is well thought out. I could not find last year's predictions to see how many you got correct. So, maybe I set the over/under too high or too low.:cool:

Discuss!
Some great stuff I think I will go with over just because of how intersting some of these are.
 
Re: Derek's DIII 20 Predictions

They have never made it there (much less even make it into the NCAA's)

Totally and completely not true. RIT is 0-1 all-time in NCAA tournament games.

Also, let's be fair, RIT has only been in the ECAC West four years, so they're 0-3 trying to get to the championship game. Utica has been in the league a lot longer.

RIT *has* been to the ECAC East title game.

Fixed your post. Hope that still makes you feel better in some twisted way ;)
 
Re: Derek's DIII 20 Predictions

No worries Derek...I like most of your predictions but will take under 13.

The only ones I really take exception to are # 10 cause I'm a homer and # 3. Laura Hurd's accomplishments were captured in 4 years...not 5.


Congratulations. Somehow, this is the only post on the whole year that we get crickets from the Northfield crowd. It's amazing...almost as if you two didn't even post anything.

I don't know much about River Falls, but RIT has a great goaltender. She is the missing link that RIT has been looking for the past few years.

I'd love to see RIT and River Falls duke it out in the national final. Especially if they both come in undefeated. That would be a championship for the ages.

I wouldn't mind that. I think that would settle who is better as far as east vs west goes. ;) An undefeated team from the east or an undefeated team from the west. :eek:

Let's not get to ahead of ourselves. There's a ton of good hockey to be played still and both teams have a long way to go.
Besides, RIT showed everyone last weekend the difference between East/West on the road in Adrian. And I think Trinity will do the same this weekend.

Maybe Adrian just wasn't that good? I expect you will be right though.

True, I like getting ahead of myself though. I'm not playing so I don't have to worry about the pressure. Although I think some of the girls read these forums but whatever thats their issue.

I would like to think they don't take to much stalk into what you say on these boards.

Geez, what's your problem? Plugger was completely incorrect that RIT has never been to the NCAAs, and it's hardly fair for nyi19 to compare Utica's 1-for-10 to RIT's 0-3 in reaching the West title game. That's all I was pointing out. It wasn't some attempt to "feel better".

Adrian is horribly inconsistent. I'd say the Friday game was much more representative of how the team could be then the Saturday game. Their coaching has them downright confuddled. If you have paid any attention to Adrian over the last 2-3 years, the team that plays on Friday is rarely the same team that plays on Saturday.

Mostly because it is irrelevant - the NCAA addressed this issue they are the final arbiters of eligibility. eom :D

i hardly thing that Adrian is representative of a top western team. not saying they're crap, but not a top team. scores like 4-2 and 8-0 are expected when playing a top team from out east. in my opinion the 4-2 win by RIT is bordering embarrassing on its own.

07-08 RF 5 AC 1 RF 1 AC 1
08-09 RF 3 AC 5 RF 2 AC 3
09-10 RF 4 AC 2 RF 2 AC 3
So overall Adrian 3-2-1 River Falls 2-3-1
I guess we'll see after they play this season if they are a top western team.
 
Re: Derek's DIII 20 Predictions

This is a great thread we have learned a lot like goals and scoring are not the same thing, and a tie is not a defeat. Seriously who are these people and have they ever watched a sporting event that did not involve their kid. Maybe we should have a hockey for beginers thread to help theese folks out.
 
07-08 RF 5 AC 1 RF 1 AC 1
08-09 RF 3 AC 5 RF 2 AC 3
09-10 RF 4 AC 2 RF 2 AC 3

No need to get butt sore. History also shows adrian not pulling through when it counts. Also nobody is still playing from the 07-08 season, for RF at least. I think you pointing out old wins and losses is pointless. It would be dumb of me to do if it favored RF. I hope if I ever use that somebody calls me out on it. Each season is a fresh start. THIS season I fees that they don't represent a top western team. In the past they were much closer, but not this year
 
Re: Derek's DIII 20 Predictions

1-for-2 after Amherst's 3-0 loss to Middlebury tonight.

Definitely a little bit of surprise there. We'll see how both teams rebound tomorrow.

Great night of D-III hockey with some good games and interesting scores. GAC/Trinity tie and Superior/LF tie. Lot of eastern teams will be rooting for the Bantams against UST tomorrow.
