I guess I missed those late December play-off games.<br /><br />Cute baby, too.Jimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02459896631226905726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2159454192076971732.post-81687285896667616162014-11-16T21:11:29.963-06:002014-11-16T21:11:29.963-06:00Wonderful post, lots of good stuff.

Whitewater?<br /><br />Impossible task for the pumpkin heads. Literally. Impossible.<br /><br />In most states the state university system schools which are not DI play DII. Not in Wisconsin. Wisconsin has no state schools playing DII. This means that those middling large state universities in Wisconsin play DIII. They are still actually fairly large schools, schools of a size that in most places play DII or in certain areas of particular football hysteria (Florida) DI. Think Grand Valley State in Michigan or recent national power Mankato State in Minnesota, schools about the size of DIII Whitewater but both DII. Or University of South Florida or University of Central Florida, both DI.<br /><br />I really, really hate to rain on the parade at this late point in an otherwise season for the ages for Macalester but here is my prediction for the game:<br /><br />Whitewater by at least 50.Ginohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03073058005494050176noreply@blogger.com
