MDAlum82

I ran this match up on Calpreps a few days ago and it had MD as a slight favorite. Now, Harrell picks the Miners as well. MD will have its hands full, no doubt.

Should be a great game btwn two very good football teams. Good luck to both teams for a well played and injury free game! Picking up from a previous thread about the Bowl, LS will get to see the Bowl up close & personal for the first time, if I am not mistaken. Here are a couple of suggestions for those LS fans who really want to be able to see the game. While the visiting bleachers are larger than usual, viewing the game from there is limited due to team typically standing along the sidelines btwn the 40 yd lines. This and the low risers of the visiting bleachers will make it difficult to see much of the action on near-side of the field up to about where the yard markers are painted. (see image below) An alternate area to consider for better viewing would be "the curve". This section is located in the South end of the field, closest to the river. You will get a much better view of the game - at least in my opinion - than just about anywhere on visitor's bleachers. mi dos centavos.

The biggest reason MD does not host games at their field is little to no parking in the vicinity. There are barely enough spaces for 500+ kids, teachers and staff on a daily basis. There would be no way to accommodate 5,000 fans, which is not out of the question for MD home games against a quality opponent. However, even if you built a stadium, it would pale in comparison to the Bowl. btw - as tax payers, we don't have to "borrow" the bowl, we pay for it already.

Yeah, my bad. I did not catch the sarcasm initially. Tried to delete/edit but could not. Mea culpa.

I happen to be an engineer with a PE degree and somewhat of a "math whiz" myself so I think I can muddle through it. Not saying he is wrong but if the number is so "pure", it would seem reasonably easy to justify how it was derived as opposed to something pulled out of thin air. I think I will be able to understand but maybe he can dumb it down a bit for me...or I can ask my 5th grader for help.

Curious, how do you come up with "1.65" as the "Pure" number?

Excellent & insightful read...thanks for posting.

Not certain if this violates any of GID rules but this was just reported on Evv C&P website. Sorry to hear about this but not altogether surprised either.

Curious what you've heard about this year's team? Most of my sources do not seem to share your optimism.
