What do you mean by where do they (Austin) fall?
T

I've read this forum for several years now and I think there's alot of good information on it.
A few of the section 1A posts that have been on here the last several days, are embarassing.
I have to agree with jetjock that some of the recent posts are not Austin people.
I don't think there are alot of Austin posts, but I'm sure there are alot of readers of this forum, from Austin.
I think Austin has some seniors that are 6 year varsity starters, that have played year round together for 8 years, that want to make it to state once in there high school career.
A little respect please.

I will jump on the "apologize to RSI" bandwagon.
My apologies RSI. I thought the thread read SECTION 1A not Albert Lea's game schedule.

Now that I had my fun. Seriously, When does the seeding votes take place, before or after the AL/MW game? I thought it was pregame.

So austin 1
MW 2 Split with FBL, Won last meeting, beat AL
AL 3 Tied and beat FBL
FBL 4

The seedings have to be in by 10 AM Wednesday. AL/MW play Tuesday, but I guess some of the coaches could vote before. The details are on the MSHSL website under the 1A bracket area. The seeds are based on several factors, which are listed...not just head to head.

any thoughts on the austin/new ulm game?

New Ulm just beat Waseca 16-1 so...

Austin 17
New Ulm 16

Help me out here. Where are these factors listed? I thought it was simply section coaches rankings placed in a vote. Each coach in the section votes on how they feel the teams should be ranked.

They do vote, but the votes are supposed to be based on several factors...

You are correct jetjock, this thread is for 1A and not AL's schedule. Maybe I'm wrong but I have a feeling the AL and West game will have an impact on the seedings.

More later, gotta run...

That Bridger post was hilarious. Obviously an AL fan or parent by how quick RSI defends it. The levels people go to.
Jet you have to remember what I tell you. You can't reason with them. South of Owatonna, it is like Arkansas(Jet your wife will enjoy that one). Cousins marrying Cousins. Every AL practice or game is one big family renunion.

I like us at the 4th seed. We were one post away from winning that game Thurs night. I want the first shot at Austin. Then if somehow AL could get by MW, it would be fun to go to state through them. This section is tighter then many believe.

Oh yea, by the way, our first line smoked Austin's second line.

Thanks for the good info Twin.

Funny falcon. My wife even laughed.

Being this AL vs. MW game is a big deal.

Where does AL want to be seeded and Why?

Aw shucks y'all, I guess yer so good, it don't matter.
Y'all come back next year, now, hear?

PS---you will have to ask the coach where he want to be seeded...

Well ya, obviously. Wow another of my posts thats misinterpreted....and they make perfect sense to me.

Every AL practice or game is one big family renunion.

Oh, so it's Austin and Faribo ganging up on AL people, I get it. Although, we are a little too close to Iowa for comfort.

falcons, what's a renunion?

After being enlightened by youse guys, I guess that game against West isn't that big of a deal. Ya gotta beat 'em all right? I'm not totally sold on Faribo at the 4 by the way. If you throw out those 2 fluke games against AL and the other against West, Faribo is the 2.

Gotta go again, busy day...

Children, children, children, remeber in first grade, don't throw rocks at others unless you want them to throw them back. Laugh a little.

My point about the seeds, was they mean very little. The #1 seed gets the bye. Between falcuns barbs, he stated why he wants the fourth seed. I was curious what was so important about the 2nd seed versus the third seed.

The new season starts in sections. There are 4 very good teams there and who knows, Northfield could play Cinderella. The bottom line is, you have to beat two very good teams to go to state. What does the order matter, unless you match up better against certain teams. And one of the great things about athetics, is the best team doesn't always win.


By the way RSI, The Austin Senior Class prefers Cash Gifts.

Also, in trying to ease the AL pain. Falcons took a shot at me, My wife is from the GREAT STATE OF ARKANSAS. GO HOGS!!!!

He obviously knows who I am.

Just in case that was intended for me. I realize all this is just good natured ribbing and hopefully other realize the same is true of the posts I leave.

My point about the seeds, was they mean very little.

True and I realized that a little more clearly after reading one of your earlier posts. Ya gotta beat 'em all. There's really no big difference between a 2nd or 3rd seed, but funny things can happen around seeding time so you want to put yourself in the best possible position with wins. I think for a young team like AL, a 2 or 3 seed would be a nice accomplishment and give them something on which to build for next season. I don't think anybody would have predicted a 2 or 3 for AL before the season started. That said, since AL lost to Northfield at the beginning of the year they still could end up as low as 5. I don't know, maybe it's too late, but I still think the West @ AL game is important to both teams.

By the way RSI, The Austin Senior Class prefers Cash Gifts.

Check, cash gifts it is. I'll sure miss those girls...

My wife is from the GREAT STATE OF ARKANSAS

Jenn's from Arkansas???

Here I go defending Austin again.
Funny how nobody jumps on New Ulm for running up the score against Waseca. New Ulm has 5 double digit W's, talk about inflated stats. Because of games like that, New Ulm had 2 AP All-State players. Don't get me wrong IMO they're very good players, just not quite All-State caliber.

Today my guesses for the 1A seeds:

1-Austin
2-Faribault
3-West
4-Albert Lea
5-Northfield

If AL beats WEST, switch AL and WEST around...

Anybody else have a thought??

Jet you are so boring nice. I had those AL babies crawling back to their mothers.

RSI, you and I finally agree. Albert Lea should be the 5th seed.

Austin 1
Mankato W 2
Northfield 3
Faribault 4
AL 5

Pack your bags, AL you are coming to Faribault.

Just to let you know petomwendo score was 7 to 1 I believe.

I thought watching austin's game that they didnt play their best and they can play better but its a win! And austin's goalie Amy she had some great saves.

There goes falcons, trying to stir things up again. Nice try, I said they "could" be as low as 5. Nice work, I like how you seeded the teams in an order that is most likely to get somebody's undies in a bundle.

p.s. A trip to Faribo wouldn't bother the AL girls, I'm confident they can beat Faribo AGAIN.

RSI,
I'm sure they could beat them AGAIN, unless the net mysteriously pops off before a goal goes in AGAIN...

since your talking about Faribault just tell the refs to check for mouth guards then Im pretty sure they will have a lot of penalties if there still is a no mouth guard rule but then again all refs sure do wear green for faribault!

Based on the newspaper reports this year, they should probably have gags !!!

Well here we are less than 24 away from the seeds being announced.
Any last minute thoughts?
Predictions?

My prediction(s):
1. Austin
2. AL (by virtue of W over West 1/30)
3. West (by virtue of W over Faribo 1/16)
4. Faribo (only 1 W over seeds 2 & 3)
5. Northfield
6. East (tougher schedule and beat Waseca)
7. Waseca
