Clearly I have disputed an argument that is based upon meaningless facts.
but you are basically arguing past results are meaningless. if that is your argument, what makes you think Tufts has a better chance to win then RIT? it is just one team playing against another.

I don't - I think either one can win this. I have been saying that they are fairly evenly matched and the team that comes up with a better game plan and executes will win. That is the simplistic view but my point is that these are/have been two of the best teams in division 3 lax for the last 10 years. Each game either team has a 50 - 50 shot at winning. It is unfair to say that RIT is dominate over Tufts. Do they do some things better than Tufts - Hell Yeah but Tufts also does things better. I just want to see a fun game. No matter who win. Do I want Tufts to win, sure do but if RIT won, I would happy for those guys and their fans because they earned it. Just like Tufts earned it if they won even though they played a bunch of under-dogs which is out of their control.

this is where we will disagree. RIT in my opinion has better coaching and better players. i say this because they have won it all. Twice. this is where past results come into play. several coaches and players on RIT have won a national championship. they know how to win. we can’t say that about any coaches or players on Tufts.
we saw this last season. Salisbury had coaches that knew how to win the championship and they out coached Tufts to win the game. yes. Tufts can win. and yes, it can be close. but from a neutral perspective, RIT has a lot going in its favor. and that matters.
