I was following the Army and P'ton games. At halftime, the 3rd quarter, I was sure TLD was going to win.

Correct.

Dunno. But probably not. If not the same, something similar must've happened in the past.

Going into today I figured I had a shot. When I saw how many goals Princeton scored today, I was really worried. Morin's score was the last I checked and TLD needed 3 to tie and sure enough, Morin got 3. I was almost ready to concede when I saw Minicus had zero. I figured I'd look at my other guys. I thought maybe Ricciardelli or Peden had a point. Ricciardelli with 2 and TLD's bench guys not getting at least 2 was a miracle. Ricciardelli's game hasn't quite been unlocked yet at ND, but he's a talented scorer, and I'm thankful I've held on to him.

I don't think my roster was the best in our league either this year or last year, but I haven't lost, so it must be pretty good. I think my guys have been remarkably consistent, including the defense. This year it was the attack. Last year my midfield seemed to get me valuable points every week.

Next year I won't have Xander Dickson. Boy, am I glad I held on to him. I think my midfield will need to be revamped and I'll want another high scoring attackmen to go with Kavanagh, Minicus and Hiltz. Hopefully Will Peden can build off his freshman year form and be a consistent scorer for PSU. I have a few guys who saw very little or no playing time this season, so there will be some thoughts on dropping some.

Thanks to Matt and everyone for a great season. I'm looking forward to the draft already.

Wipe the results and there is no upside, only downside? “Biggest” game should apply going forward if there is a tie or something or both teams at risk for taking points off the board. Just seems odd. I can live with second place but it’s something to think about? My opponent had no downside, all upside option. My option was all downside.

I'm not following. A fantasy player plays for P'ton. P'ton wins in the semis and plays again in the finals. You think it makes more sense for the semifinal game to count and not the finals?

What does that mean? The first game chronologically should count?
