Subject: 2009 NCAA Playoffs

"Texas?!?! You pick (Texas) to win the (2009) NCAA Playoff???? You need to do a re-boot or read a newspaper!! Roll Tide won it on the field, not in some computer replay!! How about three straight years (2007-2009) with that joke of a conference (Big-12) winning your playoffs???!!?"

Editor's Response: In the case of Texas in 2009, you can't argue with what Alabama did on the field. They deserve the accolades and I would agree, they are the better team.
In defense of the Longhorns winning the simulation game, this was one game and Colt McCoy did NOT get injured in the simulation. Alabama would not beat Texas EVERYTIME they played each other. Maybe they'd win 7-out of-10, but who knows. If you look at the simulation stats, the Tide outplayed them, but some weird occurrences took place (2-blocked punts, 2-missed FGs)
Also, the playoff is setup as an 8-team tournament. That plays a role in difficult matchups, fatigue, etc.
Alabama may be the better team, but for one simulated game, it didn't turn out that way.

Thank you for putting together a wonderful site! I have a lot of great memories of playing with an unbelievable group of guys in McKeesport. The Pennsylvania HS greats tournament was very enjoyable and entertaining to read. I love how in depth you were with the stats and highlights of each game. Thanks again for including the 1994 Mckessport team. It was truly a pleasure to be associated with that team, although I think we would have faired a little better than the quarterfinals. HA-HA

Thanks again,
Bill Isbir

Hey I think this is an awesome idea...I wish someone would create a video with the same premise. I do have to comment on my Mckeesport Tigers losing to the 1945 Donora team...As member of the !994 Mckeesport defense, I can honestly say there is no way any team would have rushed for 200+ yards...It just wouldn't happen. I'm sure we weren't the only ones, but when we were blowing teams out, our starters would sit the entire 2nd half, some games we'd be sitting by the middle of the second quarter, I say that to say this, the numbers do not reflect our dominance. I heard about the 87 North Hills team, the one thing you have to take into account is that our offense ran a no-huddle, we owned the fourth quarter of every game for a reason. Not to mention we won the state championship without two of our starting linemen. Again, I appreciate the attempt but you can't deny greatness. We were the best to ever come out of Western Pa. Period. On a side note, the person who did your research may want to take note, that Saeon Coleman, Free-Safety was 2nd in total tackles behind Brandon Short, I think it's a safe bet to acknowledge him as a defensive star also...Of course I'm a little bias....
It is absolutely an honor for our team to be recognized almost 15 years later, along with the greatest high school teams ever! I agree, these were all great Championship teams.
Someone needs to contact EA sports, and get the video game in motion, it would be awesome! You guys definitely did your research.  
I bet Bill Isbir, wanted a touchdown pass somewhere in there!! LOL!
Keep up the great work, and thanks again.

Sincerely,
Saeon Coleman
Mckeesport Defensive Back

Thanks for all your work with this mythical tournament. I played for P-W '63 and although we lost to Carlisle, it was a trip down memory lane. Laughed out loud noticing the officials were Duke Maronic (who actually had our state title game against Norwin), Steve Honzo, etcetera. You made it seem almost real.
 
Thanks for the memories. I am passing your site and tournament on to all my teammates and Coach Stofko who is 80 years old and will certainly get a kick out of it.

The simulation that you shared with me looks pretty cool! Thanks for including the link in your e-mail. I have been coaching HS baseball in Michigan for some 20+ years and have had over 150 players go on to play at the collegiate or professional level. Currently, I have at least half a dozen former players playing D1, 9 in the minors and one in the major league--JJ Putz. Needless to say, I am in agreement that the '99 CC team was the best HS baseball team to ever play in Michigan. While a number of guys from that team played on the collegiate level, four are still playing in the minor league today.

I think that the 99 team would welcome the challenge from other teams seeking the title of the best HS baseball team ever in the state of Michigan. I happen to call Bobby Malek and Anthony Tomey yesterday, and shared with them, the link to the website you provided me with in your e-mail. Needless to say, knowing their competitive nature, they were very intrigued and welcomed any new challenge.
Thanks for your contribution in helping the boys re-live that magical season. Long live the "Glory Days."

This is a great website! By any chance could you do O’dea Bball 1997(29-0 with NBA player Kevin Burleson) against Mount Vernon 1992(with Mark Hendrickson). I appreciate it a lot!

I conducted a tournament like this for the IHSA in the mid 1990s, using every state champ, as well as a separate tournament for Class A. It was in the state tournament series programs (Regionals, Sectionals and State). Additionally, the tv company made a film of each of the Elite 8 games (putting together a 1 minute film) for each Class 1972 Thornridge beat 1958 Marshall in the tournament, called Ultimate Madness. I also did a playoff game between 1972 Thornridge and 1971 East Chicago Washington (Indiana) for a newspaper, which Thornridge won.
