MIAC looks to be as tough as usual. Am picking GAC as #1- will be anxious to see how their point guard does this season with a year of experience under her belt. Saw the pre-season rankings for the IIAC and WIAC- no big surprises there. Will make for an exciting post-season in the midwest.
On a side note, since I do look into the WIAC and IIAC boards quite a bit, I must say that the MIAC board is way more hostile then the others. Attack the players, attack the coaches, attack attack. I hope the kids don't read it. Felt a bit bad for Hoop 202 who asked where this Scorekeeper character's email was, but then got utterly shot down.
Sha bang. No love for you (think Seinfeld).
Here's the most recent example I caught: the "heckuva allegation with no facts" against a coach and player courtesy of Scorekeeper, who then proceded to attack another poster as a "coward." Man! Cool down! We're talking road rage computer style! I agree with yo jo- keep it to basketball.
But now, I can't resist!!!! Must....make....joke......must make.....joke.
Since Scorekeeper seems to be the crankiest in recent times, I have a great idea for an utterly entertaining experiment. (Just out of curiosity, are you really an Associate Admissions person from a college? I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say that your perception is somewhat altered....conflict of interest anyone? That would make for an interesting story). Anyway, let's go with it. I think we should add a posting site here on good ol D3 hoops about Division III Admissions people from each conference, so we can rag on them and call them names, and tell everyone what a horrible job they do, as well as the people who work for them. I'm sure they have stats too, somehow. We could even make trading cards. It's their own fault for being an Admissions person- attacks come with the job. And who cares if we've never actually spoken to them?! Since when does that matter?! Double check our facts- what for?! Ethical business practice? No thanks! Gossip is the way to go. And let's call them "cheats" and "cowards" with no basis, and come up with/use monikers like Terrible Tammy or something.....let's see....how about "Score....SNIPER." Or maybe "El Scoro No Moro?" I guess I'm not a creative writer, although I do think the last nickname has some merit! But I suppose people aren't as interested in reading about Admissions people. Who cares, right?
Seriously though, women's sports have come so far- it's a shame that it gets so low on boards like this. Where's the comradery? Why be so disrespectin'? There's so much to be proud of. But all there seems to be here is putting your own team on a pedestal, and blasting/criticizing the others to the point of "false accusations" even. Smells like a lawsuit to me. Or bullying. 8th commandment anyone? What ever happend to "keep it clean?" HMMM, what's this I seem to be standing on....it seems to be made of wood....oh sorry, it's my soapbox! Ha ha- I'll get off now before I'm pelted with who knows what...probably just names like coward or something. I'm sure I've overstayed my welcome and will now retreat back to what I'm actually supposed to be writing. Oh well. I'll come back soon for another update on the MIAC Days of Our Lives online edition........!! Maybe we'll find out who shot J.R.?!!! Oops, wrong soap. But it will probably be Mr. Scorekeeper in the broom closet with the candlestick....
