Hambone just responded to your message via email and yeah its me, and no im not going to get a chance to make it down there and watch them play.  Let me know how it goes

I agree this is all in good fun and if you really take all the trash talking and stuff to heart then maybe you really should not post anything else on here.  They say Baseball is suppose to be fun and so is this.  I think Indian is just sulking a little bit and cant handle that his team got beat. 

So guys how do you think the Conference shapes up after this weekend.

THE_CRU_WHERE_ARE_YOU

I think I hurt THE_CRU_05's feelings.  i got on him pretty hard for messing with Infielddad and JSG.  Im sure he is aware that if the Cru does actually make it to the championship game of the asc tournament that 1 of those east powerhouses will man-handle them.  where is that pansy?  light us up on this message board....we are ready for your cocky-typing to make us think differently about your club.  afterall they did put a beatdown on a strong NCCAA team last night.  maybe they will get an intramural championship t-shirt for their efforts?

I know it is still early and we are only half way through the season and yes I know CTX has a great track record and all of these other teams in the East are great squads, but you have to give the CRU and Wells the credit they deserve.  He has done a great job turning the program around in Belton.  Yes you guys did smoke us every year and I played in those days when you, White, or Decker would go 4-5 with 2 bombs against us.  It just seems to me being a Baseball fan you really have to give them the benefit of the doubt.  I might be wrong about this but wouldnt you say at this point that UMHB is the powerhouse in the West.  I mean look at their team numbers it is kind of ridiculous.  I believe that when they make it to the Championship round no Team is going to handle them.  I believe that it is going to be a very good tournament. 

Im just saying everybody in here is not giving them any credit and they really do have a great team down there this year, I think it makes for an interesting tournament and could be one of the best divisions in the West that we have had in a long time. 

I like to see that our conference is getting stronger every year and that all the teams are getting better, I mean Sul Ross is even a little more talented than the have been.

All I ask is give them a little credit I mean we always gave the teams that smoked us every year the credit, CTX, TLU, MCM, HSU have always been the top dogs and now its nice to see other teams up there besides those guys every year. 

Please let me know your thoughts, just trying to get a little insight from other former players in this conference.

Ok I already apologized for my previous comments that i had written if you would take the time and actually read the post that you are replying to then maybe you would know what is going on.  So if you want to know what I said last then go back and read my last post. 

So go back and read and then you can make a worth while statement.

Ok your right I did take it a little far with the monkey comment and I apologize, I guess I was just kind of tired of some people and remember I do say some people not giving credit where credit is due.  Ohh yes and I was there at the times when CTX did woop us every single year and it looks like those days are behind us.  So apologize for any wrong things I might have said just trying to represent my alma mater. 

Champion is a good friend of mine to and I was just joking as well, this is all for fun and games not trying to permanently piss anybody off.  What I should of said about Villegas is he is from what I have seen out of him in person he is better than anybody in D3 I have seen or played against at this point so that is the way I should have said those things. 

And again I apologize for the monkey comment should not have said that.


I agree that the Krogs and people like that in this conference did make a name for this conference but come on that was a while back im sure anybody in this message board could have done the same if we all got to play 9 seasons in the same conference. 

My prediction was right the CRU 2 of 3 from McMurry

I agree that Villegas is good player, and when his time is up he will have put up some big numbers.  That being said, I don't know that it is fair to say he is the best to play in D3.  Does nobody here remeber a player by the name of Aaron Crais?  That guy dominated pitching in the ASC for four years.  I also think that your eyesight is a little narrow.  There are some pretty good players on the west coast. 

I am not saying this to be rude, I know that you said he is the best player you have seen, but who have you seen?  Josh Lee, a former McMurry pitcher/hitter was also a very good player.  As was Carrizales and Erickson for McMurry, Simpson for Hardin-Simmons, Kaase for TLU, Amyx at Tyler, White and Berkman at Concordia, and almost every hitter in the UTD lineup the last 2 season (Rosen, Elizondo, Bird, Elliot to name a few).  There have been many good players to come through the ASC so I have a hard time saying the Villegas is the best in D3 (AND I HAVE SEEN HIM PLAY).  But you are right, he is VERY GOOD.  It is definitely a fair statement to say he is one of the best hitters in the ASC right now.  There is no arguement for that.   It will be fun to see his final numbers at the end of his career to see how they compare to some of the hitters in the past that have good numbers.

Ohh no I guess im being not clear enough and should probably clarify what im trying to say, at this point from what little I have seen in Villegas I beileve has the potential to be up there with those guys or even better.  I played against all of those guys and they were all great players, I think they were all good I would have to disagree with Simpson I think he was way overrated. I do however agree with all the rest of the guys you mentioned. 

Josh Lee is probably my pick for the best I have seen in our conference.  Ohh yeah and for Hambone I also hit a Bomb off the great Josh Lee.  Just thought I would throw that in there and I know for a fact Hambone hit way more Bombs than I did. 

Dont get me wrong just stating that I think he has the Potential to be the best the conference has seen.  I as well cant wait to see what his career numbers end up being.

Ohh yes one more thing is anybody as excited as I am that TLU is not living up to there beloved name in the ASC, I know im not the only one that was tired of hearing about TLU year in and year out.  Its about time they start talking about other teams in the conference. 

Ok your right I did take it a little far with the monkey comment and I apologize, I guess I was just kind of tired of some people and remember I do say some people not giving credit where credit is due.  Ohh yes and I was there at the times when CTX did woop us every single year and it looks like those days are behind us.  So apologize for any wrong things I might have said just trying to represent my alma mater.

My prediction was right the CRU 2 of 3 from McMurry

Ok so everyone is questioning if the CRU really is a legit team and there is really nothing to say but they are a legit team.  I watched them play 2 weeks ago and they hae the complete package. Defense, Hitting, and a Really good staff.  Not to forget they are 16-4 on the year and #20 in the Nation.  You dont just go 16-4 and get ranked nationally if you are not a legit team.  Wells and Dunaway have done a great job with those kids down there in Belton and nobody should question their talent.  I played through the rough days in Belton and coached for a year there to and this is by far the best team in the last 10 years at UMHB.  They have a kid by the name of Villegas that is probably the best D3 player to come through this conference. 

You say what is in the water down in Belton in previous post, and can I say this what was in the Water in Austin for 5 years with all the monkeys yall had there.  You make fun of Champion for his Eye black and things like and what you guys do not realize is we did those things to make fun of the Deckers and Krogs in our conference.  Not trying to stir any bad blood or anything just simply trying to state a point. 

I look for the CRU to win the West and Dual it out with UT-Tyler in the conference tournament. 

My pick for the weekend is the CRU wins 2 of 3 From McMurry
