Steve Spinelli, founder of Jiffy Lube and current Babson President, played at McDaniel College. Not for nothing, but this region has forgotten one if it's own in the NFL, Ali Marpet.

Hyak! Sweet!

Congratulations to the Mules for the first round win!

The West Conn./CNU game was fantastic. From the looks of it on the webcast, Mayser is going to be packed, hot and loud!

Don't think so, but you're better off arriving early and taking advantage of the tailgaiting tradition anyway.

The slowdown is not just D3hoops. Everyone on the PrestoSports network has been at a crawl tonight.

Congratulations to Glenn and the Diplomats!

McDaniel finally broke ground on the new stadium.

Hearing that a coach should be in place by or in March.

I would suggest that Dips75 was suggesting that Dipphan was leaving the bait, not Hooligan.

Having been in every Centennial gym on multiple occasions, I don't think any team's fans are in any position to judge any other teams fans. I have seen all sorts of classiness and classlessness from all sides. The former outweighs the latter, but the latter really stands out.

When you say one and done, do you mean play one and done, or win one then done?

F&M has advanced beyond the first round in each of their dozen NCAA appearances since 1990. That is the only time in 22 appearances F&M has not advanced beyond the first round. Glenn Robinson's teams have gone 40-26 (consolation games creating the two loss years) in NCAA play.

A quick glance at the publicly available EADA data* suggests that Ursinus was "lower-middle class" in terms of total expense** in men's basketball back in the 2003-04 season and steadily rose to the level of "one-percenter" by the end of the decade. It is also scary to see how much total expenses have gone up in the CC over the last half-decade. Some of it is unavoidable (higher gas prices mean more expensive road trips and food for player on those trips, but gas ain't this expensive).

* EADA is fuzzy math and was not designed for comparing institutions to other institutions, however, it is the only data available. It is designed for intra-institutional comparison of expense by gender.
**Total expense is where the math gets fuzzy. It includes every dollar passed through an institution and spent on the sport, even NCAA playoff expenses, which are reimbursed by the NCAA - so the deeper the run, the more skewed the number. Overseas trips are included (F&M 2010 likely includes their Ireland trip). Coaches salaries are also included, but as a full-time equivalency - so if a coach makes $70k, and the school says half his duties are coaching and half are teaching, administrative, etc. they report $35k

Maine Maritime Academy head coach, Craig Dagan is pleased with his team's prospects for the 2011-2012 season. Coming off of a 17-10 season, the Mariners are loaded with experience and leadership. Now they have their sights set on the squad's first North Atlantic Conference championship since 2005...

When Maine Maritime Academy's men's basketball season gets underway, the Mariners will do so with a relatively young squad. Of the 11 players on the roster, six are freshmen.  The young Mariners will look to improve on a 10-15 mark from a year ago, relying on a solid cadre of returning players, but can only do so with immediate help from the freshman class...

Tried to tune into the fourth quarter of the McDaniel/Catholic game, but the WTTR server must have been overloaded. The lack of video and audio combined with the torture of waiting for live stats to update was pretty frustrating for this office-bound alumni   It's pretty disappointing that in 2011, you can't get audio or video out to the world in a reliable fashion.

Was anyone at the game? How did McDaniel look? Was Catholic legit?
