Maybe someone can help me out...why is the 5 seed in the playoffs?  Did Wilkes and Del Val end in a tie and need a tiebreaker? I'm really kind of confused since it wasn't like this a few years ago.

Stop Sobolewski and you've got a good chance to stop King's.  That being said, it's easier said then done. 

Congrats to Kings!  Here's to hoping Desales gets a Pool C invitation that they deserve.  The numbers seem to be working in their favor so let's cross our fingers!

I wasn't making fun of Gaulladet, I just couldn't understand how they would fit in in the conference.  Gaulladet is an excellent school and you'll hear no arguments from me about their importance.  Being that I live in the DC area now, I will say that they do tend to stage protests very well.

My bad...i'm going to take my medicine and shut up now.  Yes I was referencing Gaulladet...uggh. 

I just realized Susquehanna is in Selinsgrove, PA (Snyder County).  There is a Susquehanna County in Pennsylvania which is where I thought they were located.  http://www.susqco.com/   OR  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susquehanna_County,_Pennsylvania


My point still stands, name a landmark around Susquehanna or in Selinsgrove.  (This is even more difficult than Susquehanna County because Selinsgrove is a dump)

I still haven't figured out how the 8 schools in the Landfill are related other than through not playing conference athletic contests during the week.  Take a look! You have a deaf college, a marine academy, a Catholic school that is known for their Architecture program, a Jesuit school, and a few liberal arts colleges. 

Have they figured out what Landmarks are in places like Scranton and Susquehanna?   Dunder-Mifflin doesn't count!

Wilkes is at FDU...right well, have fun in the playoffs Arcadia.   Calling it now: Desales over Arcadia, King's over Manhattanville, King's over Desales. 

Prediction..umm is it at Manhattanvillle or at Arcadia?  If it's at Manhattanville, Wilkes will be sitting home.  Also, is Wilkes at FDU or at home?  Uggh, what a poor way to end the season.

Del Val is not a trap game, it's more along the lines of playing against a high school team.  If King's loses i'll be very, very surprised!   The bigger ripoff last week was in the Georgetown/Villanova game..great officiating there!     Plus, the coach from Rutgers deserves the karma. 

I think Wilkes is better off going on the road to face Desales in the first round.  All the cliches, "it's hard to beat a team 3 teams" blah blah blah and all.  Plus, I really think they do match up with Desales semi-well despite the 2 losses.  All that said...I don't think it matters because I fully believe JP has King's on a mission now...uggh!   At least it's not Scranton!!!!

CJ...I will let all references toward that prom go...well until March Madness

Guess who's back...

I do miss my buddy Saratoga, and I doubt there will ever be another "dynamite" post, but needless to say I'm sitting here wasting away thinking about Margaritaville (above Senunas') and thinking about the old days when Januzzi, Grybowski, et al used to run roughshod over King's.  Unfortunately, the Arcadia debacle has taken the wind out of my trash-talking sails.  JP and company are hitting stride, Wilkes and company..well, maybe Derojas can listen to his sister's cuban gospel songs and get inspiration because I think it's going to take divine intervention to win tonight. 


For those that don't understand my reference to cuban gospel songs:

Capitulate?  I'm not the Colonel but this is a disturbing trend...

Down year for the MAC???  Some embarrassing losses in the early going!  I'm sorry but you just can't lose to Baptist Bible!!!

Salem, Matt is just yapping because he feels that everyone should be happy for these universities.  In essence, many of them left old conference foes hanging.   Many of these schools are wanna be ivy league schools that think they are better than everyone else at the D3 level.  MAC Freedom fans have a reason to be mad at Scranton as they had said they weren't going anywhere.  Don't let facts get in the way of being hard headed Matt.   The institutions in the "conference I will not name for fear of causing them to develop a complex" will not have that fighting mentality because they already have a mentality of thumbing their collective noses at their former conference schools. 

I believe what the good Colonel is trying to say is that it really was underhanded how Scranton left for the Landfill.  Scranton coaches didn't even know until after the move happened and it seemed to be a cop out after many, many years of affiliation with their local rivals.  I still fail to see what Scranton will gain from making the move (academically or athletically) but that is their decision.  This is not D1 where travel plans are easy.   Scranton leaving the MAC is the equivelant of Michigan leaving the Big 10...it doesn't make sense!

Leo...even though  you think you're leaving you're really not!  You see, this message board is too f'd up to stay away from forever.  What will happen is you'll go the summer and fall and totally forget about it and then hear about King's bball while in some distant hole in the ground and come crawling back to see the ramblings of cj, cc, toga, nepa, et al...   I know it is hard to believe and I will say goodbye for now....but in reality the  allure of D3 basketball is too much to stay away forever. 

On the plus side, I hear Toga has entered sensitivity training so there may be a new nicer toga in the near future  (Ok...maybe not after everyone reads his last post..lol)  Do you think Pat would let us sell "We love Toga pins?"  I mean it's a 2 for 1 at college campuses! 

Remember Leo in the immortal words of Animal House: "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? NO!"

cj...umm cold sweat...umm..don't think we need to know about that

I just hope Leo is ok...we sent some people down to watch the bridges to make sure he didn't jump!
