WBB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

GAVA,
Once again I ask, what IS your purpose in this room? You very seldom bring anything constructive to this site. You obviously have some bitter resentment of VIrginia Wesleyan, which is a problem for YOU to work out on your own. Seek anger management help.

No one brings up the "kicking" incident because it is over and has been dealt with. It doesn't excuse what happened, but it also doesn't mean that particular player or team is the only team in the ODAC to react during competition. There seems to be a lot of "selective seeing" that goes one. People saw the VWC player kick, but failed to see the kick by the other team that preceded it earlier or the very blatant shove by the other team that nearly knocked a VWC player through the bench. Why didn't anyone bring that up?

The only unsportsmanship award given out this year would probably go to you GAVA, for continually attempting to degrade a young team and coach that is once again becoming a force in the ODAC. And try to let this sink in, only ONE player, ONE GAVA, ever participated in this site. And that might have been for one post. You on the other hand, seem to be here everyday trying to put down VWC any possible way you can.

Relax, go to the tournament, support your team, and try not to be the bitter fan that you have become.

I'm most surprised by Hanson earning 1st team and Mathews only getting honorable mention. I guess the coaches and SIDs put emphasis on shooting a lot (which Mathews clearly doesn't).

Point of clarification, SIDs do not vote on any of the awards except Scholar-Athlete. The rest are solely decided by the coaches.

Thanks. Nice choice w/ Kinder!

I agree with you, the kicking incident is over with, hopefully it has been dealt with appropiately, and conversation about it should be old news. I think VWC is very lucky that Coach Willi decided against sending the video tape into the ODAC commissioner, because it showed a blatant kick by a VWC player. If she got tangled up that is fine and understandable, but that was not the case. I not only saw it first hand, I saw it later on tape. However, I did not see a BC player kick or shove purposefully a VWC player. I think if that was the case, that there would be a little more noise on this board from you Marlin fans. There were several posts about the kicking incident by VWC, only you have brought it up against BC. Suck it up, a player from your team made a mistake, I am sure she is sorry for it, it is over. Quit making up things to try and make this incident seem a little less classless by your Marlins. You sound like a little kid.....

"well....she shoved me and kicked me...so I kicked her...why isn't anyone getting made at her"

I agree with you valley, I was there, I saw a blatant, and I mean blatant kick by a VWC player. I did not see any blatant and puposeful plays by BC. There is a difference in playing hard, aggressive, and physical, compared to playing dirty. A lot of teams in this league play very physical. There have been two instances I have seen where there were some really hard intentional fouls called. Some of the fans for those two teams were upset because they argued, "they're just playing hard!!!" Those fans have a point, the players were probably just playing hard. However, what I saw at VWC was a very classless, blatant, and dirty play. There was absolutely no need for it, and she was absolutely not tangled up. I guess Marcus Vick was also tangled up, or maybe he tripped over that guy's ankle?

Jmill, I also agree with you. It is over, it has been over and dealt with. Lets forget about it because it is the most exciting time of the year...tournament time!

Good luck to all the teams!

Fairmont, Valley,
This is my last post about this. Just as the both of you saw the kick, I was also at that game and saw the shove. Just as blatant as the kick you describe, so was the shove. It happened, despite the fact that the two of you didn't see it for whatever reason. And Valley, this was no attempt at a "she shoved me, she kicked me so..." explanation. Just accept the fact that your players, as well as others on other teams, do the same thing.

Good luck to your teams in the tournament.

I am trying to listen to the semifinal games at odaconline.com but can't locate where to listen/watch. Can anybody help me?

RMCAlum30 · February 23, 2006, 02:41:52 PM

I haven't been able to find any links either... so I don't know if they are broadcasting it over the internet or not. Does anyone know the results of the R-MC/W&L game?

Mom#15 · February 23, 2006, 02:45:32 PM

I just spoke with Joe from VWC's and he said that RMC won today but that they had a run for the money. He also said that unless the one of the school's playing had radio coverage we won't hear/see anything until at least tomorrow....bummer....ODAC should provide coverage today too.

How close is M. Silva to breaking Fletcher Johnson's scoring record?

onesealteam · February 23, 2006, 02:51:55 PM

Yeah that really bummed me out today, I was all set to listen to the games, but then I re-read the announcement and it says they will only be broadcasting the semi-finals and the championship. I think that is bs, those of us that just graduated and are in grad school (

RMC30) or have jobs can't be there but I would have definetly listened! I guess for tommorrow...the score isn't posted yet and it is 2:49, GET ON IT SCHLOTTY! love ya though!! If anybody has access to a computer please post something about the game, no detail too small!! I want to know what a "run for their money" actually means!!

TC..it's CBASS in case u didn't know!

RMCAlum30 · February 23, 2006, 02:59:51 PM

Yes... a friendly face on the board

Big sis told me that Schlotty couldn't go to the tourney - prob had to stay back and cover baseball. Hopefully she'll have something on the website soon or post up on here when she gets the info from the game. I'm gonna call some of the ladies in a little while and find out how the game went... I'll let ya know.
T.C.

YellowJacket lawyer: According to my records she needed to score 16 pts. today to surpass Fletcher Johnson's record.

onesealteam · February 23, 2006, 03:05:20 PM

Ok I have to say I think that is BS that she didn't go to the tourney! I am sure she went to the men's. Baseball isn't even in "full swing" yet, are they? Any matter, I think someone should be there, especially since they are yet again the top seed. RMC should evaluate their budget and see if they can hire a "deputy Schlotty"...to do things like cover the widely popular (

) baseball team! TC, I am trying to go on Saturday, I know Crit and Lloyd are going!

This is fantastic. It would make her the greatest hoops player to ever come out of R-MC, wouldn't it? I love it.

I finally got to see her play at Roanoke in December, and it was something to see. Enjoyed every minute of it.

onesealteam · February 23, 2006, 03:22:41 PM

There is no question about it:
** Megan Silva IS the best basketball player to play for Randolph-Macon College.** Notice I did not just say women's basketball.

She is all-time leader in points, assists, and steals for RMC Women's Basketball. Her steals are the most for either men's or women's basketball in the history of both the ODAC and Randolph-Macon. She probably surpassed Fletcher Johnson today to become the all-time leader in points for both RMC men's and women's basketball. She needs just 22 more assists to surpass the ODAC's men all-time leading scorer. It is obvious that she has individual talent and can score or make a play when ever needed tom, but what makes her the best player is she made her whole team better, no matter which team was on the court! And on top of that she is an awesome person, I do not know anyone that could say a bad word about her...now how many people can honestly say that not one person has something to bad to say about them??

I am so happy for her, nobody else deserves it more!

I wish I knew the score today, or something $:-\$ $:-\$
