Will there be any broadcasting of the R-MC vs UW- Stout game Friday?

Check athletics site at www.uwstout.edu. It says something about Moose radio or something. I believe there's a link, so perhaps it will be streamed on the web. We in Wisconsin are hoping so.

I suspect, though, that Randolph-Macon will be an even greater challenge this year than last.  They're big, they'll probably get to play at home again (a true yellow-jacket nest), and they have one of the best point guards in D3 (Megan Silva).  One of my big regrets this year is not seeing the Bruins get another shot at them.  We had them on the ropes last year but let the crowd get back in the game which took us out of it.  If PLU or UPS can knock them off it won't hurt my feelings.

RMC won't host sectionals this year. I thought I saw Pat say it rotates to the West this year, so the "hive" won't be a factor for a NWC/Texas team if RMC gets that far.  It will be a tough test for RMC for sure.  I was at the games Trinity/Fox vs RMC games last year and they were very tough for the Jackets even on their home court.  George Fox was a classy team (so were the fans), not to mention VERY tough. Sounds like PLU and UPS are in that same category.   If RMC gets knocked out, I will be rooting for PLU or UPS all the way.  Good luck.


How could you ??  I thought you were an ODAC fan??
And there you are on the ODAC board rooting for RMC.
I guess if you bet on both teams you break even, huh?

Go Jackets.

[hoopstermom]

Gava - I AM an RMC fan and an ODAC fan and a women's basketball fan.  I appreciate a good game and a good team and don't have problems stating so.   

I'm making the trip to Tacoma to root for the Yellow Jackets (on my on time and nickel)....ARE YOU!!!

As much as I would have liked to seen RMC host the sectionals, it seemed clear from multiple posts from many with more knowledge of the sectional selection process than I that it was not a likely possibilty.  Any team playing on someone else's home court, 3000 miles away from their own home will be more challenged than if they are playing on their home court.  I was only stating the obvious.

I was impressed with George Fox when they played at Macon last year and it was a tough game for Macon even with their home crowd.  Every game is tough at this level.

I'm not a betting person really, I just like to root for teams I like and that definitely is RMC and any other ODAC team and maybe even PLU except if they are playing RMC.

No, made the Regionals but you apparently have more nickels than me.   Talked to Seattle today. Pack your raincoat, sunlamp and Prozac. Lot of highly contagious SAD going around out there. Hopefully RMC will keep you smiling.   
Didn't realize the first half of your post was Swiss's.

[hoopstermom]

Lucked out with nice tax refund to afford the trip plus a supportive spouse.

FYI - I posted a response on NW board too. Seems someone thought you were too hard on me.  Hey it goes with the territory.  I figure you don't post unless you expect someone to respond.

Hoopstermom, thanks for the feedback.  I recognized that were totally able to defend yourself, but I couldn't help correcting GAVA's assignment of Swiss's post to you creating the delusion that you were a fickle fan.  I am with you in loving good basketball, men or women.  When RMC knocked out my GFU Bruins last year, they were my sentimental favorite in the final 4, just as PLU may be your's this year.  I hope that is not just wishful thinking, as I remember how good your point guard was and apparently still is.  Oh, and you guys don't have bad heigth  either.  PLU will have to rely on speed and protecting the rock. Good luck until Saturday night, assuming PLU can keep it together on Friday.  Otherwise, I'll just have to root for RMC all weekend!!

Congrats to Silva on being the Jostens Award winner... 


Good luck to both teams this weekend!

I will not  have access to a radio tonight. Can someone keep me updated on the BC game?

Jeremy,

Check my BridgewaterFootball.com blog for a link to a chatroom I set up for BC fans to get live scoring updates (scroll the bottom);

http://bridgewaterfootball.blogspot.com/2006/03/lady-eagles-reach-ncaa-sweet-16.html

Also, I'll be posting live scores from all the men's and women's games on D3hoops.com's scoreboard;

Hoopstermom...I am so jealous that you get to go to Tacoma!! I amusingly looked at airline tickets and I thought rent or go see RMC? I would have chosen the later, but my parents had a different idea!

Anyway this is my most favorite time of the year. It begins with ODAC Tourney, than D3 Tourney along with ACC and SEC tourney ( I am a Kentucky and Maryland fan), then D3 Championship with D1 Tourney, and ending finally with D1 Championship. I wish I could be like Elvis and have 10 TV's in my living room with different games playing.

FYI: You can listen to all the games in Washington at the 3 other school's respective websites. I know rmc.edu has the links posted under the women's basketball page on the athletics page!

Sidenote: I saw a former BC women's basketball player in the local grocery store last Sunday night and I thought it was so cool that we walked by each other and said "Hey Congratulations, Good Luck in Washington!" and "You too, Congratulations, Good Luck in Maine!" Even though we both are "old heads" and don't play anymore this is the closest we can get to playing again (besides the occasional pick-up game at the gym)! We like to say that we "layed the foundation" for these championship teams...HAHA, I know!!! TOO FUNNY!!

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST: CONGRATULATIONS (for the 3,000th time this year ) to Megan Silva for winning the ultimate individual award in D3 basketball, the Jostens Award! The funny thing is a lot of players would love to have half of all her accolades, but all she wants is that National Championship Trophy! Gosh I hope she gets it along with the other Yellow Jackets!
