WBB: American Southwest Conference

[millie]

Our prayer are with Conaway family and the entire HSU team.  I know ya'll are strong and will get through this.
We will be thinking of you.

[Ralph Turner]

last night cowgirl shanika conaways sister was killed in a car accident, by a drunk driver.  all our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family. 

The other day, I heard of a judge that sentenced a drunk driver who killed an innocent person to 180 days in jail to be served...

Dec 24th thru Jan 1st, and
3 days around the victim's birthday, and
3 days around the birthday of the victim's mother and
3 days around the day of the accident,
every year for 10 years.

I do not like alcohol and driving!

ralph, that is a pretty cool punishment...at least he will have to think about what he has done for 10 years...rather that be sentenced to 7 and out in 2 (like the woman who's 18 yr old foster child had been starved for 12 yrs and weighed 65 lbs when he was rescued)

o.k. what about the polls, standings, etc...MC  beat ETBU by about 30 (hubby could not remember the score) they also beat LeT Thursday.  with MC back on track(we hope) and HPU stirring up the west....what now?

That is tough to hear about Conaways family. 

I wish I could fully enjoy this win by the HPU Lady Jackets but it's hard to after watching how the men played. 

I am still waiting for my favorite poster calhsu to show up.  Although he's probably not able to talk too much with that foot in his mouth.

I said it before if they had shot just 30% in Brownwood they would have beaten HSU and would have been in the game against McMurry.  I think this weekend proves that.

Ralph what happened to the ASC posts on the baseball board? I was going to post the HPU scores but couldnt' find it.

[fanstand]

How tragic that another one in this conference has lost someone unexpectedly and in such a terrible way. Our thoughts and prayers are with their family. That is all I can say right now.

[Pat Coleman]

Ralph what happened to the ASC posts on the baseball board? I was going to post the HPU scores but couldnt' find it.

We broke those up by region. The ASC is in the West Region for baseball, as you probably know.

[sethhpu]

"Meia Daniels proved why she is probably the MVP of the ASC West with 23 points and nine rebounds. She buried five 3-pointers in the game. "

That statement was in the HSU article written today that is accesible on the front page.

[sethhpu]

By the way my thoughts and prayers go out to the Conaway family as well.

 Daballa,     Sorry to keep you waiting.  I did watch the gametracker till the end.  After the game I went out and committed sucide.  .....  No,  that is  just what you thought I would do.  What I did was went out and enjoyed our wonderful California day,  (around 70)

First things first.  Hats off to the jacket ladies.  I can't be more impressed for them to come and beat both Abilene teams.  
No,  not one excuse.  The Cowgirls didn't lose because of officating,  a death in the family.  They had one lady drop a couple of free throws in the last minute and the Cowgirls walked off with a two point loss.  
I was wrong,  I was wrong,  I was wrong  I was wrong.
Now are some of you happy
Now my turn.  Yes I did find one thing good about the loss. Only a half full person like myself could have thought of it.
Just imagine if the jacket player misses the free throws,  West grabs the ball and score and the Cowgirls win.  I know, wishful  thinking.   If that had happened they would have won but they would have two nail biting wins.  If you know anything about basketball teams have a really hard time winning like that three times.  So if you care about the long term it was better that they lose today than in a couple weeks.    I am not saying I am glad they loss,  but since they did,  believe it or  not  life has to go on.

I am not going to stop bugging you fanatics(I think that is nicer than being called arrogant,  We are not arragant, just spoiled with years of championships) from other teams.  I sort of thought that was what this form was about.  We don't play the games, we just voice opinions.  I'm beginning to think I catch more flack because I am not in Texas.    I have wonderful memories of my days in Texas but will never live there again,  that doesn't make me a bad person.

Question for the all knowing Ralph.

What is the format for the conference playoffs.
How many teams go,  I could figure it out from there.

I am concerned about having access to following the games.  During that time  I will be in Turkey.  If they make the big dance I will be back by then.

[Ralph Turner]

Calhsu, the top 4 teams in each division hosted by Miss College.

Only LaCollege, LeTU, UT-Tyler a provisional NCAA member, Schreiner, TLU and SRSU have been eliminated.

The ASC homepage does not lay out the bracket, or at least I haven't seen it.  We will probably go down to deep tie-breakers for this one.  The Tie-Breaker criteria (and remember read "Division" and not conference) are at the very bottom of the home page.

You might check to see if you can internet broadcasts of the game from HSU's web site.

Travel safely!

[fanstand]

Calhsu, please do travel safe, and find a way to send some posts, I won't have anyone to pick on if not. Did you put ketchup on your crow, or did you wrap it in a lettuce leaf? And who says Meia is a lock for POY, what about Tarra or Symbri? I know that article was written by HSU they couldn't stand for it to go to a Mcm player, and another thing why did the top 25 polls change today? That's usually a Monday or Tuesday thing.

[Ralph Turner]

Fanstand, which "Top 25 polls"?  D3hoops.com?  Or WBCA?
