Yes Sir. It sure is.
As I was responding to your post, I guess I had NJ on my mind. Sorry.

Whenever I have New Jersey on my mind, I reach for the can of air freshener.

/wonders if Knightstalker is still reading this room

Now, Now Gregory, New Jersey, New Jersey is the Garden State  .

Besides The Garden State Parkway, I-80, I-78 are great scenic drives.  The New Jersey Turnpike from Exits12-13 is really the "armpit" , which I'm sure Knightstalker will agree with me.

I've been on I-80 in northern New Jersey several times, and it really is quite scenic. I also have a close friend who used to live in Princeton (his sister still lives there), and that's a nice part of the state as well. I couldn't very well let such a perfect setup for a joke about New Jersey's toxic reputation pass unused, though.

Some in NJ will tell you that fragrance just drifts across the river from New York.  

I've spent enough time on both sides of the Hudson to know that either side can accurately make that point.

Well of course not for Hope, but for most everyone else it's a great improvement.  Weren't you aware that the whole NCAA structure exists to drive the Hope faithful to depression and insanity?


It's those reserved seats... we're all just so jealous.

No, I think it's the condiments.

I didn't want to bring that up.  It's still a sore spot for many.

It is true.  The NCAA hates the state of Michigan.  Remember the 1996 D1 football championship?

[Pat Coleman]

Unfortunately, the NCAA has no say in that thing that passes for a Division I-A football championship.

They still give out those wooden trophy sort of things and they chose to give two that year.

Hoops Fan:

What do think of Lincoln's chances returning to the top 25 after two wins in Orlando, (with a win over #24 North Central) ?

The Lions return to action at the F&M Classic on Jan. 2 & 3 in Lancaster, PA.

Perhaps more to the point, how well might Lincoln do come next season in D2?

[njlincolnlion]

Warren:

Lincoln's venture into D2 won't be easy.  The Lions will be joining the tough CIAA conference with perrennial "powerhouses" Virginia Union and Bowie State.  VA Union is Charles Oakley and Ben Wallace's alma mater.  With respect to the other teams in the CIAA like VA State, St. Pauls,  Elizabeth City State, St. Augustines, etc. the Lions should be okay. 

On the good side, Lincoln has "owned" Cheyney State lately and has been on par with Salem International (winning last year and losing this year).  I feel Lincoln has built a solid foundation for D2, but it's going to take time to make it to the upper echelon of the D2 ranks.  The location of Lincoln midway between Philadelphia and Baltimore and with the connections the coaching staff has in the two cities should help.  Additionally,  Alumni in the New York and Washington DC areas have forwarded names to the coaching staff for consideration.

Virginia Union has one a couple of D2 National Championship in recent years...

Virginia Union----1980, 1992, 2005 Men's National Champions.

In the CIAA, Lincoln will travel with some very fast company. A very tough league.
