MBB: MAC Freedom League

[naismith]

Easy boys Easy...

It's not polite to kick a Monarch when he is down.

Remember,  some team on Franklin Street was down 9 with 1:30 to go against the now maligned Monarchs.

Let's be fair. I saw Baptist Bible test Wilkes. The Defenders are effective shooting outside and inside the "ARC".  They must have a 'Covenant"  that requires 120% effort  as they relentlessly attack every second of every minute.
I think BB will win a few games this year.

I am not surprised they beat Kings considering Scalzo was sat down early with fouls. The center on BB can play some ball. Very Very active.

Wilkes is a young team but experienced as most of the super sophs played minutes last year. Kings is a young team that is finding their way. I think JP will pull this group together and they will make some strides into 06.

Of course, we have to hope Gizzard isn't the talent scout because he surely missed the boat on CJ.  Automatic from the corner pocket you say???

Just got out of the big house after serving a two-year hitch and wanted to get reacquanited with some folks.
Been reading the posts the last several days and that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Examples: CJ is still a homer, WB1313 can still talk smack (I actually have a question for him), Saratoga still thinks he's a columnist and has yet to take his anger management class and Warren "Commission" Thompson believes CJ is a "knowledgeable" poster.
By the way, who is gizzard?
King's, I'm told, will get some inside relief with a 6-8 transfer coming in after the break.
And, I have a batch of new memorabilia for Jerry.

.... and Warren "Commission" Thompson believes CJ is a "knowledgeable" poster.

And till Greg Sager becomes a MAC Freedom fan -- and that'll transpire when he converts to Lutheranism  -- CJ4L remains in the top echelon of the MAC Freedom knowledge base.

Warren "Peace" Thompson, I challenge anyone on this Freedom board to match my knowledge regarding the MAC.
Remember Vojko Pesa? I believe that's how you write his name.

Naismith, thanx for grading my post you sound like a real winner.
Wb1313, ya im a Kings fan and the reason I havent been on here lately is cause the Giz actually has a life.
Warren, i appreciate all your comments they make me laugh and so does your name.  God Bless

OK. Which MAC team did Jim Valvano coach?

[cold_case]

I remember Valvano coaching at Iona and before that I believe he had a short stay at Bucknell. However, neither were MAC schools, not sure about Iona.
Unless you're referring to Him's younger brother?

[Warren Thompson]

Back in the 1970s, Jim Valvano was head coach at [then] MAC member Johns Hopkins. From there he went to Bucknell and later to Iona.

Warren "G. Harding" Thompson, you have to remember I go back to the late 1960's, not 1860's.
I don't remember him coaching JHU because teams up this way didn't play them, and I was just getting into the local college scene. Obviously you remember since it's more in your territory.
By the way, who the heck is gizzard?

Who the Heck is Gizzard?

Multiple Choice:

2) Monarch strain of the Avian Flu
3) First known case of Brian Horgan withdrawal
4) All of the above

Huh... so, it appears we're losing Drew from the MAC-Freedom in 2 seasons.  Eh, it could be worse.  My concerns are not that we lose that New Jersey diversity (can we dump FDU, too... please?).

My concern - now that we're under 8 teams, will we lose the automatic qualifier to the NCAAs?  Someone get on the phone with Lackawanna College... Now!

[Coach C]

Ok - Why are we giving Warren a hard time?

Usually only I give Warren a hard time.  i feel left out.

Coach C,

There is one guy (26 career posts) giving Warren a hard time, and also one guy (2 career posts) giving me a hard time.  I miss the days when people would give us a hard time, but it would be William Wallace or Jags.

Wilkes knocks off Lincoln, at home, in OT on Monday night.  Lincoln came in at 7-1 and #17 in the country.  A win over a ranked team is a win over a ranked team.  I'll give the squad respect for that one.  There are times when it's easy to be ColonelJohn.

My point from 2 weeks ago rings true again.  Wilkes, in years past, was notorious for giving away close games via missed free throws and bad decisions down the stretch.  On the flip side, this Wilkes squad is now 2-0 in overtime games, not counting a DeSales game decided by a buzzer-beater.  Clutch.

I thought Lincoln was ranked 23rd?

I thought Lincoln was ranked 23rd?

Lincoln was ranked 23rd in last weeks poll, the current poll has them at 17, they may drop again this week.
