MBB: MAC Freedom League

[cold_case]

phil, like the groundhog phil?
First of all, if your reading comprehension wasn't so poor, you'd notice I wasn't the one that mentioned the word "loophole."
Secondly, a buddy of mine graduated from Trenton State and he told me some of the students called Grant "machine gun," so I thought that's what everyone called him.
And of course some players have to graduate. I just wondered about the overall graduation rate, that's all.

Thank you knightstalker.


Too much Jersey talk!

knightcrawler,
When teams need to find loopholes to win a title, it shows how desperate they are.
I'd love to know how many of those players graduated? Or, to give them the benefit of the doubt, how many actually saw the inside of a classroom?

Yup, that couldn't have been you.

So now you have the facts. Two graduations and one shooting death.

[Knightstalker]

Actually he was stabbed with a broken bottle while trying to defend a friend that was being attacked.  I got to know Roscoe after he left Rowan, he came back to Jersey City and was working as a security guard at a Walgreens when he died.  He was one of the nicest and gentlest people I have known, but most people his size that I have met were gentle.  More than the coach at Rowan I blame the coaches at St. Joes where he attended who let him drift for four years as long as he could help them but they did nothing to really help him.  The problem with most of D-I in a nutshell.

[cold_case]

A whole squad, must be coal dust math when three equals five.  And only two were starters.  It counts, they did everything within the rules.  The NCAA amended the rules afterwards but it is a legitimate title.  I am also fairly sure they are not the only team to take advantage of a loophole in the rules to win.  A loophole that was later closed when discovered.

That's right phil, it couldn't have been me.

knightstalker,
Wait until you hear this. I went to the source to find out what Donny Drunk is doing now. Are you ready? He runs a beer distributorship in upstate NY.
Can you say "FITTING?"

[Knightstalker]

As long as he doesn't sample the product too much.  Then again you wouldn't want to sell a beer that you haven't tried.  It really is a catch-22.

Knightstalker,

So, it was only a loophole.  The larger point is that your pictured caveman doesn't have the roast duck, he doesn't order anything. )

Show of hands, who had VA Wesleyan in their D3 Pick'Em Final Four?  Anyone?  Anyone?  Just the Wilkes homer?  Okay, then...

Is it possible that I'm a Southern Maine win away from placing in D3 Women's Pick'em??  Okay, didn't think so.  Just glad that I could, once again, place the safest best in sports:  Lady Royals get to the Final Four and GAKKK once they arrive.  That 1985 UofS Title is quickly looking like a Jack Kemp AFL title to the Buffalo Bills...

[Knightstalker]

CJ, the larger point is the Caveman on the left orders the Roast Duck with Mango Salsa, he is the one with sunglasses on the forhead.  The other caveman doesn't have much of an appetite.

CJ,
Are you saying it's so easy to figure out that a caveman could do it?

[Warren Thompson]

Golly gee. I'd hate to see the acerbic vitriol from some MAC posters if we open the next athletic calendar year with TCNJ as a member.

There'd be no "acerbic vitriol" from this MAC poster if that would come to be. In fact, I'd be happy to have the Lions ....

[phil]

I've learned enough over the last few weeks to know that its just a matter of whether the MAC would vote them in – which isn't exactly a slam dunk.

[Warren Thompson]

Agreed, no "slam dunk," but I gather there's some evident sympathy for TCNJ to come over.

[phil]

It will make for an interesting summer of posting as we watch the future of the MAC (and the NJAC) play itself out!

That it will ....

CC,

Nope,

Didn't have Winthrop but I did have Montana in the first round and, of course, Bucknell.
Also had NC State, Alabama and Texas A&M...(yeah yeah..I figured the Orange had to have a let down plus I was impressed with A&M in the games I saw them play). Want to break a zone. Get a copy of that game tape and watch it over and over and over again. They made mincemeat out of the Syracuse zone.

And NEPA, G-Mac has to apologize to no one. What a great career!

CC, re the local newspapers----

The story is that McClatchey, who bought Knight Ridder (or is the process of buying) is putting the Times Leader up for sale.
I had heard a Scranton publisher was going to buy the Leader and close it.

Vegas has you as the buyer at 1-9
The Lynett's are 1,000,000-1 shots.

My $1 is down.

I think you should call Uncle Louie and wrap this thing up.
You can be sports editor and I'll cover horse racing with Van Rose and D3 hoops with CJ and Saratoga.

By the way, can you believe a Rickrode disciple won the whole enchilada.
Coach Dave Macedo, a hearty NEPA congrats!!
