MBB: MAC Freedom League

[phil]

Bill,
Downtown Madison is positively "collegiate", welcomes back the students from FDU, St. Elizabeth and Drew with open arms each Fall, and has a hint of an "ivy" feel to it – with its brick walkways, cherry blossoms, jazz club and top notch restaurants. Florham Park has a few second rate office parks, a McDonalds, and is as pedestrian-friendly as ... er ... oh yeah, they don't have a "downtown". As far as "collegiate" sounding ... an ex-president lost out to a "Florham"?

Maybe we should begin a petition to rename William Paterson. Mad Anthony Wayne University has a cool ring to it!

I just look forward to the day I can make the 10 minute drive from Chatham to watch TCNJ compete in a variety of regular season athletic contests against FDU Florham/Madison (how in the world you guys can't decide what town you're in I'll never know ... unless Florham Park's officials made it worth it to alter your letterhead$).

I still have to stop myself from thinking of the school as "FDU-Madison", because when the Devils first appeared in the D3 tourney back in 1990 that's what they were called.

Perhaps the next name change will be to "Fairleigh Dickinson University College at Florham of Anaheim".

Fairley Rediculous University College at Florham Park of Madison of Morristown of Morris County of New Jersey of Anaheim would be appropriate

FDU FLORHAM? Did you just take up a whole page talking about them?


Wow.

[cold_case]

It looks like the Commonwealth, Centennial and NJAC boards are shutdown.

By the way, what happened to all of the "old" posts before the sites were changed? I seem to think I posted quite a bit back then...Then I started over a few years ago at zero.....?

They have faded in Bolivian.

[Leo The Lion]

Long time, no post here for me. 

Don't know if this is the place to post this.  But Kyle Myrick of Lincoln (whom most of the MAC saw first hand) was drafted by the USBL's NEPA Breakers playing in Scranton.  Why is this significant, because two of the Breaker's other picks were Lee Melcchioni and Scranton's favorite son G-mac.

Drafted is one thing, are any actually going to play?

[ColonelJohn4Life]

I'm not myopic enough to think G-Mac is going to be a first round pick (OK, maybe by the Celtics...), but I'd think he'd at least have a shot at making an NBA roster, right?

Certainly seems like it's one thing to be drafted, and another to play...

G-Mac already said thanks but no thanks.
Doubt very much G-Mac will go 1st round. Too many underclassmen and foreign players.
Maybe a 2nd round pick.

Where in Scranton is this USBL team going to play???  Any lights on that playground...lol
I guess the Wachovia Center is too expensive??   no dates???

Heard Lincoln may be moving up to DII.....any news on that?

[Pat Coleman]

Something important like that might have a link on the front page, naismith:

They are playing at Lackawanna College. Speaking of Wachovia Center, has it ever seen a d3 college basketball game?

[naismith]

Little tardy in getting back to you....

The short answer is no...no DII or DIII hoops at the Wachovia. They did host the NCAA DIII wrestling championships just a few years ago.  Quite a few years ago, Fox Hill CC hosted the
NCAA DIII golf championship.
Now that Towson appears to want a few games.....why not a DIII, DII, DI tripleheader??
Or at least a doubleheader....

Kings, Scranton, Wilkes, Miseri, Keystone
Could be a non-conference game with anyone I would think.

I had illusions years ago that Kings-Wilkes would get together on an jt venture arena which could host a DIII Holiday festival. Sort of a Luzwerne-Lackawanna big  5 ....Still think the local schools need to utilize the arena for some hoops.

And in a non-related issue, BALCO Legend Killers is beating the tar out of Let's Go Expos in their fantasy baseball head-to-head league.

[NEPAFAN]

CC if i could give negative karma i would.



Naismith- good idea, I wonder how such an event would draw.
