Talking smack.  Hmmmmmmm isn't that what you just did AndOne (or is it now MinusOne) like your karma ? 

[NEPAFAN]

Yes we take Karma very seriously around these parts...



how are you at 103?!??!


and Scranton women on the radio and not the men this Sat??  Dean wants a free trip to NYC?

[Leo The Lion]

King's almost beat the Lincoln juggernaut last year when they also had All-American Kyle Myrrick.  I don't know how you can justify running the score up like that.  Is it really that impressive that Lincoln can beat up some JV team? 

[Pat Coleman]

According to the article, the other team's roster included five players and the COACH who scored 24 points!

Yeah, I saw that, too.  Unless he is a student and a player/coach, shouldn't this call into question the validity of all of the records set as well as its status as a recognized victory by the NCAA? 

Some places have a student coach or player-coach.

Right - which would be fine.  I'm just wondering whether or not that is the case at OSU-Marion.

It doesn't sound like it, but I guess it doesn't say that he ever completed his degree at OSU-Marion, so maybe he is enrolled again and finishing ...

No, Wilburt, I talked the truth--something you obviously have great difficulty recognizing and handling.

And thanks for the negative Karma point. Coming from you, I take it as a compliment.

Just what I would expect from you Wil---I said something you didn't agree with---so naturally, you need to punish me by giving me a minus Karma point. Just the kind of thinking and response I would espect from a Neanderthal like you who thinks Lincoln was right on to run up the score.

Get a clue Wil, baby. Read over the various posts on the subject and you will see the vast majority of them condem the way the Lincoln coach and team handled the situation. I may have stooped a little lower than I like to go---but I had to get down to your level in hopes you would understand. Alas, I failed.

I can understand some bitterness of hard feelings that may develop, but there's no reason for juvenile name calling and insults.

It's obvious that you've never visited the MAC Freedom room before, Matt. Juvenile name-calling and insults are like oxygen in here, and it's no coincidence that this has also been one of the most entertaining rooms to read over the course of the decade since Pat created this website. To give just one example, the MAC Freedom Survivor saga of several years ago was some of the funniest stuff ever produced on Posting Up. And every last juicy bit of it was juvenile name-calling and insults.

You may not like the current piefight between wb1313 and his longtime nemesis Saratoga, but look at how harmless and innocent it appears when compared to the nasty and racially-tinged invective flying around Posting Up over the Lincoln/OSUM affair.

Why the heck do you think some of us outsiders are so peeved about Scranton leaving the fold and thus abandoning the neighborhood rivalries with Wilkes and King's? It's because it's like Curly telling Moe and Larry that he doesn't want to hang around with them anymore.

[wilburt]

I may have stooped a little lower than I like to go---

Enough said.  You proved my point!

[wb1313]

Greg, Thank you for putting a smile on my face so early in the morning!!  Curly and Moe will get along without Shemp quite well but we won't have our favorite punching bag anymore.  

The Freedom Survivor skit was absolutely amazing and I kinda wish Adam would come back and do an encore...maybe to the Amazing Race or something along those lines!  

Matt, I know that I come and go from this board based on news and if its basketball season or not.  The regular posters (ColonelJohn, Saratoga, Cold Case, Leo the Lion, NEPAFAN, etc...) are just continuing the tradition of making the board enjoyable and keeping the spirit of the rivalries.  When you have 3 schools that are seperated by no more than 20 miles (2 are seperated by 5 blocks) it makes for some good fun and spirited battles.   At the end of the day, there really are no hard feelings or ill will toward anyone on this board...well at least not on my end and I'm pretty sure for all the name-calling and pettyness that Saratoga would back me up.  

Saratoga...I love you man!!  Ok...not really...but it sounds good with the love thats resounding from this post.  

Wilburt...flat out..you and your school's basketball team are an embarrasment.  I didn't say school but you need to remember that the basketball team is a direct reflection on the school and no matter what you say you cannot deny the fact that there are ways to keep a score down.  When a team is overmatched, run the 35 second clock, don't take 3's and for the love of God stop pressing.  That's all anyone on here is saying.   I believe everyone on here would hope that the coach of their school, if put in that position, would have the class to keep the beating down to a reasonable amount of points.  I'm glad that Lincoln was able to prove how big their junk is by knocking off a non-DIII school by over a 100 pts..WHEW..way to go...I'm really not impressed!

wb1313:

wilburt's alma mater is FISK, not Lincoln,  Both universities are HBCU, and we may look/sound alike, but they are two different institutions.

[wilburt]

wb1313:

PLEASE READ (that seems to difficult for some of you all) my signature.  I am alum of FISK UNIVERSITY not LINCOLN UNIVERSITY!  Although I would be proud to call Lincoln my alma mater any day.

[NEPAFAN]

This is from another board....good to see...

They sent us a press release so I can post that:

Lincoln's official statement on this past weekend's men's basketball game

Lincoln University of Pennsylvania has a long and proud tradition of excellence in
athletic competition and firmly embraces the principle of good sportsmanship.
Accordingly, it is with much regret the demonstration in opposition to that
principle by the men's basketball coaching staff in Saturday's game against Ohio
State University-Marion. It was an anomaly.

We have reiterated to our coaching staff the university's expectations concerning
athletic competition from opening to final whistle. Like all institutions that play
on the field of athletic competition, Lincoln University's ultimate goal in a game
is to win, but for Lion teams winning must occur with fair play and good
sportsmanship in focus.

As our teams move forward to the remainder of this athletic season and into the
future, they will display the principle of good sportsmanship in all its
ramifications.

Sincerely,


Alfonso Scandrett Jr.
Director of Athletics

So I understand why the Lincoln fans are over here trying to defend their school but why is Wilburt over here then?  It seems that all he's trying to do is start fights and talk trash when he is irrelevant to this conversation.  I don't take the time to read your little love notes about your school at the bottom of your post.  Congrats on being an alum at Fist U...shhh don't tell anyone about what you and your boys do together in the dark of night!

I'm glad you're distancing yourself from Wilburt, Lincoln..he's about as quick witted as a short bus student.

What are the current records of the HBCU schools and will any other than Lincoln make the tourney?  

[wilburt]

 I don't take the time to read...

Yea I know, you didn't have to tell me. It's obvious to everyone!

A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Somebody's parent forgot to install parental controls on their computer   

Do you really want to play this game?   Kid...I don't think you're ready for the big leagues of the MAC Freedom board.
