Man up and bring it on - wb1313!

WB , didnt Wilkes play a basketball game last night?


Do not encourage the trolls...

[wb1313]

NEPA - yes they did.  They pulled off a 1 point win against Landmark Conference destined Susquehanna to go to 3-1.  At one point they were up 18 and I think the term the Citizens' Voice used is absolutely spot on:  They survived.  Overall though it is an away win against a quality opponent so its nothing to be laughed at...not like a Baptist Bible

I take this as an unsophisticated sign of surrender from you guys!       
You know, a simple white flag would have sufficed from you fellas.

wb1313, replay this game at the end of the year and I'm not sure Wilkes survives. 

Susquehanna has a lot of new (albeit very talented) pieces to the puzzle and will be even better by the end of the season. I will say this for them, however, you can't kill 'em. Every time I thought they were done for last night, they scrapped back. Keep Majors and Robinson from fouling out at the end and who knows what may have happened?

Plus, O.W. Houts Gymnasium is really becoming an "OW House" for opponents. The long-dormant fan base is packing the gym and being LOUD. I didn't think we'd have a lot there last night, because the traditional Candlelight Service was going on at the same time, but students kept filing in.

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

Enough said.  You proved my point!

MY ENTIRE QUOTE WAS:

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. 

[wilburt]

The fact that you stooped low is enough for me, MinusOne

I just read Lincoln's statement about the game last week.
It's nice to see that the AD has apologized for the coaching staff's lack of sportsmanship.  Recognition of the problem is the first step towards correcting it.
Unfortunately, it won't help the young men who suited up for the opposing team that day.  I've heard all the defenses for what Lincoln did, at least from one person.  The AD has made it very clear that what they did was wrong and will not be allowed to happen again.  Perhaps the person posting on this site will come to their senses, realize they(he and the team) were wrong, and just SHUT UP!
I hope Lincoln can grow from this and become a more respected member of the NCAA family.  Right now they are an embarrassment in regards to what the NCAA stands for.
Good luck finding a league now.  You've done it to yourselves.

If you looked at my post on the Bumblin B's board you would realize that my primary critique of you all (which seems to have been lost upon most of you on this particular board) is HOW you criticised Lincoln and NOT that you criticised them.  A couple of people's comments, IMHO had racist overtones to it and as a result over the top and uncalled for.   I may or may not agree with you all about whether the actions of the basketball team and coach constitued as unsportsmanlike, but when the conversation quickly disintegrated into emotional rants, as if someone had just killed the Pope, then I am going to step up and voice my opinion.

As for Lincoln, they will be joining, actually rejoining the CIAA when they move up to D2 next season. The CIAA is a longstanding D2 conference that has produced several D2 Basketball National Championship teams in the past decade or so.  Lincoln will be in good company in a NCAA conference that is respected by many.

Aside from Lincoln growing from this, I hope many of you on this board will also grow from this dialogue (although I doubt it) and learn to appreciate (not necessarily agree) another's point of view without automatically reverting to childish name calling, insults and assuming facts.  In short, try to become a respected member of humanity.  I would start with reading DieHardFan's post yesterday on the Bumbling B's board.  That's a smart lady that we all can learn from.   

[wb1313]

Wilburt, you are a flamer and a troll and are being treated as such.  None of the posters here posted anything remotely close to racially charged but you tried to make those accusations to stir the pot.  If you look at activity reports you can see how many people have traveled to other pages and although there are a few, (AndOne to name one and i'm not sure if he is a regular MAC Freedom poster)  most of the regular MAC freedom posters post here and only here except at playoff time.  Congratulations on pushing the issue and thank you for continuing to take karma points off me.  I still have no idea how to give or take them/who is in charge of giving/taking them but whatever.   

People grow from intelligent dialogue, not from stupid pissiness and you coming over here trying to get others to argue with you.   If your point was to try and have others learn from some convoluded idea in your head, you sir have failed miserably!   I really hope that you are leaving now and taking your racist overtones and accusations with you.   

[wilburt]

People do grow from intelligent dialouge and that may explain your lack of growth from participating on this board.

I may be leaving for now (I have not made up my mind yet), but the racist overtones from you and likeminded folks will remain on this board for all to see. Sad so sad...

[wb1313]

What are you talking about?  Racist overtones from me?  I'm not allowed to criticize a HBCU over what 99% of America felt was out of control and unsportsmanlike.  If that is the criteria for being a racist then fine...you got me...(sarcasm)

Wilburt, your lack of knowledge and understanding astounds me and the fact that you use childish antics such as copy the first four words of a sentence to attempt a lame joke is pathetic. 

I'm beyond wanting to rip you apart through witty conversation.  The realization that i'd be going up against someone with a lower IQ than the coach at Lincoln makes me fully believe that you're not worth my time.  Goodbye!

[wilburt]

wb1313 you are incapable of ripping me up through witty conversation because you have no wit, my friend.  And what you may call witty conversation is really sophomoric mumbo jumbo that would only appeal to the typical teenager or someone with a teenage mindset.

Talk about IQ, the only type of IQ talk I want to hear from you is "I-Quit".

Face it you can't handle me...

[NEPAFAN]

Please post the "racist overtones" used in any post on this board...

[wilburt]

What happened to your previous quote? Are you changing your mind now? 

can you at least talk basketball if you are going to come into this room?
