Burning Question: Is this 6-7+ fella from Long Island maybe related to that College of Charleston transfer who's reportedly still looking (it's been maybe five years now, at least) for the Wilkes campus?

Nah, we're talking from 1975-76 until he was shown the door after the first semester of his junior year. The kid wasn't good on the court but as for his academics, I have no idea. I wasn't in his classes.

Any comments on how the league shakes out, after 2 league games?

Lyco looks to have lost alot with the graduation of Pribble..

DeSales is 2-0, Drew is 0-2, everyone else is 1-1. Using the always flawed, "If A beat B, then A is better" logic, DeSales already clinched the #1 seed. Observe:

DeSales wrecked King's (82-55), who beat Scranton (75-69), who beat FDU-Florham (78-70).

DeSales wrecked DelVal (85-62), who beat Wilkes (77-66), who beat Lycoming (65-49), who beat Drew (65-53).

But, then again, 3-5 Misericordia also beat DeSales AT Billera Hall (dump). Misericordia, who lost to Baptist Bible, who lost to Keystone. Whaddya say we just fold up the conference and call it a season?

One of these days we will get a team back in the Top 25...

Nepa...i'm not holding my breath on that one!

CJ..are you playing 6 degrees to a national championship? If you find a way to have Baptist Bible win the National Title this year i'll be the next 30 pack. Gotta throw that out there since I know you're hurting from Fantasy football!

Maybe not a National Title, but...

#7 Ohio Northern (at home) lost to Baldwin-Wallace 94-77.
Baldwin-Wallace lost to Alvernia 71-62.
Alvernia and Wilkes have a common opponent, Immaculata.
Wilkes beat Immaculata by 6, Alvernia beat Immaculata by 1.

Simple as that, and based on a 6 point home win over a 1-7 team, Wilkes is one of the top 10 teams in the nation. Any questions?

I have a question. Are you writing prescriptions for yourself again?

I don't want to rehash the debate, but according to this article..the OSU-Marion coach is 44 and has two years of eligability. This is who Lincoln was against...and then the coach is playing the victim in the NYtimes...

my only question is how many of those emails were from Cold Case?

cold_case · December 12, 2006, 08:59:32 PM

I didn't bother even to think about it. However, I honestly do know someone that e-mailed the Lincoln coach.

I believe half the Alvernia team was studying for finals during that game and their top two players were not there.

If thats the case, then the national title would easily be Wooster.

Warren - welcome back. To answer the question, nahh, I don't buy the whole logic above. My favorite one of those progressions, in 1991, had 1-10 Bowling Green winning the (D-1) college football National Title. But, hey, at least we have a playoff system.
