FB: American Rivers Conference

[dutchfan1]

Hello all!  Let me start with (insert cliche here), long time reader, first time poster.  Sorry, had to do it.  I just got around to registering on the boards after playing and coaching in the IIAC.   

I figured there aren't nearly enough Cornell people on here, so I thought I'd splash some more purple on these boards.  I haven't had a chance to get caught up on the conversations yet, but looking forward to adding my 2 cents.

Welcome aboard! We need more Cornell posters on here - Hayes needs some like-minded buddies.

doolittledog: Since Willie U will be suffering from sleep deprivation for the next few months, I don't think we will be able to take offense to anything he says.  Besides, now that he knows I have a long line of UD grads in my family tree, I think Willie thinks of me as his eccentric goofy uncle rather than a close minded, adversarial enemy.  He might not be warm and fuzzy yet, but he is coming around.  Besides, I want to keep you guys happy so we can share a brew or three at the Spartan's homecoming next fall.

Well here is my two cents OhIowa, why don't you try winnin' a game for once in your life!!    

A lot of great people on this board, others I can't say as much.

OhIowa:  Thanks for chiming in.  Perhaps you can provide some insight concerning the potential Cornell defection back to the MWC.  Is this etched in stone or is there some chance they will remain with the IIAC? We all know the Rams have taken some lumps on the football field, but other teams have had some success.  I for one would hate to see Cornell leave.

What an incredibly rude 'welcome' to a new poster, who said nothing at all controversial.

KS101, I'm sorry you're are a 'cripple' due to your football days.  That does NOT give you carte blanche to be a total pig on these boards.

I am not even an IIAC guy (CCIW), but read this board often and occasionally post.  You have gone out of your way to insult posters who have more credence than you sound like you will probably ever have.

So you're a former football player?  Big whoop - so are several other posters (including some who would probably [or did - don't know the years] have kicked your ass).  You could be Dick Butkus for all I care; you still wouldn't necessarily be more credible than anyone else (and certainly would still be an ass if you looked down your nose too much).

You're almost a stereotype in literature - the guy who is STILL living on his athletic exploits from virtually a past life.  John Updike made a whole career off you.   Grow up, Rabbit.

KS, I think you shorted me the other 1.5 cents.  On here half a day and already taking heat from this guy.  At least we are keeping things spiced up on here in the off season.

As for Cornell leaving the IIAC, I would hate to see it happen, but can understand some, and I mean a little of the reasoning.  It's obvious we have struggled for some time and have struggles ahead of us to be successful in this conference.  Is the answer to leave and join a weaker league, no.  Many of us would love to see Cornell committ to the what it takes to comepete in the IIAC.  I think a lot of the influence comes from Alumni who have their checkbooks ready to sign if this moves happens.  And I believe this money would be on top of what is raised for the current stadium renovations.  It's hard to say no to those people.  But I can understand the thought process that leaving "could" result in more wins and thus better recruiting/retention and give the football team a successful image.  As much as I disagree with the idea of leaving, I think it will happen.

Welcome OhIowa, hold on it has been rough in here for a couple of days.  I am looking forward to Wartburg playing on the new surface in Mt Vernon this fall.

Did the agreement with Mt Vernon HS go through for them to supply the lighting and then them playing their home games there?

[Purple Heys]

More Cornell is always a good thing OhIowa.

(Thought it would be best not to say anything. I have to be moving up in the D3 fan ratings with this guy on the board.)

I agree with OhIowa. I played and coached in the IIAC and don't really agree with the move to the MWC. Of course, I'm not a decision maker on the Cornell campus (or board room). I'll still support the program. I just want them to to play a full 4 quarters each game and start winning more no matter what conference their in.

Welcome, OhIowa! Always good to have another poter on here. Sorry about KnightSlayer, he's still partying like it's 1999.

"KS101, I'm sorry you're are a 'cripple' due to your football days.  That does NOT give you carte blanche to be a total pig on these boards."

Nobody took offense to him calling me a cripple. Interesting.

First off IPSY I walk with a cane that doesn't make me a cripple, I hurt my legs winning conference titles. Nuff said.

Second, football Daddy, I would have loved to have met you on the gridiron but you were probably third string.

Third, Cornell Rams, talked with Coach Mac, he is going to send our third team jv players to start for you guys, they are good for at least a couple of wins  in the IIAC 

I kid, but I think you guys are going to be alright this year, you will have that turf so you will be able to burn some rubber now!

[footballdaddy]

Thanks for your opinion.

Of course, opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one, but some smell worse than the others.

I never thought I'd see the day that a Central poster takes the title of most annoying poster away from a Wartburg poster.
