I'm only supporting my team and I should have the right to do it my way.

I've dealt with the Central chatter for too long without letting it bother me.

And yes, thats why I made the comment that I will eat the crow, probably at the end of the year.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the season

ShowMe, I'm always glad to see excitement for other teams.  I'm not sure I expect Cornell to be the team with the biggest gain this year, but your excitement is fine by me. 

We agree on the Central chatter too, it hasn't bothered me either!     

In fact, if you have to eat crow at the end of the season, I will throw in some Dutch letters for dessert.  Actually, why eat crow at all.  We could come up with a school specific version of crow for each school.  Dutch letters make sense for Central.  What do you other schools have to offer?  Extra points if you can work your team's nickname into it without too much of a stretch.  Ours was easy. 

Good idea,

Ram fans, what do you think about Ram Lamb Chops?

Actually Dutch Letters are a pastry...so I would suggest Rams' Horns

You could have creme horns for the Rams.  A great pastry.

I'd go with the Body of Christ for Loras, but that might be a little sacrilegious....

Brats and beer are a homecoming favorite at Wartburg, but a Caf favorite (OK, not really) in my 4 years was the Wartburger. Probably had it every other week. Sounds appetizing doesn't it.
I may have to change my allegiance to BV.

In 3 hours and 19 minutes your wife will be at her due date!!!

Are the coaches you work with pressuring you to have that baby pronto...so you don't miss any of the season???

Hey, lights are on at Chalmers Field for anybody on right now... http://www.dbq.edu/ChlapatyCenter/webcams/Chlapatycamera.cfm

I guess the webcam that updates every 10 seconds might have to do if we don't end up with video webcasts this season!!!

For the entertainment, I will eat all the crow!

If I didn't find your doe-eyed devotion adorable (in a chubby-cheek baby sort of way) I would tell you to grab a fork....

ShowMe, I want to be clear -- I'm not bagging on you. I get that you are excited about the season. It's cool that you have such high expectation and hopes for your team. OK, we've got that -- no one is actively bashing the Rams, though, so this over-the-top Cornell love-fest that you are trying to have on the board is a bit much, even for me. Good luck this season -- I really hope that you are singing the same tune at the end of the season like a true fan.

I understand how you feel and appreciated the feedback.

ShowMe....Bring something else to the board other than Cornell propoganda.  I mean come on, you can at least chime in on another topic.  Hearing day after day about how Cornell is going to suprise everyone is getting a bit much.  I am already on record saying that I think Cornell could be the suprise team this year.  I really hope they have great success, it will only make the conference strong.  In regards you putting up with Central talk....no one forced you to read this board.  I am not a Central backer, but they have a proven track record.  I joined the board in order to have more people backing the Beavers.  Give the unadulterated love a rest and let the season's results call the shots.

Like count toilets or somthin'

[5 Words or Less]

When I get to thinking about it. 63 seems kind of low when you consider all the different locker rooms, public restrooms, and private coach's crappers.

No disrepect intended, but ...

Facility		Toilets
Chlapaty Center		44
The W		63

Just seems like a lot

Private Coaches Crappers?  Are you serious?

The W has 5 PCC's, Chlapaty Center 2 PCC's

i'm just going to go out there and say that yes, cornel could be a suprise team, but i honestly don't see them winning a game again.

Well lets take a vote then.  If Cornell is the surprise team of the IIAC and they don't win an IIAC game this year and go 0-8 in the conference again that would be a surprise would it not.  I mean three seasons without a conference win.  So that being said how many here vote that showme does not have to eat crow.

For some reason that got a chuckle out of me this morning. +k to a Coe fan. What is the world coming to?

Cornell
O conference wins - No Surprise
1 conference win - No Surprise
2 or more conference wins - Surprise

I agree it makes the conference appear better if there is NOT a team that goes winless in conference.

[doolittledog]

The great thing is...we will soon find out how all these story lines play out!!!

Coming of two years of 0 wins in the conference I think any win would be a big surprise...with how competitive the rest of the conference is I really don't know if I see a game that Cornell wins. There is something to say about knowing how to win, when it comes down to a close game your revert back to your past experiences...what will Cornell look at?...one conference win is definitely a step for the program. Every long journey has to start with one step...

Dubuque went 1-7 in 2005...then went 5-3 in 2006.  Including winning 3 nailbiters to end the season.  Close wins against BV, Simpson and then an OT win @ Wartburg. 

So, maybe this year Cornell goes 1-7  but plays everyone tough.  Then for Heys Jr's senior year the Rams really step it up.  Who knows.  With all the coaching turnover in the conference it is hard to tell how things will shake out.  I could see Cornell going 1-7...I also wouldn't be stunned to see them go 4-4...with a win over a top 4 conference team!!!

This season seems to have more question marks than most seasons.
