FB: Ohio Athletic Conference

[seventiesraider]

'cause this isn't the basketball board and we can make fun of John Carroll football. Not so much during basketball season.

Of course, half of basketball season is still football season at MUC.

BP-Yah think the minus K could have been the NWC??

Good thing my avatar won't confuse any newbies

Might have been NWC. Many don't like an "outside the region guy" coming onto their board and stirring the pot a bit. I just think it's more fun to have some good natured ribbing along the way. Of course I also told them I thought they were overly protective of their kids. That might have gotten the karma pencils sharpened. I don't even know how to add an avatar.

Can you change your handle when you're in here so that other posters know you're not a self-loathing MUC'er?  It could be confusing for new posters.  Thanks.

Possible alternatives:

Bloodisthickerthanwhitewater
BleedWhite(water)
UWWWW (the extra W is for "Winer")

I don't know man, I didn't even know there WAS such a thing as a self-loathing MUCer! And for the record, I don't loathe MUC at all. I like to poke fun, but i'd rather do it with MUC than a team UWW just beat by 4 TD or something. that would seem jerky to me. Always worrying about what people think of me....   

Maybe you can add a UWW picture or some sort of identifying feature to your signature line??? 

Allow me to make a suggestion....seems pretty fitting

that may make it to the "classic" status!  +k 4U

I was disappointed I couldn't find the UWWWW "Winers" logo, as I thought that would be perfect for everyone.  MUC fans could pretend it said "Whiners", while UWW folk could imagine it as "Winners".

It's copy and paste from an image search.  I hope you're kidding but I'm scared you're not.

What about something like this?

I think there IS something personal in a knowledgeable Mount fan's "dislike" for OTT.  I do understand the players thought that they need to stand up and smack Mount in the mouth to show them they aren't intimidated.....but their behavior the last few games has been a bit annoying (and believe me certain coaches and players feel the same).  I personally am more annoyed at the OTT team for the pathetic performance they put on in last year's playoffs.  It just makes the OAC look bad!  I personally believe at this moment in time that CAP would be our best second representative in the playoffs.  I agree with HSC that ONU's offense leaves a bit to be desired (although I am basing that on what I saw many weeks ago).  Maybe I will change my mind after seeing OTT this weekend, but if their defense sucks as bad as it seems........I doubt it.

RC.....now THAT is classic!

No worries, I was kidding, copy and paste notwithstanding, I liked the clarity of the logos!

It was not too long ago that both Cap and JCU did very well in the playoffs.
I agree a poor performance by Ott last year does not enhance the argument that the OAC is the nation's best conference. Whomever is the No. #2, I hope they go as far as possible and even a rematch with the Raiders at some point in the playoffs. If the D3 rankings have meaning then the OAC has positioned itself reasonably well thus far, the conference just needs to finish strong in the playoffs.

I wish both Cap and ONU the best this Saturday and hope the winner goes
far in the playoffs!

A poster from a non-OAC board stated recently that the MUC posters/fans dominated this board. That comment raises the question for those long time posters:

Where are all the posters from the other OAC schools, other than RC and a few others? Is it busy schedules, other interests or lack of interest.
As a new poster, I have read many posts before picking up my pen, and I
remember seeing posts from several other OAC posters/fans.

Also,

With a big game between Cap/ONU, I am somewhat surprized JK's pen has been silent. I am sure others know the reasons for these questions, just curious!
