Top 25 talk

[Mr. Ypsi]

David, the color is an excellent touch [if, as I assume you already planned, the losses are in red (or some other color), even someone as brain-damaged as I should have no trouble keeping proper count]!

[David Collinge]

No, the color is just a temporary measure for these two weeks with all of the "idle"s, to help the actual games stand out.  No color coding, and I'll go back to the regular format after the holidays, as this is a pain in the kiester.  Losses are always easy to spot, since I bold the word lost.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Understood.

Thanks for doing this, especially since scoreboard has not (yet?) been linked up with the poll.

When you color code, bold or whatever...if you take your mouse and hold the left button down, as if you were to copy, cut or paste, and then click on the bold, color code or whatever, it puts the [ b ] and [ /b ] around those words without actually having to type them.  It works a lot faster!

I am the greatest!

[David Collinge]

I am the greatest!

You are the greatest formatter, at any rate.

I can add formatting in a week like this, when there's only a handful of games per night and I'm bored.  When it gets to be 50-60 scores that I'm chasing (including NCAC games), my main goal is not to screw up my tables too badly, formatting be damned! 

But I like to try to please my devoted readers as much as possible, so we'll see what life is like in January.

[Greek Tragedy]

Your work is much appreciated.  It's easy to come here and look how the Top 25 did.  Thanks for your time!

[LogShow]

You officially qualify as a hoops junkie, LogShow. The vast majority of Americans are anxiously awaiting the joys of Christmas ... while you're anxiously awaiting the first weekend in January.

True, but are you not the same way?...don't get me wrong I love Christmas season too!

I second that comment

True, but are you not the same way?

I actually have four more D3 men's basketball games penciled into my calendar between now and the first weekend in January -- and that's in spite of the fact that I have to miss out on attending any games this coming Saturday because I have to attend a wedding.

I'm pretty shameless.

I have 8 men's, 4 women's, and 3 high school games on my schedule in that period, then three more D3 games during that first January weekend.  That will bring my season totals to 22 men's and 16 women's (and 3 HS) games.

Slacker! 

[Knightstalker]

You guys must single without young children, right?

[smedindy]

I have to chaperone a birthday party herding 15 kindergarten classmates of my daughter's at Chuckie Cheese's tomorrow. I think that trumps all.

Better you than me.  No big parties for the Stalkerette.  The wife and kid are meeting me here in NYC this evening and we are taking her to Macys to see the windows and to see Santa on her birthday.

[LogShow]

You guys are quite impressive.  I don't really get out to many games besides Puget Sound ones.  I try to catch a few of the other local colleges around the area.  Love watching Seattle Pacific play, also like to try to catch some of the NWC teams in action before conference.

I do enjoy keeping up to date on whats going on in the D3 world on this site too!

Hey, for someone confined to attending games within the reach of public transportation -- assuming that said public transportation is still up and running in the near future in the City That Used To Work -- I think I'm doing alright in the games-attended department.

I don't know if you're Catholic or not, but if you are I can guarantee you that chaperoning 15 five-year-olds for an afternoon at Chuck E. Cheese puts you on the short list for canonization.
