BB: ODAC: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[allsky7]

Thanks for that.

I've heard other reasons for how Wagner wound up at Ferrum, so the arm thing may very well have been before he got there.

I'm sure one of the reasons wasn't the nightlife or social life in Rocky Mount, VA. That place has a Kroger and an Applebees and that's about it. Oh yeah and some cows and hills. It's a visually alright place but if you want to go do something it's not your cup of tea.

       Depends on what your idea of night life is.  I had a blast there from 81-83. We Virginia country boys are good at making our own fun. Campfire, swimming, and a few brews out at Philpott Lake, The House Restaurant, poker night, and perhaps a few other things I won't mention. 
       Rocky Mount is big time now. They have Lowes, Wal Mart, Sheetz, Applebees, and Papa John's. What more could you possibly need? Spoiled kids!!

     Just curious.....anyone have any thoughts on the Bridgewater St. 57 to 1 win over Newbury? As a former coach and player, I have been on the short end and long end of some lopsided games. Fortunately, nothing of that magnitude. I never like to lose but if you are around the game long enough, most likely it will happen on occasion. Aside from that dislike of losing, I never really had a problem as a player or coach as long as the opposing coach used it as an opportunity to get all his players some PT. It's also a good opportunity for the team on the losing end to do the same. The bench guys come to practice every day. I say let them play.  8)

Looks like the Bridgewater St. coach needs a lesson in sportsmanship.

     I haven't read the entire article on the game. What did he do that was poor sportmanship?

I have never posted on a baseball board before as I usually focus on basketball but after ripping Lincoln college for winning  a basketball game 201-57 or something like that I feel the need to rip Bridgewater for running up the score unnecessarily. What does a team really accomplish by winning a game like that? Honestly, in baseball you can end the game by telling your players to take strikes and just end the game once you are up 25-1. After that it is nothing more than batting practice and you are just as likely to get someone hurt as anything.

 Running up a score like that is ridiculous. If he left starters in so they had 6-8 at bats he should be ashamed of himself.His administration should do something to him!
