Good luck to the Marlins and the Eagles today.  No matter which team wins, I hope you continue to do well in the postseason!

[Matt Barnhart (kid)]

Congrats to the Marlins!!  Hopefully the Eagles get an at-large.

Looks like their extremely tough non-conference schedule to start the season helped the Marlins down the road.  Baker and Rivera will definitely carry them in the South Region tournament.

I agree, congratulations to VWC!  I also hope BC gets a bid - they deserve it.

Well, the only other thing I have to cheer for until September is GC Quaker Golf - here's hoping they do well in Lincoln next week at the NCAA tournament!

BC needs to sweep this Doubleheader to try and get an at large NCAA bid.

Quaker golf is a lot of fun to follow.  Good luck to 'em.

Thanks, jacketlawyer.  Jack Jensen has certainly built a winning Quaker golf program.  There will be a lot of strong teams in Lincoln, NE next week, but Guilford will undoubtedly be one of the favorites.  By the way, of Guilford's five national championships, Coach Jensen was the head coach for four of them (three men's golf and one men's basketball).   He's already in several HoFs, but GC may have to create a special category just for him!  lol  He's a good man in all ways.

Sounds like Guilford's version of Bill Shellenberger! In case you don't know, he was at once the winningest soccer coach of all NCAA levels, even made it on the cover of sports illustrated, and was a great golf coach back in the day, just take a look at the all-time odac championships thing on the odac website and see how many ODAC titles and coach of the year awards he won! I don't follow ODAC gold, but it sure does seem like Jensen is in a class all by himself!

I tallied up the points for the 2005-06 Commissioner's Cup final standings.

Here are the unofficial men's results:

1 - Washington & Lee, 55.5
2 - Bridgewater, 54.0
3 - Hampden-Sydney, 48.5
4 - Virginia Wesleyan, 46.0
5 - Roanoke, 45.0
6 - Lynchburg, 42.0
7 - Guilford, 31.0
7 - Randolph-Macon, 31.0
9 - Eastern Mennonite, 25.5
10 - Emory & Henry, 16.5
11 - Catholic, 2.0

W&L is the only ODAC school with all 10 men's sports.  BC has no men's lax, while VWC, RC and LC have no football.  The other six ODAC schools field eight or less sports.

Are there any discussions for VWC, EMU, RC or LC to add football?

Not that I know of.  Must be either a financial reason or Title IX issue.

I know for a fact that BC doesn't have men's lacrosse or wrestling because of Title IX.

Do those schools not need the male enrollment to balance the ratio?

Supposedly one of the early president for LC (Josephus Hopwood) put in the school charter that we could never again have football. I don't know if it's true. but that's what i've heard. Plus, we don't ahve the facilities for football and it costs too much.
