BB: WIAC: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[Just Bill]

Thanks for the update on Williams.  I wish someone would just post exactly what Koback did or said so I could move on.  I realize he transferred and came back but than what happened?  Cubs posted he was welcomed with open arms.  Maybe if I know the truth I'll be able to get over it and realize he's not good for the program.  I was impressed with Iverson last year and was amazed with his velocity for his size.  I'm assuming Van Beck will be the #4 again.  Any idea on closers for Point?  What did they bring in for transfers?

Girlfriend. Definitely.

Why can't someone just grow a pair and write exactly what happened?  This board is not private.  Hard to judge a situation when you have 30% of the facts.  Is it a situation where Point is going to turn into Oshkosh and everyone all of a sudden leaves?

Can you imagine finding out Tincher wasn't playing for Whitewater this year after having your hopes up thinking your team may win the world series and than hear on top of it he could transfer to Point or Oshkosh.  I'm just a little sick to my stomach right now.  

Yes I can imagine it.  Of course I would be disappointed.  But it wouldn't make me write off the team.  You play with who you have and you support your team regardless of who they have, whether they might have been better than they are or whether some kid decided he wanted to play somewhere else.  We've had it happen in WHITEWATER, right Dagger.  Josh Shere was another.  

If someone wants to play for another school, fine.  I sure that they have their reasons.  You simply move on.  

But keep in mind there is always the Findlandia bandwagon you can jump on.

I knew you wouldn't let me forget Finladia.  I'll always be a Pointer fan seeing I'm alum and live and work here and am active in the community.  It's just frustrating seeing all these great players leave and not hearing exact reasons why.  If a guy is an asshole and thinks he's better than the team than I wish that would just be stated on here because I have no tolerance for pre-madonna's.  You have to be pumped about Booker Stanley being on the football team!  Nothing like having 3 of the top 5 running backs in D3 on 1 team.

[badgerwarhawk]

Yes, it's nice having Booker.  He still has it going.  The really good thing about it is that we can always put a fresh set of legs in the game with no drop off one from the other.  All three are feature running backs.

They may not get a game in the WIAC within 28 points.

There are just some things that happen behind closed doors that should be kept behind those closed doors.  There is no need to put everything out there for public knowledge.  I've kept that same approach with all my posts on here, and this situation is not going to change that.

No wonder Point has so few wild pitches....  They get to play two catchers in there line-up!!

It took awhile for everyone to "move on" after Shere landed at UWO.

I'll give a nickel to anyone who tells me the Koback Situation. Yes, it's turned into a capitalized affair. We get to know about hotel Hooters girls but not this? I'm sure I'll know eventually, but this has to be good. Well, at least decent.

[badgerwarhawk]

It took this fan about 15 seconds.

I have no tolerance for pre-madonna's. 

That's would be primadonna Rusty...

pre-madonna - that must have been Madonna before she was a Debutante at the Cotillion - too funny!!  

[pickleshiner]

Nice that the Hooter's thing was brought up again.  I spoke to a former player who was involved in that mess at a game last year and almost pissed myself laughing. 

[Dagger]

Couple of things...I for one am also a firm believer that certain bits of information are best left between those that experienced the exchange, and if they want everyone to know then they can tell you about it.  As you could probably tell by my last post it was not handled how it should have been, and I'll leave it at that.  He was welcomed back with open arms when he first returned to point after trying out MATC for a week...

...secondly I didn't so much voluntarily leave UWW to head to point as all the other in-conference transfers had done in the past, my situation was a little different.  I was expecting to play out my career as a warhawk, but I'm glad that I got the opportunity to come to point and I will forever consider myself a POINTER!

He took a greyshirt or whatever you want to call it., but he is entering his Junior year of college.  Doesn't that make him draft eligible?

You can't take a grey-shirt when you practice with the team all season, much less play in eight games as was the case for Koback last season.  I'm sure he applied for a medical hardship and more than likely received it.

As far as being draft eligible, that would be correct.  He would be eligible for the 2011 MLB Amateur draft, since this is his thrid college season.

My point was that transferring to MATC didn't make him draft eligible any faster.
