Midnight Madness in less than a week!
I expect a full report.

HAha...will probably sound like this......took a shower at 9pm. Watched some TV. Thought about Midnight Madness....got tired, went to bed. Got up Saturday morning and tried to find a story on dailypress.com.

LOL!!!!

Midnight Madness was always one of my favorites of the season. New faces, totally unstructured play, the roar of the crowd... lots of fun. Don't understand why you aren't totally excited. Wish I were there to see it this year. Wait a minute... NO I DON'T! I went snorkeling this morning after my mango breakfast and right now I'm looking at the most perfect 23 year old brown female skin you have ever seen lounging by my pool. YOU go to MM and give me a report... I think I will stay here.

Attended my first Midnight Madness at CNU. It was interesting. Some parts were very good, others were a little boring. But if you were a CNU student it was a fun night. It is geared for the students and that's the way it should be. If the same number of students came out to the games, average attendance would be 2,500 or more. Freeman Center was packed and most were students. If any students are reading this - get your classmates to go to the games even though at the games they're not giving away free Buffalo Wild Wings or Chik-Fil-A for a year.

Didn't see any hoops skills.....so there's not anything I can say about what I think about the team. Looks like some nice surprises - but I want to wait until the roster is published and the season starts. I'd like to see some of those guys in action....looks like a fun and interesting year ahead beginning Nov 15th.

the monarch roster is up...you'll note the absence of marcus connor, who left for the "greener" pastures of st. andrews college (a school which may lose its accreditation in the very near future) and a d2 scholarship...how will the monarchs ever replace his scoring

obviously, it's going to be a different monarch team defensively, but i'm hearing good things about the potential and i'll be willing to bet the monarchs don't finish last as they're predicted in the coaches poll

as usual, really tough schedule

Is that the guy who was 6'11" and 98 lbs?

I still haven't seen the CNU roster. How can there be a poll when the coaches haven't seen the newcomers for the opposing teams? Has the CNU SID dropped the ball on this and simply not gotten around to posting the roster?

nope. season doesn't start until November 15th. Might as well wait to see who is around by then. In d3 ya never know. Last year (or maybe year before) CNU had a guy on the cover of the game day magazine who quit the team..the game day was out for a few weeks before the new ones came out.
Plus, you know CJ doesn't ant people to know what he has until the last minute. I think it's a good thing. -

Oh - one more thing....another Captain is in the family. My baby girl is transferring from JMU in January.

Baby? Well, it is nice that she came to her senses and enrolled in a good school.

seems like her senses are still a bit fogged over

i know you're happy, 85...mine are 6 and 4 and right now i'm hoping they both decide to stay close (they both say they'll be monarchs, at the moment, but a lot can change over the next 11 years...of course, neither is really sure what college is other than that place where we go to watch sports

)

the monarchs had their version of midnight madness last night (hoopla frenzy, as it's called) - looks like there was little hoops and lots of entertainment, but the students had fun and that's all that matters - check out the moves on the men's and women's players as they performed a choreographed dance to "thriller" - if those dance moves translate on the court, the monarchs should be alright

wow...6 and 4.....mine will soon be 21 and 19. I remember 6 and 4 very clearly. That was the year I graduated from W&M.....in some ways it seems like yesterday and in some ways it feels like such a long time ago....1995....wow....

Let's see... Randolph Macon has already played a game (and national press here on this site) and the Captains haven't even managed to get their roster on their website? Someone is asleep at the wheel. Either that or they just don't care what the fans think. Come on Wayne, or Francis, or Dave, or whoever is in charge... let the season begin!

It's planned that way!!! A secret!

the monarchs got hammered pretty good by athletes in action tonight...didn't see the game, but read the game story/box score - 2 monarchs that came highly touted didn't play and are struggling with some injuries - not sure what losing badly in an exhibition game means, though...

Narch - just saw your post on the football board about the directions to Ferrum.......

Hey Narch! Any chance you are coming over to Maryville on the 15th? There is a lot of optimism here for the Scots this year, but then again there always is before the season starts....
