Oh, that would be so, so sweet to spoil Witt's #1 ranking on their own turf.

Bring 'em to the game!

Easier said than done with 2 year old twins and a 6 month old. Needless to say, I think I would have a better chance following the game on the radio than chasing the twins around Timken.

ScotsFan, are you sure your wife is coming back from the baby shower?...by the way, what will Wooster's tuition be in 16 years?...

blindwatchmaker · January 25, 2006, 06:52:46 PM

Scots up 43-30 at the half. Missed the action as I just got tuned in. Anybody have the rundown?

David Collinge · January 25, 2006, 06:57:12 PM

Not much to tell, sounded pretty much like a yawner to me. (Then again, I'm studying contract law while listening, so that might be having an effect.) Doesn't sound like Wooster is shooting very well.

blindwatchmaker · January 25, 2006, 06:58:51 PM

Thanks DC

Contract law huh... sounds about as fun as havings ones wisdom teeth pulled

blindwatchmaker · January 25, 2006, 07:06:47 PM

Sounds like Wooster is having an off night. Sloppy play so far in the second half.

blindwatchmaker · January 25, 2006, 07:15:21 PM

Scots up 59-49 with 12+ to play.

blindwatchmaker · January 25, 2006, 07:20:47 PM

Scots starting to heat up and are now up 75-56. Vandervaart and Johnson are playing well right now- lots of steals leading to points.

Wooster is playing a more pound it inside game... not many 3's

blindwatchmaker · January 25, 2006, 07:38:25 PM

Wooster up 76-60 with 2+to play.

Wooster NOT having a good FT shotting night...

blindwatchmaker · January 25, 2006, 07:41:31 PM

Wooster wins an ugly game. 76-63

scotty · January 25, 2006, 07:46:43 PM

no such thing as an ugly win as its like sex...some is just better than others...

(If you enjoy women's basketball, don't read the following)

And now my rant.......

No broadcast for the Denison at Earlham game tonight as instead there is a Teamline broadcast of the Denison/Earlham women's game. I've kept my dark secret for too long....the truth comes out now. There is nothing in this world (war, crime, taxes) that I hate more than women's basketball. I get sick of seeing jump balls, whistles every five seconds and most of all watching mostly unskilled people ruining the game I love most. And now, on a night that I scheduled all of my activities around listening to Earlham try to continue its hot streak and move to 7-2 in league play, there is a Denison/Earlham women's game on instead.

Really, I'd love to see the radio ratings for Teamline between Earlham men's and women's games. Let me say, hardly anyone but Earlhamalum and Billy_Pilgrim ever listen to men's games......but as the lone D3Hoops.com posters for either EC men's and women's basketball, we need this coverage. I apologize for this rant and I apologize for not being able to provide any insight to a fairly important NCAC game tonight.

But I will not apologize for my hatred of women's basketball....and I go on record tonight in saying that I couldn't care less about what happens to the Earlham women's basketball team from this point on. I mainly hope they don't qualify for the NCAC tournament so that a similar such situation happens on quarterfinal night and Earlham feels compelled to broadcast a certain loss on that Tuesday.

Would be nice to follow a school like Wabash in this situation.
