Wittenberg gets a brief mention.

According to News-Sun, Mechanicsburg grad Tim Patten will attend OWU. This is a great catch for Wesleyan.

Patten is a 5'10" shooting guard that averaged 23.5 pts/game and over 41% from the 3line.
80% from the FT line.

He was named to the News-Sun All-Area first team and All-Ohio Heritage Conference first team.

Patten was recruited by Wittenberg, Ashland and Wolford College.

I think that the addition of Tim Patten should be a very nice addition to a lineup that on paper should be as good as any in the conference.  With Rybarczyk and King on the perimeter and Rudegair and Chojnacki on the inside Patten chould fit in nicely.  I just wish that they could get one more big guy to step up.  From what I hear they had a couple big bodies on the end of the bench last year.  It will be interesting to see if any of them step up this year.  Anyway, we are only five months from the start of the season.  I can't wait!

Since its been so dead in here I thought I would try and stir up some chatter.  I was just wondering if any Wooster folks have heard any news on this year's incoming class.  I have heard a couple of tidbits, but not much else.  From what I have heard there are at least 2 incoming frosh who could see PT.  I have heard there is a solid wing player out of Middletown and a nice guard out of C'bus that could be even better than Cooper.  I also heard that there are no bigs in this year's class.  That's about all I've heard so far.  If anyone else has any more to add I'd be interested to see it.

GO SCOTS

[ScotsFan]

Just wanted to say that the new site looks great and that all of the new features are pretty cool too!

GO SCOTS!!!

[smedindy]

It certainly does look cool.

[WoosterFAN]

Wow - - This is going to take some getting used to.  It does look cool.
So many features.  I can talk trash about OWU and WITT in different fonts and color.  Neat.

I cannot wait for DIII sports to get started.  Any word about OAC or NCAC football on ESPNU this year.  I have Direct TV so I am looking for OAC/NCAC on Fox Sports OHIO too. 

GO SCOTS!!

[Mr. Ypsi]

As I said elsewhere, I'm afraid this new set-up is gonna cause a flood of weirdness while we explore the new options!

WAY too many emoticons and such! 

[I plead guilty, your honor - this was SUPPOSED to be in green!!]

I give up (for now!) - I tried 'green' both before and after typing and both before and after printing - why am I not green??

[Actually, as an IWU grad I am of course green, but why can't I get my message to follow suit?!]

[Pat Coleman]

Use it like a word processor. Type your text, select it, hit your formatting choice.

[Mr. Ypsi]

I thought that was what I did - I'll try again.  Is this green?

Hurrah!  It may not be IWU green, but it will do!

Be prepared for LOTs of text like this as we all learn the new system (especially from us 'old farts'!

[Ralph Turner]

Cabonney, the old system allowed one to select the exact hue of Green, using a 6 character ASCII designation.  I was able to find an appropriate shade of Maroon for my McMurry postings.

I wonder if that is possible with this program.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Ralph,

If so, I haven't found it yet - but I'm sure there are LOTs of things I haven't found yet!

And, note: two consecutive posts with none of those addictive emoticons!!

[wooscotsfan]

I like these colors the best!  GO SCOTS!!

Pat - Nice job on the new site!

[seinfeld]

Does anyone from Quaker-land know if Markous Jewett is going to play this year? I know he transferred to Ball St. last year, but I thought he was planning on coming back to Earlham this year.

[billy_pilgrim]

will be back



(how's that for taking advantage of new technology??)



and an aside: I believe that picture to be perfectally representative of a major foul sometimes called and sometimes not called by NCAC officials. Without question, the defensive players arms are not vertical. Commonly referred to as "tenting", this should be a clear foul. However, in my years of following the NCAC, I have yet to see league-wide agreement on what exactly is vertical for a defender.

Since I won't be able to see many games in person this season, I just wanted to rant about the officiating (which I am sure will be inconsistent at best) well in advance.
