MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[David Collinge]

Everything looks great, and I'm sure the site will run much more smoothly now.  Congratulations, Pat.  I only hope I'll be able to figure out how to useit before basketball season begins.     I guess if other chronologically-gifted posters like Ralph and Chuck (who even seems to have changed his posting name!) can figure it out, maybe I have a shot too.

I have to know what the little left-marching "<-M" is...it does this...hmmm, that's an interesting effect.

[Ralph Turner]

Hello, David!  Happy off-season!

Only 49 days to Midnight Madness!

I gave you a "Karma"!

The only thing that I have not figured out is how to obtain a  scan of the recent postings like we had on the old board, "Last Day" or "Last Week" that was on the left sidebar, so I could find what subjects and which posters such as you, Sager, Mr Ypsi, and Marco, et al.,  had responded.

[David Collinge]

A quick question: is everything just going to be a reply to one long-ago original post titled "NCAC?"  "Reply" seems to be the only posting action, at least for the techno-un-savvy like me. 

I do like having the "BBC tags."  We don't get the BBC on our local cable TV, so maybe if I click the right "BBC tag" I can finally watch The Office? 

[Warren Thompson]

DC:

My suggestion, if you want the real BBC, move to the UK  ; I still miss the BBC coverage of rugby and soccer games (along with DAD'S ARMY) in 1973-74 when we spent a year at the University of Durham.

[Mr. Ypsi]

David,

"Chronologically gifted", eh?  I resemble that remark!

I've been trying to figure out the 'return' policy on the gift, but so far no success.

As to the name change, when both Pat and sac told me that was my new moniker, who am I to argue?!

Who will win the regular season title in the NCAC in 2005-06?

And it works - and thanks for including Wabash in what really should be a two-man poll.

The Wooster Daily Record reports today that the Scots have 6 frosh on the preseason tryout roster:
Marty Bidwell (6'3", Middletown Fenwick H.S.)
Brandon Johnson (6'1", Groveport Madison H.S.)
Jay Nemeyer (6'6", Washington D.C., high school not mentioned)
Sam Dumpe (6'3", Beaver [Pa.] H.S.)
Jerrin Brindley (6'5", Urichsville Claymont H.S.)
Kevin Vargo (6'3", Gates Mills Hawken H.S.)

Bidwell was all-state in football and basketball, and reportedly turned down D1 gridiron offers.  The paper says he plays wing, although I wonder if that will change, given that he is just 6'3".

Johnson is a guard that the article says was recruited by "numerous other Ohio colleges."

The other four players are not discussed.  If anyone has information on any of these players, please don't hesitate to share.

Good Luck to the 2005-2006 Earlham's Basketball Team this upcoming season... I'll get a chance to play with them tonight and tomorrow... hopefully they take it easy on me.

This new format is really cool.  Great work.  Currently we are only about six weeks away from the official start of practice.  I look forward to another great season of NCAC basketball.  On a little side not....am I the only one that does not care at all what the Earlham Basketball alumni are doing?

[ScotsFan]

DC, I've heard some good things about Johnson and Bidwell.  Johnson is supposedly a very nice PG.  I would imagine he will be sharing time with Witucky as he is groomed to take over PG duties next year.  Don't have any of his stats from HS, but Bidwell averavged just under 20 ppg his senior year.  He must be a good athlete to be All-State in both football and basketball.  Overall, it might not be the biggest class, but it seems to be a quality class, and I will always take quality over quantity!

[earlhamalum]

hey Bishopfan...  i want to grow up and be just like you.

[David Collinge]

I've managed to account for the people I was closest to.  Some of my acquaintances and former colleagues are still among the missing.  It's been a tremendously stressful week, watching this unfold from afar.  I wish I had something to offer besides marginal legal skills.  I simply can't imagine what it's like to be there, either as a victim or as a rescuer.   

Best of luck to you, FAN.
