MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[seinfeld]

Ditto my NCAC football post as response to your ditto'ed rant.

I didn't realize wondering where results are from the most recent season (08-09) qualified as a rant. I wonder what the adjective would be if I had actually ranted.

I'm familiar enough with Wooster to know that despite working on this for over a year, this is pretty much what was planned for the athletics site. What you see is what you get. There are no links to the old site.

Obviously not the end of the world. Hopefully going forward more information will for the upcoming seasons.

[Pat Coleman]

Well, you edited you original post after I read it so now I have no idea what you actually said.

[David Collinge]

The NCAC has announced today that they will conduct a national search for a new Executive Director to replace the late Dennis Collins, and that Keri Alexander Luchowski will serve in that capacity on an interim basis.  Keri has been the conference's de facto SID for the past 10 years, and was elevated to Assistant Director two years ago.  Congratulations to Keri!

Perhaps we can get two Woo-Washu games in one season!? I don't know if I could handle that, but at least I have the perfect shirt.

woowashu - 2 games in one season looks like a high probability, imo.

The Scots football squad visits St. Louis on October 17th.  The Wooster basketball team will be heavily favored to beat Kalamazoo at home in the Mose Hole first round and national champs Washu should take down Transy on a neutral floor.  So, game #2 should be a great contest in the Mose Hole championship game on December 30th.  I think the Scots will give the Bears a real challenge given that Wooster returns nearly their entire team this season.  Of course, the Bears lost only Tyler Nading with Sean Wallis returning for his 5th year.

BTW, what is the explanation behind your poster name?  Undergraduate at COW and graduate work at washu?

I have heard from a reliable source that Wooster is going to have a home exhibition game against a nearby D-I opponent, on the evening of November 7, the day of the last home football game.  It is my understanding that the proceeds will be going to a worthy cause close to the hearts of the Wooster faithful.

wooscotsfan: I am most definitely a wooster alum.  And let's just say that I've watched Wash U. play a lot of basketball--some of the players more than others.

I'll bite.  You're a Woo alum, and your son plays for WashU.

Do I win?  And what's the prize?

[woowashu]

Sorry Mr. Ypsi, you lose this round. 

Any other contestants in the "guess the identity" game?

[Marty Peretz]

I'm guessing woowashu is among the legions of Ohio hoop heads who claim some relationship to the immortal Buckeye state resident formerly known as "A.T." That would be reigning UAA POY and first team all American Aaron Thompson. The Wooster tournament serves as a sort-of homecoming game for the rising senior since his hometown of Elida is about a two hour drive to Wooster. I may be mistaken, but I believe A.T. went to camps at Wooster when he was younger. Should be a great game in Decemeber. Thinking about making the trek actually. Will the legendary Wooster fans be as good as advertised considering the lack of students on campus at that time?

[woowashu]

Ah Marty....So close.  I have indeed watched the infamous A.T. play basketball.  In fact, I cheered him on in countless Elks hoop shoot contests and watched him act as the ballboy for the Elida high school team long before he began to dominate at the college level.

Unfortunately, it is more complicated than being one of his many Northwest Ohio fans.

As far as a prize...I have a few spare Wooster Bricks lying around....

[BUBeaverFan]

Marty,
Hope to see you at the Wooster Tournament.  Wooster will be a very formidable opponent, especially at home.  If the final of the tourney pits Wash U against Wooster it could be one of the best non-conference match-ups of the year. 

Hi Woowashu!  Your secret is secure with me. I can introduce you to Marty in Wooster. Everyone have a great rest of the summer.

Looks like it can finally be announced publicly -- Wooster will play Kent St. in an exhibition game Nov. 7. This in and of itself isn't that noteworthy. But the fact that the game is at Wooster, and not Kent, is what is noteworthy. Kent St. agreed to play at Wooster, with all sales from the gate to go towards Corey Cline (not exactly sure if this is towards scholarship or what). So this is way cool. I wonder if a major Div. I school has played an exhibition at a Div. III school before?

This game should be a lot of fun, and good preparation for the Scots' tough non-conference schedule.

A much needed upgrade in Richmond....

Enjoy!

It even includes Earlham's basketball schedule...far in advance of when it usually surfaces.

Highlights include preseason tournaments in both Chicago and Memphis. Good stops.
