MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

Will you be there Wally?  Perhaps that may influence my decision as to whether or not to attend...

The last thing I'm going to say on this subject is this: I don't think anyone was really too bothered by the "alleged" antics of the Wabash broadcasters at the Wooster game.  If they had been upset about it, someone would have mentioned it back then and not waited more than two weeks to bring it up.  No, what bothers people is the double standard that Wally is attempting to apply here.  He criticizes something associated from Wooster, gets shown that something from Wabash was as bad or worse, and suddenly it's double-standard time.  Again.

Kudos and karma to David, ScotsFan and pennstghs for all pointing out Wally's double standard posting behavior.  I have a lot of respect for Mac Petty and the Wabash program but no respect for some of Wally's posts which have been inaccurate criticisms of Wooster's program/fans.  Wally - Wooster fans don't get "riled up" when an opponent wins in Timken.

As for Friday's games, Wabash vs. Witt should be a great game as both teams likely need the victory to keep their seasons alive.  Wabash deserves a pool C bid even if they lose IMO but it is not a sure thing if other highly ranked teams miss their automatic bids.  Great point by pennstghs that Wooster could get upset by Ohio Wesleyan.  The Bishops have played well recently and Wooster sleepwalked through their Allegheny win on Tueday.  Coach Moore lamented all their turnovers on the post game show and their shooting was poor in the second half.  It is also very difficult to beat the same team 3 times in one season so Wooster better raise their game to avoid the upset by the Bishops.

GO SCOTS!

Unfortunately not...I'll be watching from home this weekend.  I'd love to be there though as I do think that we're in for three great basketball games regardless of outcomes.

My experience is that the preponderance of Wooster fans don't get riled up for any reason, unless Wittenberg is in the house.

Oh, and  thanks for the spelling lesson.  Much appreciated?!   My life is complete now that I know the proper spelling of ridiculous.  Which is pretty much how I feel about your response BTW...   Uh oh.  I hope the newly self appointed grammar police isn't going to be critical of me for not spelling out b-y  t-h-e  w-a-y???    Oh, the horror???   

Dear ScotsFan,

GoRed wasn't the grammar police. He was the spelling police.

Sincerely,

The definition police

Duly noted.  At least I wasn't mistaking pre-season games with non-conference games eh?      

That would call down the pedantry division of the definition police upon your head, of which I am the chief constable.

But who are the Dream Police?

Dunno, but I do know that they don't get paid to take vacations, or let me alone.

I thought it was noted that Wooster fans don't attend the first game of doubleheaders, thus getting jammed out of three extra bucks.  Did we change our minds about that? 

Uh ... no leprechauns holding roasted turkeys on the end of a stick allowed?

That part's allowed, but you can't hold a knife behind your back in the process.

Ah ... yes, now that I look at it more closely I can see the knife.

So, it's, "No knife-wielding leprechauns holding roasted turkeys on the end of a stick allowed," right?



If you don't have a metal detectior, don't invite this guy over for Thanksgiving dinner!

This here's a special leprechaun flute that's been passed down from thousands of years ago by my great-great-grandfather, who's Irish.

I just came to help out.

Only in Alabama!

You said "The Knife"??

Stand up and fight, for you know we are right
We must strike at the lies
That have spread like disease through our minds.
Soon we'll have power, every soldier will rest
And we'll spread out our kindness
To all who our love now deserve.
Some of you are going to die -
Martyrs of course to the freedom that I shall provide.

Gone be some good games this weekend.

Add in the distinct possiblity that we could be seeing some significant snowfall moving into the area starting early tomorrow morning and falling heavily throughout the early afternoon hours.  I read one forecast said that there is the possiblity of seeing 2 inches per hour from 5 am to 10 am.  If that is the case, we could be looking at quite a mess for tomorrow night's games.  The quesion will be, just how bad will it get and how early will it hit.  The earlier the better as it should give road crews the chance to get the roads cleared by the evening rush.  Should is the key word here.  Hopefully the road crews here in Wooster will be more ahead of this storm than they were by the one we got hammerred with on Monday.  I can't remember seeing so many cars just stranded in the middle of roads in Wooster as I did Monday evening.  I'm not talking about cars in ditches or cars that slipped off the road.  I'm talking about cars that became stuck in the middle of roads and were abandoned because there were no salt trucks to be found plowing or salting the streets?  I'm hoping Wooster's road crews learned from their mistakes of Monday and will be ready for this storm ahead of time tomorrow?!  Although, I'm not going to be holding my breath... 

It's a mess in Wooster this morning.  My compact car was scraping snow with the undercarriage on the way to work, with 5" on the ground and even major roads largely untreated.  My guess is that it will be better by day's end, but will Wabash be able to get here?

At the risk of resurrecting the resurgence of unwarrented Wooster attacks on Wally .... isn't it a policy (I think even stated somewhere ... couched of course in language of the "display of good sportsmanship" et. al.) by the NCAC correctness police to banish booing or any sort of negative references to referees or the other team?  I seem to remember their concern lest Chadwick Court become too boistrous and ... heavans forbid ... negative in any way toward referee authority or the other team.

If this is in fact the case ... isn't booing by paid or "career" announcers for one team against referee authority or the other team twice as bad?

I am having fun with this .... boo away and cheer on.  Whoever you are.  Stand on your chairs Little Giants and support us.  Woo boo-birds, do the same.  And whatever you do, do not hide out in Illinois until you get your way.

GO WABASH !!
