MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[gatorgrl]

Gatorgrl here.  I know a small bit about about what's going on with the Gators -- enough to know that, yes, in a previous life Coach Clune was indeed a stand-up comic in New York City.  He claims that's as hard a job as he's ever had.

Psst...Gatorgrl....come join us over on the NCAC board.  We're desparately looking for some input from Allegheny fans!

Greg has always been Wally Wabash - during the board transition he smooshed his user names together (like I did!)

[Li'l Giant]

And let's not even mention DC. He's had more name changes than Mellencamp.

As long as he sticks to name changes, I'm fine with him. ;-)

Whatever happened to MemphisDave?  He used to post alot.

Gatorgrl here.  Having been a two-sport Gator athlete, albeit pre-Title IX, I still have some connections at Allegheny.  Wanna know anything besides the fact that indeed, Rob Clune WAS a stand-up comic in the 80s?

Billy,

My distaste for PSU began in '94 when they won their 1st Big TEN title.  You would have sworn that PSU was on the verge of taking over the Big TEN?!  OOPS!  Sorry it only took ELEVEN years to get Big TEN title #2!  You would think the long layoff between titles might have humbled some of the PSU fans, but no, it's like '94 all over again.   Congrats to PSU.  I guess a Big TEN title a decade is really something to be proud of.  Too bad it's also almost been a decade since you've beaten Michigan!  

BTW, Northwestern had won more Big TEN titles than PSU during the Nitany Lions drought.  How's them eggs?

I must've come around here too late for MemphisDave.  I only remember Memphis...

[CentralOH]

You shouldn't be so hard on Penn State fans.  Years of independent status and being the biggest and baddest program in the east allowed them to gain a false sense of superiority.  Joining the Big Ten has been good for them - they've come to understand their true place in the world.  We only have to put up with their arrogance once each decade... that's not much of a price to pay for a sure W most years.

[David Collinge]

Memphis hasn't been around in a long, long time.  He was last seen with Dennis Prikkel, of all people.  His passing, if indeed he has passed, went largely unnoticed and unmourned.

Witt people are being defensive.  Their reasons for their limited participation on this forum; that they read what we write but chose not to "chime" in does not hold water.  Who does that?  Even in the face of all that is said about their program, both the good and the bad, they choose to stand by the sidelines and watch.  I don't know of any Tigers who does that.  Where is your fighting spirit?  Where is your competitiveness?  You'd rather we argue for and against you while you chose not to defend or support your stance.  Ohh please!

Fighting spirit??  Competitiveness??  This is a message board.  To go a step further, it is a message board that is largely comprised of SID/statistician types who analyze a lot of stats and exchange banter, which is what a sports related board typically is.  It is a TERRIFIC resource for D3 info, but it cannot be taken so seriously.  Case in point:  one Sunday morning I happened to catch the D3 football playoff selection show on ESPN2/ESPNnews featuring Pat Coleman (my introduction to this site).  For crying out loud, he mispronounced 'Monon Bell', one of the most intense and famous rivalries in all of college athletics.  To me, that put this board in perspective.

[Coshocton Giant]

Been gone. Past post mentioned 12 consecutive technicals... could have been incorrect uniform numbers in the score book. I saw something short of that in a high school game once.

[wally_wabash]

Oh relax.  I was on campus for a good two months before I finally started saying "Monon" correctly.  We're not all native Hoosiers, you know. 

What kind of perspective do you get from the fact that the publisher of this website is asked to come onto the Worldwide Leader and discuss the championship bracket?  ESPN has a ton of top notch college sports analysts, a ton of top notch researchers to aid said analysts, yet Pat Coleman is their best option for D-III championship bracket analysis.  I think THAT puts this site in a completely different perspective. 

[smedindy]

I bet those 12 techs were a uniform violation of some sort. Now, I recall that in a high school JV game they started with five technicals because of a uniform mixup, but the visiting team was allowed to correct the book on the players who haven't played yet. In college, I don't know if that's an option.
