MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[njlincolnlion]

Wooster Booster:

Kyle "Fase" Myrick is the real deal!, and he has a very good supporting cast.  Last year Lincoln was a "two man" team with Myrick and Jarrett Kearse.  Myrick ranks nationally in points, assists, and steals.  His backcourt mate Sami Wylie ranks nationally in 3 pointers, and Darryl White is nationally ranked in blocked shots.

[smedindy]

Lincoln's power ratings and SOS are really good. I think they are legit. I voted them really high in the Poster's Poll, because the numbers worked out - it's just that they're not in a conference at the time so the schedule is all front loaded.

[WoosterFAN]

It is not too late.  I can still get in.

Wooster by 33 over Kenyon (96-63)
Wittenberg by 30 over Denison (70-40)
OWU by 19 over Allegheny (82-63)
Wabash by 3 over Earlham  (71-68)

Second round could be very interesting with Wabash and OWU upsets down the stretch.  Of course these games will be in Wooster which favor WITT and WOO.

[DenisonFan]

Good luck to everyone!!

I am pretty sure the home teams will rule the first round.

Though I think Earlham/Wabash will be a war!!

Best to all the seniors who gave us a terrific 4 years!!

Now if we can just get the Wabash crazys to drop the "Ohio Sucks" cheer everything should be OK.

[smedindy]

A lot of us here wish the same thing, DFan.

[AndersDY]

I didn't expect it, either, but Hope and Wooster are virtually tied (two points separate them), and that's perfectly fine with me.

Perfectly fine with me too  

Of course as silly as the D3 tournament organization is, the MIAA board is having to discuss how the team which can get a #2 ranking in a national poll (though admittedly an unofficial one) is just one more last second 3 point miracle away from tournament bubble territory. Stupid but possible.

As long as I'm here, I might as well pick the games for the heck of it. Random guesses from someone who hasn't seen any NCAC teams play for a full year:

Wooster by 22
Witt by 16
OWU by 10
Wabash by 4

Here's hoping that the Scots meet Virginia Wesleyan in the tournament, judging from the photo on the front the cheerleaders could provide some nice scenery plus the game itself should be a good matchup. Good Luck tonight Scots

[ScotsFan]

Here's my picks for tonight's action:

Wooster over Kenyon by 34.  GO SCOTS!!!
Wittenberg over Denison by 26.
OWU over 'Gheny by 12.
Wabash over the EC by 5.  I predict the EC to blow yet another 2nd half lead and lose again in OT.

There was one place I forgot to mention for the bar scene in Wooster.  It is C.W. Burgerstein's or C dubs as we locals like to refer to it as.  I mentioned this one especially for penn and his roomate and any other Witt fans, because they have a version of the black & tan using Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold called a "Black & Gold" for the College of Wooster.

Now if we can just get the Wabash crazys to drop the "Ohio Sucks" cheer everything should be OK.

A lot of us here wish the same thing, DFan.

I'm not necessarily defending it but what makes that one so bad? It's not "**** on Witt" or any of the other more vulgar taunts that have been reported on this board. And it's fairly tame by what I recall being yelled out at games when I was a student.

[smedindy]

Well, for one it doesn't really MEAN anything.

For two, what if one of our players, or our top recruits, is from Ohio.

For three, it's not creative at all. Get creative, folks.

For four, no matter what was yelled when you were a student, it's imperative for Wabash men to show some class and be gentlemen.

[woosterbooster]

One of my favorites, when I first heard it and it was creative, is "Drive Home safely". 

[smedindy]

I like that one!

I remember, as a kid, the Wabash smart-asses chanted:

"Repulse them! Repulse them! Make them relinquish the spheroid!"

[earlhamalum]

Okay I will have to Give a Wabash Student some Credit. 

Senior year... i think we were down 15+ at halftime.  Billy_Pilgram was in front of me with the Old School Rebok Pumps on and this is what i heard.

Hey number 14 you need to pump up your F@cking Team. 

That was Classic!  It was hard not to crack a smile!

[woosterbooster]

When I was a kid, way back in the sixties, our high school cheerleaders were doing a forerunner of that one:

"Harrass them, harrass them, make them relinquish the ball!"

That was their only reasonably cool cheer.  The rest of them were incredibly lame.

One of my favorite chants of all-time is the one that goes "Everywere we go, people wanna know, whooo we are..."

There's a really long version of it, but I can't remember the words.  At the Ohio high school volleyball championships a few years ago, hundreds of girl students from Cincinnati's Ursuline Academy began doing chanting that one as they marched down the aisles of the Nutter Center at Wright State.  I loved it, even though Wooster was there to play them, and they stomped us.
