...despite the fact that I haven't posted hardly anything in that time and certainly nothing particularly acerbic. 

Or you delete your posts that might fall into that category.  I seem to recall seeing a certain 5 on 8 jab that is mysteriously no longer there.

I didn't delete that post...I'm big enough to stand by what I post and if I ever post something I'm sorry about I'll have the stones to post an explanation or some other kind of retraction instead of simply deleting myself.  In this case, I got censored...it isn't that big of a deal. 

You'll also recall the enormous smiley at the end of said post that mysteriously disappeared, indicating that the tongue was firmly planted in the cheek on that one.  It's ok to laugh at ourselves once in a while, folks.

^^^^^

It's just hard to figure out when you're trying to be funny ha ha or simply arrogant most of the time, that's all.  Smiley or no smiley. 

Maybe that explains why your post got deleted even with the smiley.

Hmm, OK.

I voted for UW-Stevens Point.
Midwest: Ohio Northern, Amherst, UW-Stevens Point
Great Lakes: Ohio Northern, Amherst, Amherst
East: UW-Stevens Point, Ohio Northern, UW-Stevens Point
Mid-Atlantic: UW-Stevens Point, UW-Stevens Point, Amherst
Atlantic: Ohio Northern, Ohio Northern, Ohio Northern
Northeast: Amherst, Amherst, Amherst
South: Amherst, Amherst, Ohio Northern
West: UW-Stevens Point, UW-Stevens Point, UW-Stevens Point

I found this very interesting.  Thanks for putting it up, Pat.

I just checked in here and saw all (probably not really all)  the Wabash guys talking about their karma going down on a daily basis.

After reading their posts, I found myself ROTFLMAO (laughing) when I saw that my karma had gone down again.  Being a Witt fan, I guess it must have something to do with fans of teams that start with 'W'.  I guess we will have to see if there are similar complaints from Wooster or maybe even ohioWesleyan 

I find that a good laugh puts me in a good mood that lasts a while.

Thanks for cheering me up!

It's not that hard, friend.  Look.  This is my serious face:




This is an array of my not-so-serious faces:



As long as you're not predisposed to read my posts with a certain bias, it's a pretty easy code to decipher.

A power outage in Hiram has postponed tonight's Wabash/Hiram tilt until Sunday at 2 p.m.  I'll assume that all systems are go for the game in Meadville tomorrow afternoon.

Same here.  I've posted only a few times in the 3 weeks since being home for break, yet somehow I've lost 7 points.  Oh well.  I guess it's just better not to worry about such things. 

Here's to a good Witt game against Oberlin after the struggles at Kenyon, and hoping that the lights stay on at all NCAC institutions tomorrow.

[pennstghs]

the oberlin game will not be a concern for any witt fans at all-if witt loses i will never  post on here again-yes im sure some people hope that will happen. the witt alumni face off against the JV prior to the main event-that should be a better and more entertaining matchup.

yeah the karma thing has me puzzled as i seem to go down every day and no one will tell me why.

[WillieBrown]

Yea there will be some former wittenberg greats in appearance tomorrow. In case anyone was wondering about what vegas is thinking about tomorrows games.

Wittenberg Alumni +9.5 (-110) vs. Wittenberg JV -9.5 (-110)

Oberlin +21.5 (-105) vs. Wittenberg -21.5 (-115)

Personally I think Oberlin will cover 21.5 and I like the Wittenberg Jv to cover the spread

[Pat Coleman]

I've been getting it also on virtually a daily basis for a couple of weeks now despite the fact that I haven't posted hardly anything in that time and certainly nothing particularly acerbic.  I'm no Sherlock Holmes, but I'd be surprised if this isn't related.

Including the particularly snarky post I pulled today? Hmm ... acerbic, definitely.

[Henry Steele]

Does anyone have any opinions about how far Wooster is ahead of the rest of the NCAC? Wittenberg still seems within striking distance, but the other eight teams seem light years away.

Ohio Wesleyan was supposed to be on rise, but then they lost in Meadville; the other seven teams seem to all be able to beat each other on any given day.

The league would be more interesting with more balance, and the team that eventually won the league would fare better in NCAAs, having been tested more during regular season.

No offense, Wally, but even with the smiley sometimes posts are not necessary. Why must you jab?

[ScotLass]

I put this on the NCAC football thread, but for my "Grant Pat a Wish" campaign, it fits nicely here too....

Maybe in 2007 posters could work on granting Pat one of his wishes for 2006...

From the Dec 21, 2005 Daily Dose:

"Responsible use of the karma function on the message board. I see someone who has a minus-182 karma who hasn't posted in over two months. Yet someone has apparently been smiting this person basically once a day since. Get a grip, people. Some grudges need to be let go"

At least karma isn't linked to your ability to post....shudder, shudder....
Then we'd be like some very naughty regimes who suppress those who don't think like they do......childish behavior turned dangerous

Come on! Grant Pat a wish.... 

[woosterbooster]

Pat -

I'm too lazy to search for it now, but didn't I read somewhere that there is a limit to how many times a given individual can smite another individual?  At least maybe within a certain time frame?  (Not talking about the 18-hour rule here but something else that I thought I had read.)

If this doesn't exist, it might be a good rule to implement, if it's somehow possible within the software.

[roadtrip]

Henry Steele.....IMO nobody is in Woo's class this year but in bball things can change in a hurry, an injury here, academic problem there, ego's, etc. So Woo is in charge right now and while I dont think it will change, it could.

Football has the same problem, a few strong teams and many weak teams. I definitely believe it hurts the NCAC in the NCAA's and the bids (other than the AQ) received. Not to mention preparation for tougher tournament opponents.

Lastly, What is karma? How do you get karma? How do you give karma? Does it have anything to do with a chameleon? With a Ghia?
