"A few years ago" (specifically in the '03-'04 season) Wooster lost to both Cap and JCU at Timken (the latter ending Wooster's season in the second round of the dance).  I'm sure that these events are totally unrelated to the current discussion.   :'(

Yeah, what the hell does that have to do with subs vs. sandwiches? Let's keep it on topic, Wally.

Now what about hoagies and grinders? Where do they fit in on the Venn diagram? Or wraps? And are burritos or gyros technically sandwiches?

Nachos anyone?

There was a case fairly recently where a sub sandwich shop (Quiznos, I think) sued the management company of the strip-mall they were in because the management rented a space to a burrito shop. Quiznos said it violated their lease provision where Quiznos was guaranteed to be the only "sandwich" shop in the shopping center. The Supreme Court (of which state, I don't recall) ruled that a burrito is not a sandwich and therefore the lease wasn't breached. I wish I could remember more detail but my brain is full to bursting with crap for the bar exam.

From Websters:

Sandwich: 1 a : two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between b : one slice of bread covered with food

Submarine: 2 : a large sandwich on a long split roll with any of a variety of fillings (as meatballs or cold cuts, cheese, lettuce, and tomato) -- called also grinder, hero, hoagie, Italian sandwich, po'boy, sub, torpedo

Gyro: a sandwich especially of lamb and beef, tomato, onion, and yogurt sauce on pita bread

Burrito: a flour tortilla rolled or folded around a filling (as of meat, beans, and cheese)

Does this help?  I do not normally participate in this kind of jocularity but I could not resist on this one!!

WoosterFAN--you know better than anyone else in here than to put stock in any dictionary that equates a po'boy with a submarine or hero sandwich!  Next thing you know they'll say that a Muffuletta is the same thing as ham sandwich!  :D

But we all know a Manwich is a meal, right?

Smeds- I think that the ConAgra Foods advertising department has successfully infiltrated your brain!   :D ;D :) ;) :P

It's more like a transvestite ham sandwich.

I do NOT want an explanation of that comment! :P

cmhscots asked about Transy's style on the HCAC board; a Bluffton poster responded:

So what is Transy's style?  I know last year they beat Wooster primarily riding Marc Bain's hot hand, but I'm not sure from looking at their stats what their style is this year.

Bluffton Poster response:
I've only seen them play once (and listened to them on the radio twice), but their top 4 scorers (Nick Feagan, Joey Verax, Joey Searle, Aaron Cash) all hit 40% to 50% from 3-point range; as a team, they hit right around 40%.  They are very good at moving the ball around and finding an open shot.  Feagan, Searle, and Verax are especially troublesome because at 6-7, 6-6, and 6-5, you have to guard them inside and outside.

The Bluffton poster's response prompted me to check the season stats for both Transy and Wooster.  Here is the summary:

Team A:  Made 251 three pointers this season, 40% on 3's, Average 9.3 made 3's/game

Team B:  Made 280 three pointers this season, 41.7% on 3's, Average 10.0 made 3's/game

Did you guess right? :)  Team A is Transylvania;  Team B is Wooster
Conclusion: Transy shoots the three pointers nearly as well as Wooster

Major key to Friday's game:  Which team will do a better job of defending the three point shots?

Transy has 7 players that shoot three pointers well and their two tallest players (6'7" Nick Feagan-50 and 6'6" Joey Searle-48) have made the most three pointers.  Impressively, Searle is shooting a "Fulkesque" 50% (48 of 96) from behind the arc!

GO SCOTS!

This is a genuine DIII level sandwich.  Anything on submarine, hero, or hoagie style bread is nothing but an NAIA meal with mayonaise.  ;D
