RedHawks, but we knew what ya meant.. take care

As mentioned on another board, I refuse to call Ripon anything but the Red Men....

Do you still call Knox the "Siwash"?

Nope...  Didn't even know they had a baseball team!!!!

D-III Draft prospects:

Ben Libuda, Worcester State: http://www.telegram.com/article/20150606/SPORTS/150609349
Michael Polcyn, Ripon: http://riponpress.com/main.asp?SectionID=3&SubSectionID=171&ArticleID=8651

Polcyn signed a free agent contract with the St. Louis Cardianls...  Will report to Jupiter, FL on Monday.

In what should be no surprise to anyone who has followed Polcyn's career, Polcyn promptly "retires" two games into his professional career.

I might have given it a little more time.  The minor league season ends at the end of August so he could easily fit in a fall semester.

I am going to predict that for only the third time since I was in high school, a MWC South representative wins the MWC Tournament and the automatic bid to the NCAA Regionals....

Which school? Grinnell?

Never thought I'd see the day where Ripon would be sitting at 2-14....  I can remember years where Ripon didn't lose half that many games!!!

Ripon went through some late-season turmoil last year regarding their coach. Seems that it has carried over to the spring.

And I have a feeling that same "turmoil" has affected recruiting long before this year which is why you see a roster lacking competitive talent....

[BigPoppa]

Seems like a place geographically that should be able to get quality talent. I can't understand how they cannot compete in the MWC...

I don't follow the Yankees real closely, but when is the last time they ever started a season 2-14?
