Weird that after JCon calls the LEC the best conference in the country, Southern Maine loses to Johnson and Wales and Eastern CT loses to Babson...

I'm not even sure the LEC is the top division in New England right now.

What is the top conference??

I think that a team that has around 30 wins at the end of the season is legit.  Teams like Johnson and Wales can beat USM- and teams like Babson can beat ECSU because of a hot pitcher.  It only takes one good start to beat a top team.  You can't win them all, and losing to only good teams makes you look worse.  A team like Johnson and Wales beating USM speaks well for their ace who beat them- but it doesn't mean jack to USM.

make sense? or did i come full circle and contradict myself?

I seriously doubt teams are throwing their ace in midweek games. I don't really think JWU has an ace. And I know Babson did not thrown their ace against ECSU.

I have no idea who the best conference is. I also agree that 30 wins is definitely a sign of a very strong team, but I don't see many LEC teams getting there in the regular season.

Any team in the LEC with 30 wins is for sure top notch.  Don't see it though this year.

Did ECSU have 30 regular season wins the year they got a Pool C and won the tournament?

I don't see any 30 game regular season winner in the LEC this year unless ECSU can pull it out. KSC and USM are at a huge disadvantage not being able to even practise outside. It's supposed to snow thursday again. Hopefully by conference tournament time teams will be at full performance level.

In 02 they were 30-9-1 it would appear. So just at 30 wins.

Anyone who would like to get an excellent overview of the quality of ECSU's baseball program as well as the success Coach Holowaty has had recruiting top quality players,( couple of which have played in MLB), go to the ECSU Baseball guide 2007 at ECSU Baseball site:

http://www.easternct.edu/depts/athletics/spring_season/bb-guide.htm

Whith the depth of players this year and some of the freshman starting to shine, I think Coach H will be in the thick of things come LEC and NCAA Tournament time.

FOUR TIME NCAA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP FLAGS FLY AT EASTERN BASEBALL STADIUM!!!!!

You wouldn't happen to have the Hartford Courant's championship game story from the last national title year (2002) would you?

If you do, I've got a question for you but it can go in private...and it doesn't entail your dressing up as Little Bo Peep, I assure you.

ECSUalum

Sorry Spence I must of thrown it away.

Not sure I understand what your message is???

Spence

If you had it, I was going to ask if you could copy it or get a copy or something.

I freelanced for both Marietta and Hartford for that game and thinking back wouldn't mind having a copy of both. At the time, I didn't really take much note of it.

As for the last part, forget it. It's from an 80s movie.
