KSCFan,

As we all know Keene likes to prove thier strength with results on the field, which they have obviously done in the past 2 years.

As you stated, hopefully the young KSC pitching prosects will show thier talent this year.

Again preseason polls really are just LEC Coaches best quesses at year end outcome.

OK EVERYBODY LISTEN UP PLEASE:

I need to admit something here, this is very difficult, but I need to be honest about this and get it off my chest. I admit during Posting 119 and Posting 274 I used Performance Enhancing Word Supplements to augment my vocabulary, yes I used the following enhancers:

Merriam-Webster Dictionary and Thesaurus
Microsoft Word Spell Checker
Wikipedia - Dictionary and Thesaurus

For awhile there I did not even know myself I was so confused.

But I got help and thankfully I have reached this point where I can discuss this important issue with all of you.

I admit it freely now and want my fans, my Board-Mates, my family and all the American people to know I am truly sorry for this, it was really bad judgement. One important point I want to make, I came onto this board and was successful from my rookie posts through 118 and then after post 274 until now.

I just want to move forward and put this all behind me. It has been a tough time for me and I want to prove to my fans, my Board-Mates and all the American people I am capable of being a good poster without using illegal Performance Enhancing Word Supplements.

I feel much better and thank you for listening.

I just want to say that I stand behind Word as a boardmate.  It's nice that he came clean and admitted his wrong doing.  At least he is not LIEING about his actions and I hope that he can put it behind him.  I hope this doesn't influence any young kids out there and now hopefully we can get to the business of posting.

Had a short chat with Coach Holawaty at the ECSU/Keene State basketball game last night.

Mentioned to him there will be some good suport ou there from LEC fans.

Says the boys are enthusiatic about the start of the season.

Good luck to the LEC Teams in Phoenix

Alum, I was at the game, nice turnout for senior night.  Thats a good team ECSU has there.  Keene played well the first half but like most of their games ECSU D's up the second, at least the games I've seen.

D Gilblair,

Basketball Women are just GREAT!! I hope they do well in the LEC tourney and get to the NE Regionals. Now ranked 14th nationally

I think they are in top 5 in nation in defense.  The four seniors are great athletes. Moriarty fantastic.

I think the ECSU men Basketball should be good in future, some good freshman/sophmores with Ortiz  to solidify .

Coach Holowaty is a great guy, we are very fortunate to have had a coach and staff of there caliber for so many years.

I scoped out the venues for the Russmatt series, look like great facilities.  Will see at least 3 games out there including JH

Been kind of quiet on the Board lately, and we are still a week or two away from baseball, so if you don't mind I thought I'd add some entertainment to the waiting process.

The following posting do not reflect the opinions of Word or of the D3boards gods and in no way are they an endorsement of the actions as seen  but they are a heck of a lot of fun to watch.

Worst baseball fight I have ever seen.

Finally, with all the talk about steriods, I did want to link you to a guy who actually achieved his success doing it the clean way, hard work, iron and grit. Bet even I could get my 'fastball' by this cat.

Hope I brought a smile to your ugly mug today. 

A little bit more than 2 weeks and counting to opening day for most. 6-10" of that white stuff predicted for the Swamp tomorrow.

Young has been pitching very well of late in practice from what I have heard. He pitched well in the Blue/Gray games in the fall to I would say he will prob be one of those top 3 starting pitchers when the games start.

Now for the polls im not really a big fan of these preseason polls but if I had to say there was one OVERRATED TEAM and thats RIC they lost there 2 best pitchers from last year (Grogan Tibault) and there 2 best hitter (Olson Oconnors) there is no way in hell they should be pick fourth if anything they should be behind not only UMB but WestConn as well.

They should do well but thats all I'm saying, not going to jinx them.  Moriarty is fun to watch play.  She got game.

I wonder how many more decades coach H plans on giving us?  I really liked Arizona when we were there in 07.  Maybe our paths will cross at one of the games, I'm not a bleacher guy so you will see me pacing the sideline somewhere.

OK...OK girls at least make it to the championship game.  There I go.

[KSCfan]

Jcon thanks for the update on Young i hope that he does well this year for the beacons.  He is a very nice kid and i hope nothing but success for him(unless hes playing keene that is)  Days guys, we are only a matter of days away

I have to disagree with your preseason polls comment. Knowing the boys down there at RIC and their explosive bats they will always contend. Yes they lost 2 good pitchers but have some young talent to fill those voids. I believe their 4th place ranking is pretty accurate and I can't wait to see UMB and WConn try to throw them off. They will definetely be a thorn in the sides of most teams, I have yet to hear a team say they can't wait to play RIC. They do still have Rossi,Colombero,Cardoso and Costa and Doyon coming back with some new bats. So I say goodluck to all teams when playing RIC and I bid all goodluck in their upcoming preseason games. I'm packing now for my trip to Florida.

[KSCfan]

Santeezy- i agree with your comments on ric.  THey are always a dangerous team and seem to be a pest anytime they play someone.  RIC will always rake it just seems like that is a fact of the LEC.   Just like USM will always rake, and the evil empire will always pitch, and Keene will play defense and on and on.  Years past it seems that RIC pitching has been up and down, as teams always seem to score just enough off thier top guys to beat them.  I think anytime you get a conference game in the LEC you are in for a dogfight.  I would place RIC 4th and UMB 5th.

RIC also has one of the wiredest fields in the LEC with no room down the RF line and the Monster in left.  Not knocking the field but its certainly an interesting lay out.

ECSU vs Randolph Macon this weekend has been canceled.  Rain forecasted in Ashland.
