Hey Daryl will you be at the Battle of Big Bend Tonite. Spot me 10 pts. and we'll play for an order of wings at McClain's. Hope to see ya tonite.

[macnews]

Just curious, but are there plans for future new gym at Blackburn?  I thought 5 years ago there had been. 

As for macman5 - very poor taste.

[hopefan]

Are any of the Mac Posters coming down to Maryville tonite  -  if so, find Hopefan and say hi - I'll be up in last row behind Maryville Bench, Blue/Green sweater, Beige pants, glasses.

MacMan5  -- I'll check out the 3 names you mentioned and let you know how accurate you are with your evaluations...

[cam]

I doubt if MACMAN5 will be able to make it to Maryville tonight. The house arrest anklet only lets him go 500 feet from the house. Plus, I'm sure he's already got a big night planned watching Gilmore Girls reruns.

[fcnews]

Once again I'll take the home teams. This one of the great nites of the year ( the other being FU @ WU ) college rivalry at it's best. These are alway's tight games. I just hope it's well called game for both sides. Let the kids determine the out come. Good Luck All.

[Make_Believe]

MACMAN5, you're nothing but a worthless, good for nothing, troll.  You're worthless.

Also, I heard Brady Greene is sitting out this semester in order to transfer to Duke and play for coach K next year.

MACMAN5:  You seem to have a perverse fascination with homosexuality.  While your incendiary comments are humorous, I wonder if I am the only one that finds it ironic that you call into question FCNews sexual preference when in your second post for this site you were asking me to perform fellatio on you, kind of strange, but whatever floats your boat.  I understand that, more than likely, you were beat up in high school and that abuse has left you with a blatant inferiority complex, but internet message boards are not the place to seek therapeutic release.  If you have valuable insight to offer to the discussions then by all means contribute, but if your sole purpose here is to discharge the diarrhea from your mouth, then please play internet tough guy elsewhere.

To everyone over the age of eleven:  I was wondering why the consensus seems to be that the big three are MU, BC and most shockingly WC. . . Webster has already beaten Westminster by 9 and played BC to a one point game.  I have not followed the season as closely as I would have liked to, so any insight would be appreciated.     

[hopefan]

Maryville beats Mac 85-57.  They rushed out to a big lead in the first half (Matt Regan on fire with 21 in the first half) and coasted in the 2nd.

None of the 3 players that our critic Macman5 mentioned were dressed

Webster over Fontbonne  74-62;  Blackburn wins at Westminster 71-60 (so much for my prediction)

Darryl, you make a good point regarding comparative scores. My opinions were drawn from the games I personally saw... Webster vs Maryville and Webster vs Millikin..  and the two early games vs Transy and Hanover  ...  a very good night vs Hanover, and downhill from there.   Westminster played pretty well vs Maryville, so my impression was favorable.

FC, if you consider FC vs Webster as college rivalry at its best, I'd venture to say your D3 experience outside the SLIAC is relatively limited...

[Daryl L Lloyd]

Hopefan:  Im not a big fan of comparitive scoring, but thats all I have to go on at this point due to my lack of attendance.  Its just hard for me to consider Westminster a favorite over Webster when WU is already one up on the Jays, points aside.  I remember reading one of your posts where you spoke highly of WC, I hope I get the chance to see them play.  The four slots for the tourney are gonna be tight.  Not to look past Greenville, but Itll be interesting to see how Webster does against MU the second time around @ home. 

[Mac Attack]

I was hoping Mac would bounce back from the loss at Greenville with a strong performance at Maryville, but it wasn't meant to be. It was fairly close early, but Mac's offense went ice cold for about a seven minute stretch in the first half - i.e. no points at all - and went from about 8 or 9 back to about 20. And that was your ballgame. Being outrebounded 63-39 gives you an idea of shot selection, and who was in rebounding position for the Highlanders when the ball went up. Mac can still climb back in this thing if they can run off some wins at home, starting this Saturday against Westminster. But looming around the corner are road games at Blackburn and Fontbonne. Mac is hanging on by its fingernails, but are still playing hard.

I would hope that Pat Coleman can step in and clean up MACMAN5's act. The comments are beyond decency and have no place on a board like this. I would assume he can pull the plug on this juvinile, as he has on other posters who resort to this kind of language and personal attacks.

[fcnews]

Pat it's Time.
Daryl wings are on me.
Hopefan I was commenting on the rivalry that exists between these two schools. At my age I've seen alot of basketball and at alot of different divisions. I would venture a guess and say I'm about 300 games up on you at least. I'm sure this is a game that will never compare to Hope vs. who cares. Sir you just over read every one of my posts looking for something. I admire your passion but am growing tired of your needles.

[cam]

Please remove MACMAN5. I think we have been tolerant enough of his egregious comments. But enough is enough.

hopefan and fcnews: kiss and make up. It's making it uncomfortable for the rest of us

What did we learn last night? Regan from MU is a strong contender for  POY. He and Hebl have really been carrying that team this year. Bash brings stability to the team from the interior, but he has not been near as dominant as he was two years ago when he won POY. Any other contenders out there for POY? I know it's early, but not having seen all teams, I would like a little feedback.

[hopefan]

FC, don't get mad, I'm not mad.  Just because I take exception to one of your comments, don't hate.  Discuss the point you're making!!  To think that Fonbonne vs Webster is college rivalry at its best, SHOW ME.  I've seen Hope Calvin, I've seen Williams Amherst, I've seen Depauw Wabash, I've seen IWU-Wheaton.  People in the St.Louis area (not necessarily you, but you are the one that made the comment about the rivalry), think all D3 is similar to what they've seen in the SLIAC  -  IT'S NOT.   It could be SO MUCH BETTER here if the students and local communities got behind these programs.   Imagine if instead of the 300 or 400 that might have been at last night's Fontbonne - Webster game, there were 2 or 3 THOUSAND, with 1500 from Fontbonne dressed in PURPLE.  THAT's excitement that makes a rivalry!.   FC to say you're x amount of games up on me is silly  -  I feel bad for you, you don't know what you've been missing.  And again, don't hate  -  discuss  -  that's what a forum is for.  I am NOT closed minded.

I agree. Thankfully someone actually used the little "report to moderator" link and told me about it. Complaining on the board doesn't do much to contact me.

[hopefan]

Cam - sorry -really-  the last thing I want to do is drive anyone away from here.  I'm trying to generate interest, especially in the SLIAC. 

As to POY, it is an interesting race.

I have seen Maryville play each team with the exception of Prin, and I think it's safe to say they don't have a POY candidate.
The guys who have impressed me vs Maryville are Turner (GC), Kuhn (WC), Eberhart (Mac), Hoggit (WC) though he had a weak game vs MU, Hammond (BC), Djedovich (BC), and McDormand (WC).  Add as you say, Regan and Hebl.   If we dicuss LEAGUE GAMES ONLY, Regan has been terrific, and with the exception of the Blackburn game when he was in foul trouble, very consistent.  Hebl - I love him - but I come away disappointed because his game seems so 1 dimensional  -  a three point shooter.  He'd be a 20 point a game man if he'd go to the basket some times.  Gotta go, but I realize some of the other guys I mentioned haven't been consistent-  in the long run, Regan, Hammond, Djedovich are likely leaders.
