You compared yourself to the AP. You argue in circles. And give yourself 5 stars guru!

All I see you interested in doing is crossposting from one board to the other. You don't seem interested in responding to my points. Perhaps that's because you made basic assumptions that were just plain false regarding the way the All-American team is constructed.

If you want to obfuscate the real discussion with your boilerplate off the AP mission statement or whatever, that's your problem.

According to dictionary.com: Obfuscate - To make so confused or opaque as to be difficult to perceive or understand: "A great effort was made... to obscure or obfuscate the truth"

Ulf... as a UC guy myself, I hate to do this, but you're making yourself look stupid. Mr. Coleman, el guru himself, works for the USA Today family of newspapers, if I do remember correctly. He's got a job that those of us in much smaller locales and those on the "other side of the wall" (NEWS) would beg and cry for. Now, I 'm sure this post will kill my Karma because I'm kissing PC's azz for a second, but it's true.

You know why I like dictionary.com? The Word of the Day That's my favorite website.

Ulf, would you even know what circular reasoning was if it sat on your face? By the way, nice karma to post rate. You must really try to piss people off.

Col, The Word of the Day is tremendous. Unfortunately, I'm like 50 behind and they're cluttering up my inbox.

Coleman,

Just the fact that you need to defend yourself shows me that this guy is getting under your skin. I think your All-American teams suck ass, and you need to have your facts checked. There is some pretty solid basketball played in the East region you know Patricia.

Pat Coleman · March 25, 2006, 05:06:15 PM

Yawn.

Let's hear it for "pretty solid ball."

You can all voice your displeasure with Pat when he is in Pittsford on 9/23 for the Ithaca/Fisher football game. Right, Pat? Right? Right? C'mon, you know you want to be there.

Pat Coleman · March 25, 2006, 05:20:24 PM

I would like to be there. I might not be even living on the east coast in September, though, so I'm not making any plans for any football weekends as of yet.

Say what?

Pat might be leaving the east coast before September? What next, St. John's (MN) drops football?

Just a reminder of the Terms of Service:

"3) Posts that simply serve to bash another poster and do not discuss Division III sports will be removed."

Make a note of it.

superman57 · March 26, 2006, 06:32:44 PM

Pat, I respect your posts and your AA teams and the SID's who pick them, partly because I'm hoping to eventually be a SID. Come on ULF and Reggie get a life, these kids , might be hurt for all of 15 seconds that they didn't make the AA team, It's basketball my friends and it's fun not a torture fest so cut it out and lets enjoy this game. LETS GO MASON

Pat Coleman · March 26, 2006, 06:39:21 PM

Thanks, although as I said, the SIDs don't pick the All-America teams.

And yeah, Warren, my hometown is calling me. I've spent 15 years out here and I could live with that being the last of it.

reggieball22 · March 27, 2006, 02:58:52 AM

so what about your "pretty solid ball" comment towards me? Why was that not removed??? That does not discuss Division 3 basketball and simply bashes me. If you are going to be a stickler for rules Patricia you should follow them yourself.

Back to some basketball related news. The All-Great Rochester teams were in this weekend's Rochester Democrat & Chronicle. There is a write up, typically including potential college plans on all the first team members. Although many of these players go Div. I or II, every year several end up staying in the area.

This year, there are only 2 guys on the first team that list any of the local schools as schools of interest. Greg Logins from Sodus has Alfred and Brockport on his list. After seeing him play last year, he could be a major matchup problem for most of the E8 teams if he lands at Alfred and could step right in and replace Stein. The other player with local interest is Scott Young from Hornell who has UR, RIT, and Hamilton listed. Here's hoping that McVean can land him because he's been putting up solid numbers at Hornell for 3 years now and they could really use somebody inside to help out Bacon.

Most of the other guys on the first team are undecided but most of them look like they have some Div I or Div II interest.
