Empire 8

[dmcclintock]

hello posters...I am new to posting on this board but not to basketball or the empire 8.  I am a fisher fan first and foremost so obviously I will have some biased opinions however but generally usually on the money... Being that this is my first post feel free to haze me...I am a big boy and can take it...anyways...the chase is almost under way...yes the girls played but who cares...moving on...I do not know if there are any favorites this year...I believe fisher and u of r have the best chance since I have some them both play (each other actually)...Bport is alright but I think they went up against a very very inexperienced fisher team...now they would just be going up against an inexperienced fisher team if they make it...I like geneseo to be a sleeper and who knows about roberts...the other teams I feel are just playing for 5-8 spots...

Just saying -- if you ever want to get beyond the handful of regular posters, you might want to be more welcoming to new posters. That's all.


Pat-Couldn't agree with you more!!

Couple of questions for you and for you to answer:

How many regular posters are on this Empire 8 message board?
How many new posters (like me) have signed up this season so far? How many of them are active? How many are not active?

Just wondering

Anyway to the rest of the board:

BE Loud Be Proud Be Positive....Post Responsibly
-Post for YOUR team, not against opponents and their fans
-Don't get personal in your posts about other players, coaches, fans, or officials
-No intimidating, vilifying, harassing other posters or teams

annnnnnnnnd i just read postups message ...its like someone going to their protective mother for help then standing behind her saying I told you so...Id rather have a board where a lil trash talk goes on, makes everything more exciting...Also getting personal about teams is how this board has always been...

postup,
you dont make the rules.
If you cant take a little ribbing like we all do - then you may want to go elsewhere..
It all is in good fun- but who are you to tell us how to post?

You are entitled to your own opinion and I am entitled to mine...Fair enough?

I would like to see more posters and more opinions on this message board. This will only happen if they can express themselves freely without getting vilified. Face it, this E8 message board comes across as a closed door fraternity.

[fisheralum91]

post- we will agree to disagree.
However- you wont last long if you cant take some ribbing.
I respect that you are a wick fan- and passionate about your team, but a newbie cant come in and force rules on anybody.

dmcclintock you say Brockport is alright. I respect your opinion but Brockport is not even close to the team that won at fisher. There best player wasnt even playing at that time. Check out  the bport box score from the last couple of games and look at sherrod harris's stats. This kid has all of us port fans very excited. He put up huge numbers against teams that were a combined 18-1. This kid plays d like ricky hollis use to and can blow by just about anyone with his dribble. Whitmore has said he is the best guard we have ever had in our program. The addition  of 6'8" cantrel parish has givin brockport some help for brandon williams also. With that said geneseo is a very good team and brockport better not look past them. I believe they had fisher on the ropes but went scoreless for like 7 minutes to end the game?  Good luck to all  it should be a great tourney.

Chase really looks good this year!!

[dmcclintock]

hmmmm...interesting about bport...thanks for the scoop

postup-
grow up and grow a pair.

Hey Post up,
This is not a closed fraternity,  As a new kid on the block you have managed to turn all the attention on yourself and deflect from the team you support.  Lighten up and take Fisheralum's advice.

Agreed bports, Bport is a much better team now then when they beat Fisher in game 1.  Sharod is very good, very quick, excellent passing and handle and good jumper he can rally score.  However, comparing him to hollis is a bad comparison, Sharod cant guard anyone, not that it matters bc bport pressures so much and forces so many turnovers their on the ball D is not noticeable bc of all the traps.  Hollis was a very very good defender and not as good of a scorer. Anyways, the tourny should be a good one, I would love to see a Fisher vs Bport rematch but it is unlikely since there are so many solid teams in the chase, upsets are bound to happen.  Also, shouldn't say this but if anyone saw the bport game idk how you do not know what their weakness is and take advantage of it, but ill just let it go as coaches in the E8 won't ever figure it out.

There is no doubt in my mind that Postup is MadHawk.

[gobombers15]

Predictions for tonight:

Brockport over Keuka, 81-60.
Geneseo over Roberts, 70-63.
UR over Naz, 69-66.
Fisher over RIT, 65-64 (I'm calling that this one gets a little chippy and we see some T's)

[gobombers15]

As Caz posted last night, IC rolls Elmira in both teams conference opener, 85-61. Bombers lead wire-to-wire, led by Sean Burton's career high 24 points. Frosh Sean Leahy chips in 19 and Bostic has a solid 15 pts, 7 rebs, 6 assists. Frosh center Tom Brown continues his quality play off the bench with 7pts and 8 rebs in 19 mins.

Ithaca hosts Hartwick on Friday night.
