Empire 8

I kind of agree Dmc, but mcsweeney has not played well as of late, so I put bryant above him.  If i were putting together a starting 5 this would be the line up..

PG. Doug Herrig
SG. Joe Canori
Sf. Ray Ray (league lacks this position)
Pf. Bacon/Beigal
C. Mcsweeney

This line-up could almost beat Fisher the last few years.  haha Sorry had to say it to piss people off.

HAHA...good stuff Fisherdynasty. It is a funny line, but seriously you could probably take a all star team for the last 5 years, and put them up against a all star team from Fisher the last 5 years and it would probably be a better game then you would think.

I am pretty sure a team of Sean O'brien, Nick Bennet, Mike Mcgee, Jeff Sydney, and maybe McSweeny could hang with most teams people could put together.

Except for Potsdam

[fisheralum91]

ouch!

[FisherDynasty]

Ouch is right.  But it's still irrelevant since Postdam is not in the E8. 

[fisheralum91]

No - but after a perfect regular season- that loss hurt!

[FisherDynasty]

No Sh**

[fisheralum91]

well?

[superman57]

so Fisher plays 28 great games and then they let down for 1 game...happened to be the wrong game to let down for...and again I have serious issues with where they hold the tourny games....it automatically gives Amherst or any host a redicolus unfair advantage....for any other fisher fan at that game last year they know how incredibly loud it was at the game...because it was on the amherst campus...choose neutral sites....

[fisheralum91]

Hey super- I do agree in theory, but im sure that it would be a pain to implement!!!!

[superman57]

not at all...you get a host school and it rotates from year to year...schools need to apply for it and then they implement it... so amherst could have it one year...or you give it to the winner the year before or whatever

[fisheralum91]

Make it so!

I'm sure the Rowan football team very much agrees with you, Superman. You know how D3 goes, this is not a surprise to anyone. Neutral sites just aren't going to happen until the very end of tournaments.

Would you have had serious issues with this if they chose Fisher as the host for that regional?

In this particular case it didn't do Amherst much good, UR beat them anyway. And for Potsdam/Fisher, technically wasn't it a neutral site game?

And although I agree that Neutral sites would be preferable I doubt it will happen.

AU, in its 1981(?) NCAA playoff run, beat Naz on a half-court buzzer beater by Mike Wing in a game played at Potsdam to advance to the East Regional final against the host Bears. AUPepBand and his pops made the trip to Potsdam from Alfred for the final on a Saturday night. Potsdam State's gym seats 3200, there were probably 3402 Potsdam students there and no seating designated for the visitors. Pep had to fight for a nosebleed seat. The Saxons appeared a bit intimidated and got off to a horrendous start...a disappointing end to a tremendous season. Potsdam fan said to Pep, "I can't believe Alfred beat Hartwick (a power at the time). They (Alfred) are terrible." Pep responded, "This is somewhat of an intimidating place to play....our Saxons are much better than they appear."

[superman57]

I think that it is different in basketball and football.....because football there is almost an unlimited amount of seating your not gonna sell out...and people are 20-40 yards from the field so their is less of an impact and I'm not refering to 05 I'm refering to 06...I still think a game should not be decided by where it is played....choose a neutral site...

[FisherDynasty]

Its tough to say, sweet 16 for basketball seems pretty far into it where they could have some neutral games, or if your going to give it to the #1 seed it should go to the right team.  Fisher was 28-0 and didnt host, that is absurd.  Especially when 3 of the teams in the semi's were from NY (2 being from Rochester).  It wasn't about seating capacity either, Amherst might hold a hundred more people then fishers gym, very small.  The following year fisher had to go down and play Amherst was more in the right because Amherst had more losses.  Anyways, that is past talk.  Any early predictions on the Fisher Utica game coming up this wkend?
