Empire 8

sjfcards · January 30, 2008, 06:22:29 PM

I have to say it is strange to see Fisher with so many losses at this point in the season, but I am really enjoying the idea that several teams in the league have a chance to win the league this late in the season.
It is fun to have posters from several teams with a legitimate argument that their team can do it, and to have every game (even games with bottom of the barrel teams) mean so much. It is a lot of fun.
Any predictions on how the rest of the season will turn out? I would love to say I have some idea, but I just can not seem to figure out anything about this season yet.

One crack at it:
1)Naz
2)Fisher
3)Stevens
4)Ithaca
5)RIT
6)Utica
7)Hartwick
8)Elmira
9)Alfred

A very rough guess of how it will turn out, because we all know that this is just not an easy season to get a handle on.

Bamm- did you see the game? Did Burton have a Korinchak problem? Or did he just have an off night? Ordinarily I'd say Burton could shoot that well with a blindfold on..... but Korinchak is very quick..... or was it a Roy/ Korinchak combo problem?

bamm · January 30, 2008, 07:20:49 PM

I didn't see the game, so I'm not sure if the Roy/Korinchak duo (both are good defenders) stifled him or if he just had one of those nights.

Well Stevens lost to something called Baruch out of conference last night. No word yet if this will cause the Ducks to cancel future games against Atah and Adonai (maybe only Superman57 gets that, maybe not).

Indeed, Baruch appears to be a mediocre member of the Kosher Conference. Stevens would be hard pressed to beat Atah and Adonai.

Adonai 13-2
Asher 11-4

Baruch 6-9
Eloheinu 4-11

Outstanding as always, Pep, you are the man. +K.

Not to take anything away from RIT players Roy and Korinchak but i think Burton had an off night. He was taking good shots, ones he normally knocks down, they just weren't falling.

Bombersquad...

So bomber you seem to be a liked dude on this site and I am sure its well deserved, and the "bobble head" comment got you a plus in my book, but if you want to talk about something or if you want to ask me a question, be a man and ask me...dont be a tool and try to start a funny thread over the internet...
One thing I wasnt was soft, so if I feel someone is soft in the LL, I will say it...Stats mean nothing to me when it comes to whether a player is scared of the paint or not...So relax with the comments although extremely funny..Loook forward to some Ithaca comments because I am sure you think they are going to win the National Championship..

I don't think sticking up for my boy Bostic makes me a tool by any means. I wasn't trying to start a funny thread either. I was just stating the facts how i saw them. Sorry you had an injury plagued career, but Bostic is not soft, just because he has a great 15-17 footer and isn't asked to be a back to the basket player doesn't mean hes soft. Bostic cleans up everything for Ithaca inside, and you or whoever called him soft was misinformed. I'm sure there isn't a coach in the E8, LL or sunyac who would turn down Bostic or think he is too soft.

And why do you think i feel Ithaca is going to win the National Championship. I think they are the most talented team since they went to the NCAA's in '02 maybe better. I have never once said or predicted anything about a National Championship, i do think if IThaca get hot going into the E8 tourney they can get on a roll and make some noise in the tournament. But like most teams in the E8, it really depends on what team takes the floor that night.

Anyways hopefully there are no ill feelings, and you have control of your account now and can give us some input as we reach the playoffs.

Bart1117 · January 31, 2008, 08:09:26 AM

agreed...my point was just next time, ask me if you want to know who I am...

and if you look back on the postings, they were all over the place...one good thing about burton and then all of a sudden, talking about how soft bostic was..

that wasnt me..

agreed with everything else tho..

FROMAFAR · January 31, 2008, 08:37:33 AM

OK SJFCARDS I'll give it a shot BUT, this is more difficult than the CPA exams.

1/2.. Stevens/ NAZ ( Fridays game could be the factor)
3.. Ithaca
4/5.. Fisher/RIT

I know the RIT call is crazy, BUT they are hot, and seem to be on a mission. Fisher needs to show me something as they have some tough games left.

The more I look at this the more I'm convinced, I'M NOT CONVINCED.

If I just went by, on paper talent, coaching, schedule left and everything went according to Hoyle I would say..

1. Stevens
2. Naz
3. Ithaca
4. Fisher
5. Rit
6.Utica
7.Hartwick?
8.Elmira
9.Alfred

Any other thoughts from the guru's out there?

triplethreat · January 31, 2008, 08:50:03 AM

I Like...

1. Naz
2. Stevens
3. Fisher
4. Ithaca
5. RIT
6. Utica
7. Hartwick
8. Elmira
9. Alfred

absolutly hilarious... way to go pep and caz

bombersquadron · January 31, 2008, 09:18:06 AM

I think Ithaca only loses one more game, maybe to Fisher at their place but closes out their last weekend beating Stevens and Naz.

Ithaca
Naz
Stevens
Fisher
Rit
Utica
Hartwick
Elmira
Alfred

FROMAFAR · January 31, 2008, 09:59:23 AM

Bomber your going with your heart, and here we go again trying to make sense out of something that doesn't make sense. Tough to beat NAZ and Stevens back to back two consecutive days BUT since sense tells us that, maybe your right. Here's one that doesn't make any sense, but so much so, that it might happen...... Watch out for Alfred, Elmira or Hartwick to pick someone off that will cost them in top 4?

? What say you great prognosticators.

FisherDynasty · January 31, 2008, 10:10:23 AM

I agree with Triple Threat:

1. Naz
2. Stevens
3. Fisher
4. Ithaca
5. RIT
6. Utica
7. Hartwick
8. Elmira
9. Alfred

Althought, the Fisher Ithaca and Fisher Naz games will say a lot that are coming up about how good Fisher is going to be and is at this point in the season.
