Couldn't have asked for much more if your a Fisher Fan. I would rather play ithaca any day than Naz home or away or At Stevens. I think its so funny how awful naz is at finishing games i dont really get it. And of course Daly got out coached, he is the worst coach ever, he has no rational behind his decisions. Good year for UC i they turned it on to late and lost some early close games. Should be a good post season, its anyteams title this year.

I think I am the happiest Fisher Fan in the world right now. Not only did Fisher take care of business to get into the tourny, but that tourny will be played in my back yard. I really want to thank IC for beating Stevens and Naz this weekend (no small task). It was really just better for the general public, who wants to make that drive.

Any news on why Ozell Franklin did not play at all today? Not one minute...Just a bit suprising. I think he could have helped today, but I guess Kornaker didn't.

Interesting that Ithaca has chosen to play the late game on Friday night. They obviously are doing it to maximize the size of the crowd, but it's a quicker turnaround if they win.

FD, you seem a little too excited to play Ithaca next week. Did you already forget about last weekend's game in Pittsford where IC was leading by about 15-18 the entire 2nd half and it was only that close b/c at one time the foul disparity was 23-8 (Fisher being the 8, of course)?

I would imagine he is excited because Fisher historically plays well at IC, and, lets not forget, that Fisher was able to control most of the game when the two teams played in Ithaca as well. As a fisher fan, from what I have seen this year, I would rather have them play Ithaca, in Ithaca, then play any team in New Jersey, or Naz (fisher0-2 against them this year).

Huge win, Ithaca shows the growth again and overcomes a awful first half. Huge games from every interior Bomber. Louis Kail, Tom Brown and Bostic with 20 boards. Sean Leahy turning into Robert Horry with all the game winning shots he is racking up.

SEE EVERYONE IN ITHACA NEXT WEEKEND

Anyways, I don't think I'm the #1 drum-beater. That title would and should go to bombersquadron, easily. I have picked Ithaca to lose on several occasions, actually. Overall, I think I'm pretty level-headed when it comes to Ithaca. I'm a fan, obviously, but I don't think I'm blind about it.

OK you're their #2 fan. But you're right you are pretty level headed and you're not blind about it. Plus k.

I think every fan thinks that their team has a chance, becauase every team appears to have a chance at winning this tournament. It really would not be hard to convince people of any of the teams being the favorite.

Ithaca has played well down the stretch, and is at home...
Stevens has seemed to be the best team in the league all year....
Naz has the shooters and it will be real tough for Stevens to beat them 3 times in a year...
Fisher is kind of the darkhorse. When they play well, they can beat any team in the league(and have)...

I don't know how everyone else sees it, but one Fisher fan's oppinion:

Stevens beats Naz by 5 or less.
Fisher beats IC late by 8 or less. (maybe burton can score 50 this time)

Stevens beats Fisher in the Championship by 10

It may be a little ambitious for fisher to even win a game, but I am a fan, and I think they can beat IC.

FisherDynasty · February 24, 2008, 11:29:53 AM

My predictions for the e8 Tourny:

Naz over Stevens by 3
Fisher over Ithaca by 4

Naz over Fisher by 7

gobombers15 · February 24, 2008, 11:59:50 AM

I love it. Everyone, keep picking against Ithaca.
