Empire 8

[bamm]

Fisher fans like yourselves were saying the exact same things before blowout losses to Potsdam and Amherst. 

the young guardplay... by whose standards?

I guess I don't know what that means.  But as recently as February starting PG Matt Newman had to be subbed out for the final 15 minutes of a game against RIT because he was rattled by pressure (at home, no less).  He's a decent player, but both he and Baltz are prone to making bad decisions by teams that play fast, trapping, tough defense (hello Brockport).

Are you really that insane/blind/obnoxious that you don't believe the team has weaknesses?

I will post a resturant guide later in the week...

Gotta include the best garbage plate restaurants... I know the Ohioans have been really wanting to eat one of those.

fairport hots is where its at if you want a garbage plate, they can also be referred to as hambergur plate, junk plate or basically anything with plate in the name.

You need to expand your horizons then, friend. Send the Ohioans to Tahou's if they're only in town for one weekend. Seriously, I think the only worse "plate" I've ever had was from Perinton Hots. I wouldn't put Fairport Hots in the top 7 or 8 in Rochester.

Fisher does have weaknesses with just about every other team.  If i were playing fisher i would pressure the Sh&$* out of them just as bport is going to do.  How they handle the pressure will be up in the air, it should be interesting.  However, the fisher team this wkend was 10x better then the fisher team we've seen all season, baltz and newman are playing amazing, can they keep it up? we'll see, freshmen tend to be inconsistent.  As far as could that have beat anyteam this wkend? maybe not, but i think they would have stayed in the game.  bamm your right, the two teams this wkend were not what they are going to see this wkend with wooster if they get there.  Plattsburgh i think is a good team, will be very good next year as most players were only juniors.  Fishers biggest weakness and has been the past few years is if they get down big early they tend to take themselves out of the game.  We'll see if fisher is shooting well and take care of the balli think they will beat brockport inline with sjfcards predictions about 5.  Tough to make predictions on the Wooster game, if Wooster gets upset, then I like bport or Fishers chances of representing the East in the Final 4.

I'll take the #2 team in the country to come out of this regional, whether it's B'port or Fisher in the Elite 8 is anyone's guess. Fisher got better during the second half of the conference season but Brockport REALLY came on after the Chase Tourney. Should be a good one.

it should be a great game and Cards obviously you had a bad experiance at that gym, but from players that I have talked to they like playing there because of how loud it can get and the floor and scoreboard are both new.... and jeez compared to Amherst Parking, parking at fisher is good, especially since students will still not be on campus and last friday and saturday some students were still on campus because dorms did not close till saturday at 6.

But as much as it pains me to say it I would have to take Wooster winning this regional but who knows stranger things have happened in the world

[sjfcards]

A lot of people have a "bad" experience as fans at Fisher...A lot of fans are frustrated about what happens there. Most players that I have talked to from other teams have all said that it is a fine place to play, and that the fans actually made it more fun to play their. Regardless of what people may think of Fisher, they have a chance to win this weekend. Brockport will be a real challange for Fisher on Friday...It should be a real fun weekend of basketball.

Wooster should probably win the regional this weekend. They are for sure the favorite in my mind.

[superman57]

and the garbage plate comment benefits both fisher and brockport...it was a funny joke anyone who knows what a garbage plate is also knows that only idiots eat it before athletic competiton

[keystonelight]

bamm that home game against RIT was a growing pain for newman who was in the end of the game and actually was the one with the weight of the last shot resting solidly on his shoulders.

and as far as for putting fisher on a platform i am not i don't even attend school there i  go to a different institution but i feel that you are making them look like a sinking ship and if they play this coming weekend the way they did last weekend then they will be tough to beat.

And its a good thing because i feel like whoever comes out of this regional will be going to the championship game...these teams are all of such high quality that it wouldn't suprise me if one of them became champions this year.

[keystonelight]

I also have friends attending JC and 'Port so i wouldn't be upset in the least if one of those teams moved on.

[gobombers15]

Wow, how did Fisher go from losing at Alfred to potential participant in a National Championship Game? Still a lot of meat left on that bone before we even start talking about that possibility, fellas.

[superman57]

first off GB15 and Bamm, as much as it will pain you, you guys should be cheering for fisher, if fisher even makes the final four, they will be the only team to make the football and basketball final four and that will be huge for the E8 and considering RIT was the last team to beat fisher, and ithaca took them to 4 ot's your teams should be hoping for a fisher final 4

keystone- no i did graduate in May 91..
Though i do agree on the garbage plate thing.
Never been to the others but Nick is the only "home" of the real plate.
SOme of the other Fisher faithful have sent me to Fairport, yet it seems like a cop-out.

[fisheralum91]

Hosting regionals- I would have never have thought that earlier this year- Enjoy the games!!

[superman57]
