I should've included Amherst on that list, though. They won't be in my personal deliberation but they will be in the mix.

Probably because Rochester beat Brandeis and Amherst did not. Since both teams have a similar number of losses, it's helpful.

I don't think the Emory loss is too much different than the Florida Memorial loss. Both at the end of long plane trips, and even though Florida Memorial has the ability to grant six scholarships they're not SO much better than Emory that Amherst can be given a pass that Rochester can't.

do you think the fla. memorial game is a big factor?
speaking of the fla. trip...having a team go to miami for 1 week in the winter and play a decent team after having 2.5 weeks off for exams is mission impossible... back in hoop playing days, it would have been tough playing that game much less staying close. ..today's kids are so much better.

Dear Dad,
I'm not sure this makes sense.

Wow, big surprise.  I thought you were Amherst's biggest fan

And you are basing this off of your extensive  knowledge of Fla. Memorial?

[La Verdad]

It's the Bunkster folks, so you know what that means: brace yourself for a hardcore truth bombing. My eph knowledge is endless and as I sit here only hours before the Ephs-AmWorst game I feel it's only right to impart some of that knowledge on you all.

To the dismay of AmWorst fans, it only gets worse from there. This just in, Rose is poised to go OFF tonight on the Poor Jeffs. It was subtle but clear to a student of greatness like myself. Rose (who also dropped 15) found his stroke on two consecutive threes last night. He shot the ball aggressively and with a confidence--rather a cockiness-- that would make any AmWorst fan shudder. If Shalvoy's play builds the coffin for the Jeffs tonight, Rose's jumpers are going to nail it shut.

In case you didn't know, you've been bunked!

Talk about your all-time worst backfires...Good call on Rose, ephstalker.  You truly are a student of greatness.

Last year, Amherst came to Texas and almost lost to a very average Trinity TX team before finally pulling away.

i know..i wasn't minimizing it...i was speaking on the "tough" week the jeffs had ...oh to be young and in south beach for 1 week!

Haven't seen them in person, but I look at their schedule and results every week so I can report their record to our votes. They continue to hover around .500, 2-4 in their conference.

[CCsalive]

In summary, if your squad has a winning record in the league, your upcoming weekend is considered "a big weekend." Therefore, at 2-1 in the league, the Camels are headed to Tufts and Bates this weekend to possibly stake their claim as the best one-loss team in the conference. Am I being serious? As serious as the posters who seem to think the conference is up for grabs. CC has six remaining league games. Amherst and Trinity make for a tough weekend, but Midd, Williams, Tufts, and Bates are all winnable games for the 14-3 Camels. Will CC take these four games? That is very doubtful. Could they split each weekend? Definitely. Will Trinity want to guard the princeton on a Saturday afternoon? Nope.
But, first things first....the Camels will have to dig deep to beat an angry Jumbos squad on the road.
Note: Camel frosh Dean Lampe is seeing sime nice minutes and contributing.

#1 or #3 - does it really matter a lot?

One question after having (finally) seen Amherst play: Olson played 38 minutes at Middlebury, 37 at Williams - who's the point guard next year? Meehan? He came in for a cup of coffee at Middlebury. Can he play?

[JeffRookie2]

Meehan gets rave reviews from everyone on the team and has looked increasingly solid in his limited action. He brought an offensive spark off the bench against Williams and I was sorry to see him exit the game. (We have seen that Hixon will play both of them at the same time.) Also, D.J. Carcieri is just now coming back from a preseason injury. I had heard positive things about his play before he got hurt. He is probably a little behind on conditioning and hasnt had the opportunity to get into the flow, so we might not see him for a bit, but that doesnt mean he won't contribute later this season and next year for the Jeffs.

doesn't matter until march...meehan is a baller as is wong ,carcieri and bradley...as a matter of fact i love the entire jeff bench. they may be as deep as last years bench. Holsey is starting to give some important minutes in the post.

[dman]

hopefully, the ephs can bounce back this week against hamilton and midd.  tough to be a fan and continuously "replay" these games...the hearst looks like a pretty formidable team with size and depth, and they don't make many mistakes...maybe i'll feel better after a big breakfast.  cassie, can you start me out with a bowl of oatmeal with skim milk; 3 eggs up, loose; bacon, crispy but not burned; rye toast with extra butter; and on the side, a multigrain blueberry pancake with butter and real maple syrup; tea with half and half; and fresh squeezed oj...i'll be in early......

[Route9_Cassie]

You're in luck.  Extra butter is the only way toast comes around here.

Pat, I'll keep your Monte Cristo warm.
