The deadline for signing has passed and Pecora has not signed at this time.  If I am correct, Pecora should be back in school.

Felix is very good.

Pecora is back in school.

that was good narch!!!! i was getting bored making references to richmond v ashland, making up stories about a neighbor, making fun of proball being one word, etc.........

i wonder what the rmc ad will say when he sees this stuff?

Gold Glove,

Don't feel too bad about your recent "outing"  on this board.  Yesterday NPR revealed that Christopher Newport himself has been misrepresented on the campus as being right handed.  He was, in fact, a southpaw.   You can be easily reformed, but Christopher will have to be totally rebuilt.

His glove looks silver color to me.

Is there a more pointless board on which to troll for prestige? I have eligibility left, but my fastball is clocked with a sundial, as is my 60 yard dash at this point lol.

He'd be better off pedaling this stuff on virginiapreps.com.

former monarch blake maxwell rebounded well from struggles early in the season...the sox had changed his arm angle and were having him come over the top and 3/4...he dropped down again in late july, posted a 1.76 in august, raised his velocity into the 90's and was on both the double a and triple a roster before the season was over...nice little run going into the offseason

The change in message board subject heading facilitates identifying the sport and the conference on the main message board.

Shenandoah University has officially announced it's desire to join the ODAC. Read page 6 of this newsletter for more info http://www.su.edu/pr/publications/sun/Sept19.pdf

If shenadoah did decide to leave, who would be a possible replacement? Or would the USAS get a replacement?  That might also leave time for a ODAC/USAS tourney.  It seems like the only tournament in the south is the one at emory.  I dont think they like ncwc a whole lot.

See the ODAC football or the USAC football page.  The oDAC turned them down for now.  We are awaiting the D-II D-IV issue that we are discussing on the Future of D-III Board.

I would bet a team from the GSAC would join.  LaGrange, Huntington, or Piedmont would be nice additions. 

I bet the lack of football at Piedmont could be a problem.

[NCWC]

i think  langrange, hunt., and piedmont would be to far, football would be fine but not baseball, usas could trade shenadoah for a team to be named later (vwc)

[NCWC]

Any news coming from usas teams?  Pre season freshman of the year(s)? Pre season all conference?

Why not absorb the GSAC?  For baseball this would be a 10 team league.

I think getting the GSAC teams would be great for the USA South.

I don't think travel would be a problem.  Wesleyan, Methodist, Ferrum, and CNU all make trips to Georgia to play these teams and Emory almost every year.

I am not sure how the other sports in the GSAC would fold in but it makes sence in baseball.

I would like to see fewer independent teams and the trend is moving that way.  There are schools such as Cal State East Bay who have no natural conference to move to but there are plenty that could (see the new CAC)

Nice article on a former teammate, Buddy Hernandez.  Hopefully he signs with the Orioles.  Though they were wrong about him being drafted, he was signed as a Free Agent in the summer between his Junior and Senior year out of the Coastal Plain League.
