BB: USAC: USA South Athletic Conference

[Falcon2720]

Spence,

I know you can't make up rules on the spot.  That's way Coach Austin said he would like to revisit policy and change some rules.  Adding an extra day in for rain might be a good rule.

All I said was "They need to due something just in case this situation occurs in the future."

Bottom Line, Ferrum is tournament champs and has the regional bid.  Methodist is fighting for an at large bid and could care less about the conference tournament.

In the future, I would hate to see the entire tournament including Golf, Lacrosse, and Baseball called off because of weather.

     I don't know about Burlington, NC but rain in VA in April is pretty common. I can't swear to this but I think it has been raining on a somewhat regular basis for oh....maybe a couple million years or so. Duh!! 
     I'm not trying to be a smart ass......ok, so maybe I am.  I find it hard to believe that the powers that be could plan a tourn. and NOT have a better plan in case of rain. Ok, I guess it's time to stop kicking the dead horse now.

It's the USA SOUTH as long as everyone at the tournament was in good Sportsmanship, and all the fans were in good Sportsmanship, I mean who really cares if the thing was won fair and square or by a technicality.

Everyone at the tourney GOT SPORTSMANSHIP!!!!!!!!

YAY! Sportsmanship

Will be interesting to see how things change the next couple years. Even though Hodges is a grad and has been with the program a long time, he'll probably make at least a few changes.

MU hosts Lynchburg in a DH on Sunday at 2 PM.  I imagine MU will come at the Hornets with full force to get a couple more regional wins.

[narch]

the monarchs go to splitsville with the hornets today - stories and box scores here - i think they've got to win 2 of the remaining 3 games vs. york and salisbury to have a strong chance to get a pool c bid

bisplinghoff improves to 7-0 on the season

[NCWC]

no way in hell that ncwc gets in this year...and honestly i dont think anyone in the usas has the pitching for the series...bats yes-pitching no...good luck to those teams that make it in...i'll be back next year



why does the team that sucks almost always win the sportsmanship award?

[Falcon2720]

NCWC,

Methodist won the sportsmanship award last year.  They were also USA South Conference Champions and swept NCWC in Rocky Mount last year.

You guys did get revenge in the tournament though

I would call getting all way to Appelton totally redeeming ones self.

with just 2 games left in the usasac/odac series, the usasac holds a commanding 50-19 lead - i EXPECT that ferrum will beat both ehc and roanoke this week to give the usasac an even larger lead - au (11-3), cnu (10-3), su (6-2) and mu (7-1) led the way for the usasac, but every team had a winning record against the odac

[A.G.]

From an ODAC fan's perspective...it was a lean year out of conference.  At least LC held their own, relatively speaking.

Any thoughts to how yesterday's split of the MU/LC DH will affect MU's shot at a bid?
