MBB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

Bryan Crabtree has left the  European basketball wars for the business wars.  He is a stock broker for, I think,   Edward Jones Co.   He also plays a pretty good game of golf.

sir dennis - the reason i'm a second stringer is because i'm uncoordinated, unathletic, and the range on my jumper is only 12'.

thank you sir, may i have another?

[Gregory Sager]

I sure as heck hope he looked up the air date of that SNL and didn't have it memorized.

Trying to mess with my mystique, Pat? 

Mr. Sager - that may very well have been the single greatest post I have ever seen in my life. You, my friend, are a cut above.

Now we know why you're a second-stringer.

The moment I read RG's post I knew that steam would be pouring out of Dennis's and Clayton's ears, and that they'd be all over that post in response like Anna Nicole Smith on an octogenarian millionaire. Congrats, Dennis. You beat Clayton to the punch.

Who knew that Sager was also posting as robertgoulet? You had me fooled for quite a while Greg.

You've pulled back the curtain on my secret identity, Joe. By day I'm a 23-year-old North Central graduate living in the northwest suburbs. By night I'm the superannuated version of the arrested adolescent you remember from your reign as the benevolent despot of North Park's Burgh Hall back in the early eighties.

Think of it as a Bruce Wayne/Batman sort of thing. 

[Mr. Ypsi]

Uh oh, Greg, you've posted an error (your mystique lies in shattered ruins):

Anna Nicole Smith does NOT marry octogenarian millionaires - she holds out for octogenarian Billionaires!  When THAT fat lady sings, there are 10 digits attached, not merely 7!! 

[Gregory Sager]

Billionaires are also millionaires by definition. You can't be a billionaire unless you have a thousand millions, right?

Thanks, Chuck, for giving me the perfect opportunity to debut the smiley whose tongue is sticking out: 

[joehakes]

Greg,

Now you have outed me as an authority figure for you in my completely ineffective year as the RD in Burgh Hall.  People will not hold me reponsible for your ethical and social development, which obviously has many holes in it.

My apologies to all who read Greg's posts.   

[MilkMan25]

Ok...Just to get some discussion going...Who are the top 3 in the conf...I pick Augy, Wesleyan, and Elmhurst...Gimme some feedback people...

[True Basketball Fan]

Milk guy,

Those are safe picks, especially because those three teams have the most coming back and were quite successful last year.  I believe Augie and Elmhurst will be battling for the 2 and 3 spots, with an outside chance for Elmhurst contending with Wesleyan (they always play Wesleyan very tough at home, so a split is possible).  The big mystery is the 4th spot which actually is important these days because of the conference tourney.  That will be an interesting race between Carthage, NC, or even Wheaton (without Raymond).

[emeritusprof]

Sager scores again -- if only to protect being correct.  A billionaire is a millionaire.  Nice logic.

I guess Shaq is a 6-footer, plus 14 or 15 inches, and Garnett is another 6-footer, plus something over a foot.  Ya gotta be 6 before you can be 7.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Now, Clayton, I'll have to grant that Greg got me on a technicality, though he also revealed a shocking parochialism in doing so - in Britain, you would need a million millions to be a billionaire! 

[Gregory Sager]

How nice to see that Clayton has rejoined us. He must've gotten tired of sitting by the front window and yelling at the neighborhood kids to get off his lawn.  

Chuck, I didn't fancy delving into the dinky print of being a milliardaire over in Blighty, and all that stuff and nonsense, what. 

[emeritusprof]

Well, Gregory, there are no neighborhood kids.  Why assume there would be?  And, the front is actually the back, as you can enter the property only from the back, which makes it the front.  But, what I call the front is the lakeshore, and that ain't lawn.  You continue to assume so much, even as to living conditions of others about whom you know so precious little.

I do occasionally yell at boaters who ignore the 'no wake' buoy at the mouth of our bay.  My concern there is ecological, as is the DNR's, or there would be no buoy.

If your brain can't process the image, think peninsula.  Yep.  We live on a peninsula.  Not so large as Florida, or Italy, but a peninsula nonetheless.  Of course, I don't know what a peninsula must be before it becomes a peninsula, but I know this one consisted mainly of an island which was later connected to the main shore.  So, I guess peninsulas are really islands.  And, some probably have kids to yell at--even if lawns are absent.

[Gregory Sager]

Hee hee. Feeling spunky today, aren't we?

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

What happened?  No posts on the board for a full 24 hours?  Was there some sort of CCIW rapture?  Mass abductions? What?  The very foundations of my world may be crumbling.

[Warren Thompson]

Sager and emeritusprof are probably reloading ....
