I'm 99% positive on my next two statements.

Martin is not returning this basketball season and is now working at a bank in Chicago.

Wilson will not be playing this season, as he has moved out to Phoenix.

Fan, I think you might be wrong on Martin!

I'm 99% correct that you're only 99% correct on one of those two statements.

C'mon guys. Enquiring minds want to know.

i spoke with martin's brother last night. He said chris has a job that he's very happy with but is still contemplating whether or not to come back. i guess it's about a 50/50 chance.

WI IWU fan...do you realize that you just went from being 99% certain that Martin would not play to a 50/50 chance? What changed your opinion in the two hours between posts?

Quote from: Mr. Ypsi on March 05, 2005, 08:47:02 PM
Halftime: Hanover 33, Titans 29.

It's a helluva a game in terms of closeness, but I suspect both teams have pretty pathetic shooting percentages (and that includes numerous blown lay-ups)!

Mr. Ypsi · August 30, 2005, 06:53:24 PM

iwufans,

OK, Mr. Ypsi, what am I missing?

Mr. Ypsi · August 30, 2005, 09:47:02 PM

Appararently you're missing that iwufans posted a quotation from during a game (nearly 6 months ago) with no comment whatsoever - I have NO clue what the intended point was!

Gregory Sager · August 31, 2005, 01:51:48 AM

Chuck, my guess is that he's either testing out the new formatting codes or else he's just messing with your head.

Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan) · September 01, 2005, 08:52:17 AM

I don't think it was intentional, but it would be textbook psych-out style. Not only did he randomly post an enigmatic quote about the Hanover game, but he posted the halftime score, just because he knew that his intended audience could figure out the rest in their collective heads. Again, I don't think it was intentional, that would just be way too devious.

I'm 99% sure that WI IWU Fan's last statement is a 50/50 guess on about Martin's status as being 50/50 on whether he'll play or not. Understand?!

Well, I guess the front page answers the Martin question. I'll have to stand by my earlier prediction that Elmhurst will be in the pre-season top 25.

True Basketball Fan · September 01, 2005, 09:37:51 PM

I'd have to agree dansand. Elmhurst will most likely be a preseason top 25 team, and with the return of Martin will be a serious contender for the CCIW championship, even with all of the firepower that Wesleyan has. I can't wait for that matchup, I will definitely be in the stands at that game.
