I truthfully thought for a moment that Killer Queen was the pseudonym that you chose for your wife. When I realized that it was a band, I had to google them to find out they are a Queen Tribute band.

I thought it was his buddy Swampgoon's out-of-town girlfriend.

We've got a Baldwin Wallace fan or two over on the football boards. Killer Queen would probably be a more appropriate moniker for a yellow jacket. Or a hornet? Any K College fans around these days?

WUPHF already knew the answer to his question. We discussed this off-board previously. He was just trying put me on the spot! The tribute band was pretty good...again, making me realize how many Queen songs I didn't know.

I'll be sure to inform Swampgoon. He's married now, so hopefully he still doesn't have that out-of-town girlfriend anymore.

Trine's MBB 2022-23 schedule is up:

https://www.trinethunder.com/sports/mbkb/2022-23/schedule

11 non-conference games, 6 home, 5 away.  Several are re-matches from last year:  Manchester, Benedictine, Anderson, UW Stevens Point, UW La Crosse, Mount St Joseph and Baldwin Wallace.  4 newcomers are Earlham, Rose-Hulman, Capital and Lawrence.  Not quite as robust as last year's non-conference schedule but still challenging for a team with lots of unknowns going into this season.

Pretty sure its last years league schedule with reversed locations.

Yep. Looks that way. I changed them all to reflect as much... I just couldn't figure out when and where Olivet and Kzoo were supposed to play last season....

Albion posted their schedule with some TBAs for tournaments.

Albion posted their schedule with some TBAs for tournaments.

The Dec 17/18 games at Trine would be  Lawrence and Mt. St. Joseph


PSU-Altoona and LaRoche could be sneaky good games.  Albion should get good SOS value out of those two

Unless part of Holmes, McAbee, Barnes, and Garland are coming back for a 5th year of eligibility, I have a hard time picturing Albion's SOS coming into play much this season...

Per trinethunder.com former Trine assistant mens basketball coach then Adrian head basketball coach Kyle Lindsay has been re-hired as an assistant coach at Trine.  He replaces Drew Lehman on the Thunder staff.  I find it sort of odd that Kyle is coming back to Trine, but he and Brooks have been friends for a long long time.

He may simply be securing a gig for the coming school year. We're at a pretty late stage in the normal hiring cycle as far as college basketball head coaches are concerned; pickings are pretty slim once schools have let out for the summer.

Looks like he bolted on a HS head coaching gig he accepted in April. Always nice when coaches commit to kids and then bolt two months later... (and people get pissed at kids in the transfer portal #smdh)
