Hey Andersdy -- Nothing like giving scouting reports to the enemy!  What are ya, goofy?

[Greek Tragedy]

Congrats to all of the players and coaches who received all-conference awards.

Special congrats to the Lakeland guys who swept Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year and Coach of the year.  Too bad they are done playing.

The game tape from the Lakeland-Hope game can be found at the bottom of the Autumn Hills Landfill near Drenthe, MI.

This is in an attempt to protect all future hoopers from ever witnessing the ugliest basketball ever played in the West Michigan area.

That game will tell you nothing about Hope or Lakeland but expescially will tell you nothing about how to play good basketball.

Like it's actually going to matter. His scouting report pretty much told me all I need to know about this game: WLC is overmatched BIG TIME.

If the WLC coaching staff isn't good enough to pick up more information than that on their own, then I'm sure we wouldn't have to worry about them beating us anyway. Other than maybe suggesting they find the tape of the first half of the last regular season game with Tri-State (I'm sure if they don't have it yet, it's too late now) to see how to give Hope fits, I can't imagine they haven't figured out more than I gave them on their own.

I guess I'll have to lie low and take all the blame if WLC pulls it out tonight though.

Hey Busty?  What's this talk about WLC winning the "league."

Well, they did win the tournament....maybe Lakeland had more wins, but that just means they started strong and finished weak.  A race is not won by someone who is in first most of the time, but by the guy that crosses the finish line first.  Think about that, that one is free of charge.  Besides, Edgewood and WLC were the only LMC teams to beat Lakeland this year, so its only right that one of us goes to the tourney. 

I guess we should all bow down to mighty WLC for "bringin it" for two weeks of this whole season.

Yes I would like that actually

Lakeland did play a tough game against Hope, no doubt about that. It was, however, the aboslute worst game played this year by the Dutchmen. Some of the credit for that goes to Lakeland's defense, but I think if they play 10 times, Hope wins all 10 by an average of 15. Just my opinion.

And you are of course entitled to your opinion after invading the LMC board and talking trash about my conference.  However, I still think that WLC will put up a fight.  Can you guys gaurd the 3?  Once again, I'll play the ignorant card: How do you guys even play over there.  I picture a bunch of farmboys with a dependency on the post and crisp passes.  Like the Hoisers.  Well lets just hope that this fridays game wont have a Hollywood Hope ending.
Bust Ya'll

I'm sure the Hope defense is nothing like the Hack-a-Shack method WLC is used to...

Final score from Holland, MI:

Dependent Farmboys 93
Wisconsin Lutheran 51

Re: Playing the ignorant card: Always a good idea to lead with your best suit, Busty.

My personal favorite quote from bust yall  "Can you guys gaurd the 3? "     uh yeah  WLU 6-25 from beyond 3.

Love your boastfullness and full support you give busty.  But the Warriors wouldn't beat Hope in a 10 games series once.

Congrats to WLU on makeing the tournament.

[Greek Tragedy]

Congrats to WLU on makeing the tournament.

Wisconsin Lutheran is a College, not a University.    WLC, not WLU. 

Wow...42 point blowout.  ouch.  Oh well. 

[fishguy]

And the Lake Michigan Conference goes out with a wimper ... Good-bye LMC, and good riddance.

[from downtown]

It would have been interesting to see if Lakeland could have done something in the NCAAs. They deserved to have the chance but oh well, congrats to WLC and the sixth man on a great tourney run. Congrats to James on POY. And good bye to the LMC.

My question now is...When do we start a NAC board?

[Big_Uns]

Too early for next year? Never.

The board for the new Northern Athletic Conference. I hope this didn't need Pat's approval. 

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

So who's in the NAC?  Actually, we're going to have to come up with another acronym for it, because the North Atlantic Conference already has dibs on NAC.  May I suggest the NoAC?
