Anyone able to clue us in as to why Cooper and Averkamp were MIA in Edewood's 65-60 loss in The Tank tonight?

Well Big_Uns,
A little bird told me that there were some evil shenanigans (no, not the resturant with the motzerella stix you like) going on and at least those two, if not one more were suspended for the game tonight. Someone needs to lock those guys up over new years.

On a better note, it has been so long since I have been on the winning end of an Edgewood game I have attended, I had forgotten how sore the EC fans get when they dont win. Geez. And who is that guy that sits in the stands behind Dr. G.? He should be hired as the next coach! He yells from the stands and then the entire coaching staff, (8 including "scouts") starts shouting the exact same thing. Now, what is more efficient? 1 guy or 8 coaches? Must be nice to have those kinds of funds.

A lackluster preformance from the Fish tonight in the Tank, but EC without Cooper or Avercamp was not able to overcome the power of the Moose.

Matt Rogers for ROY in the LMC!! Been a long time since this conference has seen a player that can take it to the hole like that, as a freshman. And if Avercamp won it last year and sat out all those games after running into Zeck's arm, Rogers should win hands down.

And Bust Ya'll, no mailbox number, just mail it to the PO BOX. And dont think I wont wear that size small shirt to games either. Heck, I might wash it and shrink it first!

PEACE and remember "GO BIG OR GO HOME"

And see, here I thought you were only good for dropping unnecessary Super Troopers quotes into your posts. What insightful information. Thanks, fish.

Don't make me pistol whip you guys!

jgatz33 · January 04, 2006, 05:12:14 PM

Old School, way to chime! and that face!

perfect

Big Uns, looks like when school goes on vacation, everyone else goes home to the land where internet is not available. Amazing how that happens. Geesh. Good thing we are here to keep the "clones" (a poor attempt at Jim Rome somthing) informed.

PEACE

Or we just have nobody to argue with because WLC got *ahem* shall we say "BUSTED" by MSOE the other night.

*DING DING DING* I think we have a winner. Lets hope that the WLC fans dont just give up posting even though the Warriors are MIA.

The Way I See It,

Avercamp wasn't suspended. He did run from the cops on New Year's Eve. Larson found this out and was worried that he might get overworked seeing as how running from the cops was more running than he had done all year. He kept him out as a precaution.

We also might have witnessed the last of Busta' Ryhmes for the year seeing as how his Warriors will no longer be spitting out any tunes.

But props to my Gilled friends down at the Tank. It is not often a team can sweep the season series from Edgewood. I can't wait till the showdowns with MSOE near the end of the schedule. Keep those fins moving and you'll swim yourselves to the Big Pond (a.k.a. NCAA Tournament).

And now if you will excuse me, it is my day to be the bingo caller at the local VFW!

the way is probably the dumbest poster on this site.......lakeland should watch out that they only beat a depleted edgewood team by 5......hate all you want on averkamp he leads the conference in rebounding and is a consistent offense player...id take him on my team....msoe is going to run away with the title

The Way I See It

Boy jgatz, you sure put me in my place. Maybe i should study up on things first before i post or just throw a bunch of stats out there to sound importmant.

First of all, Avercamp is overrated. So he leads the conference in rebounding,,,big deal. Edgewood was still able to outrebound Lakeland. So he is a consistent offensive threat (which he isn't as big a threat as you think)...once again big deal. They lost by 21 to Lakeland at Edgewood with him and lost by only 5 without him. He shoots 42% for a big man. That is just not going to cut it in the LMC where big men tend to shoot at or above 50%. He's gotten 18 foul calls in 12 games. That shows he isn't aggressive both on the offensive and defensive side of the ball (and don't feed me a line saying he is just in position everytime on defense so that is why he doesn't get any calls). He averages 1 assist in 30 minutes a game. You are telling me that he can only get 1 assist in a game for being such a consistent offensive threat???

I've played against and seen my share of big men in D3 college basketball as well as big men from Edgewood. He isn't close to a Steve Williams, Royce Malkowski, or even Craig Machut. So go ahead and take him on your team. Just let me sign a contract so that my team can get yours on the schedule.

And don't worry about Lakeland. They also lost to #7 Hope at Hope by 8 points. I think they are very capable of handling themselves.

They are definitely capable of it. The question really is will they actually handle themselves. I think in everyone's mind, they should have two more wins (over WLC and Rockford) but for whatever reason they didn't get the job done. It seems to me like they come to play for the big games (by beating UWSP and just falling to UWLAX and Hope) but seem to overlook the games they "should" win.

The other teams around the league have been just as confusing. Dominican seemed as if they were ready to compete in the LMC after the win over Aurora but have since sort of fizzled. I'm not sure even Edgewood understands what is happening to them. Concordia, WLC, and Marian all seem to be competing for that "At Least We're Not Maranatha" spot in the league.

I don't think there's any doubt that the winner of the LMC this year is going to be either MSOE or Lakeland. At this point in the season, something monumental is going to have to happen to shake that.

I think that just made you the dumbest poster on this site. Lakeland should watch out because they only won the game by 5? lol.

As posted, LC has to worry about the games they should win. That game they lost to WLC should never have happened. Brainfarts like that can cost you league championships. That Rockford loss really hurts, being it's in-region as well. Rockford lost to MSOE and Concordia AND Robert Morris-SPRINGFIELD, and they are horrible. When Lakeland hosts MSOE on Feb. 11, that will decide the regular season championship.

I'm not sure which team you're calling "horrible", OS, Rockford or RMC-Springfield, but you're off-base on either one. Rockford is 9-6 this season, and is currently in the midst of a six-game winning streak. RMC-Springfield is only 8-9, but they can claim a road win at Millikin, and their last two games were a five-point loss to Dordt (currently ranked #4 in NAIA-2) and a seven-point loss to a pretty good Loras team. They're not exactly world-beaters, but calling RMCS "horrible" is stretching the word beyond recognition.

Greek Tragedy · January 06, 2006, 01:40:05 PM

Yeah, a little harsh. I admittedly failed to mention I had Robert Morris-CHICAGO in my head as well, so kind of comparing those two schools, hence, capitalizing Springfield. Oh well. Regardless, jgatz33 is pretty dumb for criticizing a win by Lakeland!

jgatz33 · January 06, 2006, 08:06:17 PM

not criticizing a win by lakeland at all...they won the game that they should have and thats what title teams do....i agree with what you all said..just cant have brain farts like the unexplainable wlc loss.....lakeland msoe will be a dogfight of a game with the probable winner claiming the conference title barring a meltdown by either team(which i dont see happening)
