3. MSOE has only three starters.

They'd probably be better if they started five guys.  :D


:o ??? :-\ :-[

WOW Old School, I think they should deduct Karma Points for that one.  Geesh.  I mean, I understand that things are a bit quiet in here and you wanted to lighten the mood, but come on.  We go from having Pat himself ripping on the NAC (Northeren Athletic Conference) to a cheezy comment like that?  Im at a loss for words how bad that is.



This Weekend in the LMC,

WLC vs. MSOE (the initals battle)  WLC will upset MSOE to help out the Fish.  I have faith in the Warriors.  To Hagel "YOU CAN DO IT" 

WLC      95
MSOE    89       <<<barn burner at the REX

EC vs. UW-SP   Point is having an off year, but has a shot at coming back to win the WIAC conference tourney.  A soft EC team will not contend. 

EC            58
UWSP       79    <<<no edgedome problems for UWSP

CUW vs. ???  Whomever it may be, I'll still take the field. 

CUW        55
????        more that 55

LC vs. DU   The Fish went down to Chi-Town and took care of business earlier this year.  The "Tank" has been very unfriendly to opponents this season, and look for that trend to continue as the Muskies dominance continues. 

LC      71
DU      54

The Way

The Way I See It,

That was a great one liner Old School. Despite Warrior_Fish and his sincere hate for it, I enjoyed the dry humor. The board needs that every once in a while. I think we sometimes get so entwined with leaving smart and meaninful comments that we forget to talk to that inner-child that each of us has.

But on the same token, you also make a very good point. If MSOE is in fact starting only 3 players, I would think they would want to make the change to 5 down the stretch. Forget all that talk I made earlier about Mikos committing so many turnovers. I guess i didn't realize he was getting triple teamed with lilterally no outlets to throw the ball to.

And i also predict MSOE will win over WLC regardless of how many they start. WLC has shown over the last week the team they really are instead of the team they were pretending to be. It was embarrassing to watch the amount of complaining that went on in that game last week at Lakeland by the WLC players and coaching staff. I mean sure, 2 of the 3 stooges were reffing the game, but at some point you have to shut your yappers and just play the game. Both teams were getting the same calls. And plus MSOE doesn't really get spooked by the REX. I look for them to win going away.

And that my good friends....is The Way I See It.

Almight "THE WAY"

Inner Child?  Psyc major anyone???  Come on, you can't pass of a desert dry comment like that as talking to the inner child. 

Mikos not having anyone to pass the ball too? ???  I thought that Floyd was the answer to all of MSOE's problems in that department.  Now, what you are telling me is Mikos is the teams only threat?   Is that just a shamless ploys to try and say you vote for Milos as POY???   
--
Yes Skip did complain a lot durring the first half of the game at LC.  Have you listned to Miller or Larson lately?  I have heard a lot more complaining from them over the years than Skip.  Granted, it may have been a ploy to try and get his players into the game and amped up to upset in the Tank, but seriously...

WLC is the team this year that can and will play spoiler.  They did it to LC at the REX and have been known to upset teams with their minds on that next game.  I think MSOE is looking at that game on tuesday and not thinking about the up-and-down Warriors.   I again think WLC in a high scoring spoiler. 

PEACE

I think both MSOE and Lakeland are vulnerable for upsets given the opponents at hand. Just because Lakeland has been playing great ball lately doesn't make them immune to being the ones looking ahead.

Even with that possibility, with the coaches and players on the team, I don't think that's the case. I like LC with a 10-point win.

As for MSOE and WLC, I think this game will be close, but MSOE pulls it out in the end. I don't think WLC has got the drive to play all 40 minutes. They didn't against LC, and basically mailed it in once it seemed even close to hopeless.

I dont think they need to justify mikos or floyd biyahsomething being the reason for MSOE's success or being top candidates for player of the year. If you have seen MSOE play you would see that Mikos is probably going to get the votes from coaches as he is better.

I dont think that is a given. If lakeland whoops their ass twice, i dont think either floyd or mikos should get it.

my picks:
UWSP 86
Edgewood 56

Dom vs Lakeland -- I think this is the only possible upset game this weekend...still lakeland wins 73-64.

p.s. MSOE whoops up on WLC by 15 -- 85-70

The Way I See It,

Warrior_Fish,

You need to focus more on your SID duties than you do your posting duties. Let me explain my comment about Mikos to you so that you understand. A previous poster had said they only start 3 people. Old School said they would be better off starting 5. I laughed at that and took it a step further. I SARCASTICALLY stated that must be the reason Mikos doesn't have anybody to throw to if they are only starting 3 people. I am sorry that this went over the top of your head. From now on i will spell things out for you.

And don't even get me started on you defending WLC. Remember, you are at Lakeland now...not WLC. Since you sit at the scorer's table, you should know that the amount of complaining in that game was terrible. It wasn't just one or two calls,,,,it was EVERY call.  I have been associated with many WLC games and this was by far the worst as far as complaining.

And remember Warrior_Fish, I am a Muskie fan. No need for there to be a ripple between us.

With that said,

LC, MSOE , Point will all get wins. I could care less about the other games.
And that my good friends....is The Way I See It.

Agreed.  ;D

Point's not winning by 30.  They don't have two All-Americans on their team anymore.  They might win by 15 and it could easily be a lot closer.  Their defense is a shadow of what it was last year and they sometimes have issues scoring.  Edgewood has played better recently, coming from 19 down to win, so it'll be a lot closer than you might think.  All because it's a WIAC team vs. an LMC team doesn't mean it's going to be a blowout.  :-[

Edgewood probably has a better chance of upsetting Point than Dominican does to Lakeland.

Well i may have let my emotions get the better of me(not a big edgewood fan and grew up going to point games). WW only beat marian by 20...even though it was a total blowout and could have been 40.  Point did beat UWEC by 20something recently. Since it is at edgewood and 30 was a little out of control,  i am going to change the score to UWSP 73 - Edgewood 56.

Bust Ya'll

Well I appreciate the support Mitch maybe a steak dinner would be a worthy "thank you."  With the little respect that WLC gets in the LMC its nice to get a fresh breath of air. 
I seriously dont know why everyone just despises WLC, they really do have a team of raw talent it just never fires on the same piston, but when it does...well just ask Lakeland.  I guess the beatings we gave the conference back in the apex of our power had emotionally scarred everyone involved, the best comparison would be to relate it to a dad beating his child (theres some more psych for you guys).  Well, those times have long since past and we now have a wild unpredictable LMC.  Lakeland is good, but the teams from Concordia, MSOE, Edgewood, WLC, and Dominican are all within the same talent spectrum.  With that said...look for a WLC win tomorrow.  You guys are right, MSOE isn't spooked by the REX, they are TERRIFIED!  SORRY BOUT IT!
Bust Ya'll

And one more point to make-  All that crap about the players complaining too much, what a bunch of hypocrites you guys are.  Everytime I pull that stunt I get ten guys to jump on my post about how I'm just being a sore fan.  Its sad that even though you won, you still find it neccessary to kick a dog while its down.  But hey, we are WLC, the discrimination comes with the job.

I can't believe the LMC got a headline over the WIAC and Midwest.

Could the LMC get its first NCAA tournament win this season?

Would anyone be kind enough to tell me how to get to the EdgeDome from the beltline?  I know there is an "Edgewood exit" but not sure if the gyme is near the college.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry Warrior_Fish,,,,I know you are not the SID. I got carried away in my earlier post. I apologize for misinforming people.

Now on to Busty. I don't know what you are looking for with that last post. In my response about the WLC players, I basically said they were absolute babies and it was embarrassing to watch. I don't know how you can say that i am a hypocrite for saying that when i have said that all along. There are two ways to respond when the officiating is bad....they obviously choose the lesser of the two more often.
And that my good friends....is The Way I See It.

I think Busty is saying, in general, when [he] has bitched about the reffing, and to a lesser extent, the players complaining, he's gotten jumped on pretty bad.  In the most recent case, posters have actually agreed, instead of criticizing the said poster for ripping the refs.  I think that's what Mr. Busty is trying to point out.

That's neither here or there since I have no dog in this particular fight.

The Way I See It,

Point taken Old School. I see where you are coming from with that.
Watch out down at the Edgedome today. One wrong step in that underground space they call a gym and you may not make it out. Let us know the outcome. I am interested to hear how the Eagles respond to the task at hand.
