MBB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[fishguy]

The official name of this new league is the Northern Athletics Conference - note the s on Athletics. Apparently the presidents of the schools really wanted that. Northern Athletics Conference is the official name.

Well then, it's obvious.  It has to be the NAsCon.

The team uniforms of NAsCon member schools will be covered in corporate logo patches, and instead of a horn sounding at the end of a game the refs will wave a checkered flag.

I think we've got a real marketing winner here.

I agree. It's a great story, and I'm impressed by Larry Welton's gesture. It was not only a classy recognition by Welton that the award would mean more to Will Landry's former teammate than it would to him, it was an honest statement on Welton's part -- Tony Bollier really did deserve the Landy Award, even though Wheaton lost to Aurora.

I'm neither a Wheaton fan nor an Aurora fan -- but I am now a Larry Welton fan.

As someone who is still emphatically a Larry Welton fan after the opening weeking this year, congrats to Larry for his All-American nod.

"Noack" is a common term in the transportation industry to indicate the condition of being out of radio range.  Really remote areas have long been known as "noack areas," although for all I know the erection of the billionth cellular tower may have eliminated the last noack area in North America (along with the last songbird. )

Since NoAC is a homonym for "noack," and is proposed to describe a conference of fairly remote schools, it may be a good fit. 

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Pat already told us NoAC was a no go, because it doesn't differentiate from the current NAC.

I think NAsCon is the best we're going to do.


By the way there are still plenty of "noack" zones in the flyovers, mostly in the Northern Plains and Rocky Mountains.

Good bye D3hoops and LMC 
I will miss upsetting people with my ignorance and cocky swagger.  Spouting out baseless facts from my mind instead of reliable stats.  'Tis a pitty,

If you want to know the real Bust Ya'll go to wlc.edu and check out the football roster #80 and if you're too lazy my facebook name is Eric Henne and I got a picture for the LMC on it.  (I figure you earned it after 4 yrs of my crap)

PEACE OUT LMC
sorry bout it,
Busty

Are you retiring?  All because you're done with school doesn't mean you can't post on d3hoops anymore!  What the heck?  The new conference page won't be the same without you. 

[Gregory Sager]

You've made me roll my eyes with your silly posts more often than I can count, Busty, but I give you props for identifying yourself like that. Most posters of a trash-talk bent don't have the stones to go the full-disclosure route.

I don't see why you have to give up posting, though. I've never understood student posters who say, "Well, I'm graduating now, so bye-bye forever to Posting Up." Why should being an alumnus rather than a student stop you from contributing? In fact, I'm almost certain that there's more alumni that post in the various rooms than students.

So, according to the article, it's the Northern Athletics Conference... 

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Right, the NAsCon.

[Greek Tragedy]

Right, the NAsCon.

Is that a department of NASA or a level of defcon?
