The cool thing is, I can smite bigflo21, but he can't smite me! lol.

Advantage:  Old School 

*though everyone knows, I could care less about karma points

[bigflo21]

At 200 posts, you will get applaud/smite buttons.  I don't know what the cut-off point is for All-American (2000?)

Unless you go crazy on posting, Old School could send you to -200 before you could retaliate!

Better play nice!

Bigflo,

The more stars you have under the name, the less of a life you have OUTSIDE of D3hoops.  (JK OS  )

In other words, it's based on the number of posts.   

Hey, PS, I resemble that remark!

And I resemble it almost as much as Ypsi!!!

Uh, you sure you aren't mixing up your sports? lol.  I'll take a look see and post my predictions, though I'll probably be WAY OFF like you! 

Bigflo21,

Have comfort that I'm not going to waste my time smiting you, or anyone else for that matter.  If you want to smite me when you are eligible, more power to you.

This PROBABLY has been discussed.... but are they going to do two divisions, or just have a large 11 conference, declaring one conf champ?

It'll be interesting for me to see how the dynamics of this conference mix themselves together.  There are certainly historical rivals from the old conferences, but I'm looking forward to seeing what new rivalries will blossom.

[Greek Tragedy]

With 11 teams in the conference (MSOE is not a member this year) they play an unbalanced schedule (YUCK, YUCK, YUCK).  Probably have divisions next year when MSOE rejoins.

Here is Lakeland's schedule and it shows them playing 18 conference games.  Cool.

Also of note, the Point game got switched to Jan. 8th.  It used to be Saturday, Nov. 25th, the day after Lakeland plays La Crosse, but it got switched for some reason.  Like last year, Point, Lakeland, Ripon and La Crosse play on opposite nights (Point v Ripon, La Crosse v Lakeland and then vice versa the following night).  Anyway, not sure why that was changed.  It's updated on the Point website as well.  Ummm.

*correction...my bad.  They play Edgewood (H) and Dominican (A) just once.  I would've thought they would play Edgewood twice, and maybe Dominican twice to keep the LMC rivalry (not really Dominican though).

I can't be positive on the men's side, but there is plenty of talk to now going to divisions on the women's side. It's what they should have done in the first place (imo).

1. WLC
2. Dominican...
3.  Everyone else.....

I guess the only important one to know is the first one.  However, all those who read this post beware and think long and hard about what you will say in response to what I have written.  For those that have doubted me in the past need only look back one calander year and remember that what Busty says more often then not comes to truth. 

bigflo-  I remember your points and some of your "talent", however, what good did scoring 40 pts get you at the REX,  a conference title?  Hmmm, in my book there usually is only one stat that matters...a big W.    Thanks for playing

-why did all my post history get erased, I was at least a starter......

[Pat Coleman]

Uhh, you re-registered. What did you think would happen?

[bigflo21]

WLC got lucky to win that title and will never win it again even if the same teams play each other 10 more times.
Anyway, I will pick either Rockford or Aurora for the first place.

Scoring 40pts on you at the REX helped me getting a job playing basket ball. Thanks to you I am a pro now.

I agree with you on WLC being lucky. I attended that game live, and I was surprised the Edgewood squad came out as flat as it did that day. (Maybe the win over Lakeland took too much out of them--) As it was, it wasn't exactly a shooting clinic by either team. The Warriors just hit several clutch shots toward the end of that game.

big flo 21:

Had it been MSOE against Hope, I think you would have at least made a better showing (especially if you had taller guards and any one on the front line taller than 6'8". The way Hope came out shooting against WLC in that first round game, very few teams would have beat them that night.)
