FB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[Ralph Turner]

If Brevard is looking to move from D-2 to D-3, that is another school that could not make /did not like the transition to D-2.  Brevard was NAIA prior to this.


July 28,2008 press release


Provisional for D-3 starting in 2017-18.

Looking at the USA South...

I really don't understand the appeal of DII from NAIA unless you are in FL or Arizona or somewhere DIII has no hold.

I think that  most of the NAIA-Division 1 schools who have had "athletic" scholarshhips feel more comfortable moving to D-2 by appearance, when D-3 is more like the model that they "really" have.

+K for the articles. Good to know. I really think we need to get on the ODAC/SAA challenge if we can't find someone else to join.

Herman neutic?
Puerile?



I love the D3 message boards.  Calumny becomes a sesquipedarian's trove!   

Well, it was both descriptive and alliterative ...

+1!   

My bad!  Sesquipedalian!  With an "L".

My college band director would glare over his glasses at me for that error!

Prof Bynum, McMurry Band Director from 1946 to 1974, (a Hardin-Simmons grad to boot) supposedly had the first high school marching band in Texas at Abilene High School in 1926.  Always the showman, we had 12 aria trumpets that would march out onto the stage during Sousa's Stars and Stripes Forever.

He fancied himself as a "sesquipedalian" and would offer us a new word several times a week.

To get back to the ODAC I was thinking about Catholic leaving again and it sent a cold shiver down my spine. The only two leagues, remotely close to the ODAC, that will probably have open dates the 3rd or fourth week of the season are the Liberty League in NY and the SAA across the entire Southeast. The SAA loses Wash U and Chicago the same year we lose Catholic, going to 7, and the Liberty league also loses members dropping to I think 6 teams in a few years. Every other conference until you get to the MIAA or the Texas conferences will have started conference season by then. This is not good.

I know some of you are opposed to SVU, but all I can say is SVU's longest ODAC trip, to Guilford, would be an hour shorter than their shortest NJAC road trip, to Frostburg. Anyone want that week 11 bye week W&L had one year? Yeah, that's real helpful for a good season.

Maybe we can set up a Week 3 or Week 4 ODAC/SAA challenge. I call W&L and Birmingham Southern! But who draws the short straw to go to Hendrix or Millsaps? I bet Guilford, who tries not to go more than 10 miles from home, will just love those bus rides!

Emory used to play Millsaps back in the 90's.  Good times on the way down there on the bus.  The trip back was nonstop after playing in 100 degree weather with high humidity.  Lots of sleeping on the trip back.

Did you and Regaleagle watch the same game this past Saturday ?
Glad you are back and ok. Sounds like your Quakers are still hanging.
Hopefully HSC will be 4-1 coming into Greensboro, meaning that game
will be important to both teams. We must get by SU and BC for that to happen
which will not be easy, but certainly doable. W&L is in the drivers seat with wins
against GC an HSC. Minus a significant collapse the last 4 weeks, I see nobody
catching W&L. odac is crazy, not sure it is that crazy. as of today W&L is a huge favorite

tfa2 ... it would appear not. I promise, I was on the fifty the other side of the field.  My brother, who has a PhD and studied Divinity at Duke and Oxford in England, taught me a word that also applies here:  hermeneutics, people see or read the same thing and get completely different interpretations.  Quakers are prepping hard for every game, but realize they need help to be the ODAC champ ... c'est la vie.  In the last four games, GC has three at home (RMC, HSC and E&H) and CUA on the road.  Five and one after two home games and four road games is still good.  I agree, I hope a lot will be on the line when HSC visits on November 7.  I'm okay, just awfully busy with many things ... thanks for your concern and kind words.

Look Herman Neutic.   Saw it live saw it on film. The eye in the sky does not lie! It was a BS call. Besides that the guy who threw it was way out of position to see anything.

Well, gee, why didn't you say you saw it live AND on film?  I guess I have no choice but to concede!  Wait, so did I!  Purely puerile, eaglet.  Good luck this weekend.


Finally you acquiesce to the truth but calling me childish is just in bad taste especially with a P word. Don't be pithy, best of luck to you also.

Dang regaleagle, I thought I was the only one to beat a dead horse!  Let it go man. Let it go.

W&L opening a can on Bridgewater. A couple turnovers fueled a small Bridgewater run in the second quarter, but W&L has been almost unstoppable through 3 quarters. Bridgewater defense looks exhausted. 42-16 early in the fourth

[ODACInsider]

Do turnovers count? Do special teams yards and points count? Most people always use turnovers and special teams points as an excuse for better or worse. Same thing when someone scores with less than 3 minutes. Those points count as well.

Come on guys, hypothetically speaking of course and not fictionally speaking.

[jknezek]

What counts is the score at the end of the game. Everything else is justification or something we use to keep our motivation...

[ODACInsider]

JK,

I'll agree with that. In the end, that's all that matters.

[jknezek]

W&L finishes off Bridgewater 45-23. W&L's punter never saw the field and the offense ran up over 400 yards in total offense before the second QB came in for a couple drives in the 4th quarter. That was what I had hoped to see last week and what the Generals will need next week at E&H. Nice win Generals.

[jknezek]

I respect your opinion.  I will remind you that GC gave up over 600 yards to SU and respectfully the game against BC was a lot closer than you make it sound. I don't agree with regaleagle that BC won everywhere but the scoreboard. GC played better on special teams and had fewer turnovers. But it was like he said a very close game right until the end.

You were saying? H-SC gave up 531. Shenandoah's offense can put up huge numbers. Turnovers kill them though...
