FB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

I hear there may be a D3football poster's party at Hooter's already in the planning stages.

Then that's where you ought to get a room Friday night.  There are several places down the street towards the Civic Center.

I was kinda hoping for a triple-overtime game on Friday night and then I could just stay there 'til dawn. The commercials say, "we always have the cheerleaders."

I'm in!  Jacketlawyer, I got a chance to enjoy the Stone Station food on October 14 and let me tell you, it's good!

I've wanted to hang at Stone Station since I started reading about it a while back!!   I'd try to attend the R-M version of it this year in Ashland, if I wasn't off to DC for business.

But I'm old fashioned, and will wait for an invitation. . . even though this posting could easily be construed as shameless groveling for same. . .

You are a veteran poster Jacketlawyer. You know you don't need an invitation to come to Stone Station, everyone is welcome! Not to mention at the Stagg we are all on the same team, The ODAC team. Here is your formal invite. Heck if you can make it up on Friday night I hear there may be a D3football poster's party at Hooter's already in the planning stages.

Many thanks, Llamaguy, I will accept, and I'll mark it down on my calendar.  Might have to show up for Hooter's party, especially since we're not allowed to have Hooter's here in L'burg! 8)

FYI, I'm still discussing this issue NOT to drag Guilford through the mud or because I think Bridgewater should or can still get the GC-BC game forfeited.  I just think it's a facinating case that's worth discussing.  That's why I'd like to hear the ODAC and/or NCAA's reasoning for not taking action.

I do appreciate that and I also think it's fascinating.  Consider this scenario:  

1.  BC wins out and was also awarded a forfeit to finish 5-1.
2.  W&L beats E&H to finish 5-1.
3.  BC would be the champ by virtue of their win over the Generals.

What a dilemma.  Don't tell me that wouldn't cause an uproar in Lexington!

Catholic going from 2-8 to 3-7 with a forfeit win is a little different from BC going from 6-2 to 7-1 with two weeks to go.  Sure, we wouldn't feel right about it (seeing we got it handed to us on the field), but the kid was the third-leading tackler on the team in the game - so he certainly played a part.

The only difference there is in the record of the teams. Regardless of your team's record, you shouldn't want to accept a foreit win. How many times have people heard, "one person doesn't win or lose a game...its a team effort." I think that applies in situations like this. Giving a team a loss because of the inappropriate actions of one player isn't right. The NCAA might decide to give Guilford's opponents a win on paper, but my point is that it doesn't matter. BC knows they got beat, and its not because Guilford was cheating. They were playing by the rules as far as they knew, and its not like it was an issue that affected more than one player.

I kind of agree with you.  And if we were awarded a forefit win it would be bittersweet at best.  But, somehow I think opinions would be a lot different if Bridgewater were the team using an ineligible player who was making an impact in games that we were winning.  I know that's somewhat of an unfair speculation, but I just don't think we could (or would) get away with it.  At least not on this message board.........

Whether we admit it or not (and btw., I admit it....) that scenario has been in the back of every BC fans mind since the story broke.

I too don't understand why it is not reported by other news outlets like this website. I do not think it is about the game more then it is about the principle of the issue. I understand that Guilford has a good record with the NCAA and that the game is won and lost on the field, but I think it is more about principle. Either you broke the rules or abided by them.

There's a party hound lawyer I know
Who asked where's the best place to go?
Someone said Hooters
Has cold beer and shooters
But not here - Reverend Falwell says no!

Hey, your right. I hadn't thought about that.  I may have to start raising a ruckus about this situation.

And for the record, I didn't take those pictures.  They're from the HootersofRoanoke.com web site.

Sure Kid, you been playing with those stored cellphone pix again haven't you?  My how we digress! After that post I may have to go down and do a pre-party look over of the facilities. Wait I already did that after the Ferrum game in September. The brunetts are better! Guess you will just have to take my word for it or come see for yourself.

You are starting to remind me of Tyler Durdin in "Fight Club"

Are you attending the self help classes after your 20 hour work day? Do you sleep?

I digress...........The Tampa Bay Hooters I went to.......it was just wrong
