D3 Championship Belt

[Gregory Sager]

Up next... UW La Crosse travels to Devos Fieldhouse for a crack at The Belt^TM.

The question is will Stryker and/or the Maroon Platoon make the 430 mile drive, as well?

Is that 430 miles with the ferry or without?

If this is a super old reference to a post of mine about a magic ferry from over 10 years ago, God bless.

Those magic ferry references have an honored place in the MIAA Hall of Supersweetness.

Is that 430 miles with the ferry or without?

Alas, both the SS Badger (Manatowoc to Ludington) and the Lake Express (Milwaukee to Muskegon) are done for the season and will resume operation in the spring...

This is why the ferry became lore.  If only they'd run in the winter, things would've been a lot different back in the day.

... or It^TM hates Cleveland. I tend to lean towards the latter explanation. The Belt^TM is a highly-refined and discriminating entity.

From Saturday:  Hope 80 UW-LaCrosse 75


The Flying Dutchmen still have The Belt^Tm

The Pointers...

UW-Stevens Point 74  Hope 72

The Pointers will return to Wisconsin with their favorite accessory.  I think this makes the 6th time in their history that Stevens Point has captured the Belt^TM  Its also the 7th year and 3rd year in a row the Pointers have had the Belt^Tm at some point during the year.

In four days UWSP travels to St. Thomas where the Tommies will get their shot at reclaiming The Belt^Tm they started the year with.  More than likely The Belt will be staying in the Central Region this year if the Tommies don't win it back.

It's interesting how thus far in this still-young season The Belt^TM has gone into the WIAC, come back out again, and now has gone back in yet again. The Belt^TM is clearly doing the hokey-pokey with the state of Wisconsin.

The Tommies?

Completing the starting lineup ...





Not a lot of height for this year's Tommies.

Okay, I actually took the time to read through this entire thread over the last couple of days. This is "silly and pointless"... but damn it if I didn't have to contain my laughter reading through some of the stuff about The Belt^TM.

I also discovered that I can retroactively cross "Announce a game for The Belt^TM" off my Announcer Bucket List, because apparently I already did. After reading through the lore of The Belt^TM I can only conclude that my feeble mind was not ready to grasp the concept of such glorious baubles and gewgaws, and It^TM refused to reveal Itself^TM to me. But considering the sheer number of teams in D-III that have never even had a chance to play for It^TM I'm honored to have been in Its^TM presence, even unknowingly.

*crosses fingers that UWSP still has The Belt^TM when NCC plays them on 12/28 so the Cardinals can take It^TM*

I think this is the saddest sentence I have ever read.

Actually it would be much sadder if said in the Top 25 thread - this one is about something^TM truly entertaining

[AO]

Is it too early to note that if St. Thomas beats Stevens Point and the regular season ended tomorrow night, the Tommies would miss the MIAC playoffs and the belt™ would not go to the national champs?

Never too early. Always looking for that scenario.

Also, TRADEMARK!

I've got to give you credit. I came to this board when The Belt^TM was discussed on page 15. I only had to read thru 15 pages in a shorter period of time. You went thru the 105 pages in a couple of days. I've "invested" 8+ years reading the additional 90 pages. +1K
