MBB: Landmark Conference

[NEPAFAN]

I saw him and the other `83 Royals at that reunion...and after talking to a few of them, they seemed to be a bit shocked that the gym was so empty during the Royals game.
No, it ain´t like the old times.
But sometime the old purple faithful have to realize that and get over it...

Why?

MoST is saying that we can look forward to Landmark Conference titles , but the Royals aren't going to be showing up on the National scene any time soon.

NEPAFAN,

In my very casual browsing of this site in the off-season, I feel that in the best interest of historical records, I should point out you've made a slight error in your listing of championships won by the Royals. That last Freedom Conference title came in 2006, not 2007, as you have mentioned. The MAC-F Championship in 2007 was won by King's over DeSales, after the Bulldogs won the last MAC-F game played in the Long Center a few days earlier.....

How do I remember that, you may ask? I was the manager/video guy for that team the Royals beat for the 2006 title....still stings to remember, although the following football season made up for it a great deal.

So even with those SAT scores they always chant about during games, I suppose even the Royals are prone to an error in the stats  Have a good one everyone!

Fixed. Good catch.

How many Championships does Wilkes have in those years?

NEPAFAN,

Glad I could help  As much as it stung to be on the losing end, '06 was an instant classic and something great to be a part of. 

As for the championships, you know the answer to that, no need to rub it in  Still, I was part of some very good teams that won a slew of good games, as were your boys in the purple, white and  that terribly ugly black that was added a few years back And in my case, I was a part of some very good teams on the gridiron as well.

Again, cheers to the joys of D3 sports in Northeast PA

Scranton's schedule has been up for about a month now... however, I'm only counting 24 games listed. Since they can play 25, I'm wondering if they are still waiting on a contract from the Houdini School of Magic, Rosemont or FDU Stone Harbor to finalize one amazing & certainly one of the Top 500 schedules in DIII.
  Word has it that advance sales for the Penn Tech game are moving rather briskly & there are only approx. 2,750 left.

  Please, not Rosemont- I haven't gotten over losing to Marywood and Miseri in the same season 5 years ago, let alone Chestnut Hill, more recently.

WHY??

You know why!


Any chance that Wilkes is the 25th game on the schedule? As you can tell I miss the trash talk since the move to the Landmine, I mean Landmark!

Ronk.....didn't you lose to Miseri last year?  Also, if I remember correctly, since losing to Marywood the U has refused to play them again unless its at the Long Center.  Won't drive across town to play?

Across town? Last I checked, Marywood was in Dunmore.

So Scranton schedules cupcakes, but is afraid of Marywood??

  There have been far too many losses to teams in recent years that just shouldn't have happened. Two such games from the "New Era" in Royal's history that will go down as "did I just see that" are...
  Losing as Ronk stated to Chestnut Hill in their own Radisson Invitational. At the time, the Hill had a record of about 1-12 prior to the new & improved Royal's providing them win # 2 and the number 1 game as far as having lasting implications that are still felt to this day...losing at the Long Center to Marywood on a 40' bank shot at the buzzer.
  Not sure why Scranton hasn't played the Pacers since the "shot heard around the Electric City"...but, if I only had one guess...
  First fan to correctly identify Scranton's mystery "25th. opponent" wins 50 wings from Kelly's & all that's needed to wash em down. as well as 750 tickets to the Scranton/Penn. St. Hazleton game.

Yes, across town to Dunmore.  You get the point.

What would your guess be if you had only one guess?

25th opponent.............Johnson College?
