Soooo....did Catholic even play tonight?

[Matt Letourneau]

Apparently not.

Scranton over Goucher, 61-54.

[saratoga]

Wow...the Royals finally get a win on the road. Not too shabby considering all the little things that could have ended up as a distraction. In addition, the fighting Gophers were starting to play some decent ball themselves. All things considered, a very good night for the Royals. Well done!

[Pat Coleman]

Apparently not.

Yeah, hard to tell the way that the home team doesn't seem to care to update its own Web site.

First things first. While we have not gotten a flake of snow yet up here in Scranton, I wish all the best to everyone who has seen more than enough of the white stuff. I have fmaily in the greater DC area, and I wish all the best to everyone for a safe, happy, and warm snowstorm experience 

Now, I don't have any active participation in this league- never did, in fact. But if someone wants to rip on our buddy "d-mac" then I need to chip in with my own two cents. I spent four outstanding years in a role very simlar to his, in two different sports...only difference was I was behind the video camera, rather than the microphone. But it is that work which makes the game possible- a good announcer can make or break the difference betwene a good game and a great game for me. I must say that the Marts Center had one of the best in Mike Frantz, until he and his wife (my college advisor) left to pursue bigger and better things. But before anyone launches a tirade on the support guys, take a moment and try to appreciate some of the hard work that happens behind the scenes.

I have never met "d-mac" myself, in fact we never had a single contest against his school that I can remmeber in my four years in blue and gold. And if he is as immersed in that "like-minded" punchline as some people, he may think his alma mater is a cut or two above mine.....I really don't give a care on that point. But Dave, from one sideline dude to another, keep up the good work- it is appreciated by everyone in the gym on any given afternoon/evening.

Lastly, regarding live stats, I am suprised that the Landmark did not follow the lead of the MAC (as painful as that may be) and make live stats mandatory. I know the MAC has that rule for football, and I believe for men's and women's hoops as well. No doubt there are many talented, dedicated, harworking people in the SID offices at the member schools who can use it, so here's to the administration craking a bit of those $100 million endowments to buy a live stats system

[Pat Coleman]

The MAC should use the tools at its disposal to promote those mandatory live stats out to the national D-III audience.

  Royals played pretty well tonight; team defense was pretty good. Goucher had some aggressive post players which led to many fouls, but perimeter defense and double-teams were effective.
  Negatives were numerous unforced turnovers and failure to inbound to Zach(best foul shooter) in final minute; he even was passing it in instead of receiving it one of those times.
  Zach shot well and had 8 rebounds,also. Eli hit a big 3 when Goucher had closed to 6 with 8 min to go. Coach followed with a great timeout when Hawk was losing balance on sideline and saved a turnover.
  Couple of friends officiated the game, but I missed them afterwards and didn't get to discuss the game. Exchanged a few thoughts with Dmac-even got to see Dmac,Jr. Had to pass up the 3-pt halftime competition- still on injured reserve which kept  me from making the shot at Messiah 2 weeks ago.

susiddad -- I see you have returned to grind the same axes as last year.

Your act is tired, and this is your official warning. Continuing to grind your axe will result in your removal from the site of competition, so to speak.

sussiddad: Not sure why anyone would think it's a cheap shot to accurately portray something that I have said.

I believe he has issues with making it public. Probably a valid criticism.

Glad to hear we had a royal contingent at Goucher last night. Was there a Cold Case and DMac reconciliation?


I noticed Wynne has been out of the lineup for a while and Ed O'Connell is back with the team...maybe he compliments Hawk off the bench and the Royals keep the run going...

[susiddad]

Coleman, stick the Wisconsin boards.  

SU is far from a playoff lock and these suspensions scare me.  Lot of issues and lot of Freshman playing.  

If we are lucky enough to get into the playoffs, USMMA will destroy us again.  No chance.

Londo stinks. 15, 5, and 4 last night.

15 points
5 fouls
4 turnovers.

far from all conference.

[susiddad]

Thank you Nepa for the acknowledgement....I would concur.  Going public and stealing much needed karma points is a double penalty. 

Coleman comes off as pompus when discussing me on this board.

My opinions are satire, accurate, or just inferred.  No different from any poster, yet I have been called out multiple times for posts time and time again of the past.

Yet, if you would peak at the chatter here and the emergence of posters and loyalists from the schools that matter (except usmma), I make this board.  It is all about ME.

And 2 more blocks(conference leader) and 2 more steals and 1 hellacious in-your-face dunk on a spin move.
