Cold Case is a legend and will be missed. Never forget when he broke the Paul Hawk commitment on this site.

Pat this isn't meant to be negative, but a better New Year's Resolution would be to just not let these things bother you so much.  I used to let every miniscule thing bother me, but then a Manager taught me two of the greatest words in the English language: "Rise Above." 

And Nepa youre right, he will be missed.  Good luck to the Royals the rest of the way.
Go ahead and hate your neighbor, Go ahead and cheat a friend. Do it in the name of Heaven, You can justify it in the end. There won't be any trumpets blowing Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

No doubt, but I tried that for, literally, years, and this particular poster did not change his ways or his attitude.

First Augie & now the Case of Cold ones...the Royals are doomed!  ???

 Augie can still be heard during Royals' broadcasts-I heard a 'Are you kidding me?' that could only be Augie over the airwaves a few games ago.

We all know this site is Anti-Scranton.



Saratoga did I see you in the crowd at Martz center? Very funny video, Wilkes side erupts and then 2 seconds later the Scranton side erupts in victory.


The Royals are due in Huntindon (spelling) , let's see what they do.

There's too many of you, NEPA, gotta give the rest of us a chance to catch up.  ;D

Pat Coleman

Meh -- we're not anti-Scranton. Once upon a time we were accused of being biased in favor of Scranton by the Wilkes crowd. It's all a matter of perception. :)

That was tongue in cheek. Scranton and Susquehanna with wins so far today!

NEPA:
Not at the Scranton/Wilkes game...just not the same anymore.
Is it just me or do Coach Rickroad & Shovelin look like twins these days?
Probably around the same age...who knows.
Big win on the road today at Juniata.
Just checked the CUA game & they are taking care of business at home vs. MMA...something the Royals did not do.

Goucher leading Moravian early....

Might be a harder trip -- I'm sure we've all driven NJ Turnpike/95 and not had a lot of fun doing it.

Fond memories of 95 just south of Baltimore several summers back...over 2 hours to get beyond Washington.
A trip that some days may take 45 minutes.
Perhaps they did leave their game on the bus.
Personally, not a fan of the Wednesday/Saturday format being used this year in the Landmark.
Much preferred seeing both the men & women play the same day/night & come right back the next day.
Beyond this season, any idea how long this format will be experimented with?

Speaking of the possible effects of a road trip to the Baltimore/DC area...Moravian loses at Goucher.
When was the last time the Gophers started conference play at 2-0?
And...their first win was at MMA, generally not an easy place to win.

Catholic ended up winning 74-57...struggled in a few aspects of the game (rebounding, bench) but forced a lot of turnovers and once again shot well from beyond the arc. 

I'm biased because I was used to Wed-Sat with the CAC, but I like the format a LOT better.  Yes, I know in the NCAA tournament you have to be able to win back to back games.  But on a week to week basis, I really thought it skewed results and punished the better teams in the league.  It was very hard to win that second road game in a row.  I think with this schedule, we're going to get a more accurate result and it should help improve the chances of getting two teams into the tournament.  Also, to the extent it matters (debatable), its much more fan-friendly...students are more likely to come out to the weeknight games, and other fans don't have to give up back to back weekend days to see their team play.


The Catholic men's and women's basketball teams are a combined 24-1 so far.  Nice to see the evolution in the women's program over the fast few years.
