WBB: Landmark Conference

[ronk]

Pretty dead in here...How was the weekend for those in attendance? Not much suspense with the games...

 Maybe half the student section filled Friday nite but they were largely mute; good crowd in the Byron for Shamrocking; down to about 20 students at the game Saturday nite; saw maybe a hundred along Mulberry street after the game celebrating after the parade.
 Wore my Scott Pilarz honorary shirt Friday nite; Fr Marina saw me in it and mentioned its significance to me.
 Watched the parade on TV; Eagles' defensive coordinator(and Dunmore native) Vic Fangio was the guest of honor. 11 pipe bands, sunny day in the 40s after starting with enough snow to cover my car; melted by 10 AM.

Dave McHugh you nailed it,I saw that on twitter about the NYU coach saying they have the facilities to host both events(even though it was the womens rights in the odd years to host the first weekend and has been a staple for years)The thing that hit home was some of the same guys that you have on your show agreed with him.SMH.These schools should be in D1 then not D3 with the enrollments they have(Just my thought).Gurantee Quinn set the record straight with him. Again great job Dave explaining why it will never happen and should never happen.

Yes

[NEPAFAN]

Travel safe. Maybe you can pick up some Hopkins fans on your way up.

[ronk]

 Will actually be driving by the Gettysburg sectional(Final 4 semi matchup) on the way.

[saratoga]

Gettysburg is on Spring Break as well.
There should be no breaks during March madness.

Thanks Ronk-I went on the ECAC web. I didnt know you needed to be a member and pay a membership to be part of the ECAC tournament. It is like $1200 dollars is this right?

[Pat Coleman]

You have to be a member of the NCAA and pay your member dues to qualify for the NCAA Tournament.
You have to be a member of the Landmark Conference and pay your member dues to qualify for the Landmark Conference tournament.

Seems like a logical thing that the ECAC would also have requirements.

Well that explains why they only  have 15 to 20 members on the womens side then!Not sure how many on the men?

I think everybody matches up pretty favorably for you until the Final Four!
