MBB: Centennial Conference

[donho]

 Dave if you say you are coming in on route 64 to VWC you MUST go thru a tunnel. Unless of course you want to swim!

In 2008, Virginia Wesleyan was the defending D III champion.  Yet----they were seeded below Ursinus and had to travel to Collegeville.  They did so and did it with class even though they lost to the Bears.  I heard not one complaint before or after the game from their fans or players.  

Having said that, I really don't think the Dips (the team) are complaining either.   I hope they are concentrating on winning the next basketball game.

Warren -

Good luck to your Flying Dutchmen! If they win, who would they play next. Regards,

Eric

youre right gabriel.  not sure where you are going with it, but i havent heard one diplomat fan complaining on this board either. 

[diplomaniac1]

donho and d-mac -

Thanks for the traveling directions, information, advice, and suggestions. I can guarantee you that my fellow diplomat fan and navigator who is traveling with me will take it into consideration as we make the trek! Regards,

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

donho - in hindsight you are right... I just completely forgot about it! I never have had a problem traveling through the tunnel with any backup... so I never even think about it!

There is a tunnel... but I can't speak to the traffic .

[donho]

 No problem dave, anyone coming this way on friday at this time of year may likely hit a backup of about 30 minutes at the HRBT just outside of Norfolk. Once thru the bridge/tunnel you have about fifteen minutes to VWC.
Bridge tunnel is probably why you forgot tunnel Dave. You have a bridge then a tunnel followed by another bridge, therefore easy to forget tunnel.
  Safe travels.

I truly hope that the folks on here aren't saying that F&M have a nice gym!!! They have terrible parking, you must park across the busy road and walk a little distance.  And their facilities are awful, just awful!! I know people will bash me for saying this, but seriously, have you seen their locker rooms??? Pathetic at best! It must be 100 degrees, and takes 2 minutes of your halftime up just to get there. Then u get there and there is no white board/chalkboard to write on. The players have to sit on each others lap because of its tiny size. So they then send you to an old racquet ball court that they call a media room i guess. Then all u have to deal with is all of their office staff walking by and looking in the glass wall. And there isn't even a wall on the second floor, so anybody up there can hear you!!!
Yeah, it is a real shame they aren't hosting in that dump!! What is the NCAA thinking??

The doc is back after a day away traveling in Long Island on business and a computer virus.  Now to comment on the Centennial conference humor!

Bball2020-  You should go away on a long weekend with Pat Coleman based on the bias that you have for F&M.  What a shame- I feel so sorry for you and your staff and players.  Maybe we can get some rich alumnus to donate money so that the away facilities are better and so that the commish has a nice office to entertain on CC championship weekends.  Anyway, Lusty's point was about the possible attendance that can go into Mayser Center in Lancaster can outweigh many of the facilities that will be hosting like St. Mary's and Va Wesleyan.  I am sorry that away team facilities are more important to you than the crowd seeing the games. 

Coleman-  did you not tell me to bring up the past and yet you continue to bash Coach Robinson for his NCAA involvement in the 1990's.  HEED YOUR OWN ADVICE!  And what disrespect for the greatest coach in D3 basketball history!  Do you have an unbiased opinion at all or are you still getting checks from the NCAA D3 selection committee?  For the record, Lusty stumped you a great deal yesterday based on the NCAA rule book and facts.  Gotta hurt!

McHugh-  Thanks for the information on the trip down.  Can you fly me down there- it sounds like a pain in the butt to get down there.  I am not looking forward to the trip this weekend and I am sure the area is more boring than St. Mary's where I did not see a bar or convenience store for miles and miles.  Can I have your cell number so that I can call and laugh at you when I am stuck in traffic in the tunnel. 

Gabriel- what is your point? 

Doc will be around all day to diagnose the concerns on this board!

bball 2020, spoken like a true bitter Gettysburg fan.  The parking discussion is hilarious.  theres plenty of street parking within a block of Mayser, and if you park in the lots across hbg pike theres something called a traffic light to control the busy traffic.  Some advice bball, next year if you come to mayser, go to a thing called the crosswalk (its usually got white lines marking it).  then wait for a signal from a small yelllow box.  When that signal is white (color of gburg's home jerseys), that means walk.  When the signal is orange (color of gburg's road jerseys), that means dont walk.  Keep note though orange does not mean stop.  If you are already in said cross walk when the orange light comes on, simply complete crossing the street.

Nope. I get that you don't agree with the rule book or how it's used but this is how it happens. You shouldn't be surprised.

Just to clarify what I said:

And just so we're clear, I'm not accusing anything, just stating the facts. Right or wrong, that's the way decisions were made before and the guidelines and practices of the time supported it. But things have changed in the past decade or so, and if you were used to getting your way as an F&M fan because an F&M guy ran the show for several years, this is probably a bit of an adjustment.

Any word on the GAME?--match-ups, type of play, etc.

Guess we've been distracted here; haven't seen NC Wesleyan this year.

[docmarc]

As far as parking I hope you never go to a professional football game or a division 1 school game where you may have to take a shuttle from your parking spot to the stadium.  Sorry f and m does not offer a VIP spot in front of mayser center for your Bentley. 

[docmarc]

Coleman lusty stated facts out of the rule book.  You are telling us what the rules are based on what?
