Dare i say that this board is degenerating into "the toilet?"  donho, if VWC is tougher than SMC that doesnt mean F&M is in trouble.  F&M won that game, and has an even more experienced team than last year.  The fear about SMC was, with their offense, they could blow f&M out of the building.  If VaW wins tonight, i would expect it to go like last years Elite 8 game.

Bball let's stop lying to the folks.  Are you an assistant coach of Gettysburg?  Why did you say you are not a coach or you do not care about the bullets.  And let's clarify mcnally injury.  OT started as a concussion which then became a pinched nerve in the neck which can be assisted by a chiropractor.  He then had a knee injury.

Ok, i will cave in. I love f&m! I agree with everyone on here about their wonderful coach! His record speaks for itself! I don't know how anyone can question their coach or program. I truly envy grob. I hope my change of stance will now welcome me into the club!

Now as for basketball, does VA Wes play any zone? I actually think that with all of the zones the dips have been seeing that they ate getting better at handling it. Basically u can't pressure them because Milligan is so solid with the ball that they don't need to waste Brewer or Tolliver in the backcourt. So that give them an advantage in being able to leak out and run and use their athletic ability. I also think Baker is deadly from 17 feet and in, especially from foul line area. And Hayk and James can roam down low block to block. So they can basically use their hi low action the same as they do against man to man.
They are very difficult to defens with such great post players, especially since all of them have good range. I would love to see Tollivwr get hot and have a good game. If he can hit some 3's it will open up the game and the paint for the big three!
What's up with Kevin Henry? He was a great recruit out of Owen J Roberts with great athletic abilities, although a little weak physically. I really thought he would be a contributor his soph year! I know he has had some shoulder problems, any other info on him??

 I was responding to the fact that an ODAC member sent F+M home from St. Mary's last year.

Now go ahead and take some more karma cause I dared to post on the cc site.

No docmarc, not a coach. I wish though, it seems like it would be a great job. I actually am just a big fan of them, but don't live in the area. I have a lot of close friends around the CC so i hear a lot. May not all be true but i do trust most of my friends. Have u heard something similar though about his injury? I too heard it was a nerve issue and not a concussion. Which is why i questioned a chiropractor.
Good luck to the dips.
Enjoy the game docmarc, i think u said u were making the trip?

I am at the game.  Nothing like mayser and the student section is poor.

[bball2020]

Their students aren't on spring break are they?
Otherwise, shame on them for not supporting their team in such a big game!

Georgio ... spectacular 1h so far...

BTW - GRob spent days in Bergen County recruiting the Don Bosco boys... my nephew was at DBPrep and GRob and their coach have hit it off personally..

[oftdip]

I wonder how the VWC coach feels... the last time he saw F&M was when he was a senior captain for Wilkes in '96... Lost by 33 to the Dips and GRob... I was there and it was an ugly ugly game...

as usual, d3 refs dont understand the definition of travel.  i felt there were some bad foul calls, but that part of the game was pretty even.  the problem was the inconsistency in the travelling.  figures, the piaa gets better refs than d3

Great run by a great group of seniors!
Congrats to that group and what they accomplished the last 4 years!

i have to admit, i cant believe with all the discussion we had this week i allowed coleman to get away with the argument: "be happy you get to watch the game on the internet."  I completely forgot last year, where the coverage cuts in and out and the announcers are obviously host announcers, so you get the host school bias.  Funny how the coverage doesnt cut out at Mayser, but thats neither here nor there.  I mistakenly conceded that point during the early week discussion, so i will go lock myself in the handicap stall for ten minutes to reflect.  

the va wesleyan coverage was a joke in the first half, kept cutting in and out.  i shouldve gone, but then again i dont salute the confederate flag so i'm not sure i'm welcome in Southen VA!
