MBB: Skyline Conference

[Knightstalker]

Ditka don't need nobody else on his team.  Ditka's so quick he can inbound to himself.

Ditka 168
The rest of you'se 25, Ditka is getting a little old, might give up a few.

Come on, their is no way Ditka would play a team as bad as bard.

[Raptormania!]

It's funny, Raptor fans need to get used to putting up with this kind of hostility. It is the price one pays for success. And what lesser team do you root for, bball44? I'd like to pull for them. Because when we do things like tear down great programs (ie. Bard) with our words, nobody wins.

Dunno why -- it seems pretty consistent over the years.

[Raptormania!]

So true, Pat. Did you know there were people who didn't even think Bard would get into the Skyline?

[Pat Coleman]

I can't say I spent a lot of time caring about other peoples' opinions on this matter.

[Raptormania!]

Right on, Pat- those were some pretty silly people.

How is poly looking this year? New coach with a proven track record for recruiting...wonder if he can turn em around .... now is the time in the skyline shakeup I dont see any monster favorites out there...any thoughts?

[Raptormania!]

They have a terrific gym and playing atmosphere... I'll hopefully be interviewing him this summer, I'll let you guys know when I do. I'm glad Poly is in the Skyline.

Raptormania...

Any truth to the rumor that Jeff Van Gundy is out as coach of the Rockets because it was clear he'd be signing on as a "consultant" with Bard?

[bballfan44]

I heard that rumor was true, so congrats to Bard. 

I am surprised Bard didn' lock up Cronin from Henninger.  I can't believe you let him slip by and let him go to Michigan.  He would have fit in with your program.

[Raptormania!]

Sorry fellas... when you have the best on board in Chris Wood, retreads aren't needed. But it doesn't surprise me that people like Van Gundy are floating a rumor of Bard's interest in order to associate themselves with a top program.

anyone know what is going on in Brooklyn over at Poly? i hear rumblings from my little birdies saying they have a new coach and the skyline will be surprised next year.

is Poly the old Brooklyn Poly from my playing days in the 60s?   I remember running up the steps to the top of a building - the roof was a plastic bubble - no seating except for a bench for each team - floor was small - attendance was "0"

Yes, Polytechnic and Brooklyn Poly are one and the same. Polytechnic is located on the same block as New York City Tech in downtown Brooklyn. The Bluejays have a new gym, which I believe is only a couple of years old. Polytechnic should not be confused with Poly Prep, which is also located in Brooklyn.
