MBB: Northwest Conference

SoundLogs,

I went to PLU's website and I don't think that they played Warner Pac this year. Like what seems the case for some NAIA schools, the websites don't seem to be regularly updated. I am liking OxyBob's confidence in the Logs, but I am a little more apprehensive about the game. UPS has struggled against Warner Pac in the past two years losing both games. I think the only other teams to beat UPS in two straight games in the past four years is UW-Stevens Point & Illinois Wesleyan.

Logshow,

Hmmmmmm...yeah I cant find where I read that PLU played Warner Pac, that's wierd. I must have miss read something I guess(or maybe my memory is just that bad), my mistake $:-\$ . You are right though, UPS has struggled against Warner Pac the last two years. I still feel confident that we will get them this year, hopefully they reschedule the game for sometime soon.

Ah, I found the article for PLU vs. Warner Pac....so i guess im not going crazy

. The only problem....it was the article from the women's game. OOOOOPS! haha!

LogShow · December 05, 2007, 03:26:37 PM

oh those minor details...

I still feel good about the game, I just don't want UPS to be overconfident...they still need to bring their "A-game"

BTW while I was looking around the PLU website I saw this...

LAST WEEK: PLU's game at Cascade College in Portland, scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 27, was canceled because of an administrative error in scheduling game officials.

Thats amazing...did they just forget to schedule game officals??

Logshow, I think LC got UPS two in a row at the end of last year. By the way, I see UPS-Warner Pac is scheduled for Monday Night.

NWCer · December 05, 2007, 04:39:49 PM

Logshow, been away for a while, but yes, my Boxers are on the board!

Just hoping the officials shows up to their game at Cascade Saturday!!

NWCer welcome back! I am sure Cascade is more then on top of it...probably checked and rechecked that officals were scheduled. That just seems like a rediculous error.

Greetings NWC posters!

Obviously by my name you see that I'm a long way from home. I've lived in Vancouver for the last few years and while I spend most of my "basketball time" following my Flying Dutchmen via the Internet and D3Hoops, I've been jonesing for a live game. So I've worked out a hall pass of sorts with my wife for the 25th of Jan. at Lewis and Clark. I'm really looking forward to two of the best in the NWC and DIII.

Caught the highlights last night of the L&C game against PSU... Good game, tough loss!

Anyway, maybe I'll catch some of you there!

NWCer · December 06, 2007, 05:06:31 PM

Log Show, I'm with you, I'm sure Cascade administrators are calling the officials every hour on the hour to make sure officials are there. i know PLU had to be unhappy about that fiasco.

Your boys are playing some good ball it looks like, Warner Pac will be a great test, they've had their number the last few years.

LC's showing last night is great for the conference, Lowery has his work cut out getting Pac ready for that monster opening week of conference, LC and UPS.

UPSoundLogs · December 06, 2007, 05:27:40 PM

NW Hope,

Yeah I think I'll be at that LC vs. UPS game on the 25th, I've been looking forward to their first matchup for quite some time. I dont think you'll be dissapointed, it should be a great game. The only problem is that the LC crowd leaves somthing to be desired....if you'd like to see a great game with a better atmosphere you should try to make the LC/UPS game in Tacoma, the Logger crowd is usually very good especially for big games.

NWCer,

OUCH!!! The Boxers open with LC and UPS back to back?!?! That's gonna be a rough way to start out the regular season. Have fun with that

.

Great job to LC for putting up a solid fight against Portland St. it sounds like they even had a chance to win the game at the end!!!

NWCer · December 06, 2007, 06:31:42 PM

Sounds,

It will be tons of fun

, hopefully

Had them back to back early on at home last year and swept them, hopefully they can find the magic again out at the grove.

Has that UPS/Warner Pac game been rescheduled, I want to try and get over to that one, should be entertaining. Any LC faithful out there who were at the PSU game last night, sounded like fun, had to be good for the LC guys to run up and down on the Blazer's home floor, and play well, looks like they got everything out of the experience except the win, but at least it got the conference on the front page!!

My wife and I have friends who went to UPS and I tried to get the husband to go to a game with me last year in Tacoma... just didn't work out.

Does LC just not have a lot of support??? I read that they cancelled football two seasons ago. What was that about?

It is hard having spent 18 years in Holland MI (Where Hope is) and being very involved with their athletics, and coming out here and not connecting with a college to see games at. The Hope fans are amazing and follow them everywhere. Several times in the 90's playing for DIII national championship in Salem, we had more fans than the other three teams combined... As a matter of fact, the next day Hope and arch rival Calvin will be playing and the Saturday game is nationally televised via satellite. I'll be at a party somewhere in Portland with 30-50 local Hope/Calvin alumni watching (and drinking beer

).

If I make the game I'll have a Hope sweatshirt on no doubt. I'll stay in touch, maybe we can meet up.

NW Hope fan,

Not quite sure what the deal is with the Pio fans...they have had some reall good teams, but the crowds have less then stellar. Maybe this year with the high expectations turnout will be a bit better. Having crowds that are into it makes it a great atmosphere. It is more enjoyable to watch as a fan. There have been some great crowds at UPS over the years, during conference/playoff games.

SoundLogs, you have been to a few UPS games of the years what are some of your memorable moments?

LogShow · December 08, 2007, 07:56:37 PM

UPS has Cal State Stanislas tonight at home. I am a bit suprised that a D2 team would come play the Logs on their home court. Should be interesting to see how the Logs handle this bigger athletic team. UPS post players need to step up and have big games. Should be a great one tonight!
