MBB: Northwest Conference

NWhoops,  did WW leave today?

I think it would be good to get over there and get used to the time difference, and be able to practice/shoot around in Hope's fieldhouse to get comfortable.

Whitworth arrived in Holland around 4:30 local time, no word about whether they've been in DeVos but obviously they get a day to acclimate themselves to the time zone.

Thanks for the update Sac!

PIRATES IN HOLLAND!  ISN'T THAT VEIRD?

[Gregory Sager]

I'm not being touchy or defensive at all. Raymond doesn't play for my alma mater (in fact, he plays for my alma mater's archrival), so I have no vested interest in defending him. I'm simply warning you against the hubris that seems to be typical of D3 fans at this time of year. Fans tend to get a little too stoked up about their own teams and they sometimes dismiss opponents sight unseen as a result.

I will guard against the hubris (and the canabis, thank you Nancy Reagan) that seems to be typical of D3 fans at this time of year.  Thanks for the "Just Say No" to over confidence and blind faith addiction.

I'd change my icon ...



... but I'm afraid that I'd have to waste too much time constantly explaining myself on various boards.

Lucy, you got some 'splaining to do.

Are you unpoopular?

PIRATES IN HOLLAND!  ISN'T THAT VEIRD?

Not that weird, we've had our own brush with Pirates right here in the 21st Century.  An excerpt.......

"In spring of 2004, The American Pirate Association took their small town by storm. It was during the annual Tulip Time Kinder Parade in Holland, Michigan, that this small group of teens dressed up as pirates and entered the parade lineup without a permit (oh, the humanity.) The crowd cheered them on, but it wasn't long before the police escorted them off the premises and fined them $100 apiece ... The members of the American Pirate Association opted to hold a carwash fundraiser, again dressed as pirates. Members from all over the community came to show their support, many making donations without even getting their cars washed, some dressing as pirates themselves. At the end of the day, enough money was raised to pay all fines, with cash leftover to make a contribution to the Boys and Girls Club ... In a move of both wit and class, the American Pirate Association kept just enough money to make one last charitable donation, this one in the form of purchasing a brick for the new Holland Police Station - the very same precinct that had pulled them from the parade in the first place. And this brick will forever be engraved "American Pirate Association". [update: in a tragic display of poor sportsmanship, the Holland Police Department has declined to accept the donation.]"

The best part was they entered the parade after the Macatawa Bank float and chased it down the street.  Good times by all, except the Mayor, the parade committee and the Holland Police Department who have little sense of humor when it comes to tulips, parades and shenanigans around such.

Could be all the ALL CAPS POSTS from earlier.

[bbaddict]

No, I think someone is dinking the karma of the NWC posters because I haven't said anything and mine went down as well.

Go Pirates -- beat Wheaton!

So, since there's not much to talk about until Friday, I really want to know when the keeper of the NWC site is going to change the Men's basketball standings to show Willamette in 3rd place.  They did win the tiebreaker -- they did play in the Conference playoffs and it only seems right to put them ahead of the other 3 teams that tied with them for 3rd.  That sounds so weird -- to have 4 teams in a conference of 9 tie for 3rd.   Guess it's just a reflection of what butt kickin conference we had this year.

It's just the accurate thing to do!

[LogShow]

Yeah, I would say that 4 teams tied for 3rd place is pretty rare.  It's pretty crazy that UPS still got 2nd place with 5 conference losses.  It was a good year in the NWC

[LogShow]

All the talking is almost done...the countdown begins, less then 24 hours till tip!

They're doing one of two things, going in alphabetical order, or by overall record, either way, doesn't make much difference, yeah they won the tie breaker to see who GOES to the NWC tourney, but nevertheless all 4 are tied for 3rd place, so it doesn't matter what order they're in.  Just like LC and Whitworth last year, they were co-champs, the tiebreaker is only there for tournament seeding purposes...........
