i get it bridgeland is your dogg, in your eyes he can do no wrong. he must of stroked you off just enough to keep you loyal. which he didnt do for most. im going to leave u with this thought: whenever bridgeland got married sometime between 04 and 06, yeah some players went to his wedding, the ones who lived in CA already. just think about the number of players that came into the program and who finished out there eligibility starting in 03 when i really started following the program he brought in around 7 guys, 4 of which finished out their eligibility (one of which was a juco). 04 had 10 new faces, 3 who played out their eligibility (again one was a juco). 05 brought 4 new guys, 1 finished. when not even half (closer to 1/3) of the guys you bring in quit that says something to me, especially since these are guys that he brought in...i am certainly not a disgruntled former, in the time ive been affiliated with ups i have countless good memories. but the truth is plain and simple i know more about this situation than you do. my sources put me right on the front line while u watch from the furthest corners of memorial fieldhouse.

UPSoundlogs you nailed my point right on the head thank you for taking the words out of my brain and putting them on paper!

apparently brutal reality is just something that he preaches to his players not something he practices

No Problem, I do what I can do, when I can do it.

Additionally, I think im the only idiot around here that hasn't figured out how to use the quote boxes. after many botched attempts i always end up cutting and pasting with quotatioin marks....anyone care to enlighten me?  This is admittedly embarrassing, but what can I say I'm a little slow.

Classic quote there SoundLogs - Chris Tucker in Money Talks!!  "His first, his last, his everything.....  That was beautiful, you know - 'I do, what I can do, when I can do it"  Good stuff.

Also thanks for the shout SoundLogs, it's all good on the board, fun stuff, thankfully Pat gave us this outlet, this board got me engaged and has made me a HUGE D3 fan, gotten me out to more games, made me a legitimate Pacific backer (after only having ties to the program because a family member played there several years back)......

So you can dish out Karma when you get to 200?!  Didn't know that came with being a starter, gotta start exercising that privilege....

Bbadict,

I'm old enough my man!! Any good microbreweries in Salem?

You're not slow -- there's just a lot to figure out on these boards.  If you click the "quote" in the upper right hand corner it quotes the whole thing and provides a link to the other person's post.  Sometimes I delete some of it but you have to be careful to do it between the "quote" marks and it's easy to mess it up.

If you want to become truly proficient, there's a help button at the top of D3boards that will take you to a place that has more information than you'd ever want, IMHO.

In other news...http://www.lcpioneers.com/sports/mbkb/2008-09/roster
The LC bball roster is up. Can't really judge anything from last year...it is a very different team this year. We'll have to wait and see.

Thanks Pio20....

Interesting, the names on the rosters don't equal the amount of guys in the photo, and on neither did I see the transfer they got from Western Oregon a couple years back - Allen.

wow i dont check the board for a day and it blows up...thats great!

I like that we got so many people posting

[LogShow]

Rat,

I was talking bout Colin Willemsen...heck of a player and pretty underrated in my book.  Logshock was right Symes and Willemsen made lots and lots of easy scoring opportunities for WW last year...I think it will be very interesting to see how WW does without their two workhorses...no doubt they will still be very good though.

yes.  i imagine it would take a special student athlete, a dedicated one, to make it in a program, which from what i remember had the highest winnng % in the country at one point.  i guess winning comes wth a price tag - and if a player doesn't want to pay it, he wont last.

boo hoo.  at least im retired adn have a hour or two to get on here now - whats your excuse?  is it intermission between intremural games?

what a baby.  my guess is we or i wont hear from you after bridglands seniors graduate this year ever again.  i am with you tho, its not fun to follow a losing program. guess we can thank bridgland for bringing people, and an intrameral all star to this board.

boo hoo.

I don't hate agreeing with you bbadict!

As far as Bridgeland picking Whitman 1st, I was referring to the first place vote Whitman got in the preseason coaching poll (which he undoubtedly punched)....  Don't think that was brutally realistic....

Is a coach really allowed to slot his own team in the NWC preseason poll? In other coach-derived preseason polls of which I'm aware (the CCIW, for starters), a coach does not slot his own team. He simply predicts the order in which the other seven teams will finish, and he therefore isn't tempted to either inflate his own team's potential or to sandbag by picking his own team lower than he knows it's likely to finish.

Greg,

I was wondering that exact same thing, I have no idea what the answer is for certain, but I would assume that a coach couldn't vote for their own team.  With that said, if the coaches do vote for thier own team Bridgeland would definitely vote for Whitman as #1.

This is getting pretty old.  I am by no means sensative, I like to make fun of people and debate/argue/banter about our teams just as much as the next guy, but the "Boo hoo's" and over the top childish attacks towards Logshock are pretty sad.  You seem like a serious Logger fan that has good information about the program and its great to have you in on our discussions.  Now how about acting like the retiree that you claim to be and posting something other than lame attempts at insulting people....and then we can go out after a game and grab an adult beverage at a local Tacoma bar of your choosing!(figured id take a page out of NWCer's book )

Coaches are allowed to vote for their own team in the NWC preseason poll. Strange I know, but here is proof

You're my boy blue! I'd like to join you for a cold adult beverage before any game in tacoma or after to celebrate another logger victory.

As the mantra goes: Once A Logger, Always A Logger!

Where's Steve Flegel when you need him?  He always knows the answers to these kind of questions.
