MBB: Northwest Conference

[NWCer]

Yeah, as Logshock pointed out with the 05-06 preseason poll, LC was also a unanimous pick to win it in 07-08 (http://www.nwcsports.com/sports/mbkb/2007-08/07mbbpoll), they got 9 first place votes, 9 coaches in the league, so it means all vote 1-9 giving them the right to put themselves 1st or wherever else they want to.  This is right below the rankings - (First-place votes in parenthesis. Points awarded on 10-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis).

Logshow, yeah you've been missing all the action, two new Logger supporters going at it!  All good though, at least you guys have 4 supporters out there if my math is correct.........

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.

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

Thanks, logshock. Can't say that I agree with the NWC's methodology, which I think is ripe for abuse ... but, then again, it's not my league, so it's no skin off my nose.

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.

Im above attempting to make personal attacks on this board, which im not quite sure what i did to offend u so bad. i never said anything about u and am entitled to voice my own opinion. I didnt know the D3 boards were part of communist Russia where you couldn't speak your thoughts and had to conform to what people say your supposed to believe...Im far from a fair weather fan, proof of this is the fact that every saturday i sit down and cheer on my beloved winless huskies. Also I didn't know being retired was a prereq for posting on this board. we're not talking about social security or medicade, its college basketball, I thought being a diehard logger fan who has lived and breathed by logger basketball the past 6 years was good enough for me to be able to post on here. Ill be cheering on Lunt and  the loggers until the day my casket drops...But at least u got one right. im not only an intermural all star, but also an IM champion. I took down a crown in IM soccer during my years at UPS, so thank you for noticing, it is about time i started getting some respect for my skills

I know this board is getting crazy!  I wish I could be in the middle of it...but by the time I checked again we had cycled to a new page, I can't even keep up with all that is going on.  Maybe I am getting old...lol .  I love it though...so much better then in years past.  I do like seeing all the Logger faithful out in force.  Wish there were a few more from your boxers

[LogShow]

So I think UPS plays Eastern Washington in their exhibition...any other schools have a D1 oppnent?

I would love for the Logs to win, but its gonna take a lot of magic..but hey they knock off UC Riverside a few years ago...McVey was even on the front page of this very website after that win 8)

[LogShow]

NWCer, I can't believe you didn't know you can give karma now that you are up off the bench!  Make good use of it my friend...with great power comes great responsibility...lol

Here +1 for having funny posts...

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.

Yeah a couple players quit. Allen is among them.

LC almost beat portland state last year(it might have been 2 years ago i cant remember)!  Its always fun when a small school beats a D1.  Eastern is definitely beatable in my opinion, especially now that Stuckey has moved on to the NBA.  The Loggers will need to be on their A game, but I would love for them to make a good game out of it...maybe they can make the D3hoops front page again!

Logshow,

Pacific is at Boise State in a couple weeks, LC has Portland State again, I think those are the only other two.....

Let me find out how to get the Karma distribution going so I can go to work!

[bbaddict]

It's easy -- I just +k'd your karma.  You click on "applaud" or "smite" on someone's karma and that does it.  Only once every 24 hours though.

[NWCer]

Thanks Bbaddict, right back at ya

Wow, we've come a long way in 48 hours, I've went from living in fantasy land to exchanging Karma 

[NWCer]

Dang!   Can't give myself Karma!  I was trying to pull a Bridgeland 

[logshock101]

The impression i got from speaking with Lunt right around the time practices began, was that the UPS vs Eastern game could be an ugly one. By that I mean there might be fouls than points scored. Lunt hadn't planned on cleaning things up at practice until after the Eastern game, but maybe he has changed his mind since that time. In my opinion, UPS is pretty thin on the front line now that Kevin Wright isn't playing. So if Foster, Boyce, and/or Krauel get into foul trouble, which has been frequent in the past, the loggers are gonna have to fall back on a freshman.

I think that's a safety feature -- so we don't hurt ourselves!!
