Greek Tragedy

https://thetournament.com

Apparently this thing is real and aside from the D3 team taking on a UCLA alumni team, I checked out the pod that will be playing an hour away from me in Milwaukee. I really don't know if I'll make it down, but it would be interesting just to see how many people actually show up to watch. It does help that one of the teams is basically made up of Marquette alumni.

I'm in Big 10 country, so I checked out Big X's roster and it included Duncan Robinson and Wesleyan's Harry Rafferty.

Yeah ... it's real ... thus why Pat and I have been tweeting and retweeting the team news and voting stuff. And why Pat was willing to let Mike post updates and fundraising efforts on the boards. LOL

We've posted it on Facebook and on the front page of D3hoops.com as well. :)

And again... the boards. LOL

I foresee the Greek conducting a fantasy draw for the tourney. ::)

Thanks for going through this list -- Albany hasn't been D-III since the mid-1990s, and Ojo played for Pfeiffer as a D-II team, but good list.

Glad to see Iwu is still playing!

Is this where I mention learning about the 1997 national title in the alumni magazine? Or is this where we talk about barely making the CCIW tournament and running the table to win the baseball national championship? I need to know!

I prefer the story of taking a bike ride with the wife instead of watching one of the best endings to a National Championship game...ever. I mean, why watch the National Championship game if your team loses in the semis. You only drove 15 hours.  ;D :P :o

LOL. I have to stop picking on Chuck so much ... but the Ike Iwu reference was too good a setup to let pass.

It's OK - I'm a big boy.

And I agree that the Iwu reference was irresistible - I just couldn't come up with a response I liked! ;D

Totally true. I've definitely dished a lot out in your direction over the decades. :)
