Region 4 men's basketball / Re: MAC Freedom League

Went to Kings @ FDU. The first 10 minutes was honestly the ugliest basketball I have ever seen at the HS level and up. It got better, but the amount of fouls in the game was nuts. Kings was shooting horribly in the 1st half, thankfully (from my perspective) they started driving to the basket. FDU went to a press in the 2nd half which was a good move - they almost came back.

Any TCNJ fans know if there is going to be a video broadcast of Saturday's game?

Not that I know of Jedi - I also don't know how my alma mater will be able to stay within 40 points of you guys...............

According to the NJAC website:
"A Lions' win next week at Kean will give TCNJ the NJAC championship outright. A Kean victory will result in a split NJAC Championship between TCNJ and Cortland..."

Gotta love a conference that won't decide a championship based on head-to-head. By all means, split the title when one team has already beaten the other 30-0. It will be interesting to see if anybody from TCNJ is given a rest in advance of the playoffs — or will the outright NJAC championship be the #1 goal.

I'm certainly biased, but that really is a crock. Let's just beat Kean and make it a non issue.

I was expecting a 10-6 affair, was actually more entertaining than I figured. Lions Offense pretty much did nothing in the 1st half, but in the 2nd they started to mix up the run and pass nicely and gain some yards. Of course filed position helped - they aren;t going to have too many 85 yard drives. The "D" of course was their strength again - put loads of pressure on the Pioneers QB. They gave up a few long plays, but another solid effort. There were a couple of wild special teams plays - NJ punter boomed one over the returner's head, was downed just outside the goal line. WP blcked a punt and returned it for a TD. Still can't believe we are 5-1, but I'm loving it.

I just wanted to add a thought about the passing of Phil Rizzuto.

Scooter was part of every baseball memory I had as a Yankee fan growing up. A fixture from my childhood and beyond. Hearing his voice on a broadcast would automatically take me back to the days of Mantle, which gave way to the days of Murcer and beyond. When I was older and living on my own — hearing him do a game was like catching a whiff of a certain smell which would instantly transport you back to memories of the safety and security of your parents' house.

Back in 1993 I was living in Pennsylvania and driving up to North Jersey twice a week to play in a softball league with old friends. I'd  drive up from work in Princeton, play the game, get showered and head for the bar. On these nights I'd stay with my parents, spend five minutes catching up and five more saying good-bye the next morning.

My dad was battling cancer for a few years at that point in time. He never wanted to talk about it with me, it was just an ongoing thing. On this one night in June after the softball game, I stopped home, showered and was on my way out the door when I stopped to catch the score of the Yankee/Cleveland game my dad was watching. Cleveland was his favorite team and Bobby Feller his favorite player.

On this night Rizzuto had Larry Gatlin of the Gatlin Bros. band in the booth and it was one of the wackiest things you'd ever wanted to hear. The game became an afterthought to Scooter while he tried to talk music (and his duet with Meatloaf) as Gatlin tried to talk baseball. The next thing I knew I sat down and wound up watching the entire game with my dad — probably for the first time since he took me to Bat Day at the stadium around '71. The Yankees beat Cleveland 8-5. Jimmy Key got the W. I lost my dad the following week — the game being the final conversation I ever had with him. To this day I have no idea why I decided to sit and watch that entire darn game — other than Rizzuto sucked me in and I was sitting there like I was 10 years old again. I thank God I did. So I owe a large debt of gratitude to Phil Rizzuto. He'll forever be a key part/architect of one of my most cherished memories. I shed a tear tonight when I heard of his passing. He passed away in the town I grew up in.

Thank you Phil and God Bless.

Great stuff . This is Guy from northern NJ, we E-Mailed a few times couple of yrs ago. I grew up in the 70's in a Yankee house,  the game was on the TV downstairs, and on the kitchen radio - every game. Being of Italian backround our family really loved the Scooter.

Maybe I'll Post a bit more this season. Then there will be a grand total of two TCNJ fans on the Board.

Congrats to Kean from a Trenton State College alumn. All of Jersey should be proud.

Good luck Scots, from a fan in NJ. By the way, will there be any national TV coverage of the Final Four or the Final?

What's the scoop on TCNJ this season?  I haven't been hearing much out of Lion Land.
Taste It

I'm a TCNJ (Trenton State in my day alumn). I lurk here alot, but rarely post because I get to maybe one game a year live and just don't feel that qualified to talk about the team. I was there on the 14th for homecoming vs W.Paterson.  If you look at the Lions record it pretty much says it all: they are a mediocre team. They have a few real good players on each side of the ball, but that's about it. Some people think the veryh academic standards at the school these days has had a detrimental effect on the gridiron - I really don't know if that's true or not.

I was wondering if Phil or anyone else will be at the WP-TCNJ game this Saturday.

Good Luck to Moravian in the ECAC Playoffs.

Too bad you can't make it down to Ewing Phil. I'll be there to cheer the Lions on, we can still have a respectable season. Would enjoy meeting up with anyone from the Boards at the game Saturday.
