D3 Championship Belt

[Just Bill]

Well we'll probably have to have an actual belt before we put together a belt commission.

Hey, cut me some slack, I'm working on it!  These hot glue guns aren't as easy to handle as they look!

[smedindy]

Just Bedazzle it!!! Heh!

Just Bedazzle it!!! Heh!

It totally saves time and is a good value to boot.  (Although the shipping and handling can be a bear.)

Also, you might have to handicap the royal rumble.  100 hoops is no fair to Wittenberg if Grinnell or UPS is involved.

Are you kidding?  Wittenberg would get to 100 hoops a hour before Grinnell.  One hundred points might be a bit closer, as it would only require about 35 hoops from Grotberg vs. 50 from Borchers, but I'd still take Witt.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Yeah, I was more going on the assumption that GC has 18 guys who are used to launching a million shots a minute, whereas the slow down teams are used to a more sedate pace.  They might miss more, but they essentially take more. 


We're well beyond where this analogy should have led us.

That could be the motto of the CCIW Chat.

This chat is HILLARIOUS
I actually read all three pages...does that make me a loser too..but still funny

I have to admit that an 8 team royal rumble, all teams on the court at the same time, score at either hoop, multiple balls in play, leaves a great deal to the imagination  -  all of a sudden I'm reminded of Mad magazine back in the 60s       a game they played called "squamish".....

Was the Mad magazine game played in British Columbia? Click here

I think it should be played NBA Jam style, with no fouls.

Analogies per se aren't always the issue in CCIW Chat. Our multiple-page digressions come about in a fashion that is much more (to use April's favorite word) random. F'rinstance, I've been a fixture on CCIW Chat since it began nine years ago, and I never would've guessed that we'd have a three-day brouhaha over where a former CCIW coach and his wife chose to sit during a CCIW game.

Ready for a walk down memory lane, Hopefan? Here's that MAD piece on 43-Man Squamish from the June 1965 issue:

I had that issue once upon a time...I got it at a garage sale. And of course, I sold it at a garage sale. Eeediot!

[Just Bill]

I've been running a 43-man Squamish Fantasy League for a few years now.  If you want in let me know.

[David Collinge]

I think the Grinnell System is based on 43-man Squamish to a very large degree.  The 'P' in 'Jeff P' must stand for 'Probate Judge.'

Hey, if I was Todd Raridon, I'd be a little miffed if my wife chose to sat in the opposing team's section....

But I didn't mean just analogies. More like "We're well beyond where this (insert: analogy, dicsussion, argument, comment, word, game, etc) should have led us. I was just stating the obvious in that things tend to get discussed to death over there.
