Hey what you guys think about Norwich against Elms.   Gordon plays Utica, Endicott plays on of the better teams in the Nescac and ....Norwich against Elms...

Cstike, amazing....did you play at EC or CSC?  You and your dam captain crunch decoder ring.  No hard feelings about the diner, just making jokes. 

Hey congrats to EC and Gordon and good luck.

"I'm running out to work all night"  Cstrike cmon buddy, what are you bussing tables at some local food chain....oh wait.. you're security cop or safety officer at some college.  And before you can ......that's right even if you were in California you'd still be working the night shift....Yeah I know, I am just bored.  But really, trying to figure out where you played. 

I mean you had to of played in NE somewhere.  Because if you are coming into this chat room, from another region, wow..you must have some serious time on your hands.

Cstrike after you finish your night shift at the town machine shop, please give us some hints where you played. 

24/7/365  I like your ideas...that's pretty funny.

Cstirke your arguement is well put about basketball.  I agree that makes sense.  I also agree about the easy schedule and how it's not fair to CSC or EC.  Look at my earlier posts.  I called CSC beating Salve, Gordon, and EC.  My team is CSC.  Where did you play and when.  Did you play in NE? 

Hey did Gordon College cut somebody this year?  B/C somebody registered 2/23 at 8:30.   I called my good friend Jessica Fletcher and she said that was around the time that Gordon lost to CSC. 
I also don't think it's a person from the CCC B/C are you ready, cstrike.....what did the pharisees say about Jesus when he cast demons out of people? 2.  What did Jesus reply....Come on you can figure it out...couple minutes on the internet...Or simply using your reading comprehension skills...OR simply knowing a little bit about the most popular read book in the world. 

So, why would a week CCC conference, crap on a team getting, I believe, the first ever at large bid.

So what did you get cut.  Please tell....I'm so interested to find the root of fury.   

cstrike, I somewhat understand why you might be mad.  Your're right, they're are other confereneces that are alot better and Deserve more at large bids.  I agree.  But, why do you hate so much that Gordon might have a chance at getting in the tournament.  This could be the highlight of some of these kids D3 Basketball Careers.  And more importantly, who cares....Why do you care so much?  In a couple of years nobody will even remember who made the tournament or who didn't.  Who crapped in your cornflakes.
It is D3 basketball.  Making the NCAA tournament does not give you a ticket to having a good job, good family, good life when you graduate, now is it.  Twenty years from now when you encounter tough times (and I am not wishing that upon you, hopefully that does not happen to you) why not blame it on Gordon College taking that extra at large bid away from your school. 
Do you understand.  We are not ignorant of the fact of better schools.

Let me put it in lamen terms for you.  If you get offered a job paying $200,000/yr in a place that you want to be, are you going to tell the boss, "um, you should probably look for a kid from an Ivy League School".  No, if you have any balls you step up to the plate, and are greatful for the oppurtunity and make the most of it.

Are You Following.....So Yes there are better teams, yes you are smarter, get better looking girls, can bench more, but ...if Gordon gets the oppurtunity, they will make the most of it.

And if they get spanked by 20..30 so be it.   

Lastly I think you just need a hug.  It's ok.  If Gordon gettin into the NCAA is the worst thing you are dealing with right now in your life, then  you're doing ok.  Keep your head up. 

Roy, I must say being able to lose with humility is a task in itself.  I am not being sarcastic.  Gordon will win a title in the years to come.  Like I stated earlier once you are  the top team it makes it even more difficult to win.

Gordon could have been playing not to lose rather then playing to win.  

Also having experienced how to handle play off games under pressure helped CSC.  Personally I thought that CSC would win by 5 like I posted earlier.

Now you also understand why people talk up teams like EC and CSC.  Reguardless of what people say the teams did or didn't do, this will be CSC 5th appearance in the last 6 years in the championship.  I believe EC is right up there also.

I would also like to say good luck to Gordon, hoping they will get into the dance and represent the CCC.  So keep your heads up in Wenham and represent.  Have a good night.

Is there a link on the Gordon website, and if so where.  Thanks

Does anybody know if Gordon will be broadcasting this game? Thanks

Wow, that's awesome for Gordon to pull off a W in last couple seconds of the game, in their own gym.  Congrats.  That W showed some real team composure that you hope for out of a good veteran team.

The North wins and, what, what's that, oh yeah all the teams in the south lost.  My point...the North is usually better and the CCC should be ranked by one conference not the North/South.

Gordon is in a difficult situation.  They are the best team in the league, with the record and W's against solid teams to prove it.  However, the pressure is on them.  CSC is supposed to lose thursday night and Gordon is supposed to win.  Does the "we haven't one yet mentality," pose a problem.  Yes, because they are facing a CSC team that could be possibly finding their chemistry with a couple good players to back it up.  The other harsh fact, if we can handle the truth is,  "if Gordon loses Thursday night, it means they choked".   Are they the better team?  Have they beat good quality teams?  Are they ranked higher?  Yes. Yes. Yes.  Then if they lose.............    However, CSC has choked their share also.  I am just throwing out a point, so after CSC wins at Gordon...Please don't blame it on the refs, or mentality, or whatever...

Gordon is not used to it, sometimes when your number one you get caught up in defending the top spot instead of going on the offensive.  Playing not to lose instead of playing to win. 

Gordon should hopefully still make the NCAA, and that's the only hope for having two CCC teams represent in the tournament.   

Good luck Thursday Night.

My pick is CSC by 5
Endicott by 20

Then CSC by 3 in the championship.

whoa, whoa......whoa.... easy there hoops fan.  The first joke was good, stop while your ahead.


AMC used to be straight nasty, not really the case anymore (0-16). Granted I need to see GC beat CSC one more time for that change to happen, but I don't think that would be too large of a feat for the GC guys.

So, are you saying that Gordon will be straight up nasty if they meet CSC in the Semi's and win, or that CSC will from now on assume AMC role of losing many games.

Solid deductions....

anyway the year that amc went to ncaa sweet sixteen, guess who beat them by 20 pts.  Oh yeah, get on up you crazy fighting scotts...and by the way anybody remember a kid hayes murray.  That kid was good at bball, and a really good runner.  One time I raced him in a sprint and he won, and then Gordon got a banner, but they didn't want to hang the banner cause that was stupid, so they gave him a trophy and it's in like one of those twenty trophy cases when you walk in the bennet center.  Hayes Holla

I think it will be a tough game in Ri, but CSC will pull it off by about 5 points.  Which leads me to the big semi-final game between Gordon and CSC, (hopefully both teams will be there).  CSC by 7 points.  Why?... Gordon is better, but to beat a team three times in a season.  Even when CSC wins Gordon should hopefully get an at large bid..which is an amazing task in itself. 

um.....ah.....after reading that last post I called my mom, and told her that I loved her.  I guess at the end of the day, basketball is not enogh.  Sometimes we just need hug. 

24/7/365...I like your analogy with the Red Sox and Yankees.  Reguardless of what EC and CSC has done in years past, it is now about this 2006.  I watched Gordon play CSC and they have a solid team.  They are well coached with good group of players.  Also, if the Gordon coach/AD was smart enough to make an out of conference schedule (cupcake or not), that would give them wins, and rank them high in the region, then great.  That's smart coaching.  
     AJ I like your digs of Endicot, however, "10+ trophy cases in the Bennet Center".  
      Maq Diesel ..you think it's stupid to hang banners...
AJ and Maq, stick to 2006, your team has a great shot at winning the conference.  Why talk about banners? You just dig yourself a hole. I mean seriously, tell us what's in the trophy cases.  Certainly not basketball conference champioship trophies.  Correct me if I wrong, but are there any in the last 15 years?  As far as banner hanging, I can see why you wouldn't want to hang banners in the gym.  I don't think you can get banners made for the potato toss, or winter carnival best decoration.  
       Believe me, once you guys start winning titles, which you should, banners will be going up.
         And lastly, I think dating nice looking girls, having a succesful job, a nice house and car, is stupid.  But if I could....na it still be stupid.   Cause I got trohpy cases full of memories.  Fighting Scotts WHAT! WHAT!

Ending on good note I think Kaufman is a great player. 

dwebbs...It's ok...relax.  Gordon is doing great and has a good chance to win the conference.  Why do you think people where so excited that CSC beat AMC? They lost six games in a row.  They would have been happy beating the girls team.  Remember they are use to winning.  In the last eleven years they have played in seven championships winning four of them.  Gordon could be a role model and show them how to lose with humilty, b/c correct me if I am wrong, but Gordon has been to zero championships in the last eleven years.

Gordon has always had loyal fan support even through some of the rougher years.  It would be nice for them to nab a title.  Hey dwebbs, maybe the coach will let you cut down part of the net.
