Just went to login to an ODAC softball tournament game and got offered the opportunity by Flo to answer a survey, so I did. If you haven't had the chance to do that, if you are interested it might pop-up if you go to watch some event.

^^^ Interesting, indeed. Sure seems like that involves a lot of risk and there would need to be some significant liability and fire insurance policies paid for by someone, especially if cooking is done using natural gas. However, if they have equipped the dorms with induction cooking stoves and ovens, then that probably makes it somewhat safer.

^^^ RMC will surely NOT be pre-season #3. They do not appear to have lost any underclassmen to the portal, but they graduated some very good players. If all underclassmen return they will surely be good, but there are no All-American type players to suggest they will be a top five pre-season pick.

Yes, I thought of that. But it might not be as embedded in the minds of younger fans.

Quote from: y_jack_lok on March 26, 2026, 03:08:16 PMRMC's 2026 schedule has been released. Non-conference games are at Dickinson and home vs Johns Hopkins and Maryville.

This schedule has been on our website since Feb. 22.

I only saw it when RMC posted it on Facebook and its website yesterday. Hadn't thought to check D3football.com. I'm always a little behind the curve on these things. Wasn't even looking for it given that the season is more than five months away.

RMC's 2026 schedule has been released. Non-conference games are at Dickinson and home vs Johns Hopkins and Maryville.

For the Chinese it's the year of the Horse. For D3 hoops it's the year of the Eagles.

Congrats to CNU and UMW. Could it be an all C2C championship game? Greek Tragedy, over on the 2026 Tournament board, thinks not. He's predicting a Trinity vs Emory final.

^^^ If you look at the below bio of the VP of LEONA, it's no wonder the UAA went with Flo.

"2. The UAA has just 3,289 followers on X, and 7,212 on Instagram. Clicking on the Insta followers, I see a lot of accounts of people who have very few followers and who make almost no posts."


I realize that by the standards of celebrities and politicians those numbers of followers are insignificant, but for a D3 sports conference they don't seem too bad to me. But I'll admit that I have no other basis for making that comment. I suppose D1 conferences could have hundreds of thousands to perhaps millions of followers. Anyway, just an observation.

RMC with so many shots tonight that bounced around the rim but didn't go in. Congrats to CNU. Good luck in Fort Wayne.

Congrats also to the Jackets on a great season -- 27-4, with those four losses by a total of six points.

CNU could well be bringing a good crowd.

I can't remember where all the conversation was going on a year or more ago when the future of Birmingham Southern was being discussed, so I'll just put this here.

"I'm not sure what all Kristi Noem did for the Coast Guard. I do know that she bought a new training facility for them... in Birmingham, Alabama...The facility Noem purchased was a small private college, Birmingham Southern, that went bankrupt about two years ago and has been vacant since May of 2024. The campus has been on the market since then."

Quote from: GusD on March 08, 2026, 05:22:42 PMNot only did IWU get Cleveland back, but it appears they got another bonus.
As far as I can tell, they're the only lower seeded team that will be hosting a third round game. It would be interesting to learn what was behind the inconsistent reasoning that resulted in that decision.

I saw an explanation elsewhere that it is because Endicott is hosting Ice Hockey that day.
