MBB: Midwest Conference

[diehardfan]

Riverside County is bigger than most states so you'll have to be more specific.

Psssh, like I'm gonna post the city I live in on the internet, so that you can stalk me with the information? 

I think "That other girl" is posting up in between call backs and costume changes.  Right JeffP?

There is another girl on the MWC board?? Who is it? Steve Kohl? 

[hjmphelp]

DHF- my daughter posts up very unoccasionally (i don't even think she has re-registered) under the name Marlo..er That Girl.

You are still the queen of the MWC-and D3hoops for that matter.

[diehardfan]

Aww, you daughter likes d3hoops?? I really must meet her some day! 

[scottie]

Ouch, Steve.  That hurts! 

Thanks for the Karma points everyone.  I hope to be back to positive numbers by March Madness!!

[Mac Attack]

Anybody know how I can follow the Grinnell-MacMurray game tomorrow night. I understand the local radio station sometimes carries the games - but not tomorrow night. Any other webcast possibilities? Anyone from Grinnell who'll be updating the game??? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

[diehardfan]

Ouch, Steve.  That hurts! 

Just trying to see if the mention of his name will bring him out of the woodwork 

[scottie]

Please don't call out Steve K...  His ego is big enough!  Plus, he's going to go crazy when he see's all of these smiley face options...   

[Maverick]

scottie - This board moves REALLY slow compared to what we went through last week on the football board with the Johnnies!  Too bad you couldn't make it up to SJU for that game, was a great Fighting Scots following around there.  Good call on Steve K, he's gonna go completely nuts with all the smiley possibilities.

[scottie]

Mav - Due to the outcome of the game, I'm not going to beat myself up too badly for not making the trip to SJU.     I did listen to every minute of the webcast and even called the station to correct the dumba$$ announcer who couldn't pronounce the name of our fine school correctly.  I thought I had heard the name butchered everyway possible, but the Minnesotan came up with a new one...   

But since this is a basketball site, I'll finish by saying there's a 76% chance I'll be at the game(s) on Saturday.  I hope they have some t-shirts for sale, because of my swap with K-rat.

Scottie,
My guess is that Steve 8) must have missed the smileys when he was called out last time.  Maybe Steve was reprimanded for spending too much time on the Internet at work?

Mac Attack-
Sorry to report that the local radio station will not be doing the game. I'll do my best to get at least a score posted between the mens and womens game. Sorry, best i can do.

April gives scottie karma, and then regrets it, cause he called me "that other girl" 
Juuuust kidding dear!

Gotta love that non MWC posters know to write poetry when they step into the room.... quality stuff Hoops Fan!

i live in cali now and i am anxious, as i will be able to get my first look at Redlands and compare them to the system!

Hey! A midwest basketball fan exiled out to So Cal just like me? Woo! Where do you live? I live in Riverside County, but toward the south, and out in the wine country, so Redlands is the closest school to me... we should meet up at a game some time and discus how much better midwest basketball is!

diehard,

I am probably very close to you then, i have left good ol MC and now i am at D3 Chapman U.  redlands is on the schedule this year as well as la sierra and i believe cal baptist. 

last week i saw chapman beat a very big, but not very skilled, australian u-19 national team.  they had a 6'10 18 yr. old who is supposedly high on the trailbalzers wish list.  My opinion, braier would kick his a**.  but thats just me.....

good luck to all the team in the MWC....  ah who am i kidding GO SCOTS-die all teams from Whiz kan sin!!!!

[Old Fighting Scot]

CU at Redlands on Saturday.  Ill have a full report on "the system-west."

[diehardfan]

Okay, this is going to make me a nerd, but I tend to plan one great big schedule of games that I'm going to go to every year around this time (to make sure I maximize the bang for my buck, and see all or most of the teams/players I really want to see in the year).  And based on that, I have a thought for you.

Are you sure you wouldn't rather see Pomona Pitzer hosting Wash U? I'm sure that's a game with better quality teams. Really, you can see Redlands anytime. If I wasn't hosting my family for thanksgiving weekend, I would have caught that game, as well as P-P hosting Augsburg Friday.

It's always good to use the preconference time to catch decent teams from decent conferences who happen to be in your area. I'll do this even if it means missing teams that I'd "rather see", or my "home team" if I can see plenty of the prefered team later. Doing this gives you a much better idea (come March) on how to compare teams on a national level. There's more work in it than just "hey, that teams sucked one night so the whole conference sucks) but attending games with teams from many regions is the best place to start.

Just my two cents, take it or leave it. If you see any games involving SCIAC teams, be sure to leave a note over on our board... it get's lonely over here!

So, where are all the Larry U fans?  What's your thoughts on the big game tonight against Oshkosh?  You guys think you'll pull the "double" after last year's win?  I'm surprised not to see many opinions on one of the biggest pre-conference games of the year in Wisconsin.  I hoping to make the trek up to Appleton tonight.
