East Decade Team (03-13)

[D3MAFAN]

Due to some discussion on some of the boards, I just wanted to get a consensus on whom everyone felt would be the team of the decade?

Based on the representation on these boards, Im going to guess Hobart is going toget very few votes, but I have that team in the top three - yet voted for 2006 Fisher.

I don't think it's reasonable to compare the all east region brackets from pre 2007, or around there,  with post when you got more mixed brackets in general. If you buy what mgt here is selling (and with more evidence, I'm skeptical outside of about 3-4 conferences), then the 7 sees in most other regions would take a 1-2 seed in a pure east bracket.  I junk there's always excuses and hypocrisy in these comments as people get anchored on their worldviews and are incapable of flexibility (citing John Carroll in the East at this point is just plain stupid - for example).

By the way, what I said on the E8 board was in reference programs not individual seasons.

Well, lets just do that.

Well, if you change the question, I'd change my vote. Kind of voids the voting that's taken place already.

Don't see how you  leave Trinity off this list

They haven't beaten one of the teams listed in the poll.  I'd say that's a good reason to leave them off the list.

lumbercat---please tell us you were kidding.....

Definitely off the list

[D3MAFAN]

Don't see how you  leave Trinity off this list

You tell me why they should be on the list?

[Yanks 99]

Don't see how you  leave Trinity off this list

How many NCAA tournament games have they won?

I don't think I can vote for them simply because they have beaten Hamilton 10 years in a row...

You tell me why they should be on the list?

Because they are an East Region team that has gone something like 73-7 in the last 10 years?
Why wouldn't you? Because we have no idea if that makes them any good or not. But certainly a team that legitimately could be part of the discussion, even if there is no way to actually include them in an answer

Fisher alum- dead serious 74-6 in last 10 years

Johnny u- no one on the list has beaten Trinity

[Jonny Utah]

Fisher alum- dead serious 74-6 in last 10 years

Johnny u- no one on the list has beaten Trinity

No one on the list has beaten South Boston High School either, but everyone on the list has made the playoffs.

I was just wondering what Rowan is doing in that list.. They haven't been relevant since Keeler left..
I vote to replace Rowan with Middlebury!

Yea if you compared Hobarts and SJF seasons, I would rate them like this:

2003- SJF
2004- Even
2005- Hobart
2006- SJF
2007- SJF
2008- Hobart
2009- Even
2010- SJF
2011- Hobart
2012- Hobart

I think you might be able to give SJF a slight nod in 2009, since they played MUC and could have gone 8-2 if they had played a regular team instead?  But basically that's 4 for Hobart and 4 for SJF.  Hobart probably had a few more dud seasons in there, and the 9 game thing sticks in my mind as well.  I think SJF did better on the national scene overall, but Hobart always seems to beat the teams they need to beat, while SJF seems to shock the world with one loss to a very crappy team every year or so.
