Nik didn't get the Sportmanship award?

I checked the Canisius board. Seems a few fans aren't overly thrilled with Baron's coaching. They want the AD fired for hiring him. Some references to the players not liking or respecting him.
Now that sounds familiar.

ramfan85

Great post, TP. Thanks for keeping us all informed. it's really appreciated.

How long before all the BCS shills on ESPN start questioning if The Zags really "deserve" a no.1 seeding. Remember the BS when SJU got it years ago?

ramfan85

With a 15-3 run Wichita State in the closing minutes produced a thriller, but Creighton finally prevailed, 68-65 and gets the Missouri Valley automatic bid. Now will Wichita State get a NCAA bid with a 26-8 record? This could be interesting. I don't know how the MV bids are annually compared to the...

I think they have to wait until his senior yr. to apply for another year.

With all these changes in the Boston radio market, I wonder if there's a regular gig for Scottso and his buddy, "P90X" Shepard?

ramfan85

America 12 sounds like half of a football score.

America 12 Atlantic 10 (close game)

ramfan85

That picture is funny. Put a mustache and a cheap suit on it and it looks like someone we all knew.

As for Richmond, when I think of him all I remember is the UNC game.

ramfan85

Martin may have a quicker impact because of his position. We've got guards, but few forwards. He'll bring a new look to our team.

ramfan85

Here's Bobby's reaction to the game, and he gets a response....Oats is EC's high school coach. Bobby Hurley‏@BobbyHurley11 My basketball soul is under attack Nate Oats‏@nate_oats @BobbyHurley11 I've got the remedy for you coming soon! I like this. Sounds like he has a good relationship with EC's co...

St. Baron looks like he's blessing his team.

ramfan85

As bad a game as I can remember. Living statues on defense. Lousy shooting percentage, and, a lot were close. I was hoping Hurley would have benched everyone at half and played the walk-ons, managers, mascot, whoever. There is no excuse for this effort. Everyone should storm the court after Saturday...

ramfan85

I don't care who Rutgers may or may not hire. I just don't want it to be a Hurley.

ramfan85

I stand corrected....There are 3 reasons.

ramfan85

Is Jim Baron in charge of the A-10 publicity? Just silence, as if it were a top secret operation. The C-7 were happy to play out their drama in the media spotlight. I'd like to read more than wry smiles are their response to being raided. Correct. When someone give a "wry smile" as a resp...

ramfan85

I find it interesting that they haven't even received a verbal (exit) from the two teams yet.

ramfan85

Why don't we just ask Fox to add the new teams and then sign us to a lucrative tv contract. Then, the only thing the A10 will have to do is secretly raise the exit fee for all Virginia teams to around $100M.

ramfan85

Who would have thought in December that PC would be where they are today. Hate to say it, but, pretty impressive.

ramfan85

It's a tie between when Rod told me Baron was fired and when he told me that the Hurleys were hired.
Every minute since has been pretty good. That is until a few days ago.

ramfan85

I heard Billy didn't start today. Think he might transfer?

ramfan85

I'm all for getting good teams in the South, if possible. but, forgetting about the Midwest is saying goodbye to StL and Dayton. Maybe that ship has already sailed. Who knows? But, if we're in a conference where it's easier to get a bid, we're probably in a one bid conference. I'm not buying the fac...

ramfan85

It might be a good idea to sign this kid before he's old enough to read about our best teams leaving...

ramfan85

Remember teams in the 70's and 80's that would score 45-50 points in a half? Many of those teams weren't that good, either. It was everyone. And, that was before the 3 point shot.

ramfan85

Of all these departing teams, I'm going to miss Temple the most. Throughout our league's history, we've always been able to at least say that we had them to carry the banner. I think we ought to seriously look into forming a western division. It may help with St.L and Dayton. I can't see either of t...

"the NCAA is so mad at Kentucky, it will probably slap another two years' probation on Cleveland State."

What exactly did they do? Or have the specifics been withheld at this point?

That's funny. I never heard that before.

ramfan85

Wow...Did they kill someone?

ramfan85

NJ has some beautiful places.
But, I'd bet a lot of NJ residents were wishing they lived in EG (or anywhere else) after "Sandy."

ramfan85

I'm not very excited about being "the best of the rest."
As for feeling sorry for UCONN, are you kidding?

ramfan85

Good post, Obie.
Personally, I'm not cheering for any teams that are leaving. I don't care about the tournament money this year. Unfortunately, that really cuts the field down this year.

ramfan85

Yes, Scottso. And, all aspirin are alike. What a tool!

ramfan85

We've always survived, but now we're running out of teams to add. We've lost good programs before.I may be wrong, but I don't think they all left at the same time.
I don't like this at all. I wish we could hear something positive out of the A10 offices.

ramfan85

Did Scottso call you guys paranoid? That's what he called URI fans on his radio sports (golf) show.
He used to drive me cray when he spent time on the air talking about "his" golf game. I should have called in to talk about my day in the dojo. It's about as interesting to listeners.

ramfan85

This is getting more ridiculous by the minute. Whatever happens, we have to find a way to get rid of Fordham (at least). They've been an anchor since day one.

ramfan85

Cooley is having a very good year, yet, I don't see anything about him possibly moving on. I guess it's because he's "home."

ramfan85

Just reading the name "Jerry D." still makes me sick. His hire is what started this whole mess.
Did we really beat StL? That in itself makes this a successful season, in my opinion.

ramfan85

Once more into Madame Marie's Tarot and Palm Readings. Amazing how many people can now tell the future. When was the last time St. John's was anything more than a BE bottom feeder? And yet no calling on the carpet for the Ram fan who predicts great things for URI? Call it both ways Rod. At least wi...

Used to get Lucky at The Lantern, but, that's another story. What a place it was. Where else could you get a great steak and also meet Bobby Sherman????
Maybe we ought to turn this thread into a restaurant review. At least we'd be turning a negative thread into a positive one.

ramfan85

The Golden Lantern.

ramfan85

Twisted is right, Sean. They are going to be a good league. It's going to make it harder for the rest of us to get a non-BCS tournament bid.

ramfan85

The Columbia School of Broadcasting has turned down an offer to join The 7-Ups.

ramfan85

Don't forget "Wild" Red Berry and his Kangaroos. We saw Bob Backland at a URI football game about 10 years ago. I think he was coaching at the Coast Guard Academy. When we yelled at him from across the field, he waved and started walking like he used to in the ring. Funny guy. I've known s...

ramfan85

I remember Petro saying that we were "Aiming for someone who was ON Dancing with the Stars" with this hire."
An easy mistake.

ramfan85

I think URI and Bryant will be the only teams added.

ramfan85

Won't this new C7 conference be considered a mid-major conference?

ramfan85

Just a guess, but I bet this article somehow gets posted on the PC board.

ramfan85

No one bilks people more than televangelists.

ramfan85

Scottso ought to stick to selling insurance and stop talking to Pauly D. He's never been unbiased. Anyone who ever heard his show for 5 minutes knows that. He's from Mass. How come he never went "back home"? I liked him better when he was cruising Elmwood Ave. in his company Hummer (what a...

ramfan85

Pappy will always be my favorite ram. We've never had a nicer, classier player (no disrespect to others). Anyone remember the white souvenir cups with Pappy's and Upshaw's picture on them? They may have come from that PCC tournament. I've had- and used- them (I had a lot of them) until about a year ...

Andre Malone was MIA today.
