Re: VIDEO CLIPS PLEASE..
Good luck! I once was a pool champ as well. Nothing on the lines you are talking about. Small bars and I was very young. Used to play about 3 hours a day. Again, nothing like you are talking about. I put my cue up when my Uncle was left on a dock in Memphis, Tennessee for "hustling." Haven't used it since. I still have it but haven't played in over 25 years. Old kind and since I was small, major counterweight on the end which also served as a weapon. Ironically, as much as I loved it back...

BBdad2007, by the way, in the past year LG won the CCSD2 title, split with Bellarmine (D1 champ), lost to VC 2-1, and kind of dominated a scrimmage with Mitty. Wilcox and Palo Alto, who are in our league, have also fared very well in recent years vs. the WCAL.

Re: Harvard
BTW - Harvard is usually a pretty good Ivy League team and is usually still alive in the competition for Red Rolfe division champion on the last weekend of the Ivy season. Winner of Red Rolfe plays 3 game series for Ivy League championship vs. Lou Gehrig division winner. Ivy Champ then gets toasted in NCAA regionals in 2 or 3 games.

Re: Cam Newton thing
Moved to Al 23 years ago from South Florida, my point is I have no dog in the fight. Truth is, in this state, even after (or especially after) a national championship Bammers can't stand the thought of an Auburn nat. champ/Heisman winner doublewhammy and this is an intentionally timed smear campaign. Focus is now no longer on the team's success but on possible scandal. Mission accomplished. PS. I know it started with Miss. State but in the SEC all 11 opponents are snakes that will conspire...

Re: Cam Newton thing
So, Alabama did this to Auburn? If not directly, by ganging up with the other members of the SEC and MSU drew the "rat on them" straw? I don't buy it. Neither Newton nor Auburn are victims here. With that logic, Bernie Madoff was the victim because Harry Markopolos blew the whistle on Madoff. One word...silly.

On a different note, I have a question about who advances to the regional tourney. I know that since Manchester was the regular season champ, they move on no matter what. The second team to move on is whoever plays Manchester in the final or whoever wins the tournament Thursday if the Manchester bus can't find the Cosby field today?

We have not beaten these guys in at least 3 years. I was hoping for a little payback this year...I think the only song I'd need is Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls." Get on your bikes and ride!

I called the fall of Goffstown, They are one of the better teams in Class L, but not the top team. Mike as for the 3 game series format, I like the idea, but I think it is more important to get a real state champion, Portsmouth can agrue that they were the best team in the state, but because they're in a lower class, some would think they are not. Class L plays Class M champ, Class I plays Class S champ and winners face off for real state championship.

Re: 3/24 games? Rain outs?
With 6 out of 7 teams making the tourney, they ought to just seed them all and let 'em all play. Just one bye, to the regular season champ. With the city teams gone, this is like musical chairs. One team has no chair when the season ends. When you eliminate only one team, that's kind of silly. Either eliminate more, or none. It wasn't that long ago the district tourney was for only the top 4.

Re: 3/24 games? Rain outs?
I agree Midlo. Play them all OR seed the top 4 IMHO and be done with it. While we're at it, we should play back to back games in the regular season district games like they do in college. In that manner, you will see the top pitching that each team can offer. There is no hiding or ducking a pitcher or matchup. Your top 4 teams will be your top 4 teams if you follow that format. I hate to see kids quit or get dismissed if that is true. I hope they can work it out at Midlothian.
