Brevard Colleg

http://www.aacsports.com/

Appalacian Athletic Conference.

Brevard College has contacted the NCAA and is now undergoing their first year as an "exploratory" member. It will take awhile for the process to be completed. After being an exporatory member, a College/University must then become a provisional member. Full membership for Brevard (and thus inclusion in an NCAA Div II conference) probably won't happen until 2010-2011 at the earliest.

Here is an extract of the membership report from the NCAA web site.

Are you sure about that?

I've heard of TRhit's and Dibble's Fun Fund basin but not the Permian Basin...I'd be concerned if I went there and I got caught doing something bad that it would end up on my 'Permian' record...we all know how terrible that would be!

The "Permian" Mass Extinction

- Permian Period (286-248 million years ago)

- Terrestrial faunal diversification occurred in the Permian. (TR and Dibble born. Debate still raging if were via cloning or does the evidence just support bi-polarism).

- 90-95% of marine species became extinct in the Permian (See definition: Seafood Buffet)

- Though this mass extinction was attributed in popular history to the actions of the Texas Rangers, it pre-dates that time, making the University of Texas at the Permian Basin, not Harvard, the oldest college in the Nation and possibly the oldest in the world.

I was hoping we could get some of the members of the Dead Zone to join in on the topic, but I see they are all still dead.

O well.

Or else they couldn't bring themselves down to our level.

Maybe if I challenge some of the good ole boys from the West of the state they will start coming in here and posting. How about this I will name an all East NC baseball team and say that it will beat down the all West NC baseball team. Think some of them will respond in here then? Getting the Eastern boys to come in here is out of the question because they wont come on any board and talk baseball. Only a couple me and Southern1. What do you think?

Coach May, that's as good as any method I could come up with.

coach may,
still waiting on that all east team. could be a difficult task.
