University of Puget Sound didn't make it, because they finished third in the NW conf.! Also the fact that they did not play anyone in the preseason.posted on November 6th at 9:55 am
keene over plattsburg makes perfect sense... keene is 9-0-3 in the last 12 games and they beat middlebury when they were ranked 5th williams when they were ranked 8th as well as wnec and 4 other top 10 teams in New England...kevin posted on November 6th at 8:00 am

I agree with Coach Brown. If anyone hasn't seen this news release, it was brought to me by a mother. Of Children. Let me tell you why I want to talk about that news release. Three fourths of this is inaccurate. It's fiction. And it embarrasses me to be involved with athletics. Tremendously. And that news release had to have been proposed by a person who doesn't have a CHILD. And has never had a child that's HAD THEIR HEART BROKEN AND COME HOME upset. And had to deal with the child when he is upset. AND KICK A PERSON WHEN HE'S DOWN. Here's all this team did. We go to class. We're respectful to the media. We're respectful to the PUBLIC. And we're good kids and we're not professional athletes and we don't deserve to be kicked when we're down. If you have a child someday, you'll understand how it feels. But you obviously don't have a child. I do. IF YOUR CHILD GOES DOWN THE STREET and somebody makes fun of him BECAUSE HE DROPPED A PASS IN A PICKUP GAME OR SAYS HE'S FAT AND HE COMES HOME CRYIN TO HIS MOM you'd understand. But you haven't had that. But someday you will. And when your child comes home, you'll understand. IF YOU WANNA GO AFTER AN ATHLETE, ONE OF MY ATHLETES, you go after one that doesn't do the right things, like Nate Pritchard. YOU DON'T DOWNGRADE US BECAUSE WE DO EVERYTHING RIGHT, AND MAY NOT PLAY AS WELL ON SATURDAYS. You let us make that deciscion. THAT'S WHY I DON'T READ THE NEWS RELEASE. Because its GARBAGE. AND THE COMMITTEE that let it come out IS GARBAGE. ATTACKIN some amateur athletes FOR DOIN EVERYTHING RIGHT, except Nate Pritchard. And then you want to write articles about guys that don't do everything right, and downgrade him, the ones who do make plays. Are you kidding me? WHERE are we at in society today? COME AFTER ME. I'M A MAN. I'M 40. I'M NOT A KID. Write something about me. Or our coaches. Don't write it about some kids, that do everything right, whose hearts' are broken. And then say that the coaches said they were scared. THAT AIN'T TRUE! And then to say that we made that decision because of Matthew Woods, because he threatened to transfer THAT'S NOT TRUE! So get your FACTS straight. And I hope someday you do have a child, and someday somebody downgrades him and belittles him and you have to look him in the eye and say "you know what, it's ok, they're supposed to be mature adults, but they're really not." Who's the kid here? Who's the kid here? Are you kidding me? And that's all I really got to say. Makes me wanna puke.Dorian posted on November 5th at 6:03 pm
Carthage flat out should not have made it. They have way to many loses and did not get a win in their conference tourney.Coach Brown posted on November 5th at 5:51 pm
How did Kenyon not make the tourney? Three quarters of this list is inaccurate, it's fiction!Gezzy posted on November 5th at 5:35 pm
