Around the AE/country
« Reply #210 on: February 01, 2020, 01:32:44 pm »
Today’s Hartford/Maine game is at THE PIT. I read that Maine had committed to making renovations and having it become their full time home in the early 2010s. I wonder what happened.

There are times I think the AE is a decent home for us given the fact that all the schools are public, geographically reasonable for travel, and pretty well regarded academically..... then I see pictures like that of Maine's middle school gym and think we need to GTFO out of here ASAP!!

Or, not AE related, but the number of people who use “Stony Brook” as a comparison for bad. Highlighted more this week with the Reyes-Jones fight.

The CBI has been canceled. We'll see if the CIT follows suit.

I fully realize that this is not earth-shattering news.

I posted this in the wrong thread originally:

Sam Sessons of Bing just went free agent in the Transfer portal.
How old a Seawolf am I? I followed them during their Final 4 DIII hoops run in 1977-78 (they were called the Patriots then)

UMass Lowell junior point guard Jordyn Owens has entered the transfer portal, per source. Averaged 5.8 points, 1.7 rebounds and 3 assists this year.

I'm ok with this. Anything lower than the NIT shouldn't exist I think. Just like half of the FBS bowl games are useless IMO. Giving post season games just for the hell of it to team that aren't very good just doesn't make sense to me.

Good for them. Lamb and Duncan deserve this. Do you really think SB men's BB will be a contender next season for the AE title?? I dont.  I feel bad for the SBW BB. 28-3 is amzing. To throw all that away is so sad. These chicks bsoutley had a chance to make the NCAA with Pagan back on the team.

Maybe that means Hilaire and Clark and Dixon could potentially come back for the women? Guess we'll see.

Lamb and Duncan can go **** themselves, as far as I'm concerned, they played an entire season sans 2+ games.

I agree with giving spring sports athletes that extra year, but for them? Nah.

Lamb comes back - scores 500 points and is now the all time Vermont scoring leader with 5 seasons worth of numbers.  You get to play 4 period.

100%. No way they give winter athletes another year.

LOL. As sad as the end of this season was, I have no doubt we'd be the favorite in the AE with Lamb and potentially Sessoms gone. Even with Ford's questionable coaching. I said that if Ford doesn't win the AE next year he needs to be let go. Continuity is the reason I say we don't let him go now. We'll have a lot of seniors next year and potentially changing up the system and adding a new coach now ahead of that wouldn't be wise IMO.
