  1. Rifle Team Two Match Slide

    in Other Sports

    Posted

    I can't believe we lost to those two squads. I think our match strategies have lacked the kind of imagination that it takes to be competitive at the regional level, let alone the national level. How long are we gonna keep our current gun coach? It is my understanding that our current coach had no previous head gun coaching experience before assuming the position here. I think we are overdue for a change.

  2. Travel Arrangements

    I'm looking at driving out to Santa Barbara to check out the games (10 hour drive for me). Being a poor college student I'm hoping someone would like to split hotel costs (at a reasonable to cheap hotel) for friday, saturday, and sunday. Really that's the biggest cost that would prohibit me from going.

    Hey 32! Look forward to meeting you. Santa Barbara's gotta be warmer than Oregon in December. Best I can offer you is advice that there are a few motels in the area that run less than $100/night. The Sandpiper on State St. outside downtown SB is maybe the cheapest ( I recall seeing it at around 70). Also, check out UCSB's tournament site, because they have student discounts on tickets, and I believe also on hotels.

    Go Zips! :NCAAC:

    Hey! Actually I'm in school working on my doctorate in Phoenix, so it might be about the same or cooler. I also have a final that Monday afternoon, so it would be an interesting speedy drive back to get there in time. LOL. Still trying to figure out if I can wing it, but it would be amazing to go.

    lol got to stick up for my husband :bow: . Bolt I will be impressed with that number when you run that in full pads, not running in a straight line, show some lateral quickness threw some athletes that want your head, after you caught a ball. But Bolt your still the fastest guy on a treadmill. Sorry track fans I know your athletes, just I hope some day the schools think your athletic enough to get full scholarships. I didn't know I would cause this much controversy just trying to stick up for one of my all time favorite Zips Getsy, who led us to out sole MAC ship.

    Ok, how about the men's soccer athletes. They don't all get full rides and they're a national contender in the most popular sport in the world. That's more than just running on a treadmill.

    Does your football/penis envy have to come through on every thread?

    Penis envy? I love penis! It's more of a massive eye roll that you guys pity the poor football player who actually has to pay tuition AND cover his own living expenses. I mean, god forbid they don't get everything handed to them. Because of Title IX the other male teams get less scholarship money than even their female counter parts. Many of the non-football male athletes have to do the same. So why don't you guys pity the track athletes too? And don't give me that crap about football being the biggest money maker, cause it's also the program that is the furthest in the red.

    Especially given the fact that Harris wouldn't give him a release, which meant Akron had to wait a year to give him a scholarship. This forced him to pay out of state tuition in his first year here when he was sitting out and running the scout team, not to mention he had to cover his own living expenses. I don't know, but if a guy set me back 20k just because he wanted to be a dick, I'd have some "hard feelings".

    Welcome to the life of the other 80-90% of student athletes.

    when the best (sorry, they are the best, they proved it) MAC team is shuffled off to the NIT?Tell me.
    Bullshit...if they were the best, they'd be playing tonight. Them being a bad matchup for Akron doesn't make them the best team in the conference (EMU was a bad matchup for UA too, doesn't mean they're the best either.)
    +1 I will never willingly support them.

    In terms of those who are done: Stankey, Mississippi = -5 (Done)Morrissey, TCU = -10 (Done)Buck, Army = -10 (Done)Lamson, WVU = -13 (Done)Csenge, Kentucky = -14 (Done)Kulbacki, WVU, -16 (Done)Benjamin, Akron = -20Sojka, Murray = -20 (Done)Barber, Murray = -21 (Done)Carr, Army = -26 (Done)Jeffries, Nebraska = -28 (Done)Sarah is having a bad target....probably did the math in her head and knew she might make it which psyched her out.
    couple of 8's? OUCH!

    At this point, here is my tally from a perfect score, not including centers:Bures, Alaska = -2Rutter, Alaska = -3Stankey, Mississippi = -3Buck, Army = -5Lorenzen, TCU = -5Lankes, Navy = -5Benjamin, Akron = -8Kim, Nebraska = -8Wang, Navy = -8Lamson, WVU = -8Morrissey, TCU = -8
    Bures = -13And you have to take into account how many shots they have to go. Stankey is down three with only 16 shots to go.
    Are you extrapolating this? Regardless, it is misleading, which is why a plot would be helpful. Sarah is on a run, she dropped 4 on her last card and is cleaning this card.
    Yep. I don't take into account turn arounds, and assume they will continue with the status quo. 590 from Morrissey. VERY respectable score.

    Stankey is hot! I feel for Bures, I coached him one summer when I was working with the CMP. He can't be taking this well. Carr is working back into it. Lanks, Lorenzen, and Rutter only dropping one so far. Depending on how Bures fares, I think TCU might take home the team trophy. They're VERY good this year.

    Sarah holding her own. Don't know the total score but in this set of targets, she's right in the mix for #2.
    The winner going into the final will only drop 10 points or less (score 590 or higher). To have a shot at over taking the leader in the final, one would have to be within a point or two, unless leader does major choking in the final.
