Liberty
ORU
BYU
Seton Hall

This tourney has been discussed before- great opportunity for D to show how much the team has improved, and a good benchmark for them to gauge how they stack up against good midmajor teams.

I'm assuming though, that we will NOT have Brew-pub for this or any other matchups prior to Jan. Correct?

We will have Brew for this, after Dec 13th or 14th he is able to suit up... The tourney is Dec 28th-30th, by the way Oklahoma is the only road game before we get Brew

Which of these teams does not fit?

well we will play them all once, so we will definitely know how we are going into conference play, but the good thing about this tourney is the fact that the group will have several games under there belt and be much more comfortable

They ALL fit. Seton Hall has a great Catholic tradition. You have a rather eclectic group of religious schools there.

Yes and High Point is Presbyterian. Now which one does not fit?

They're all on a "mission from God."

If any don't fit it is LU--a TRUE believer University--that changes lives--one degree at a time.

Easy now, AG. I realize that was written facetiously. But come on ...

That said, I can't wait to take it to the Mormons. :P

Are you kidding me? ESPN shoule be ALL over the tournament. They could call it the "End of Times (YEAR) Religous War!"
In the first round you have the Mormons v Baptists and in the Second game the Pentacostal's v the Catholics!! You could do special features with Richard and Oral, the Pope, Jerry, and ........................John Smith being channeled from Jon Edwards - he is the guy who has the show where he communicates to people from "beyond", plus you could call him Jonathon Edwards, and have EVEN MORE marketing tie is. IT's GOlD JERRY GOLD!!

It's panfan! Hooray!

But really that doesnt matter and nobody cares. My point still stands.

Welcome to the board Panfan...what took you so long?

Aside from that, I also beat you to the technicality. I also wouldn't mind replacing Seton Hall with Notre Dame, but its a bit late for that and Seton Hall does have a decent program.

PANFAN you know you're eventually going to have to explain the KOL to everyone.

"KOL" only stands for," keep on landscaping",which I invented 3 years ago.I'll post here from time to time if you folks will post on the HPU site especially involving Ian, HYPE and others.I am ,by nature,a bit of an instigator and they are not.PAmedic,I'll say again that HPU is doing some heavy recruiting in the Philly/NJ area.They signed a player from NJ and one from Pittsburgh this year.

The above post is almost directly from HPU

Stop by often, panfan01. We love getting the perspective from other schools int he league. Tell Ian to come join us as well.

"The landscape is changing!" :lol:

I forgot all about that garbage. You started saying that about 3 maybe 4 years ago and everything is exactly as it was. I think maybe you need to get a new landscaper. Yours apparently doesnt use enough illegal mexicans and is probably unionized. That's why they're not getting anything done.

I'll post on HPU's board if you send your crew up here to the 'burbs- MrsPA is on me about the weeds in the front flower beds and the shrubs that I've killed. Which is half of them :(

Come on now,worry about China,India and Iran,not a bunch of folks trying to feed their families!The landscape has changed,4 years ago HPU was not a factor in any D-1 sport,today they are.Four years ago the BS conference got little or no respect,that certainly has changed.LUconn needs to improve his cognitive reasoning before making brash statements."THE LANDSCAPE IS CHANGING" and will continue to do so .GO PANTHERS
