What WOULD be exciting is a nice tourney win. Go Ramblers!


Yeah cause you big city schools are so interesting. You can make all the comments you want about how no one is interested in us because we are from small towns. It just simply isn't true, you have a warped perception of reality if you think that horizon league teams from "big cities" drew more attention. If you don't get a spot in the local newspapers, its not the rest of the leagues fault, its that you haven't peaked the interest of enough people to warrant them writing stories on you. Sorry rant over rogirl always hates on small towns lol

Meanwhile, the Horizon League Tournament begins tomorrow in... [drum roll, opens envelope] beautiful, exciting, Green Bay, Wisconsin. Tomorrow night Valparaiso willl face Milwaukee, and Wright State will face Oakland (the suburb of Detroit, not the city in California).

This is actually the second round of the tournament, because games were held in Valparaiso, Indiana; Milwaukee; and Rochester, Michigan on Tuesday.

The tournament will continue on Saturday, as #1 seed Green Bay faces the winner of the Valpo/Milwaukee game, and Cleveland State faces the winner of the Wright State/Oakland game.

The championship will be held Tuesday in one of the the four following cities: Green Bay, Cleveland, Fairborn, Ohio, or Milwaukee... (depending on the outcome of the Saturday games). So don't buy your tickets or hotel rooms for the final on Tuesday yet, because you don't know what state or time zone it's going to be in... Now THAT'S what I call excitement!!!
