I'm not seeing us keeping it close. They lost two in a row , had time to practice and recover ! It's a blowout unless they miss early from 3 and that's known to happen to opponents at the ARC!

OL.   That is a very good addition.

Now if Fox can find a couple of "O" coaches to augment the (only) three that are listed on the website (missing at least are TEs and RBs at this point) we might be able to do better than predictable three and outs.

Just a heads up, as I'm seeing a lot of folks registering but not confirming their account.

When you register, be sure to click the check box that says "I agree to receive an email confirmation with a link to set a password" just above the Register button.

If you registered but haven't received the confirmation email, post here and I'll resend it.

Preston Ruedinger had quite the week for Green Bay and was named  HL POW. He scored 16 and 26 in the two HL games the past week shooting 48% from the floor including 57% from the arc.  Also averaged 4.5 RBs and 3 assists. Happy for him.

GB, who we beat earlier this season and won only three games last season, is three wins away from a 20 win turnaround season. They currently lead the HL with a 12-3 record. Oakland is second at 11-4.

You know GB is making some people take notice when the NY Times does a major writeup on GB's worst to first turnaround in year one of Wicks' tenure.

[Hope there is no paywall]. In case there is here are a couple things: GB won only 3 games last year.  They have gone form a NET of 361 last year to 187 this season.

There is a big caveat/qualifier to this story, however, when you compare GB's first year and Valpo's first year stories:  HL v. MVC.  Even so, ya gotta hand it to Wicks.

I have implemented several features on the new site:
- Private messages
- Polls
- Video embeds
- Customizable emojis

Additionally, starting today, I will be locking this board down for *NEW* topics.

The board will remain open and available for all existing topics, but I request that new topics (including game threads) be created on the new site.

If you haven't yet joined us over there, please do! I continue to tinker with the settings and usability, but I think overall, it is a much improved user experience than we have here.

If you have any issues at all with the new site, please reach out to me here.

Thanks again for your flexibility and understanding!
