Conquer Club

Hey sports fans, I'm looking for some reserves for an American Football style tournament. One spot (on Team Ireland) is currently available, but I'll take a few signups.

viewtopic.php?f=91&t=153832

Standings are updated with results tabulated through the complete Game 23s. Princeton remains the top team in the nation, while Washington State (Pac-12) and Wichita State (Valley) are the only schools remaining with perfect league records.

Planning to send the Game 24 set throughout the day Monday.

NOTE: Remember I'm no longer sending reminder invites, so if you don't have an active or completed Game 22 or 23 set you'll need to check you inbox and join those maps.

Also Syracuse, Southern Illinois and New Mexico are in danger of having replacement coaches brought in if they don't join maps by the end of the day Monday.

Deadbeats will not be allowed to return to this tournament next year AND will be banned from any of my other tournaments for the rest of 2012.

this is to inform you that i completed the sweep against dieris by winning game # 10541142 (iona vs. unc wilmington).

So what happens if Syracuse doesn't join his game against me?

forfeit in your favor

Can you resend the invitation for the Game 23 for me. I lost it.

LSU is 4-6 since former Fresno State coach AmphibiousRodent took over as interim coach. That may not sound so hot, but LSU was 2-10 when the switch was made, and AR's run includes a 78-69 win over then-No. 2 Arkansas. Geaux Tigers!

UCSB moves within 1 of Santa Clara for the Conference lead. They started the season off rough, 5-11 (0-3), despite beating #22 Purdue (then #8) in the opener on the road. Since the rough start however, the Gauchos have picked it up with 5 straight wins, all in WCC play, to make them 10-11 (5-3). This has been an incredible shift in play, allowing them to rise up from last in the conference to tied for second, one game back on the Broncos. They play Santa Clara this week on ESPN, (Game 10541806,Game 10541807,Game 10541808).

After picking up 3 losses in 6 games heading into the Christmas Break including 2 league losses, the Toledo Rockets have rebounded. Now at #8 in the rankings, have picked up 8 straight to reach 21-4 (10-2 in league) overall. Six wins bookended by forfeits from a Buffalo program that has cancelled its basketball season will almost certainly see the Rockets to the top of the MAC standings. After a game 14 loss against nearby conference rival Eastern Michigan, the Rockets traveled to Buffalo right as the Bisons were calling off the remainder of the season.

The rest did Toledo well, as they rolled through a 5-game homestand defeating opponents by an average of 30 points per contest. The toughest opponent was the other ranked program in the MAC, Bowling Green. Toledo defeated Bowling Green in a hard fought 79-70 victory that was contested until the end. Despite struggles on the road earlier this season (3 of its 4 losses have been in games played outside of Toledo), Toledo put on a clinic at Northern Illinois with a 98-48 victory. Toledo will face some of its most serious tests of the season in the next few weeks as they travel to again face Bowling Green and have one home and one away game with a Kent State team that has flirted with the Top-40 all season.

Barring a late-season implosion, Toledo has virtually secured a bid to the Dance. But Head Coach Agentcom made it clear that the Rockets don't plan on coasting. "We're playing for a conference championship first. That means taking it one game at a time and winning these conference games. Then we'll start thinking about the tournament."

this is to inform you that i won game # 10569682 against pantheon (iona vs. fairfield).

some news I wish I didn't have to report, but if pms are correct it appears that Alabama's coach SouthernWarrior passed away this week...RIP

For tourney purposes I put out a feeler in the Immediate Openings forum and will give that a few days. If no one shows up by the weekend, we'll just forfeit the rest of 'Bama's games.

Nebraska continues being undefeated in top 25 play with a victory over Michigan, but enjoys losing to cadets and the bottom feeders.

Very sad.

The Princeton team is wearing black "SW" armbands for the remainder of its games this season.

UCSB is in. Gold SW on the right shoulder and a moment of silence at the next game.
Very sad. I didn't know him, but still very sad.

LSU is in as well.

It will follow along with the regular season format through the early rounds before adopting the March Madness format once it heads to Madison Square Garden for the semifinals. No prizes for this consolation tourney…this is simply for fun and bragging rights.

You should talk to DJ Teflon about getting a GA Medal for the winner of the NIT.

And retroactively issue them to previous NIT winners IMO.

Bowling Green opts to wear the armbands as well. A sad time in NCAA.

busy time at work...trying to catch up on results (turned a bunch of archived weeks red...completed), now working on the recent weeks. Also hoping to get Game 26s out on Wednesday.

Congrats to mizzou3181 who has Illinois at the top of the rankings for the first time this season, ending Princeton's month-long stay in the top spot.

Conference standings updates coming within the hour.

standings are updated through the Game 25 set...sending Game 26s today/tonight.

thanks for your patience.

7-0 vs the Top 25 and I'm taking number 13 down to the wire at home. That's how you get to the top!

i hope so, i am hoping to go 5-0 if i beat #1 Illinois this week and have already defeated them before. But at least i am back in the top 50

I-L-L I-N-I

At least one Illinois Basketball team is doing well. Now if only Bruce Weber could get the ax.
