NEW FEATURE AT PATRIOTLEAGUEHOOPS.COM: FLANNERY MELTDOWN METER
This week brings the introduction of a new feature here at PLHOOPS.COM, the Flannery Meltdown Meter. This week Pat is at a 6. With zero wins and four losses, you have to think that another few losses in a row might drive Coach Flannery into a rage that will be dangerous for everyone in the surrounding area. If it gets to this point, your PL blogger will issue a warning. Stay tuned. @ 4:00 PM 2 HC Alums are angry about this post | Bitch about it on the PL hoops messageboard

SOME THOUGHTS, IN OLD TIMEY NEWSPAPER ITEM STYLE
ITEM! What is the worse scenario, Dick Vitale doing commentary on a Lafayette basketball game, or Lafayette not being on TV at all?
ITEM! Chris McNaughton was 1-3 from FG and 2-6 from the line with one rebound in only 20 minutes versus Wake Forest. This follows a 3-10 FG performance versus Albany in 35 minutes, tallying four rebounds. Is this a Super-Senior Slump?
ITEM! Navy's Freshman Sensation Trey Stanton has come out of nowhere to lead the team in scoring and shooting percentage, while averaging the second highest amount of minutes on the team. A steal for Billy Lange!
ITEM! American University is 2-0, and your PL blogger has not even seen them live yet! Could it be that he is a jinx on the program? Stay tuned!
ITEM! Did anyone else notice the irony of Wake Forest jumping around and being overjoyed at defeating Bucknell on the road? Did the scene remind you of anything?
ITEM! Navy's foul troubles continue this season, while they've slowed down their previously speedy offense. But they're winning. This blogger still likes Navy to win 1-2 league tournament games!
ITEM! Yeah, I know I said I was going to slow down on blogging, but sometimes it is a helpful procrastination tool! @ 1:20 PM 2 HC Alums are angry about this post | Bitch about it on the PL hoops messageboard

GONE FISHIN
I don't plan on doing much blogging this year. But you already knew that. Chris at Hoop Time is putting us all to shame with his excellent work lately. Also, if you pay for Basketball U's stupid service, you are an idiot. Wow, a list of links to news articles about the Patriot League. Google News alerts are basically the same thing. Give your money to charity (or better yet, Hoop Time) instead. At least Chris does it because he likes it, not because he's trying to turn a profit.
Even though I'm on about a year long hiatus, here's my predictions for the 2007 final standings:
1) AU - I'm going back to partisanship. AU is too old and too deep to not finally get it done for your PL blogger.
2) Holy Cross - Because they can still play D
3) Bucknell - McNaughton gets exposed without the wing play he had last year
4) Navy - I am a Billy Lange Believer
5) Lehigh - Unless Olivero scores 30 a night, who is going to get it done?
6) Colgate - The best PL team in NY! How long will Emmett Davis be allowed to field sub-.500 teams? Probably until Hell freezes over or Hamilton, NY melts.
7) Army - This is your last chance to watch Matt B in action. Matt Bell that is. If he's healthy, they could move up to #6.
8) Lafayette - Should have gone to DIII. @ 10:58 PM 5 HC Alums are angry about this post | Bitch about it on the PL hoops messageboard
