I love how the Preseason evaluation thread has turned into a flame war. Ditto, damn it's hot in here. I dont want to stray off course from the main idea of this thread, but anyway, just wanted to clear up that Dan and I (we're both in Boston museum-hopping) understand what Doug's been saying and ev...

Just double checking, is this a prediction of how teams will rank for the beginning of the year or prematurely ranking who we think will be top 25 by the end of the year?

gonzagaeagleahy

Unless it's a priest who likes a whiskey and coke while watching SNL and who orders margaritas at Applebee's.

gonzagaeagleahy

I guess I'll post my prediction for the top few teams for the BEGINNING of next year. Notice, I am not trying to predict whose gonna do well at nationals or anything because there is so much time and so much possible change until may/june of 2008 and like chris said, it really depends on certain tea...

gonzagaeagleahy

I think poll is good idea. It'll be hectic but interesting I'm sure.

gonzagaeagleahy

Oh yeah and Gonzaga's awesome. I'm holding my breath for the tournament you show up at drunk. THE tournament??? mwahaha oh yeah and earlier I failed to mention Gov's team next year. Before MSM i had no clue what to expect and hence expected the worst, but coming out of it I see that Gov has put tog...

Anyone have any different or new opinions upon coming back from ACE camp? We can't really learn anything about the schools who didn't go to MSM and are predicted to be good (TJ, Whitman, etc.), but I did see some proof for certain things next season, such as Daichi handily leading WJ, RM being led b...

gonzagaeagleahy

I felt that the new ACE structure was interesting and more or less worked out pretty well because in having quizzes in each class you were pretty much forced to learn lots and lots about each class. I felt that Mr. Huff's Fine Arts class was beast and that the two science classes I took were pretty ...

Brindlee Mountain A deserves to be in the top 10 in my opinion. At PACE, my team(Novi) won against New Trier, almost beat Gonzaga, lost to Maggie Walker really badly, and then proceeded to get completely annihilated by Brindlee Mountain A(by like 400 points). Maybe the questions in the round which ...

Do you know which set will be used?

gonzagaeagleahy

Mr. Bykowski, I don't know if you're missing any tournaments for us or something, but you have Gonzaga ending up 113-32 when I know we finished around 151-34.

gonzagaeagleahy

the scores will be put together to give each camper a handicap in the subject matter contest of their choice. I understand the handicap counting as starting out with automatic points, but are they also going to determine who you're going to play in the first subject rounds? This could serve as a pr...

gonzagaeagleahy

Do you know already what set you're planning to use?

gonzagaeagleahy

Oh i know. Just not when you have to take them in your most detested subject (science). Oh well, I'll take one for the team.

gonzagaeagleahy

Due to the whole no majors at the MSM camp, are there still gonna be quizzes for one of the classes?

gonzagaeagleahy

Well, in receiving many polls we can only hope that they all balance out, can't we.

gonzagaeagleahy

Chris, Dan and I will have questions written by Saturday.

gonzagaeagleahy

The highest scorers on the camp test were: 1. John Brown, Rockford Auburn 2. Greg Gauthier, Wheaton North 2. Siva (don't remember last name or school) 3. Terin Budine, Savannah Do you know what the top score specifically was, so that we'll be able to compare it to the other ACE campers from the oth...

I wish I were at ACE camp. But I have to wait 20 more days. NOOO.

Not our B-team haha.

Maybe we could go for like the first half and then just not do the playoffs. Iuno.

gonzagaeagleahy

Based on the list, though, we're probably gonna be one of the later tapings, which does not bode well for trying to do both.

gonzagaeagleahy

Just wanted to let you know that Gonzaga will definitely be registering soon. I was gonna register for us but then I realized how mad Father Meehan may get cause he has a crazy temper, so I guess we'll just wait until he does it. Eventually.

gonzagaeagleahy

That sucks. Gonzaga's not going to be able to make it cause that's our first taping date.

Gonzaga's gonna be bringing 5 players to MSM and we may be bringing a sixth.

gonzagaeagleahy

Logic/illogic of what we are doing at MSM 1. We knew the MSM camp would be small, our smallest in years. It has turned out that way. 2. The major-minor system has worked fine. But a number of people have asked about doing parts of majors or somehow splitting their time between majors. This new syst...

So I know about the no majors/minors at Mount Saint Mary's and understand how it would work, but is there any reason why Mount St. Mary's was chosen for this format as opposed to the others?

gonzagaeagleahy

I don't think you should necessarily rely on the past years to decide how many teams from each state are allowed for the next HSNCT. In just one year teams can improve vastly or quickly become...really bad. Another thing in the DC argument is DC, as of yet, has not been very represented at the HSNCT...

gonzagaeagleahy

I was actually only going to include a top four powerhouse for next year but decided to just give five including RM figuring that you guys would be powerhouse-material next year, which I know you guys will end up doing.

gonzagaeagleahy

maybe not so much with literature. Not that I really know, but that seems likely to me. Reasonable assumption, I must say, because Ted did know a vast area of literature of all sorts; however, we will actually be very solid in literature next year, not too far behind Ted's capabilities this year, i...

That should have been accepted. I actually think they prefer to be called arctic bears.

Well Gonzaga may be able to attend, but most of Sunday would be ruled out. We'll have two seniors on the team next year and they/we should be able to make part of Sunday, assuming we would make the playoffs. Call for seniors at school would be at roughly 11 am, so we would be able to stay until mayb...

gonzagaeagleahy

My point is, one-man teams suck. Although Dan, Ian, and I are good individual players, neither Zaga, GDS nor we will be very successful unless we get a lot of help from teammates. Okay, everyone recognizes how solid Dan is and how good he will be next year, even though I believe his success next ye...

Does anyone know how many seniors were on the Blake team? Cause they've been pretty solid this year, as well.

Like most prognostications so far for the DC/Metro area, I believe that the main three front-runners in the area will be TJ, Whitman, and RM, but not necessarily in that order. I doubt that one of them will necessarily be the outright front-runner but that's hard to say because there's the whole sum...

I'm 94% sure that he won't be returning next year because he is definitely a senior and will most likely not repeat senior year for any reason.

My prognostication is that Whitman will be the team-to-beat in the DC-Metropolitan area, followed by TJ and RM. However, Gonzaga, WJ, and of course Maggie Walker, will all also be strong and the other 3 main teams better watch out. I also believe that Gonzaga's B-Team will be, not particularly stron...

True, i do see some regional bias, both from the Midwest and east coast, yet i think the poll pretty much evens it out and is fairly accurate in the final results.
