Matt is correct. Take it from someone who is disillusioned with the "CBI-only" attitude adopted by my university, Wayne State. It sucks. I wished they'd just listen to me or give me control. I'd gladly give up playing to elevate the program, but no one here seems to care. It is in lew of t...

One word....

Dedication

emactruman

It might work. I like the extra teams concept better than the best of 3 series purely due to time constraints.

emactruman

Truman is a no go, I found out offically they cannot attend, lot of players on vacation.

emactruman

Has Truman Registered yet?

emactruman

travel = more exposure and more top notch competition

This then leads to better motivation. Motavition begets winning generally speaking (not to discredit raw talent).

emactruman

If you look closely at the results posted Shrine is listed seperate from the undetermined Royal Oak team or else I might have natrually assumed such.

emactruman

Andy from Farmington is pretty decent, but it seems nobody except maybe Sarah has anything on Joel Knight.

emactruman

Was the Royal Oak team from Kimball? or Dondero? or Combined?

emactruman

In previuos rankings, most people put DCC ahead of DCD. This is obviously being more heavily influenced by late season results than ones from earlier in the year, when DCC struggled to prove itself anything higher than a top four team in the state.

emactruman

I Michigan look out for DCC. They still have Joel Knight. I believe Churchill has most of last season's team back, but are probably only a threat in the state, not to win a national title.

emactruman

When I started this thread I was hoping to get a list of qualified teams.

emactruman

To say DCC out-played everyone else that day is an over statement, since they did lose two morning round games. A better way to put is that when push came to shove DCC played their A game when perhaps other teams did not.

emactruman

Thanks for the insight. I guess when I wrote up the poll, for some reason I did not submit the last option which was going to be No, back to the drawing board fool. Anyways. I did not want to power seed teams because it could be off at the begining of the season and some people complain power-seedin...

emactruman

My third option did not get sent. It was going to be no.

emactruman

I had an idea for 16 or more team tournament. What if the teams were broken up into randomized pools of four. After the third round the teams are then paired into new groups of four with the top 2 teams from each division placed into groups against each other, while the bottom half of each division ...

Who's gonna win

emactruman

Look, perhaps you are right. people just don't care. Perhaps I was a fool to think that we could even come close to the "top-tier" teams. I just had the remote hope that we could someday dethrone UofM. Also, as far as my "13ppg" that is only due to my restricted playing style, wh...

emactruman

Nice point Shawn about the whole have a car your in thing. Not quite true but funny. Also, I'm not saying Wayne St. does or should get brownie points. As a matter of fact, I think most people who have read this thread do not understand what I meant. I meant that the ACUI/CBI does not care about the ...

emactruman

If anyone is interested the Conference Regular Season is over. Taylor Truman and Dearborn Hts. Annapolis were the divisional winners and have qualified for the MSU state championship tournament. Also, I wish to keep an updated state championship watch list again. If any coaches, TD's, or players kno...

emactruman

First of all, tfmichael must be a CBI junky because it is insane to be able to cite that material. Next, I was being somewhat sarcastic. Also, CBI does not care about the teams, just the money. Hence, since Wayne State is nothing but a slow, brown nosing, bureaucracy when it comes to anything ACUI r...

emactruman

Wayne State does things quite a bit different. The staff are actual staff taken from the Dean of Students office. And they chose to take only the top five points scorers in the IM tournament. So, I guess the are the ACUI's perfect model of the way things should be done. I feel that this is extremely...

emactruman

We found a loop hole.

emactruman

We might try to host an National tournament early next fall. What non-Michigan teams might be interested? I want to see so more teams from out of state. Ideally teams like Dorman, Copley, Rufus King, State College, St. John's .... ect.

emactruman

Thanx.

emactruman

At Wayne State, anything that requires motivation does not happen. Secondly, I showed them those figures. I also showed them how hosting a high school tournament could increase revenue. The snubbed all these ideas.

emactruman

Who's going with what teams?

emactruman

That was their reasoning for not doing any NAQT or ACF

emactruman

To answer the questions posed: 1) I'm at Wayne State, CBI is the only thing they'll support because it's cheap and college bowl is not a student org. 2) Gretchen Symmons is the IM tournament coordinator who enforced the vicious rule. Funnier still, We (The one remaining teamate and I) scrimaged the ...

I was playing in Wayne State's IM tournament last week and got shafted by the damn 3 person min. rule. We won are first two then lost the next game. We were supposed to play another team to see who goes to the finals, however, one of my players had an exam and left.

It could be worse noah.... At one point in time I had the top 180 ranked in Michigan

emactruman

How about also having experts from each state give their rankings as deep as they can go. I can help with MI.

emactruman

First of all, you have one valid point about me. Yes, I did play for a pathetic team in high school. Which is part of the reason I am so interested in ranking the teams. We played in a league my senior year and won the championship. Thus, we (this meaning some of my teamates, not myself due to the f...
