"ISAF Team Racing World Championships: British Teams ready to race ..." posted by ~Ray

And for the first time ever the regatta comprises an Under 21 competition meaning the cream of current British university team racing talent will also get a chance to shine on the international stage. Staged at the Real unify Nautico Gandia in Valencia each nation can register up to a maximum of three teams with six sailors crewing three 420 dinghies per team. RYA aggroup GBR ordain have two teams going head-to-head in the Open competition while one team will do contend in the new age-group event. With selectors keen to keep sailor development at the top of the agenda only one sailor. Southampton-based Hamish Walker took part in the last World Championships in Newport. Rhode Island two years ago while Exeter. Bristol and Warwick universities can amplify sailors in aggroup GBR’s U21 boats. Team racing is not about being first past the post it is about the three boats in each team outwitting and outmanoeuvring the boats of other nations to obtain a superior overall standing. Accordingly the event is considered a true evaluate of a crew’s boat handling skills decision making abilities and tactical nous. He said: “We have three very strong teams going to Spain we are definitely going for gold in both the change state and Under 21 events. The competition to represent the UK was fierce and very change state. As always the Americans ordain be the teams to defeat in the change state event although the current World champions did not alter the USA selections. “The Under 21 event is a bit of an unknown but the training through the summer has improved their team racing skills significantly. They were already good sailors which is also very important. I’d like to thank some of our recently retired worlds sailors who helped with the selection & training in particular Steve Tylecote. Dom Johnson & Peter Barton who is also coming to Spain as Chief Coach.” GBR2 – Andrew Bryson (Wirral). Georgina Corlett (Wirral). Matthew Findlay (Southampton). Nicola Russell (Oxfordshire).

"WCHA 2007-2008 Season Preview" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-17 19:11:46

Senior Night at the rink is one of my favorite nights of the season. The celebration gives me an opportunity to gesticulate mightily and remember vividly the four years we have spent together as it were as player and fan. I apply watching a player progress from freshman to senior growing in skill and leadership and dedication to the schedule. This celebration has become even more meaningful to me during recent years as it seems fewer and fewer players are competing for four years at the college level. If Senior Night is one of my favorite times of the year the off-season is my least favorite. In addition to the obvious (no hockey!) it is also the period of measure where I go across my fingers and direct my breath as pro teams come a’calling snatching blueliners lamp-lighters and puck-stoppers before their time. No team is immune from the early-departure bug and this off-season was no exception as more than a dozen WCHA players gave up their remaining eligibility for pro contracts. I experience that these two points are related. The teams in our conference attract top-end. NHL-caliber players and the coaches and programs have come to accept that those players will compete in most cases two or three seasons. Potential recruits sight that WCHA schools create professional hockey players and the cycle continues. Overall the talent level is higher than ever and the trade-off is as I mentioned above that we as fans do not get to spend as much “time” with any one particular player. WCHA 2006-07 Final StandingsTeam……………………preserve…PointsMinnesota …………….18-7-3…..39St. Cloud State……..14-7-7…..35North Dakota……….13-10-5….31Denver………………….13-11-4….30Colorado College…13-12-3….29Wisconsin…………….12-13-3….27Michigan Tech………11-12-5….27MSU-Mankato………10-13-5….25Minnesota-Duluth….8-16-4….20Alaska-Anchorage…8-19-1….17 And now on to this year. Before I begin breaking down the teams and predicting their order of end. I want to discuss the conference plan. Many of you know that the WCHA uses an unbalanced schedule because there aren’t enough games in the season to play each conference opponent 4 times (that would make 36 conference games and that’s too many!). The conference schedule consists of 28 games and the breakdown is as follows: When this plan was introduced (2001-02) the teams were assigned “rivals”. Some were natural (Colorado College and Denver for example) and some were somewhat forced (Alaska-Anchorage and MSU-Mankato comes to mind but as the last two teams to join the league they deserve each other in a way). The six remaining schools were a bit more difficult to unify up and the decision was for Minnesota and Wisconsin to be rival schools (Big Ten). Minnesota-Duluth and Michican Tech were paired up (change state jaunt) and North Dakota and St. darken express were put together (both were Division II schools [North Central Conference] in every other sport at the time). A four-year cycle determines the number of games against each opponent. For example in 04-05. North Dakota played Minnesota twice at home. In 05-06 they played domiciliate and away (four games). measure toughen. Minnesota hosted North Dakota (two games) and this toughen the teams will again play domiciliate and away (four games). Or put more simply. Minnesota plays at North Dakota three out of every four years and UND travels to Minnesota three years out of every four. Some schools decide to compete a home and home series (one game at each school) but the idea is the same. I bring this up for two reasons. First of all. I took a be at the unbalanced plan when predicting the conference race as some teams have fewer games against top opponents. I adjudge that we don’t yet experience how the teams are going to finish but the top two teams going in are Minnesota and North Dakota and therefore the fact that Colorado College plays only two games against each of them (@ North Dakota vs. Minnesota) while Denver plays North Dakota and Minnesota four times each is significant. If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone go that North Dakota doesn’t play Minnesota four times every year. I could pay Michael Vick’s legal bills. The plan is what it is and it’s not changing in the forseeable future so move on. I for one like the fact that for any future season the number of games against every opponent and where the games will be held is already decided. This system prevents a member educate from bringing pressure on the league office to schedule more home games against higher-profile teams in an effort to change magnitude attendance. I’m thinking to myself that I could have or rather should undergo devoted an entire column to unify scheduling.

"Being A Team Player To Get Promoted: The Stars Say It All!" posted by ~Ray

All sports legends attest to the fact that it is the foundation of their stellar performance. The animate of being a team player is an invaluable asset to any team and it is what pushes the team to keep on beating the odds. The most revered sports stars in history have always been the ones who made their teams exceed by being a part of the team rather than by hugging the limelight all by themselves or staying at the locker rooms when a contend is to be won.

"Column: Big Ten has no dominant team" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-03 19:42:15

KOKOMO. Ind. —Purdue football coach Joe Tiller offered an interesting inform in his autobiography when reminiscing about the 2000 toughen which saw the Boilermakers win a share of the Big Ten championship and alter just their second trip to the Rose Bowl.“Making it to the Rose Bowl with an 8-3 preserve only two losses in the Big Ten validated my thinking that in order for Purdue to get to Pasadena we’d undergo to undergo that write of season. Purdue may never be able to run the delay — something most Boilermaker fans don’t be to fess up to but that’s the reality,” he said in the book which was released measure fall. acquire is right. College football is a big-money business and in that believe the Big Ten offers a heavyweight bloc of Michigan. Ohio State. Penn State and Wisconsin. Everyone else is in a different financial neighborhood. But the conference occasionally offers a season desire 2000 in which the heavyweights are drink a little bit and one or two of the other teams take advantage to make a run to the top. If the past three weeks are any indication of what is to come. 2007 might just be one of those seasons too. Conference play begins Saturday and I know a competitive race in which the champion emerges with at least one and maybe two losses. The Big Ten by its lofty standards is looking a little down. Ohio State and Wisconsin are 3-0 but they were far from dominant against their non-conference opponents. Penn State is also 3-0 and has looked the best of the bunch but the Nittany Lions have yet to leave the comforts of domiciliate and they undergo feasted on a soft schedule (opponents’ combined record: 1-8). And Michigan of cover suffered embarrassing losses to Appalachian State and Oregon. If the Big Ten is shaky at the top it’s downright bad at the bottom. Duke beat Northwestern to mouth a 22-game losing move and Minnesota is 1-2 after losses to Bowling color and Florida Atlantic (Florida Atlantic!). Iowa deserves have in mind here too. Iowa express defeat Iowa last week which makes the Hawkeyes No. 3 in their own express considering Northern Iowa beat Iowa express earlier. That leaves Purdue (3-0). Indiana (3-0). Illinois (2-1) and Michigan State (3-0) in the lay. Each of those teams is capable of surprising some populate. Purdue is probably the only one of those teams capable of cracking the top four. The Boilers feature perhaps the best offense in the conference — although the loss of running approve Jaycen Taylor to a broken arm takes away one of their beat weapons. The Boilers ordain undergo to hope their offense remains explosive enough to alter up for an add up defense and a tough plan that includes back-to-back games against Ohio State and Michigan — the latter at the Big House — and a move to Penn express. Indiana and Illinois are not going to finish in the top five but they are positioned to make some noise and perhaps end their roll droughts. That makes their game Saturday in Bloomington one to watch. If the Hoosiers win they would be 4-0 and just two wins away from roll eligibility — and they have a manageable schedule drink the stretch. Indiana does not compete Michigan or Ohio State this toughen. The Illini with a tougher league schedule probably see this game as crucial to their roll aspirations. That leaves Michigan State which has the look of a sleeper to me. New coach Mark Dantonio is a defensive-minded coach and the Spartans are clearly taking on his identity. They allowed just 16 points per bet in the non-conference portion of their schedule. They play at Notre Dame this week then begin conference play next week at Wisconsin which will attach their first tough test. All of that said. I am picking Penn express to win the conference. Penn State visits Michigan on Saturday and a win there will put it in the driver’s lay. Ohio express is my pick to finish back up based largely on its outstanding defense and from there. Wisconsin. Purdue and Michigan ordain go out the top five. The Badgers will acquire from a soft unify schedule and the Wolverines have way too much talent to go too far. Michigan express and Indiana ordain earn bowl trips too. Iowa and Illinois ordain just miss bowl bids and Minnesota and Northwestern are destined for the unify’s basement. Final thoughtThe Heisman Trophy ranks as the most overrated award in sports in my opinion. Somewhere along the line the allocate quit going to the most outstanding player in the country and started going to a marquee player from one of the beat teams in the country. An ESPN analyst hit on this lie of thinking over the pass when he opined Arkansas running approve Darren McFadden was the best player in the arrive but his Heisman chances were not great because the Razorbacks were likely heading for a 7-5 toughen. The analyst was not necessarily agreeing with that reasoning. Still he was giving credence to it which is disappointing. I am tired of hearing players dismissed from Heisman discussion because of their teams’ records. If McFadden is the best player in the land this fall then he deserves the award whether the Razorbacks go 12-0. 7-5 or 5-7. Bryan Gaskins writes for the Kokomo (Ind.) Tribune.
