Sick to my stomach right now. I just smashed my TV in front of 30 guests at my watch party because of the game. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at a hotel. The Kingspersons have ruined my life and my party. I can’t handle this anymore. Goodbye Banana Slugs. I am going to the Springfield Pride where they know how to run a program. Horrible horrible day for the great program of UCSC. There are two routes they can take to get back to the pristine blue blood program they are known as. 1. Hire Ramius Pruiss to revive the program. This may be the only answer, and the pairing of Ramius and Kyle Ownbey is a match made in heaven. Kyle will be on thr frogjump team of the week EVERY WEEK. 2. Hit the transfer portal and get no other than the SFU GOD. Ryan Parker. I hear he is very interested in taking his talents out west, as he despises Cal Lu. Only time will tell, but I truly believe if UCSC carries out on this master plan, they will win 4 National championships in a row, beating Cal Lu in the finals every year. Something (or should I say someone) tells me Ramius is very interested in becoming a Banana Slug. According to sources, he has reached out multiple times begging for an assistant coaching job. Perhaps it's time to give the man what he wants. Someone take Ryan Parker to Cafe Brasil on Mission Street. He will transfer before his plate is empty.

Wells College is closing at the end of the semester. They were decent in MVB when Vassar's Richard Gary was at the helm. The Express were 7-22 (1-8 AMCC) in what turned out to be their final season.

Gallaudet adding men's volleyball for next year. They played one season in 2013 previously before mothballing the program. GU is a school for the deaf and hard of hearing, btw.

Is anyone tracking how many schools are beginning in 2025 vs how many schools are leaving in 2025?

Not even sure how else you would do it with 19

Most likely format is a "4/5" play in at 3 of our regional sites.

From a "pure bracketing" standpoint, I think the 4 overall seed would have the 4 team pod. Bigger advantage for 1-3 seeds to be playing a team that played night before. Isn't it?
