       Redwyn,
       - The AE scheduling requirements are NOT NEARLY AS RESTRICTIVE
       as you say they are. It's more like a few guild-lines instead of
       what many of the other better conferences have. I'll try to dig
       up the information I posted several years ago when they were
       first enacted but they are fairly lax. For crying out loud, we
       have MULTIPLE AE teams playing DII teams IN season. That's a
       freaking joke...start there if you want to stop embarrassing the
       AE. As you've indicated, starting next season scheduling
       requirements have been lifted. Sadly we'll probably see more Mt.
       Ida's rather than less.

       Click, if you look at how rpi is calculated, it's ridiculous to
       for us to place limits on the on the rpi of our opponents. Our
       conference mates winning percentage gets equated repeatedly in
       rpi because you play everything team twice and then every team
       plays every other team twice. If we want to raise conference
       rpi, we need to schedule teams you can beat and beat them, not
       lose to better opponents.

       Ugh!  I was really pulling for you guys vs. BC.  One of many
       devistating losses as a Hoosier fan came in 1994 Sweet 16 vs.
       BC.  BC upset #1 UNC in the 2nd round, and I thought my Hoosiers
       may be headed back to the Final Four.  IU was up 5 late in the
       game and someone (Damon Bailey maybe?) made a great drive to the
       bucket for a lay up.  It looked like a clear blocking foul.
       CHARGE!  It was looking like a 7/8 point lead with time winding
       down and an Elite 8 matchup that was winnable for IU.  BC hits 2
       3's back to back to take a 1 point lead, and the rest is
       history. But I digress...
       Don't give up on your team.  If Pomeroy says you guys can win
       your conference, there is hope!
       You guys battled a very solid Northwestern team (I meant to get
       back here after that game, but this time of year is pretty darn
       busy in the financial services industry, life happens, blah
       blah, etc).
       Rutgers and Cornell are very winnable games.  They would also be
       very nice wins.
       Good luck to the Seawolves!
