Division B Poll

[BigheadTodd]

Who will win the RMLC B crown?

UVSC had a little bit of a meltdown in the national tournement last season, but they did make it to the tourney. They always seem to pick up some bluechippers, and make some noise. They are the defending champs, and as Ric Flair says "To be the man, You've got to beat the man" He also says "WHOOOHH!!!"
UNC and MSU both only lost 2 games in conference, and are perennial powerhouses, but will one of them improve enough to knock off the other and UVSC?
Fort Lewis, Mines and Western are all possibly in the hunt. It will take alot, but there is very little a team can't accomplish if they have the desire to do something and persevere as a team. I have a soft spot in my heart for Western, having coached them to a non-shutout against BYU many years ago.
Regis, Wyoming, and CSU-Pueblo(they'll always be Southern Colorado to me) have a ways to go, but I will never count anyone out.
UNM and NAU have blank slates, a fresh start so to say.
The real wildcard has to be Westminster. coach goodhand knows all the returning teams, having coached against them at Utah. He has school support and facilities only rivaled by BYU in the RMLC. I believe Tom dubbed them "Lindenwood in the Mountains" or something like that. He had a very good recruiting class. He has specific goals, and he is someone who gets things done.

I voted for UNC to win it all but I forgot about Northern Arizona. If NAU looks the same as they did last year they could give a run not only in Division B but in Division A. I like the UNC program but everyone better lookout for NAU.

Guys, UNM has a small program. Like I have told my players this year is about development and accepting humble beginnings. As my good friend Sonny from the SELC has said many times "It takes baby steps" We will surprise a few people but this is a development year. As we develop a local high School program in Albuquerque you will see UNM making some Thunder in the RMLC in the future. But this year is a building season for us. I am not blessed this year with the type of talent I had at Liberty University with guys from New England, Long Island or a Cory Noseworthy from my hometown of Baltimore.

Also I am a little disappointed that we can't schedule any games in February when the weather in the desert southwest in New Mexico is sunny and 50-60 degrees instead of the snow in Utah and Colorado. I was a bit disappointed at the schedule our delegation brought back from Boulder but we will make it work. Our schedule in March and April is jammed packed traveling to Colorado and other locations. But very little in February at home when we got the best weather over the schools in Utah and Colorado and I forgot snowy Wyoming!

We look forward in competing in the RMLC and we are excited about what membership in the RMLC will bring to our program. This will enhance the development of our sport in the state of New Mexico.

My money is on NAU to win it all!

Hey, does anyone know NAU's schedule and results from last year's season?

Not that it matters, and i don't play on the team anymore and have no idea who has who this year, but i don't understand how UVSC doesn't have one vote, even though no one has been able to beat them in like 3 years from RMLC D-II. Westminister will be interesting, and NAU is obviously getting closer every year, but how do you bet against someone who has been beating everyone every year? I know every year is different, and eventually, UVSC will lose to another RMLC D-II team, but until it happens, i can't vote against them. They are my favorites until someone proves they shouldn't be.

after the meeting in boulder, i think that a few things are clear; our div b is loaded. this could be the year that we send three to nationals. It is going to be alot of fun. cant wait. Welcome to NAU UNM and westminister.
