Woot! Woot!

Indeed. Can't find it online but the Washington Post has a really nice LEAD AP 7-paragraph article on our team:

"Women's Roundup: Inspirational run comes to end for E. Michigan."

Tony just tweeted it a great write this could only help get a ncaa bid.

For all they've over come this year they deserve the bid!

I assume bids to the women's NCAAs and WNIT will be announced tonight.

I'm assuming WNIT.

But hopefully ncaa!

I see sadly and to the wncaa loss that our ladies didn't make it. But i see ohio got a 13 seed which is good they take on duke. sorry this was only a prediction, .

The ladies have accepted a bid in the WNIT. Very cool! Not something that anyone would've expected a couple months ago.

SIX MAC teams were invited to the WNIT. Wow!

Only onemen's from the mac in the nit, cmu.

Ohio got a 12th seed pretty good with that seed the mac should have 2 in wncaa-basketball

Women will play at Drake on Friday.

Well, keep in mind the WNIT is a 64-team field.

Oddly enough Suzy Merchant and the MSU women's team declined to play in the WNIT.

Sad, that two young women lost their lives and another innocent victim was injured. This isn't a story that is unique to EMU, or Student Athletes, as any of us who attended college can surely understand the epidemic of drunk driving among college students is and always has been a game of Russian Roulette. People posting at the bottom of the Mlive article are making some pretty nasty comments about these young ladies, and while they did make a poor decision; they paid the ultimate price. I can only hope that students at EMU, and our student athletes learn from this tragedy. I have a unique perspective on this issue and have responded to this type of scene too many times in my career. Anyway, I thought the article was well written and covered a lot of different perspectives and topics.

Just read the story very sad to learn about the drunk driving. I too have driven while drunk and can atest to how difficult it is even though i no longer drink much i only Have one beer then wait an half hour then drive. My younger brother was killed by a drunk driver. As far as them dating so what?

This is why in January, I cautioned people to wait for the toxicology report before we got too crazy with tributes and t-shirts, etc. This was an avoidable tragedy where she killed herself, another, and put several other lives in danger while she was foolishly behind the wheel that night.

Some of my thoughts on this:

Very, very sad story especially with all these new facts now out.

Still doesn't change the fact that this is a tragedy and these kids DO deserve a tribute even though they made a horrific mistake.

77 mph and totally shitfaced.... jeez our youngins need to make better decisions

Bob,

We treated it as trageic deaths which they were. No one was under any illusions. There wasn't freezing rain, etc.

That said I've mourned the suicide of a cousin, suicide of a Priest, murder of the Priest who married me, etc.

They are more painful then the death of an uncle in his 90s.

Suicides, murders, motor vehicle deaths are all very painful because they are not natural.

I don't know that folks do flowers for saints but not sinners. I think most people pray more for sinners, then 'saints.'

We pray for people because they are human and leaving the judging and mercy to the Almighty.

We pray for people because they are human and leaving the judging and mercy to the Almighty.

Amen Steve and why we'll on earth we remember this promise Blessed are the merciful for they shall receive mercy.

Indeed, people need to get things right:

We mourn, grieve, and pray for the deceased.

The Almighty judges and offers divine mercy.

I believe Shannise had a funeral Mass in IL. It gave the church an opportunity pray for her.
