VALPO LI

I'm hearing Valpo will open the season November 7th @ Toledo.  This would be a return game of a Home/Home from last season where the Rockets (26-8) (17-3 MAC) came home with a 69-61 win at the ARC. 
If this game holds this would be a good early challenge to see what the Beacons are all about for the 2022/2023 season.

Was this the "Big Team down south" that was rumored? If so nice get. If we're as good as we hope we are we might even be able to win that one!

Was Prairie View kicked down the road for a year or two or is it now off the table?

I refuse to get excited about Ole Miss until I'm shown some reason to think we can compete.  :snore:  BUT!!!!! Some early season wins might get me there. :thumbsup:

Have we played them since 'The Shot?'  I am sure that their alumni will hate to see our name on the schedule

I think we should have a contest on guessing how many times they either show or mention "The Shot" during that game broadcast. My guess is 10+

Interesting question about Prairie View A&M.  I thought I heard they were a buy game for Valpo last season.  The Panthers are scheduled to play @ Northwestern December 11th.  Valpo is slated to be in Mississippi on the 10th.  Maybe a trip to Northwest Indiana for PVA&M before or after the Wildcat game.

Let's all pray we can see the Panthers live!! :)

Stonehill College is not only moving to Division 1 this season, but Valpo's own Jason Karys has recently been promoted to a full-time Assistant Coach position.  Karys also just coached Valpo's first TBT team that competed in Omaha last week.

Some Friday evening scheduling news:
Elon University will play @ Valpo December 18th as per Rocco Miller.  The Phoenix finished 7th out of 10 in the Colonial Athletic Association last season.

This potentially gives Beacon fans 3 home games this upcoming season.  Stonehill, Elon and possibly Western Michigan.

Home schedule is pretty meh so far but that's probably good for where we are as a program. Hopefully we can win most of these games and raise our expectations (and our scheduling) next year.

are going to surprise a lot of people.

Appreciate your enthusiasm. But you probably haven't been around long enough to become jaded and have low expectations like most of us.

this will be the make or break year for Lottich, and I am sure he is aware of the this. Valpo needs to be successful this year, no lower than 4th in the Valley.

Oh come on 89!  Three wins in a row and you'll be grabbing your yellow pad and trying to interview somebody!

Honestly, not really excited about the schedule. If was defeat Elon, will Musk award us with a team Tesla?

Need higher level teams on the schedule.

Does anybody know if Jerome Palm has arrived yet?  I really think he could be a "big" (literally) game changer for us.  He can block--probably not at the Vashil level, but Vashil had range to four feet while Jerome can step out to the 3.

The 11-19 Trinity Christian Trolls return back to the ARC December 6th, 2022 for a 7pm tip off.
First Non-D1 on the Beacon's schedule.
Interesting enough the Trolls are also playing @ two other Valley Schools, UIC Nov.7th and Indiana State Nov 27th.

Uh, umm, I think "Beacons" beat "Trolls" in the team nickname playoffs. Just sayin'.

Too soon? I'll be quiet now.

Troll Nation?

Just how big is Trinity Christian's influence over this country?

Will there ever be a "Beacon Nation?"   ::)
