i urge everyone who still believe in the "LCC attitude" to take a gander at today's Lima News....

On the back page of the sports section there is a large advertisement celebrating the Tbirds
winning of the "Don Bachman" award for winning the All Sports Trophy for the 7th out of 8 years
that they were members of the NWC.........

now before anyone accuses me of being a little cold-hearted concering this........please read
the advertisement first and then come back on here to state your case.........zooom

Rocket,

Considering all of the trash talking on this forum and the LCC haters in the NW Conference, I thought the ad
was a great summary of the T-Birds superiority while in the league. As they say, "Ball Don't Lie". Every statement
in the ad was factual although some of those Columbus Grove fans on the RC will likely disagree with the facts.

I think you may have given the 'Birds a little too much credit, however in your post, this was only their 6th Don Bachman Award in 8 years and not their 7th. The LCC success was not just in athletics as an ad in last week's Lima News highlighted three members of this year's senior class who were accepted into Princeton, Yale, and the Wharton School of Business at Penn. Not too shabby. These three students were also athletes. It's not bragging when you can back it up.

The last sentence in the add says it all. . . ."The Thunderbird Legacy Will Be Hard To Beat ! " LCC is leaving the NWC in style just as their ad states. Congrats to the T-Birds for their accomplishments while in the NWC.

Mmmmmmm Rocketman are you tipping back just alittle to many tonight?? Theres two errors in your reporting there tonight!! The number of times LCC won has been, as JB says, 6 and the ad is on the back of section A...Not the sports sections.

Also just wondering, where does each school in the NWC stand in the Don Bachman Award?

[BOB]

good luck in your new conference!!!

LCC and The Lima News is like reading an article on OSU in The Lantern.

[Mr Bearcat]

I thought the Ad was ridiculous! I guess they didn't want to bow out with any grace, or humility. Also for the record, your Basketball title this year was a shared title.

For the record,the basketball team did share the title this year, and also for the record, their overall first place is
a hellava lot better than your 5th place.! The ad was far from ridiculous and hit its targeted audience obviously. If you want
to talk about grace and humility just review some of the LCC haters posts on this forum in the last year. The 'Birds being "asked"to leave the NWC was a great example of grace and humility, lol.

Who really cares about the All-sports trophy? Also, let me remind you it was a mutual agreement. And it took two votes for LCC to gain enterance into the league, therefore it was a rocky relationship to begin with.

jb.....you really need to get over getting leaving the NWC. We didn't want you nor did you want to stay. If you (LCC) wanted to stay they (LCC) would have changed the way they do business with vouchers, etc.

When LCC has an alum (Matt Huffman) and others promoting (legislating) the vouchers it's hard for LCC to say no to state money.

Amen! Unfortuantly it was much easier for Huffman to promote vouchers, then to work on fixing the actual problem! He was elected to fix actual problem, and Not and out Public money to Private Schools. Therefore, LCC can blame an Alum for their problems.

What are LCC's problems you're talking about? Not being in an athletic conference?

[Mr Bearcat]

I was refering to the Public Education System, which Huffman was elected to support, and make as good as possible.

[paynepanthers]

Looks like the LCC, Columbus Grove, Crestview and Bluffton communities should all be very proud of their pretty consistent athletic and academic success. LCC will have continued success on the field and in the classroom wether they are in or out of a conference. It will be debated forever wether or not LCC was a good fit for the NWC. I would hope that now that they are no longer a part of the NWC that some of the vitriol from NWC members, toward LCC, will subside a bit.

Ah, okay. "When you said LCC can blame an alum for their problems" I assumed you meant LCC's problems since that's what you wrote. That public school system really could use more support!.. Kidding of course!

Agreed. I don't believe LCC was/is a good fit in the NWC, and I think most LCC fans would agree. That said, no one likes when their girlfriend breaks up with them, even if she is constantly nagging you, arguing, upset/obsessed with everything you do, and isn't very pretty

Well actually the vouchers are a big part of the reason LCC is looking for a Conference now.

[robin]

Congratulations to the LCC T-Birds for finishing as the Division III runner-up in the state track and field competition. You guys made the NWC proud by your performance at the state meet.

Some of the NWC schools were a little to worried about the color of a player's skin rather than anything else. You wouldn't believe some of the things said on the field/court and in the stands. Or maybe you would or were some of the people saying those things.

by the way. I'm not from LCC. I've been fortunate enough to watch some of their teams over the past few years. What great kids, coaches and community.
