I know that I may be considered as being a little biased here, but after visiting Lower Merion's basketball site, aceshoops.com, which is a very well put together site, I cannot help but think that Lower Merion as a whole, or the Aces Nation, is a little too proud and cocky. On the website they make a huge deal about Kobe coming to town and them playing at the Wachovia Center and all their close wins against Haverford and Ridley. However, it was quite difficult to find any mention of their three losses unless I was looking at their Schedule/Results section. The only thing that comes close to mentioning their loss to 'Stoga was a link to an article on the main page entitled "Aces look to rebound on Friday night". That title is quite ambiguous as it is intended to reference their loss to 'Stoga. On the whole, I believe that the Aces Nation are a bunch of people that believe their team is the best in the state, and, although on paper they look great, that doesn't mean squat if you do not run the table in the Central League. I hope that at some point in the playoffs LM goes up against Chester, because I am sure that LM would receive a very, very humbling beating. In closing, I know I am probably a bit biased, but the Aces Nation needs to get over themselves (AND KOBE), until they are a completely dominant team, which they are not.
Can't wait until January 23rd...hopefully Robbins and his teamates don't do too much partying before then because we all know what the results were last time: a couple weeks worth of watching his soccer team from the stands.
