| List of '11-'12 Victims Released Vassar Faces Double Devastation June 30, 2011 |
| The tectonic shift of basketball power Bard College from the Skyline Conference to the Liberty League is apparent in the Raptors' 2011-12 schedule. While the Skyline teams, free of the ominous reality that basketball season means second place at best, celebrate their newfound freedom, it is the ironically-named Liberty League that will suffer under the yoke of Raptor thrashings for seasons to come. The season opens with nine out-of-conference matchups. Bard begins by defeating John Jay, a tough opponent out of the CUNYAC featuring conference rookie of the year Jamar Harry. The victory by Bard is expected to mirror the three days with palsy John Jay suffered through before dying in 1829. The Raptors will also defeat Albany Pharmacy, the team that gave up 45 points to a young Raptor years ago named... Adam Turner. Other non-conference casualties include Yeshiva on November 22, Mount St. Mary's on November 29 (both on the road), as well as Rutgers-Camden on December 7. The brutality unleashed by Bard that night is expected to leave Camden looking... pretty much as it does now. Conference play begins on January 10, 2012 with the ritual slaughter of Vassar College, this time in Poughkeepsie. On February 14, the St. Valentine's Day Massacre of Vassar takes place at Stevenson Gymnasium. Other Liberty League victims include Skidmore, Union, Hobart, St. Lawrence, and RPI, whose team will be able to compute to the forty-third decimal place both how big Bard's can of whoop-ass is, and the precise moment Bard opened it. |
