| BREAKING: BARD TO JOIN LIBERTY LEAGUE in 2011-12: Vassar No Longer Able to Duck Vengeful Raptors June 16, 2009 |
Bard's meteoric rise through the ranks of Division III college sports continued Tuesday with the announcement that the Raptors will become full members of the prestigious Liberty League in 2011-12. The news was greeted by a mixture of joyous cheering from Skyline Conference members, all of whom are now free from the yoke of Bard dominance. The news was not so well-received by members of the Liberty League, whose dreams of winning automatic bids to the NCAA Tournament will now die in gruesome fashion every year at Stevenson Gymnasium. Fear ran particularly deep at Vassar College, long the Washington Generals to Bard's Harlem Globetrotters. An attempt to get comments from the student body at Vassar found the campus nearly empty. A general evacuation had taken place ahead of the devastation that two Bard-Vassar games per season will evoke, even with the move more than two years away. Raptormania! will be profiling Bard's future vanquished opponents in the coming months, with Statesmen, Dutchmen and Golden Knights ahead. |
