Saw your post earlier SaintsFan about TMC/Hanover and had to look my password back up! 

Hopefully TMC/Hanover will continue at some point.  Probably was a good idea to suspend things in 1993 because things were extremely heated at that point.  I personally loved playing Hanover and looked forward to it because they were good but that particular Hanover team couldn't take it.  I can appreciate hating to lose and it's OK to mouth off all game if you are competing hard, but if you spit on a player there's going be a fight.

Defiance was an even better rivalry in the early 90's and it's too bad the HCAC didn't bring in TMC when the AMC disbanded (I think it was Bluffton-Wilmington-Defiance-TMC at that point).   You'd have the Bridge Bowl, plus the other great match-ups every year.   It's beating a dead horse by now but someday maybe everyone will agree.  Sure would be nice to have Franlkin play TMC this year.  Whitewater is great for Franklin but may be unnecessary if TMC is on the schedule every year.  Never understood why Wilmington wasn't in the mix as well.  They make more sense than Rose-Hulman don't they?  What about Tranzy?

If TMC ever falls off the map in sports maybe they can replace Earlham and as a doormat.  Probably the only way it could happen.  Since TMC won 9 conference titles last year in the PAC it's extremely unlikely that anything would happen now.

That's my once in a blue moon post.

Hope all is well.

JP is a tease! He comes on, just to give you a taste, then he disappears. I know of a school who needs a new offensive coordinator....if you're interested

Just stopped by to say hello.  I've had to read more this year since I'm not coaching but I likely will not be posting.  Too bad I have to get on the HCAC board for TMC info but it is what it is.  Also hard to hear about my Cavaliers struggling so much.  I'm going to start a movement to have the school moved to Mason so we can pull the Moeller lovers back to the good side and I can coach.  Going to a Moeller event can serve as a mini Purcell reunion sometimes.  Anyway, my U8 soccer team is undefeated and 1-0 in the state playoffs, the wife just won the D1 state volleyball championship on Saturday with Ursuline, TMC is primed to make a run, UC is unreal, and the Bengals beat Pittsburg twice.  What the hell.  Life is good.  Still have to get Purcell figured out.  Get that done Sayer.  I'm in Mason and can't get out this year.

I had to chime in since I see that Shriver is posting.  

My favorite teams to beat while at TMC were:
1 - Hanover (we can all agree on that)
2 - DC (because they were the gold standard before TMC showed up and we had good battles)
3 - Wilmington (don't know why)

MSJ was never a big deal and I don't know why.  I always had decent stats in that game

Times have changed and it's a great game now.  I'll be in Dayton watching my wife's volleyball team attempt to win a state title and I hope to get back and hear some good news.  

TMC 30  MSJ 19

ALWAYS run a set route on the goal line and DB's will always have inside leverage.  Slant, Fade, Stop, and Whip (if you're good at it).  Slant is best but only works because you can actually complete a Fade.  WR should be 7 yards from the sideline every split so he doesn't give anything away.  No Speed Outs, Hitches, or Curls.

From the slot run Corner/Slant, Whip/Fade, and Burst/Slant combos.  Burst is my inside slant that is really a clear out for the outside Slant but hits occassionally and should be peeked at by the QB if the matchup looks good.  No Bubble.

..........................or run the G.

Run it between the 20's and throw it in when they man up.

You just exposed my entire philosophy Sayer.

I though only Mike Dane and Bill Venard knew it.

Just popped on to say hello.  All's well at TMC.  Spring practices are done, good news on the stadium came in, lots of hard work being done, recruiting is going well, and the alumni are getting the fever.  The staff gets along very well and we have a core of good players who have bought in.  I'll be curious to see these PAC schools up close to see what needs to be done to compete for the bid.  Since we open with Hanover you'll be able to get a sense of where we are come September.  It's a new offense and new defense so I can't predict anything (not that I would anyway).  It's so hard to tell without pads anyway.  I really like Trevor Stellman our QB.  He's very smart, focused, and can make all the throws.  Health will be a huge factor until we get some recruits in the system.

SaintsFan: The meeting was very good.  It focused mainly on one neighbor with about 75 objections which ate up 90% of the discussion but it was great to see the drawings on display and the committment from the school.  This has been in the works for quite a while but the stars are aligning.  Sister Stallmeyer has been great.  She seems to see the entire picture without a bias for or against sports.  TMC is lucky to have her in place at this time.  They are handling this the right way.  I simply would have sent in a video of Hilvert and his cut off finger to Extreme Home Makeover and tried to work a sympathy plea to Ty and the design team for our crappy unplayable field. 

The site will be much improved when I get a few hours to spend on it.  I wanted to get something in place for everyone to see and maybe spark some ideas.

SaintsFan:

You live in Mt. Lookout?  That's were I grew up, right on Ellison Ave (street off Linwood by MLT's. 

You're really moving up!

Did you see the new TMC alumni website?   It's a fledgling site but I'm just getting started.  I'm not a webmaster but I can create what our alumni association needs I think.   Wait till the videos appear.  We might even see some of your best work on there.  Got any good video to share?  I'm going to put each year's highlight film on the site at least............if I can find them.

It's not my fault you were confused .  Maybe the geniuses in the backfield dragged you down.  Hard to run anything when the RB's decide they are going to"spread" the ball the the OT via the forward pass when the sweep was losing 10 yards because the slot was running a route instead of blocking primary force!

WOW

Sayer:

I sent West Virginia (7mb) to bethel tate.  I sent BYU (Norm Chow passing) and Urban Meyer Utah 2004 to hotmail.

Let me know if you get them.

Sayer:

In one of your posts you asked for some spread playbooks.  I have a bunch that I can give you.  I can email you West Virginia 2005 since I have that on my computer.  It's a large file but it's really good.  What's a good email address to receive a large file?

I also have OSU 2002 if you want to get all O-HI-O with your team.

If your feeling confident in yourself, I'll give you the Patriots playbook from last year.  It is rediculous.  A play that we would have called "Right 51" they call "O out slot R 535 max base H left"

Yes, I have committed to Coach QB's for TMC which means I won't be able to post on here any longer.  I'm really looking forward to working with Charlie Carpenter.   I may have to get a divorce and may lose my business but I can't pass it up this year.  One more time right?   I'll stop by to say hi once in a while. 

See you all during the season!

Coach John Paul Case

This Super Bowl could go in so many directions because you have Rex Grossman playing QB.  If the Bears run the ball and take deep shots then they could force Manning to press.  If they want Rex to control the ball with his arm then I think the Indy pass rush will force un-recoverable errors.  Having said that, if Indy can't get it in the endzone and Vinatieri has to kick a record number of field goals then Chicago can stay in reach.   Then the Chicago's run game can win it for the Bears.  If they stay close and patient then they may take it.  I'd bet the reverse however.  I think early scores by Indy forces the Bear's hand and they never recover.  They will need a defensive score to turn that around or have no chance.

Like I said, who knows.

M and L:

You will definitely be rooting for TMC until week 10 and then you'll want MSJ to kick there ass.  The nice thing is that both can make the playoffs no matter who wins.  It is truely a free playoff game.  I found myself calling plays against my school in 2002 and that was very odd.  My saving grace was that we were the Blue Rebels when I was there not the Saints, we played at Galbraith Field instead of on campus, and I didn't have many common faces to go against.  It felt pretty distant actually.  It's going to be a lot harder for Hilvert this 1st year going back to MSJ in week 10.  Everything will fade away after that except you former players.  Maybe some former MSJ players will even coach at TMC one day.  I speak from experience.

No comment.
