RC, hows that steaming pile smelling now?  

Back from a 6 week hiatus with one question, can Cap hold Mount to less points than BW did?

Its good to see the competition of the so called "lower teir teams" is getting tougher.

BW has always been a top tier team, is it that hard to believe that they could be back on top? Last year was a tough one, in part because we had no offensive direction.  No more Danny Boy meant no more successful series' of run right, run right, run left, fake option pass, touchdown!  I think that now with a separate offensive coordinator, BW's offense will be more potent and less predictable.  The defense has always been the stronghold, and that hasn't changed.  They could play the Auggies 20 more times and probably win the majority of them. Of course I am bias, but time will tell my friends.

Mount is a force to be rekoned (sp?) with, but they do not get as much respect around the nation, at least in my opinion.  At the Aztec Bowl last year, Wes Hoestetler and myself were the only two that had picked Mount to win the National Championship, everyone else had Wisc. Whitewater, even guys that lost to Mount in the Playoffs.  Needless to say, that day Mount won the national championship, USA beat the Mexicans, Wes got MVP, and I got spit on 15 times and punched about 12 times throughout the game.  

No matter the final standings, I think that the top 3 teams in the OAC could make it to the Semi's or the finals 4 out of every 5 years.  

Jdean:  I think BW will suprise some people with a more improved offense this year. Snell has handed over the O Coordinator reigns to the former OC at Kenyon.    

RC: For my debute post I would like to Proclaim my support and loyalty to BW.  Despite your obvious disgust for the place, it's actually not all that bad.  Admittedly, the social scene sucks, they are becoming overly conservative, and the Football team is in a critical "make or break" situation...... the degree got me a job after college.

Stickley is good, but by no means the best DE in the country, that goes to either Trusnik or this cat from Rowan (not sure of his name, but he was a beast as a sophmore last year).
