There was great concern for Kwesi, but I understand that, as of this morning, he is doing much better. I have no idea if/when he might be able to play again, but I think he will make a full recovery.

HSCTiger74, I take your point. There is no doubt that your respect for Pedro is well earned. Nevertheless, there are many holes to fill.

Randolph-Macon lost 17 5th year seniors from last year's team. Losses included the starting QB and his backup, the starting RB, all starting WRs (including David Wallis who signed with the New England Patriots), the starting TE, two all-american O-linemen, two starting D-linemen, and a starting S. R-MC has a lot of reloading to do. This will be one of Pedro's biggest challenges.

With summer camp only about a month off, what do people think the order of finish in the ODAC will be this year?

If the NCAA was focused on giving as many teams as possible a chance to play in 6 playoff weekends, they would have gone to 64 teams. I suspect that they wanted to give the "clearly deserving" at large teams a chance to play while not driving costs up too high.

What thoughts do people have about the new 40 team DIII football playoff format?

Hampden-Sydney's 2024 football roster came out this week. I counted 165 players! 82 freshmen and a few transfers beyond that! Obviously, that's a very large class of new recruits.

jknezek, thank you for the posts. I always enjoy reading about your thinking. Of course, I don't always agree, but a always appreciate it.

In prior years, H-SC has not charged admission. However, they do charge for parking. So, you pay per car.

Merry Christmas to all!

Tough loss R-MC. Great season though! Congratulations.

Thank you for the kind words. If our starting QB had been able to play, it might have been a different outcome. Nevertheless, I think that the team did some things they can build on.

W&L won the ODAC on the field and deserves the AQ bid. Nevertheless, it is extremely disappointing that a very good R-MC team does not get to go to the NCAA tournament. We will have to let this disappointment motivate us to do better next year. I know that a quality program like ours will do exactly that.

Congratulations to the Generals on winning the ODAC. They are a good team that has played hard all year. Good luck in the NCAA playoff. Bring home a couple of wins and help the ODAC get some respect.

W&L played a good game (particularly the last drive and the two point conversion). They deserved the win. Congratulations to the Generals. It was a disappointing day for the Yellow Jackets.
