I did think he created more of a problem for us his freshman year, but I would think that is because of how great the rest of the MSJ defense was that year.  Unbelievable that year, great game, MSJ winning 21-14.  I think AH can be great WHEN he wants to be.  But like I said, a much better player with his hand in the ground in my opinion.

Ive told you my thoughts on what I expect from FC next year, what about DC and MSJ?  I know DC finished this year extremely strong, do they return a lot? All I know about MSJ is Harbin will be back. Do you think he is a better LB or DE?  I tend to think the latter......

Thanks for the advice and suggestions....I know Indiana does offer emergency liscenses.....If I were to get a special ed job, I would be taking one class per semester to hold onto that temp liscense.

If any of you know of any GA positions opening, or if you know of any high school teaching and coaching jobs opening let me know! I am Phys Ed and Health, but am willing to go the special ed route, will look into Indiana, Cincy, Chicago.....Thanks for any help!

I like your points as well.  I was just saying I do understand what Stoops is saying if you just want to look at head to head, points aside.  I do think it is the right national championship matchup.

Just a plus one system would help us even more though! USC, UF, OK, and Texas........but then we have Bama and PSU....geez!  Maybe it should be a year by year basis, all the undefeated and one loss teams in a tourney?  8 team playoff only takes 3 weeks! Start it the week before the new year, semis on new years, championship on the normal date! 

When I click on the All-Region link on the front page of D3football.com, it does not have 2008 listed?  Anyone know if Im missing something here?

Isnt this what is great about the D3 playoffs???  FC would probably have been in a bowl comparable to the Gator Bowl or Alamo Bowl, but proved themselves to be apart the elite 8 and therefore would have been a BCS bowl.  Same goes for Wheaton, heck they wouldve been in the motor city bowl, look at them now!

Come on now... Wheaton could have made the Roady's Humanitarian bowl, the magicJack St. Petersburg bowl, the R+L Carriers New Orleans bowl, or the Papajohns.com bowl.  Give Wheaton some credit... 

OK OK OK Mugsy.....solid points,  just thought it would sound better going from the Motor City Bowl to the Sugar/BCS Champ/Rose etc......hahahaha!!

Stoops has a good point, if you look head to head, yes Texas beat OU, but Texas Tech as also 11-1, and Tech beat Texas if you want to look at head to head.  Its a sticky situation.  I do think the Sooners and Gators are playing the best ball right now!! Give a plus one at least please.

GrizPride...

Congrats on a super season this year.  Big wins against Otterbein and North Central.  As a Trine Thunder fan, it is too bad our teams could not have met again in the playoffs!  We both caught a Wheaton team that caught fire at just the right time, it seems.   

Thanks Uncle Rico, Wheaton has just caught some serious fire havent they?  Yes,  I was really hoping to get another shot at Trine up at Angola, but oh well.  Both of us had some great seasons this year.  Good luck to Trine next year! 

Got ya! Thought you were Tony....

Wheaton College ended my career yesterday, unfortunately, but I wanted to give the Thunder the credit they deserved!!  They were a class act and had a great game plan.  I hope the Thunder can give Mount all they can handle and more next week! 

GrizPride,

Congrats to you on an outstanding season.  I was incredibly impressed with every aspect of the Franklin program on Saturday.  Great atmosphere, outstanding team, class all around...

Thanks Mugsy.....Wheaton was a class act as well.  Not a whole lot of smack talking going on Saturday thats for sure!  Sometimes that can be fun!, but not when its your last game ever.....WC left a great impression on us for sure and they are a model program......good luck Saturday Thunder!

WabashOline----do you play center by any chance?

I will try my best to keep them out of trouble!! No easy task indeed!

He is going to have to help me drop some of these lineman lbs off, so we will be hitting the tracks and weightrooms more frequently as opposed to the local hangouts...lets hope!

KyGrizzly, 

This is actually your son's roommate!!!   

He loves Franklin College football.  He is just as happy in a win as we all are, and just as upset when we lose.  I think that has made FC such a great place to play for.  Our fans are nothing short of amazing.  Success helps this of course!! We played in 5 different homecoming contests this year, and nothing compared to the FC homecoming, or the Victory Bell game, let alone the three playoff games.  I think we had more fans than Otter and North Central did and we were on the road!  It was awesome!

SaintsFan,

Good points, replacing Chad Rupp is not possible!! He was a great person and player to play with.  The Grizzlies need to focus on continuing to get everyone else better that is involved on the offense.  This will only help whoever becomes the next quarterback.  I expect the Grizzlies to shine next year, however, even without Chad Rupp.  You will see more running from the Grizzlies Im sure, especially with almost the whole Oline back, one of which will be in his 3rd year starting, and the other 2 will be 4 year starters!  That has to make the newly appointed quarterback feel pretty darn safe! Should be fun and interesting!
