I didn't realize about the limited roster (only being my second year in MIAA)....  That's awful!  Everyone needs everyone at that point.


Nice article today on Trine on D3.  Sounds like it should be a great game!

And out of those 15 Trine players listed, only 3 are seniors.....   

D3 Around the Nation is also believing in Trine tomorrow....

Not just a thunderstorm, but a whiteout 

Regarding the officiating of the Trine/Albion game...  how about the one where Albion had four guys jump on defense and were still in the neutral zone when the ball was snapped and no flag...

And the one who got called for calling fair catch was my son...  Said he was doing no such thing - lined up just like his corner position on punt returns and was blocking the whole way down the field.  Interested in the real ruling for that one too.

If by chance (just a chance  just throwing this out:  If Adrian wins their next two games and both Adrian and Trine go 5-1, who receives the playoff bid?  Adrian, because they won the head to head?  Or overall record?  Thanks.

Weather for Saturday is currently looking great!

Thanks D306 for the great insites!!  I have two boys - both All State Class A senior HS year - both county leaders in interceptions.  One went D2 for a year.  Red shirted - told 3 years before he'd see varsity play time - said kids who play don't talk to the ones that don't - said even after a full season he didn't think a coach knew his name.  Took the love of football out of him - also got injured and wasn't offered a scholarship back - had the talent, but only 5'8".  Still attends there - 4th year with a 3.2 gpa.  We figured life out quick with that.  He had alot to do with my second son going D3.  For the love of the game.  My second son started D3 as a freshman last year - tied university intercept record.  Tuition is twice that of the D2 college, but what he received in "scholarships" from D3 equaled that of the partial football scholarship we received for D2.  Those boys and coaches are out there for great reasons and receiving excellent educations.  I love Saturdays in the fall!

We we first went D2 we thought 130 man roster was crazy....  That was with the 67 partial scholarships.  Adrian's roster is at 194 this year?  Wow. 

My son plays tomorrow.....   lets talk MIAA 

Predictions?  Scouting reports?

Kickoff tonight @ 7:00!!  Good luck Trine!
