Wooster Hire

Haha - Wooster hired a local HS coach.  Sure, he's an alum and has a little D3 coordinator experience, but I can't wait to see how this turns out!

Someone correct me if I mix up the details, but I think it was 2019; tie game in the 4th, and this catch was ruled incomplete.  With video, there was no doubt it was a good catch.  Wabash kicked a FG, and then DPU scored in the last minute for the win.  It was clearly a wrong call, but also had a huge impact on the game.

It's hard for me to get a still frame on Whitehead's dive, but I'm not so sure it was a bad call.  Clearly it was an outstanding effort, followed by a terrible spot, but in college football the pylon is out of bounds, and hitting it means nothing.  The ball has to break the plane inside the pylon, and I don't see that in the views I'm able to find. Would like to see a better angle if anyone has it. (Completely different than in the NFL where the pylon is inside the field of play)

Some bad calls at Blackstock have been a little more obvious.

Yes, but Hardin-Simmons would be in on their merits, regardless of conference. 5-5 is a different story.

Why did a conference with four teams get an automatic bid? Alfred State?

It's all good. I think you and I have a pretty similar perspective with a lot of things on this board, perhaps including the idea that coaches can be judged by a variety of metrics. Sometimes on-the-field success and success are not necessarily the same.

"Those glory years for Wabash football were the best run in the history of the team."

You might have a few Navarro/Parrish fans who disagree with that comment.

But all in all, very well said.

I think one of our problems is that we don't have enough guys wearing tights on only one leg.

You have to appreciate how the ISC logo covers the dot!

Does anyone know how Kenyon beat OWU?

... and Kenyon beat Hiram (DePauw's next opponent) by 20!

I'd argue that the reason the Wabash—Denison game was close is due more to the Wabash defense than the Wabash offense.

Just to clarify, this is not pointing any fingers. I just felt like both offenses were able to get some big plays, and each exploited some things in the other's defense.

This never gets old

Let's keep a little perspective about where those fans might come from.  When you consider that Whitewater's current enrollment is larger than Wabash's entire living alumni base, then packing Hollett and Blackstock is probably about right.

The Hoosier Dome would've been cool when it was brand new, but I can't even think of a suitable place to play a game like that today.  A half empty Lucas Oil is about as exciting as Cheez Whiz nachos and $15 beers -- Have you been to the Indiana HS championships in the last 20 years?

In all of D3, three games moved away from Saturday — two to Friday night and Wabash-Oberlin to Sunday.
