I was very glad to see the three PAC athletes mentioned in the Faces in the Crowd section of SPrts Illustrated.  While not the most glamorous attention, any comment in/on national media is free advertising for your school and its conference.

ScotsFan,

I am not certain what to expect from the Titans this year.  Although, I have a feeling that it will be more than rebuilding year for the Titans.  With the loss of a good RB and a new coach.  I think a rocky start to the Hand era is inevitable...my question is will it last all season?  This weekend when ONU comes to New Wilmington could be the tip of the iceberg.  We'll have to see how the boys taken to Hand and his staff.  If I get to the Waynesburg game this weekend, I will have an answer for you pilskin.

True this board is a lot more boring now that many of the W&J student-athletes...alums do not grace us with their pontifications.  I do not know if there is a lot of animosity because of Banny getting the axe the way he did or what it is.  What do we expect out of the teams in the PresAC this week, with all 6 teams playing this week?  Anyone planning on making it to any of the games?  I may try to make it to the Denison-Waynesburg game, as it is fairly close to Columbus...if anyone is planning to make it there...let me know.

To family of Doug Schmied:  May the strength of God pull you all through this situation.  My heartfelt condolences are with and I will continue to pray for you all.  Share the joyous memories you have, and know that you will all meet again!

Well there Slamdaddy,
Nothing like being called out...and then not being around to be called out.  As for what I think will happen in PAC this year, I agree that Edwards to Krepps will be a commonly heard duo on Saturdays for the Prez, and that Thiel has a strong returning class.  I am a little apprehensive about the Titans having a lot this year...their top offensive weapons, save QB, have graduated...and I don't know if the return of Bonenberger is enough to spark the D...especially since the younger Froelich acted like an idiot and is no longer with the Titans.  I am also enxious to see how they respond to Jeff Hand.  No word out of PAC camps...I was hoping that you would have something for me, but you are letting me down, Slammer.

I noticed that SI tried to provide some coverage on D3 football.  1/3 a page is all it got...but so did DI-A and DII, so we cannot complain.  W&J made SI's preseason top 10, I wonder if they consulted any of the D3 gurus who seem to know more about small college football than some of the sportscasters that work for ESPN, ABC, etc know about sports in general.
