"Albion a difficult place to play"

For the record, Hope's record at Albion is abysmal, so much so I don't want to look it up again.

But hey, first place Dutchmen....Wooooo!

...and these babies can be placed back in their display case for another year.

I think it's safe to say that the Dutchmen only have a few more weeks til Trine rolls into town....

sflzman:
Yes, we know that, but...we'll enjoy this for now!  I can safely say also that Hope will be taking/thinking about only the next game one at a time.

Sorry Alma's Homecoming was spoiled by Albion.  Nice crowd for that (3,000 as was mentioned) and although it would have been nicer to have about 4,000 in the stands, I'm sure that it was a gorgeous day on campus for the reunions, activities, and later evening parties despite the football game loss.



sac:
Yes, nice photo and those shoes are in good shape after all these years.  They'll look nice in the display case at Hope again!  Also, you are very correct about the record at Sprankle-Sprandal Stadium/Morely Fraser Field (formerly known as Alumni Field), however, like you, I don't even want to look it up or think about it!  Too many memories of bad game outcomes down there when I played "way back then".  Maybe, just maybe we'll get lucky this year.

It's unfortunate for the loss, yes, but Alma truly was as good as Albion. Besides the 2 big play's by Orr (50 yard run to set up a TD, and 70+ yard TD reception) Alma was right in the game. The secondary was clearly hurting - no pun intended - when our starting FS and CB went down with injuries, and starting the 2nd True Freshman of the season is always tough. Although, Garrett Cook looked a lot better than what I had seen from Richard 5 games in....

Sorry to hear about the injuries to the players in your secondary.  I hope those are not serious.  Also, indeed, I saw from Alma's website that you guys had started another freshman QB for this game.  Somewhat surprising that Coach Cole and Coach Leister would make a change at this point, unless Cook had really beaten out Richard this past week in practice.  One has to consider that any true freshman is going to make mistakes for awhile until they continue to get more experience as each week goes by.  Anyway, it will be interesting to see how that plays out for you guys the remainder of the season.

Also, I think that from what you've described, and what we've all seen so far from the various teams, is that Alma, Albion, Hope, Kazoo (and Adrian) are all pretty much near the same and that it just depends on any particular Saturday which team has their "poor" day i.e. that any of these teams could beat each other.   Obviously, each week we'll see who is eliminated and who emerges to be the "final" challenge against Trine for the title and that should be interesting, although, most likely, this scene will clear up very quickly in the next two weeks or so.  Someone will be the real spoiler I'm sure.  

sflzman and colleagues:

Ok, friends, I need some help.  I am a "computer idiot" and am having trouble uploading a photo for my profile for posting here.  How does one do this?  When I go to the change profile section, I can't get my photo, which I have as a jpeg in my C drive on my computer, to get placed/copied on the profile page.  On the other hand, are we still allowed to upload the photos from the "helmet project" website and if so, how do I do that i.e. does anyone have the www. and/or url and how to do that, if I am not able to upload my own photo?  Thanks for your help.

Well, for the helmet project you need the url, which is: http://www.nationalchamps.net/Helmet_Project/Alma_MI.gif

You probably don't want the alma helmet, but it works the same way for others, http://www.nationalchamps.net/Helmet_Project/School_2 Letter State Abbreviation

If the picture you want is on your computer, then you need to upload it on to a website before you can get it to your profile.

Hope this helps

Cook had been the JV starter, and had apparently played really well, as our JV has averaged something like 40 points a game. I really don't know how much better our offense is going to do, no matter who's at QB. I think our offense is trying to get through the season, then Leister can start and it'll be all good. Then our problem is that we loose Schaar, who - in my opinion - is the best WR in the league.

The other thing I've noticed that has caused a handful of interceptions this year is our extreme lack of size at WR. That crossing route that had always been there for McGrady in the past seasons with Matt Brown, or Brad Gray isn't working as well this season because of the lack of big strong receivers. Barak Henderson is 6-6 with good speed, but he can't get hit, and I don't think we have any other major receivers over 6 feet tall....

I do also agree that 2nd place is going to go any of the teams - i doubt alma or olivet, both being 0-2 - and it's going to come down to the last week.

sflzman:
Thanks for the info on both accounts.

Helmet Project doesn't let you do that with its photos, however, and other sites may similarly block that type of usage. Some online photo services do the same thing, however, last I saw photobucket was still allowing you to display images hosted on their site remotely on other sites.

You can find the URL of a photo in general by right-clicking on it and selecting Copy Image Location if you're in Firefox, or clicking Properties in IE and then copying the location from the window that pops up.

Obviously, I don't want to impinge on copyrights - I'm a published author myself, so I am well aware of those aspects.  Yet, admittedly, I was not aware the Helmet Project wouldn't allow posting of the helmets here.  When I clicked on the site, the Hope helmet came up, although I see it is now changed, either by you or them - which is fine with me.  Still, I see that some other posters on here apparently still have the helmet project photos still up on their profiles.

Here is my problem Pat; I have a photo of a Hope helmet that I took myself, but it is on my C drive of my own computer and I can't get it to copy on the profile page you have for some reason i.e. it won't transfer over from my computer when tyring to attach it from the "browse" section of my own documents - the "location" on my computer in my documents gets posted on your area of the profile, but then the picture doesn't come through.  Any suggestions? Help please!  Your instructins regarding the "right click" andProperties in IE apply?  Sorry for my ignorance on this as again, I am not as knowledgable on these aspects as you and our colleagues.  Thanks.

Formed3db,

Maybe I can help with that. You notice that I have a Raider helmut. Is there a picture of one available on a website? I check as well!

I sent you a PM, I have the Hope helmut picture!!

No, you have to get it onto the internet somewhere else -- we don't have space to host avatars for posters.

68, for example, found his Raiders helmet somewhere besides the Helmet Project.

If you're looking for Hope, I have another URL. http://www.alma.edu/repository/athletics/live_stats/HopeFootball.GIF

If you're not looking for Hope, just use the URL, but change the word "Hope" as long as the team is in a conference relatively close to alma, it should be there. I think it stretches to the MIAC West, and the OCA/HCAC East...

Formerd3db,

Pat is correct and I have the Hope helmut from another source. Just let me know and we can get it done for you!

Raider, sflzman and Pat:

Thanks all of you for the help.  Also, Raider and sflzman, I sent you guys a note - check your personal messages.

Best,
