Congats to the Huntington Hawks (3-0) .....I think most of us knew they would get competitive pretty quick.

The competition is what's up there.

There's competition to the Journal-Review?

Who cares what's up...the more coverage the better. To be honest, I'm way more interested in what other coaches have to say about Wabash than what our own staff has to say. I think the former is more telling about the quality of our team (Creighton, and most good coaches, tend to downplay their team's strengths). I'm really enjoying the extended Wabash football coverage in the JR.

BTW, I loved Billy's visor. He looked like Robosafety. Cool stuff.

I remember travelling to Wooster my Freshman year at Mount Union to play (1990). The Showers were freezing cold and flooded the locker room. Although I don't have much to say because the Visiting Locker Room at Mount Union is pretty run down as well.

Hiram had a nice Visitors Locker Room, but it was small. As a Sophomore, I had to dress in the Gymnasium, while workers walked though setting up the concession stands and they had the door propped open. I'm sure lots of passerbys got a good view.

Yes, the Paper of Montgomery County - that has some familiar names working for it. I cover the Crawfordsville HS football team for it.

Li'l Giant · September 30, 2005, 09:47:37 AM

Well, Smed, I guess you qualify as a "familiar name".

I'm assuming it's on the web somewhere. Have an address?

I agree with TU,

The full tuition thing plays a much larger role than many of you know. Many full tuition students who flunk out usually have several opportunities to come back that financial aid kids don't have. I guess its just the nature of the beast.

kirasdad-
Your post brought back memories of a trip to St. Joseph's (IN) College in the 70's. Our dressing room was in a building used for athletics or recreation but it had huge picture windows all the way across the front of the building with no shades on the windows! And to top it off the path along side the windows was the path used by quite a few people headed to the stadium.
It was fortunate that there were a few folding partitions and other large objects to set in front of the windows. I seem to remember we found some type of paper and tape so we could cover some of the windows but we couldn't cover everything.

My High School (DeKalb HS, IL) Offensive Coordinator played Football at St. Joe's and graduated in 1972. Small world.

I started going to Wabash games in 1969 so I could have seen him play or at the very least have a program from the game that might have him listed on the roster (assuming he was on the football team). I have a program from every game I have attended.

So.....OWU starts two freshmen on their O-line.

Thoughts, questions, concerns?

The wide-out/db matchup should be fun.

smedindy · September 30, 2005, 10:37:02 AM

Oldguy - Not that I know of - of the schools I know. The full tuition deadbeats had the same chance to get back in as the others. Please, elaborate.

The address for the new paper (well, it's almost a year old) is www.thepaper24-7.com

oldguy · September 30, 2005, 11:25:59 AM

I had friends at several schools who flunked out 3 times and were still allowed back. Coincidentally, they were all full tuition kids. I knew several students (some football players) from my school and others that flunked out and were only allowed back once. Coincidentally, they were financial aid kids.

I know that statement was pretty general and vague(sp?), but I'm not going to list names or bad mouth particular schools. I understand why schools do it. They need the money. It may not be fair, but again, its the nature of the beast.
