And 10 linemen total.  Hopefully that helps provide some depth for them.

Lets hop this is the start of a trend.

Glad to see Oberlin bringing in some frosh.

[bashgiant]

Any more word about incoming frosh at Wabash?

New OWU lineman Sigg is the size we need....
the year at the Academy should be a plus for him
in terms of maturity, focus & physical growth....
The Euro trip has been a great spring-board for
the "Espo-less" Bishops...

trifecta sweep...simply awesome

I second that.  Yes, unbelievable, yet fantastic accomplishment!

They need to quit hogging everything and share some with the rest of us.

[Pat Coleman]

I think you have a few interim steps to worry about before you start talking about having a shot at the championship.

[DPU3619]

Thanks for that.

[The_Bishop]

Thanks for that.

12 weeks until game week.  Not that I'm counting.

I got online this morning to see how long the drive is from Columbus to Washington, PA.  You know, in case I want to drive there. On a Thursday. For a scrimmage.  So yeah, I'm right there with you, Wally!

Sure thought Wabash would have been shown a lot more love in the preseason polls with the amount of returning starters and one of the best defenses in the country, not to mention two healthy stud running backs that they did with out most of the season last year. I was expecting a ranking around 6 or 7.

That's probably a little lofty for preseason polling, bg.  Teams generally don't get to not make the playoffs and then be top 10 to start the next year (with the exception of maybe UWW 2012-2013...but many titles buy you that kind of poll placement mulligan).  I'd guess that when the D3football.com poll comes out in August (or maybe late July?), Wabash will land somewhere around 20 give or take a few spots. 

I haven't looked around for the other preseason rankings...which ones have you seen and where is Wabash?  And other NCAC teams (probably just Witt, maybe Wooster if some mag is feeling frisky)?
