FB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[HSCTiger fan]

Relax Dad. If you look at this group of players. Those dressing out this weekend they've not won a championship, they have advance no further in the playoffs than the first round. They've beat 1 team that finished the season ranked - Witt in 2012

HSC has won 2 championships, advanced just as far in the playoffs. HSC also in that time frame beat 1 team that finished the season ranked. CNU in 2014.

I know it pisses you off but I am not going to give you credit nationally for what you want to do.  You only get credit for what you've done. With this group! No one cares on this team cares what happen before they got to Wabash. Sure they respect their history but they need to make some of their own. right now they've not done too much as compared to their Wabash brother from the past. That may all change this year.

Start calling me names dad. That'll stop me from posting for sure! Not.

Dude... Your son will hopefully play well....   He may even pancake block someone....  who knows,  he might even send you a glance or a  wave or two from the stands during the game.

But stop with this "Give my team respect" kick....   

The game will be played... one team will win... and one team will lose.

Next topic.

Let's talk about a few games that will be more of National significance.

1.  #24 Chapman @ #3 Linfield
2.  #28 Rowan @ #12 Widener
3.  Will Eau Claire give St. Thomas another scare?

I've never seen a team rise on the hot gas of 30 minutes of football quite like HSC post-Linfield two seasons ago.

I have. It was Wabash last year after winning a favorable first round match up against an unranked team they played a top ranked UWW a good half of football only to get beaten like a red-headed step child in the second half.  Better be glad you did. That failed audition may have been what cost Reaburn the UWW job.

Brothe, I don't have a son on the team.

I don't think Raeburn or anyone other than the inside guy had any chance at this job. You're kind of grasping at things that you don't understand and that won't fly on this board. People pay attention to what goes on outside their conference on this board.

My bad... I see now that he graduated last year.

Good luck to all in Saturday's contest.... Play hard... stay healthy.

Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but is it pretty much a certainty that Putko and Rice will rotate this year?  I noticed both were voted captains which is obviously not normally seen.

[BashDad]

Relax Dad.

No.

I know it pisses you off but I am not going to give you credit nationally for what you want to do.  You only get credit for what you've done.

Well, we beat you, for starters. And you were ranked.

You've won A SINGLE playoff game. ONE. Add eight to that and you have Wabash's number. All of this does piss me off.

Dude, way out of line.  You're in over your skis now.  I'd say dial it back and tell us how the team expects to win.

Lord, help me.

You don't have a single win in your program's history as good as that win against an unranked Franklin.

By this board I assume you mean the NCAC board where a bunch of Wabash fans gather and tell each other how good their team is.  There's not much else going on here Pat. I know Bashdad is mad at me right now but deep down he's secretly happy he's got me to offer rebuttal. Heck when I'm not here it's like watching an episode of SNL on the Chicago fans sitting around talking about Ditka and Da Bears.

Not knowing for sure.... this is what many/most of us believe is possible,  at least early on.

I expect that we'll see Putko and Rice play simultaneously.  Also, Drake Christen is an accomplished quarterback so on offense at any one time Wabash will have three competent passers on the field.  The possibilities are endless and I expect the first time he sees it, Marty Favret's head is going to explode like a fembot.

I'll dial it back after the game. So if I understand you and Pat your coach during recruiting season was interviewing for a job none of you expected him to get?  A job he did not expect to get? Or at a minimum have a shot at getting?  Baloney!  Do I need to go back and share all the quotes of concern from you guys earlier this year?

Dad
We weren't ranked at the end of the year.

Throwing the flag here. In 1976 HSC defeated #1 ranked in DIII then Madison University, now James Madison University, in an ABC nationally televised game. If you are going to make statements about a program's whole history, you should at least look up some of the highlights. Unranked Franklin doesn't measure up to that win, though it is now almost 40 years in the past, it is still part of the "program's history".

I would venture a guess that Wabash has never beaten the #1 ranked team in DIII, and probably doesn't have a win that good, but I won't make a definite statement since I'm not sure...

[wally_wabash]

What's clear is that you have no earthly idea what you're talking about.  Stick to HSC talk, friend.  Because the second you stray away from that topic, you sound foolish.
