Carl - looks like they took that bait, hook, line, and sinker.   

Those of us who know you from the hoops side and have gotten to enjoy your sarcasm for several years might not have.  Happy to know you're still out there - even if it is in Knight country

RE: YAZ

I think the taken may be on you posters.  Carl Yaz has been around the MIAA for sometime.

Those of you who remember Gregg the great Yashbi, may realize that Carl Yaz and the Great posted quite often on the MIAA basketball log.

Don't think he took the Calvin football hook, line and sinker, but I do think you all did!!!!!!!!!

Well, indeed then, the joke is on us !  I've seen Carl's name before on some other boards in the past, although admittedly, didn't recall his being on the MIAA bb board as I don't frequent that one much.  Nonetheless, just goes to show that we can take a joke here too! and I'd say that most here would say that any fun discussion on our board is welcome.  Some would say though, that Calvin should take football "hook, line and sinker"!

I expect TSU to have a winning season this year and go undefeated for the next three years after that.  If it sounds far fetched, that's because I am now a TSU fan and have no choice but to support my son's team.

Funny and honest.

Some info in Kickoff about the transfers. Just reading back several pages on this board, and saw the references to it, thought I'd mention it.

Are there any teams that have scrimmages against other teams this weekend?

[LetItRain]

Tri-State scrimmages Anderson University at 4:30 PM this afternoon (8/23).  I'll be hitting the road to travel to Angola in just a few minutes....

[ADAWGISADAWG4LIFE]

Adrian scrimmages ONU on Friday and I believe the start time is 1pm.

Albion plays GRCC in Grand Rapids Saturday 10AM at East Grand Rapids Stadium

[formerd3db]

Hope's Annual final intra-squad scrimmage, the Blue/Orange scrimmage, is this Saturday at 1:30 PM at the college's E. Buys practice field/Brewer Track and Field Complex, next to Holland Muninicpal Stadium.

I also thought that someone had posted a few days ago that Alma scrimmages DII Northwood University today as these two schools have done the past few years.

Season openers are right around the corner...it will be an exciting season!

Adrian scrimmages ONU on Friday and I believe the start time is 1pm.

I think this will be a good scrimmage for both schools.  Adrian gets to go against some top level competition and see what they have under a more controlled setting.

I will look forward (as I'm sure the rest of you will also) to hearing reviews from anyone on the various MIAA team scrimmages from the past 3-4 days.

As far as Hope's Annual Blue and Orange scrimmage yesterday, the rain cleared the time of the 1:30 PM scrimmage and it was a beautiful sunny/warm and mildly cloudy day; warm yet without the humidity of the last two years for this event and due to a nice breeze.  Good crowd (parents, family, friends, some community supporters, on hand as usual.

The offense did well and certainly much better than the past two years in this scrimmage.  Seemed to move the ball well with balanced passing and running games.  Linemen overall appear to be bigger this year and everyone appeared in much better conditioning shape as compared to last August's scrimmage.  Several key starters held out due to some minor "nagging" injuries, however, should be ready for the opener this Saturday.  Unfortunately, it was disappointing to learn that starting senior tailback Bucho is out for a two game suspension due to a violation of team policy (the nature of which is has not been, nor will be, publically made known).  Defense should be fine, but needs to work on some "fine tweaking" i.e. a few minor aspects this week, but should be ready.  Final team count after the usual attrition during the two week pre-season yesterday was 152, which thus having only 8 leave the program is not bad.  JV team should be well-stocked and plenty of opportunity for some to earn some varsity playing time, at least perhaps on special teams.

Wis-RF will be a tough oppenent and Hope needs a good win to start the season out.  Overall, though, most who saw the scrimmage felt the offense "had a shot in the arm" much needed after the playoff loss last November.  Hope should be ready for Saturday.  Like all of you, I hope the weather is great and a good turnout for the season opening game/first home game of the season.  Good luck to all the teams this upcoming Saturday.
