This is Wabash's Jim Amidon's look at the game: http://www.wabash.edu/news/displaystory.cfm?news_ID=3005

Pat:
I found out a few years ago that it was an all guys school.  For most people I know that would be a challenge.  I guess the most important thing in college is academics, and then athletics.  I guess it would have been nice if they had a "sister" college.

There's a lot more to college than just academics and athletics.  Academics certainly are higher priority than athletics, but there is way more to it than just class and sports. 

Wabash doesn't have a particular need for a "sister" school...C'ville is a surprisingly popular destination for coeds from colleges and universities all over Indiana.  The opportunities to socialize with the fairer gender are plenty.  Don't feel too sorry for Wabash men.

General Schwarzkopf was walking through the desert during the Gulf War when he found a lamp on the ground. He picked it up, rubbed, and out came a genie.

Four college alumni were climbing a mountain one day: an Ohio State grad, a Michigan grad, a Penn State grad, and a Notre Dame grad. Each proclaimed to be the most loyal of all fans at their alma mater. As they climbed higher, they argued as to which one of them was the most loyal of all. They continued to argue all the way up the mountain, and finally as they reached the top, the Notre Dame grad hurled himself off the mountain, shouting "This is for the Fighting Irish!" as he fell to his doom. Not wanting to be out done, the Penn State grad threw himself off the mountain proclaiming, "This is for the Nittany Lions!" Seeing this the OSU grad walked over and shouted "This is for the Buckeyes!" and pushed the Wolverine off the side of the mountain.



A guy in a bar leans over to the guy next to him and says, "Wanna hear a Michigan joke?" The guy next to him replies, "Well before you tell that joke, you should know something. I'm 6' tall, 200 lbs., and I am a Michigan grad. The guy sitting next to me is 6 ' 2" tall, weighs 225, and he's a Michigan grad. The fella next to him is 6 ' 5" tall, weighs 250, and he's a Michigan grad. Now, you still wanna tell that joke?" The first guy says, "No, not if I'm gonna have to explain it three times."




GO BUCKS!

[wally_wabash]

There's seriously not a better place to do that?  Wow. 

I was listening to Rome at lunch today...some Buckeye fan called in railing all things Wolverine.  Really not a bad call until he got to a score prediction.  Jeff in Columbus called it....OSU is going to roll it up on UM by a final score of 27 to 27. 

The next hour's worth of calls and emails were priceless.  I can't make this stuff up....it's on the webpage.  Check it out.

The one thing that Michigan has always been able to hold over OSU (other than their monstrous edge in the overall series) is that UM is a better school than OSU (it is) and that UM kids are smarter than OSU kids (they are).  Then Jeff comes on and proves the point.  Awesome, awesome stuff....this all coming from a guy (me) who could care less who wins that game. 

[BashDad]

Agreed, Wally, but alot of it is funny--some good material for The Bell Game chat room next year?  One wonders how long the Ohio folks have been collecting the list, or how the Ann Arbor list of jokes compares?  Those of us who live in southern Indiana have a similar list for our friends across the river in Kentucky.  Oh, well...

Michigan by 7 (UofM that is) ... while WABASH ALWAYS FIGHTS!!

formerd3db:

See you beneath the scoreboard at end of 1st half.
Full response to you on the North Coast board.
Travel safe.  See you tomorrow.

[miaafbfan]

Good luck to Albion tomorrow!  (Hard for an ALMA grad to say that!)  Represent the MIAA well.  As many have said on this board, it should be a good game with two great programs.  Go Brits!

[albinomascot19]

An alma grad huh, theres nothing wrong with that.  The Great Coach Pete Schmidt was an Alma Grad and went on to coach Albion College, and give us our lone national championship (1994).  Anyway, it should be an interesting matchup coming up at noon.  I will definitely be there.  I was thinking about driving there myself, but we have fan transportation which leaves around 6am from our college.  We should be there by about 11ish or so.  I hope to see many of you there.  Remember my face will be painted purple...and you can't miss me.   Hope it ends up being a pleasant day of football!  Go Brits!   

[Li'l Giant]

Congrats to Albion on a great season.

My computer crashed and I had to listen to the Albion broadcast as the Wabash stream was tapped out. Your broadcast crew was good. Very knowledgeable and professional.

Thanks for the good game and good luck next year, Britons.

[formerd3db]

Congrats to Albion for a valient effort today and representing our MIAA.   

[formerd3db]

Apparently Tri-State's Head Coach Frey has been released from duties.  The website lists an assistant as the interim head coach.  Anyone have info on this?

[formerd3db]

Anyone?  What did you think about the All-MIAA selections last week?  I was somewhat surprised - not sure I agree with some of the selections.  But nonetheless, congratulations to all those selected to all the teams, 1st, 2nd and Honorable Mention.

BTW, wish some of you would join me here in some occasional discussion.  I'm going to get a complex in being "the lone poster" on our board if this continues!

[albinomascot19]

I was in Crawfordsville, Indiana, the game was definitely ugly.  I feel the first possession on offense for Albion really set the tone of the game.  With Wabash being up 7-0, Albion got the ball back, and they appeared to score a touchdown, but the referees ruled it incomplete (he didnt hold it long enough, and then dropped it).  There was a crucial point in the game when they were down 24-6, when Albion had a punt blocked and it was recovered in the end zone for a 31-6 lead.  Albion had chances, but Wabash was the more dominant team in the game.  Albion's defense was on the field way too long.  Our offense couldnt capatilize.  On the first possession from a possible touch down, an interception was thrown.  Giving a good effort is important, but in the final game story the only stat that matters is whether you scored more points than the other teams......and there was no W.  I congratulate Albion on winning the MIAA.  However, reality is, still the MIAA hasnt won a game since the playoffs expanded.  I don't know if the problem lies in recruiting, or is it that the region record is poor.  In order to prepare for the playoffs there must be a tougher non conference schedule.  MIAA teams are flopping like no other in the Football playoffs.  Since Albion won the 1994 National Championship, I believe no current member of the MIAA has won a playoff game.  Bottom line:  We need to be competetive in the playoffs, and hopefully have another team claim the hardware.  Our conference is seen weak in football, but I feel that it will improve.  I hope our conference will get the respectability as it does in basketball!

I too was very surprised at some of the selections. Too dissapointed to post. Congrats to those that made the selections. Many names not on the lists that I think could have been there, many, many names that should have been switched around. Guess name recognition goes a long way in making the selections, as do repeat winners.

I will try to help you out in not being the lone poster but job duties have been changed and I find less time to even get to this site much less post.
