Any thoughts on Alma's OC - Leister's son leaving Ferris St. to come run the Scotgun?

[Raider 68]

This board is so quiet given that summer camp for most teams is only 4 weeks away!

Do all the MIAA schools have football JV teams, and how many games do they play each year?

I believe all have JV teams except Kazoo, the latter due to their low roster #'s.

We'll try to start getting this "reved up"!

I hadn't heard that, but, indeed interesting.  Nothing is posted yet on the Alma football website, although it appears their SID is currently working on it as their is a partial 2010 roster being posted.  Also interesting is the fact that 1/2 of Alma's coaching staff will be new this year it appears.  Several recently graduated former players have been added to the staff - quite a larger # than usual for a turnover in staff which happens periodically/frequently at any small school, yet a great opportunity for the young coaches.

Speaking of the Alma area itself, I heard today that one of it's town doctors (he is NOT the College's team physician) is one of 4 persons (including the high school's superintendent) missing lost in Lake Michigan in a small plane crash this AM.  They were on their way to the Mayo Clinic where the superintendent was being treated for cancer according to the TV reports this evening.  The only survivor is the pilot, the others are missing and presumed dead.  A very tragic happening and my thought and prayers go out to the families of those missing.

Anyone know the conditioning protocol among the MIAA teams going into summer camp? Are they all much the same or does one school put the players through a more rigorous program?

Raider68:

I can only relate a little bit about this currently and in a more general sense on some other aspects.  I don't doubt that each school has a pretty rigourous program, just perhaps some variences.  In other tangential aspects, I know that at Alma, for a long time, they have held some of the practices in the evening when it was cooler (although in some recent years, the weather patterns have changed so that it is even hotter and more humid after 5 PM until mid-evening as we all know).  I believe all of them still have meetings at night as well and that still makes for a long day (as we all recall ).  At Hope, during the second week, it is mandetory that freshman players be excused for some orientation and setting up classes and other aspects, testing, etc. whenever those days occur.  As you mentioined, perhaps some of our colleagues here can expound on more detail as to what the current protocol is at their alma maters and/or their son's schools.

What MIAA team will have the toughest opener this fall? 

[Mr. Ypsi]

What MIAA team will have the toughest opener this fall? 

I'd like to say Hope, since they open against my Titans, but I think they are somewhat trumped by Adrian, who opens at UW-Whitewater!

Yeah, Mr. Ypsi, I'd have to agree with that one.

Mr. Ypsi,

If Adrian can hold UWW to under 3 TD's, they should consider it a good showing!

not only that...but they would be in position to win the game if they hold UWW to under 3 TD's!!

With due respect to Whitewater

Week 1 Butler at Albion   FCS ( ) vs D3

I think the bigger question, on Dutchmen minds anyway, is will Hope win a non-conference game this year?

Hope has lost 21 straight regular season non-conference games, and 23 in a row including playoffs.

Its got to end this year.

Wis-Lutheran will be a winable game...they aren't too strong.
