Now that Formerd3db is back at the post, Hope will win for sure, right!

It's unfortunate that Hope has had such a long streak of losses in that capacity, but I tell you what, Hope is one of the most difficult teams Trine plays every year, whether it be at home or on the road.

You guys are most kind.  Thank you very much.  Indeed, I HOPE the nightmare ends this weekend!  I will be going to the game with the team, so we'll see what happens.  Good luck to all your own teams as well (Trine, IWU and MUC...oops, I mean MTU  ) and drive safe if/when you go to the games.  Talk to you all later.

Best,

How will the MIAA do this weekend, wins vs. losses?

76-7 Trine over Bluffton!  I know Bluffton isn't that good of a team, but wow!!! That's pretty darn good.

          Seriously, folks, it's too bad WLC had to leave the conference before getting off the schneid angainst Hope.  You guys used to wallop us royally.

Duly noted.

In my defense, I was hardly alone - MIAA Pickems went Hope 10, WLC 0.

Hope fans were wishing their nightmare was going to end. I have just one question for them, DO YOU WANT TO SWITCH? I'll be happy to switch nightmares with you.

FIRE HULKOW AND BATEMEN NOW! The program will has not and will not get better.

I can take losing, but I cannot stomach the serious lack of competitiveness, 124 total yards game 1, 115 game 2. They have been outscored 85-13, only 16 first downs, 2.3 yds per play (opp 6.4), top recievers stats Games2, REC  3, YDS 29. Top rusher  15 att, 46yds, 3.1per carry. They can't score, they can't stop anyone from scoring. JUST PLAIN PATHETIC!

I REPEAT, FIRE HULKOW AND BATEMAN NOW!!!!


I am thinking about wearing a brown paper bag over my head to the next game.

Sometimes it gets worse before it gets better!  Their problem is that they have no business playing school like Wittenberg, Elmhust, North Central, and Wheaton, in their non-miaa schedule.  Maybe one of those schools but no all of them.  Getting beat like that can kill a teams confidence before it gets started.

Not to rub it in Bluffton's face, but it was actually 76-6... Chris Verley recorded his school record 11th blocked kick in the 1st quarter which really turned Trine's defense around. Bluffton started the game off by botching an onsides kick, which the kicker almost swung and missed the ball. Trine got the ball at the 29 because Bluffton was also offsides (on the onsides) so they got 5 more yards.

Trine is treating the trip up to River Falls like a playoff game. It'll be a true test of their skills early before heading into the MIAA schedule. It's the 2nd game of their 3-game roadtrip (3rd game is @ Adrian) and I'm looking forward to the trip. It's a 9-hour drive, which is going to make for a LONG weekend.

Seems that some of the MIAA team really need to look at their schedule. Trine shouldl never be playing a team like Blufton and Olivet and others the opposite scenario. IMHO I thought K-zoo and Hope would get a win at home, but it did not happen. Except for Trine and Adrian, the conference race is becoming more clear already after week 2, in terms of who has strength 2010!

They knew who they were playing 8 months ago. They have had plenty of time to prepare for them and as the season goes on it is not going to get any easier. This majority of this coaching staff has no place in college football. Send those guys back to Marshall, bring in a head coach who has the competence to run a football program.

I put just as much blame on Heather Bateman for destroying what little football pride Olivet had. She was a horrible basketball coach and is a biased Atheletic Director. She knew what she was doing by hiring this guy.

God Bless the NFL season!  Another day of the week which we can sit and watch football ALL day!  Everyone have a good Sunday!
