Well, I thought we might have had a chance, but when we were on Adrian's 1 yard line (it that or near there - my memory is a little cloudy without looking at the stat/replay sheet right now) with the score only 14-7, less than two minutes left in the 2nd quarter before the half and we can't score, then I knew we were in trouble.  You can't expect to win when you can't make the plays.  Then Adrian comes right out on the opening drive of the 2nd half and scors, so we were down 21-7; when they scored again, any visions of a potential comeback went down the drain because Hope could do nothing thereafer. So other than the nice weather as you mentioned was at your game as well, it was not a very fun day for us Hope people.  

Also, wow, 6500+ for the Mount/B-W game - that is great!   I mentioned this a week back or so on another board, but were it not for us having our last regular season game next week, I would love to go down to the Monon Bell game.  Perhaps some year, I can (perhaps in some weird year where our "bye" week falls on the last game of the season and we are done early, although I doubt the schedules would ever be that way).

Anyway, indeed, "The Helmet Club" is growing and that is neat.  With you as our "President", it can only get better.  Perhaps some of our other colleagues on both boards will do more helmets, although the college logos are neat as well.  "To each his own" as that saying goes, but I like the helmets!

P.S. Congrats on your 300th +k. Also, "Eureka" (and I'm not referring to that college ) - we've finally made page 300 here on the MIAA board!  We'll never catch the other boards, but at least we are not in last place!

RichRod may have dodged the bullet today, but Glen Robinson is toast.  If Rodriguez didn't already plan to change the DC, I'd suspect that might be a condition of his continued employment!

BTW, MIAA Pickems results and the final slate are now up.

I was there, at halftime my brother turned to me and said he felt like he had watched a whole ballgame already.  It was 31-31.  I've re-watched it twice(I fast-forward through the Michigan defense, because seriously whats the point) and I still can't believe all the great plays.

Also Glen Robinson is a former Purdue basketball player....Greg Robinson is the Michigan DC.

I think the thing I was most impressed with in Trine's win over Kzoo yesterday was the way the team executed in the first half.  I know coaches always say you take them one at a time and the next opponent is always the toughest and so on.  But, I don't think that anyone on Trine's team really thought that Kzoo would beat them.  That is a dangerous thing.  It is a tribute to the coaches and the team itself, and it is consistent with the way this team has approached each game that the Thunder came out firing on all cylinders on offense and defense in the first half.  Trine made it clear from the very first series that there would be no upset in Kzoo this year!  With that kind of focus and execution next week and beyond who knows how long this season might last!!!

OOPS!   I knew it was Greg, but typed Glen anyway!

[formerd3db]

I was going to mention that too, but I figured that Mr. Ypsi knew it also, despite having typed in the wrong first name (I've done the same thing by mistake in the past when trying to post too quickly and not proof-reading my comments and then not getting back to "modify" the mistake).  Anyway, Mr. Ypsi is not unfamiliar with Michigan (and Eastern Michigan) football by any means.  So you are forgiven, Mr. Ypsi!

TrineDad:

Indeed, that is a dangerous attitude to have.  As good as your Trine team is, and should (will probably) beat Albion, they dare not take that same attitude into the game because Albion will jam them good and pull the upset.  Historically, Albion is very (is always) capable of doing that and can be very dangerous regardless of how they have played during a season. I don't mean that as any disrespect to your Trine team.  It's just that playing Albion is always a tough task no matter what the situation has been.  On the other hand, the home field advantage for Trine with a huge crowd I expect will be a major advantage for Trine.  It could be a good game, although it could also just as easily end up in a blowout if Albion is "shellshocked early", although regardless, I expect that Trine will win.

TrineDad:

You are welcome and indeed, it does.  I also agree that it will be interesting to see how the final selections play out this Saturday.  The good news, at least for here in Michigan and the Midwest is that the projected weather forecast for Saturday is supposed to again be extremely nice for this time of year - sunny with some slight clouds and slight chill but with temps in the high 50's.  It should be comfortable when the sun is out, as long as the wind stays down.  That will be great, although as we all know, those predicted weather reports could very well change by game time on Saturday.  However, I hope not!
