[Mr. Ypsi]

Pickems results for the week are up.

Next week's slate sometime tomorrow.

Looks to be a very interesting first week this week to start conference play.  Anyone have insight on Kalamazoo and if they can put up the same kind of offensive numbers against Adrian? 

[Mr. Ypsi]

A heart-breaker at Comerica this afternoon.  Tied 1-1 after 9, the Twinkies got 2 in the top of the 10th.  The Tigers got one back in the bottom of the inning, but lost 3-2.

In the nightcap, so far Justin is being Justin - 1 hit, no runs in three innings (he struck out the side in the second).  The Tigers have a HR from Cabrera, but otherwise the offense has not yet shown up.  1-0, middle of the third.

as promised, the Trine vs Franklin game proved to be pretty amazing.  I didnt get to go to the game and I still havnt gotten to listen to the webcast, but I did get to recieve text message updates from friends who had the info.  what an exciting way to enjoy a football game...not!

I cant wait for MIAA football action this weekend!!

Mr. Ypsi:

Here are my picks for this upcoming weekend, October 3rd:


Adrian @ Kazoo - Adrian

Olivet @ Albion - Albion

Hope @ Trine - Hope

Alma has a bye

[BOYA87]

Adrian 31 K zoo 17

Albion 21 Olivet 7

Trine 35 Hope 24

[Mr. Ypsi]

Final from Comerica: Tigers 7, Twins 2!

Up by three with four to go - I like our chances!

(I hope we clinch before Sunday, so Verlander isn't needed and can rest up for the Yankees.)

Make that up by two with three to go.  And I'll remind you of my Reds in 1999, when they were up 3 with 3 to go and ended up losing to the Mets in the 1-game playoff.

Yeah, I'm not counting the chickens just yet, but better 2 up than 2 down!

Plus, the Twins still have to face Greinke (who owes us after beating the Tigers so many times!).

Has anyone seen the extended forecast for Saturday's games?  Just curious.

Also, for you Trine guys, I will be at the game on Saturday with our Hope team and perhaps might have a chance to meet some of you at halftime, if my official team duties don't consume me.  I think it will be a good game and I'm also looking forward to seeing Trine's new stadium and synthetic turf.  Last time we were there it was a "mud-bowl".

Is Hope the best winless team in the nation right now?

It sure seems that way looking at their opponents and the scores, this coming from a totally unbiased point of view. 

Well, I was friends with Hope alum Pepper Geiersbach back in High School.

I'm not a Hope guy, per se, but if there's a better winless team, I have no idea who it would be.

But I'm sure the Hope fans would regard that as equivalent to 'world's tallest midget', and prefer some wins!

This Saturday in Angola is a tough way to try to start, but I think Hope will still finish 5-5 (at worst, 4-6).

After watching them give Wheaton all they could handle, I was very impressed with them.  Way better than an 0-4 record would indicate.

Former,

The forecast for tomorrow in Angola looks like rain and in the 50's.  The new turf is nice and they just added lights to the field so night games will be a possibility in the future.  Hope is always a tough team to play in the miaa after their brutal non-conference schedule.  It would be nice to see a rainless day so that both offenses to run their entire playbook but that could be wishful thinking.  But like always it should be a pretty darn good game

[Mr. Ypsi]

Any speculation on whether rain will hamper one team more than the other in any of the MIAA games?  I'd especially welcome any insights on Hope/Trine.
