I see that Adrian picked up UW-Whitewater for the 1st game of the season. This will be an interesting match-up and a good test to see where the program is at after all the changes that have been made since last season.

I give Adrian and their staff credit for wanting to play one of the top programs. I think it is a win/win for Adrian!

I'll be rooting for Adrian to make enough of a game of it to benefit, but I fear it could get very ugly very quickly.  IWU finished #9 in the final poll, yet was destroyed by UWW, 45-7, in the second round of the tourney.  (I honestly thought the Titans could give them a solid challenge - I was wrong. )

But I agree - props to Adrian for guts!

Don't think it will be a close game either, but what Adrian as a team and coaches learn from preparing and playing a top team will help them in the MIAA conference!

I work with a guy that has strong ties to UWW and he's saying that UWW will not be the same team this fall that they were in 2009.  Too many seniors are leaving that were instrumental in their positions.  They should continue to be competitive but probably not at the same level as last year.  Hopefully Adrian will put up a good fight.

Trine is playing UW River Falls and LaGrange this fall - new match-ups for Trine.

I have been keeping an eye on UWW, and 2010 will be a interesting season for them for the reasons you mentioned. They will be more running oriented with Coppage and a new QB. I hope Adrian will be competitive and think Trine will be.

I suspect Trine will make a good run next year and into the playoffs with the QB RB TE and some wr's returning to lead that great offense of theirs and as well as a few of the playmakers they have on defense but my heart is still with my Adrian Bulldog family despite my feelings towards the administration there.

Another school with an administration problem? Another Capital? What is it will these D3 administrators?

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Wedge blocks and eye black with messages will be banned in college football next season. And taunting penalties could cost teams points in 2011.

All three measures were approved by the NCAA on Thursday.
The organization's rules panel followed the NFL's lead by barring wedge blocks on kickoffs for safety reasons. Infractions will result in a 15-yard penalty from the spot of the foul or from the spot the kick returner was tackled if he is behind where the foul took place.

Beginning in 2011, the committee approved another proposal that will disallow touchdowns for taunting, if the foul occurs before the player scores.

Saw the article, the new rules make sense!

Former 3db,

themselves well!

Let it Rain-

I don't know....looks like Wisc. Whitewater might not be the same, but if I want any returners back I want the Oline, All-American RB and All time WR leader back...don't forget the rumors that Adrian lost three of four Dline starters from last year - they either transferred or graduated.

The 2010 Warhawks return seven starters on defense and five offense. Sixteen more players that were listed on UW-W's two-deep are also back. Among the players returning are All-American running back Levell Coppage (2,107 yards, 35 TD's), four of the five offensive linemen including All-American guard Matt Weber, and wide receiver Aaron Rusch, UW-W's career reception leader.

I'm only going by what my co-worker told me.  He's a UWW graduate and follows their program very closely.

UWW will present a strong challenge for their opponents this fall as well, but I like that Adrian wants to see how they do. UWW will have players ready to move up, but it may take them a few games to get there. Playing them early in the season is a good opportunity!

What is Adrian bringing back this fall and how do they match up against Trine?

Here is Adrian's 2010 roster (as of now). McGee will be back at QB which is a plus for the team. Adrian has had a strong defense over the last few seasons and I dont see that changing anytime soon. I think the Trine/Adrian game will be a fun one to watch this year as always and will be a great way to start MIAA play this year for the Dawgs.
