Teams start football practice in the leisurely summer too, so you both are happy! :)

Alma has been a 5-5 team for the past 3-4 years, is this the year they improve on that record? They face Heidleberg at home for the first game, can they win this? :-\

If Alma can find a couple players to get their "Scot Gun" offense rolling and step it up a little on defense they have a good chance to finish above .500.  McGrady will be tough to replace at quarterback, so I think the key to Alma next year is how well his replacement does.

Heidelberg will be a real test, since Coach Hallett has made great progress in the past few years to upgrade the program!

I haven't forgotten about you guys!  Alot has been going on in my life recently both with work and family as well as that I have been out-of-town for about 10 days recently.  Thanks to you Raider68 and all our other friends here who have been keeping our MIAA board going (even though you are an OAC poster first! :)).

I'll post more in the near future, although will be gone another week for "one last vacation hurrah" for the summer before football starts.

Anyway, I wish you and everyone here a blessed, safe and enjoyable 4th of July holiday with your families.

Best,
Formerd3db

P.S.  BTW, thanks to Uncle Ric for the webcam links he posted regarding Trine's new football stadium improvements.  Looks great.

Ziggy, why doesn't Calvin have a football program?  Has it ever been considered?  It looks like their enrollment is over 2-3x that the other MIAA schools.  I understand their track program is very good.  Just curious.  



Uncle Rico:

That is a long story (and sore point with some of our Calvin colleagues over on the basketball board ;D ::)).  We had a very extensive discussion about this last year on these boards so rather than revisit that here and stir up "old feelings" so to speak, if you would like to discuss this off-line on the personal message board, I will be glad to fill you in.   I know much about this from the front line sources.  Hope you are doing well and again, have a great 4th of July weekend.

Just off hand without knowing the particulars of their recruiting class, I have to agree with you Diezel.  I envision them being as you say, unless they've really got some high talented recruits who can step right in as well as some of their letterman stepping up to take them back to the higher tier they were in 3-4 years ago and just before that.  They have that potential of exploding on anyone in both non-conference and in the MIAA, yet the last couple of years have sputtered at key opportune times -being varying in consistency as you noted about their record.  However, they are still a scary team to play anytime, IMO.

I see that Trine has a Thursday evening game at home against Manchester. Early non-Saturday starting games trend seems to growing! :-\
