Well, unfortunately, the "ax just dropped" on DIII'er Josh McDaniels as the Denver Broncos owner fired him as head coach - breaking news just now on Comcast and other sports outlets.

Broncos interim coach Eric Studesville is a UW-Whitewater graduate (1988)!!

I had forgotten that.  Hopefully, he can do some turnaround to some extent for the rest of the season.  Too bad for McDaniels, although I think he'll probably resurface again somewhere as a head coach perhaps at the college level if he desires to return to those ranks.  Then again, after being in the NFL for the past few years, he may desire to continue on there in some capacity as an assistant.  We'll see what happens for both Studesville and McDaniels.  Thanks for the update Bobo.

Flipped over to WJR on the ride to work this morning and heard that Adrian won a game in the Big House last weekend.

Yes, it was hockey.  No, it wasn't against the Wolverines.

Congrats to the Bulldogs on the win in the first ever D-III outdoor hockey game!

Here is a question for the MIAA experts:  

While the season is still fresh in everyone's minds,

1. What does it look like by team for 2011, in terms of returning players?

2. Whose schedules pose challenges (non-conference)

3. Any coaching changes for 2011?

4. Will Trine lead the MIAA again?

5. Will there be another schools vying for the title?

6. Who will land the best recruits?

7. Will Trine end the year in the D3 Top 10?

Special Congrats to all the MIAA players who made the All-Region team and Trine HC MATT Land, great job!

[bleedpurple]

Trine deserves far more respect nationally than they get.  Coach Land is doing an EXCELLENT JOB.  In spite of some rather LOUD posters in the South Region, Trine would give Wesley everything they can handle!

Formerd3db,

Did you catch either game today?

[formerd3db]

Raider68:

No, unfortunately, I didn't.  We had our annual Christmas get-together with some friends, so we were out-of-town.  Got back awhile ago, so I just now saw the scores.  As a result of that, I also missed the Heisman presentation this evening, although that doesn't bother me this year - the outcome was not in doubt and, despite what a great player Newton is, he, unfortunately, has not been the best role model throughout his college career.

Anyway, good luck to your Mount next week in the Stagg Bowl.  I think it will be a good game.

thank you for the love d3db

have not really followed this season...all i know is this

Kzoo is running tony franklin system and actually looking like a college team

scot gun was down this year but the fans are still wild

albion is not the albion I knew under coach pete

adrian--they have everything they need to win in this conference...when will it happen?
heck they have a british coach--very cool

olivet...I don't get, I just don't get it there....

hope...historically very strong--kerps knows his stuff....no idea what they are now

trine... are they looking to go to another league? they have kicked the door down and if the michigan teams can't show some life...trine may have to go to another conference to take the next step


Question: What happen to this conference--early/mid 90s this was a solid conference and now I look at scores and it looks ugly

any insight??

Young grasshopper, you will learn the mystery when you hit 200 posts, and 'applaud' and 'smite' buttons suddenly appear on your orbiter.

LIR and Uncle Rico:

Did your son and the others play in that All-Star game?  I guess I must have missed seeing any articles/media coverage on it here or elsewhere, but I was curious.  I hope it was a great experience.  Or is that coming up now?
