It is on Saturday.  It does not appear that it will have any coverage, but I will be going and post an update.   Thank you for asking!

The Tazon de Estrellas ("Bowl of the Stars") will be played on Saturday, December 18.  Here's a link to a press release about the game:

http://globalfootball.com/files/2010/tazonestrellas-announcement2010.pdf

This is the bowl game formerly known as the Aztec Bowl.  There is one Trine player (Jake Vance) and one Kalamazoo player (Cory McCain) representing the MIAA in this game.  Eric Watt from Trine was also invited but he's going to be a bit busy this week with Gagliardi Trophy festivities in Salem, Virginia so he had to cancel.

Unfortunately there will be no live media coverage for the event.  Uncle Rico is attending the game and will be sending updates home.  I'll try to post them when I get them.

GO TEAM STARS & STRIPES!!

You are most welcome and thank you both.  Yes, please keep us posted here.  Have a great trip and best wishes to your son for a great game and experience.

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??

You are welcome rome. Also, I think your assessments are pretty much on the mark - although I do hope Trine stays in the league as they will help everyone in bringing it back up to the next level.   Seriously, though, I don't think anyone has to worry about them leaving as they are quite happy with the MIAA, at least as far as what I know and have heard.
As far as your Olivet, I think the new staff needs at least one more season for us to make some observations.  Aslo, as there has been much previous discussion by many here on this board in the past year or so on the question you pose as to what has happened to the MIAA in the last decade, rather than reitierate that here and bore everyone to death, I can either PM you or perhaps you can scroll back several pages to find some of those postings (the latter shouldn't be so hard because we don't have anywhere near the amount of pages as the other boards do, so it shouldn't take that long! (at least not as long as some of my own posts are!   Sorry about that you guys!)

BTW, are you guys going to have any info about the upcoming "Bowl of the Stars" i.e. the former Aztec Bowl being played this Saturday?  I realize you will be involved in The Stagg Bowl broadcast and festivities, however, I was just curious if you had any plans/time for at least some updates/info on that for everyone.

I assume you are leaving for The Stagg tomorrow (or Wed at the latest)?

At the Vikings game last night - which turned out to be a miserable display of football for my Vikes who are now eliminated - I found out the the Giants LB coach, has a son going to Alma...a freshman DB from Saline, MI...just thought I'd throw that one out there...

Leaving Wednesday afternoon. We haven't heard word one from the Estrellas people (personas?) this year. I am thinking that we won't know much about this game.

Yes, I guess we'll have to wait and hear from the parents of players who are participating.  Anyway, have a safe and great trip to The Stagg.  Have a toast (egg nog,spiked, of course! ) for me and the rest of us D3fb.com posters who can't be there with all of you.

That is neat.  BTW, how was the actual attendance for the game?

The game is listed as a "paid" attendance of 45,910, about 15,000 short of capacity if memory serves.

Thanks sac.

The game will be webcast here ...  http://www.udlap.mx/tvudlap/deportivos.aspx   But you will need to brush up on your spanish. 

They also have a facebook link ...  http://www.facebook.com/#!/TazonDeEstrellas2010

That's what the announced attendance was. It was really quite the atmosphere, more like a college game than an NFL game. Lots of fun...
