Great history lession/review there, sac!  That same year, Yost's Univ. of Michigan team smashed Albion of our MIAA 76-0!  (Albion also played Michigan's frosh team, although they fared much better against the younger i.e. first year Michigan players as Albion tied them 0-0.  A great morale booster for Albion, who also beat Michigan State that year 6-5.  Anyway, thanks for the great "return to yesteryear" story!

Ok, ok...I know it is "technically" Michigan's jug, and they "technically" have a slim majority () of the wins, but I'd still like to think of it as ours...

Hopefully this new coach can bring it back to the 3/4 empty rivalry trpphy case...

3 of the longest running rivalries in the MIAA all involve Albion.  They're kind of the linchpin on MIAA sports history.  


Albion vs Olivet  1884  110 games
Albion vs Kzoo   1896  125 games
Albion vs Alma   1900  109 games

according to this, Olivet and Kzoo played football in 1892, they've played 101 times,

Thanks, Albion beat Mount Union in the 1994 Quarterfinals 34-33 and went on the win the National title that year!

Maybe they will challenge Trine this year!

[sflzman]

Alma first met Kalamzoo in 1895, and this seasons matchup at Alma celebrated the series's 100th meeting...

[sflzman]

Alright let's keep up the talk about something at least...

The killer snowstorm, next year's MIAA football race...anything!

Will Olivet win a league game this season? Any game at all?

Will Trine lose a regular season game?

Who will finish highest of the "A" schools, probably 2nd, 3rd, and 4th respectively in the league this season...

How bout those Big Ten division names?

How bout those Big Ten division names? 

I think they are legendary and keeping them despite public outcry shows a lack of leadership

[sac]

They say we got 12" here in Lansing at the airport, and I'm close enough to the airport where I guess I have to count it as truth.

I live up against a woods with a smallish valley type thing going on so my backyard shows almost no affects from the snow being out of the wind.  I only counted 8" on the table I cleared before the snow.  I supposed its possible some of that blew away.

The front yard and our neighborhood facing North into the wind is a comical nightmare.  I'm betting it will be Friday before we see a snowplow.  Everyone's driveway and sidewalks are cleared tonight, but no one can get down the street to go anywhere.

... my Lansing State Journal arrived during the height of the storm and was waiting for me this morning, bless them.

I would normally give a +k for the pun, but that one - no offense - was flat-out terrible, and not punny at all...

Thank god for mailmen and newspaper deliverers!

I think Newman must be my mailman because they didn't deliver today.

Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow....its the THIRD one!!!
