Bobby Knight spoke at last years commencement.

The great Herman Boone spoke at Alma College on Saturday night. It was a great speech, but was relatively low in attendence because it was publisized so poorly...

Shame on you!

Uncle Rico:
I sense you say that with "tongue in cheek"!   Pat does have a point - Holtz is sometimes too weird in his analysis IMO!   Also, I must admit that Lou Holtz is not one of my favorite college football coaches.  I lost a lot of respect for him a long time ago (and that goes back to his days at Minnesota).  However, I will admit that I enjoy when he and Mark May go at it on ESPN's College Football shows!  I believe those guys deep down don't like each other and they rarely agree.  Reese Davis (who used to be the sports anchor for my original hometown's (Flint, MI) TV station right before he made it to the "big time" at ESPN, has to keep those two in line i.e. be the referee.

My dad actualy played for lou holtz at Minnesota. So don't talk bad about my gophers or there coach. And remember, this year the jug is coming back to it's rightful place in Minneapolis.

No disrespect intended toward your dad or the Univ. of Minnesota. Neat that he played there.  Also, I like the history of their football program.  Yet, I can tell you that Lou Holtz was very disingenuous (and that's saying/putting it nicely - diplomatically) when he was there in his dealings with their former team physician (an orthopedic surgeon).  His antics in regards to that were well documented in a previoulsy published book during his ND tenure.  As I mentioned, after reading about that (and, of course, how he left Minnesota in the dirt in bolting for ND - yes, I know he had that as a clause in his contract), I lost a lot of respect for him.  Anyway, indeed, we'll have to see where the jug ends up this year.  As I am a Michigan fan (since my father was a grad from there for both undergrad and his masters and we followed Michigan football since childhood), I think it will stay in the possession of Michigan!   Perhaps we'll have to have a friendly wager over that (and the Alma/Hope game too!) for some donuts and cider!

I live life with two rules

1. Never question a woman's judgement
2. Never bet on Minnesota. We do the unthinkable. I remember the tex tech bowl game a few years ago where we set the record for largest lead ever blown in a bowl game...it's terrible to be a gophers fan. This bball season there was legit elite eight chances, but Joseph transfers and nolen breaks a foot and now we re losing to Indiana and Penn state

Any updated recruiting news for the MIAA teams?

You can have the jug.  We'll be holding on to the axe.

I saw the greatest t shirt ever at the big ten bball tourney last spring... It said FUC(and then had an outline of the state minnesota) WISCONSIN

But forget the axe I want the slab of bacon

[sflzman]

We shoulda had it in camp Randall in 09 but blew it...

[sflzman]

I'm not saying that of which the t shirts said. Just thought they were funny...I legitly hate the badgers though more than anything else

I see a couple 2011 Football schedules have come out.

Looking at Albion's schedule, the Brits have a tough schedule on the books.

@ Butler
@ Wheaton
H  Wisconsin Stevens Point
@ Kalamazoo
H  Alma
@ Hope
H Olivet
@ Adrian
@ Depauw
H Trine 

Tough schedule and many of the tough games on the road.
IF Albion has a solid record they will be ready for a hopeful league deciding game at Home vs Trine last week of the year.
