I hate Michigan, but I was yelling at my TV when Morris missed the shot and Novak was WIDE OPEN for 3 at the top.....

sflzman,

Although I am a strong Buckeye supporter, have ties to OSU, I always hope the Big 10 does well against the other conferences. Not a real Wisconsin fan either, but hope they come out on top vs. Butler.

Maybe the some warmer weather will bring out the posters! Spring drills, the footballs should be out everywhere.

Raider68:

With your "warmer weather" comment, I am totally blaming you for the 5 inches that's droped on us today.....

And also, I am with u on the cheering for big ten teams, but I draw the line at Wisconsin. I hate Wisconsin with passion. Michigan I can root for. Iowa I can want to win. Wisconsin I can't stand. They just rub me the wrong way. Everything about badgers...but I'm not getting into this whole Wisconsin thing again....

Well, in Alma, we've only had like 5 days without snow on the ground, and the team hasn't begun any spring workouts to my knowledge...

We all need some warmer temperatures!

This last snow has thrown all of Spring in general out of whack....

Winter's attempt to stay around does not help the new field construction timing for a few MIAA schools! $:-\$

Between Kzoo's and Albion's full renovations and Alma's turf and video board the (along with Trine's renovations last season) the MIAA football stadiums are going to be pretty shiny new....

Not to mention the football stadiums at Adrian and Olivet that are very nice....

I agree! I believe that all 10 of Olivet's regular season football games in 2011 will be played on artificial surface! That might be even a bigger surprise to some when they see that only four of the 10 games will be played on the home turf.

I don't think this latest bit of winter has any affect. I believe that Albion and Kalamazoo weren't going to start their work until after school is done in May.

Alma plays 8/9 on turf this season. The only one that is on grass is the one at Rockford....that field is terrible and can get to be quite the mudbath. Good thing we play there week 2.....

Raider 68 · March 26, 2011, 08:33:53 AM

sflzman.

Hearing that warmer temps are on the way. Maybe in time for spring drills!
Maybe not!

DBQ1965 · March 27, 2011, 10:26:30 PM

Word is that Olivet plays IIAC foe Cornell College on September 3, 2011.

Any other MIAA non-conference schedules out?

sflzman · March 27, 2011, 11:09:24 PM

If u go to page 345 they are on there. It isba for sure that alma does not play Hanover. They as of now only have 9 games. Having trouble finding NCAA teams that have openings (north central did but our coaches didn't want to play them) and D2 teams won't come here and NAIA schools won't play us...maybe this tells coach leister that throwing fades when you're up by 40 in the 4th isn't a good thing.
