Roll Call,

Pretty much going to be watching football from tonight until Sunday night...and then more football on Monday night!  Oh thank God football season is here!

I will be at the Trine game on Saturday.  forcast calls for high of 77 so it should warm up a little bit for us this weekend.  About a 40% chance of rain right now although when you play Trine there are always severe thunderstorms!!!

Looking forward to how Trine rebounds from that poor performance against Manchester.  Talked to a couple players passing through campus this week and it was easy to see that they werent satisfied with their performance and expect soo much more from themselves so I will be excited to see what they bring to the table.

I wont make it to Ann Arbor but I am sure my roommate and I will have a very heated viewing of the game from the couch...I am ND and he is UM...GO ND!!!!

sflzman,

What are thoughts regarding the Scots against IWU?

Honestly, we might have a chance, but I still like IWU in this one. Hopefully my Scots can prove me wrong, but they havent been able to beat IWU in the past, so until they do, I gotta go with the Titans. BUT don't be surprised if the Scots take IWU late into the game, and have a chance to win. This is the best team in the post-Josh Brehm era.

Roll Call check-in

Friday: Volleyball in Art Smith Arena. Alma hosts Adrian in what will probably be over in straight set fashion.

Saturday: IWU @ Alma - upset alert Mr Ypsi!  then off to Scotland Yard for women's soccer

Sunday: Wood bat fall high school baseball (as much as I love football, I'm a baseball guy at heart) then hopefully to see my Vikings lose their season opener.

Running a 5k cross-country race Saturday morning and then probably will head down to Holland to see the Hope - Wisconsin Lutheran game.  We'll see if (a) Hope can regroup after last Saturday or (b) it is going to be a long season for the Flying Dutch.

DBQ1965,

If you are "running in" the race , good luck and go for the win! If you are "running it" then, hope everyone does well. Either way well done!

DBQ1985:

If you end up going to the game, perhaps we can visit for a bit sometime either before the game or the half.  It would be nice to meet you. I could meet you at the top of the stairs leading to the field (over by the scoreboard) when we are going onto the field. 

Yes, also, I join Raider68 in wishing good luck in the run.

Calvin might be getting serious about thinking about adding football.......further discussions on the men's basketball board.

That gives me pause to think ... football from Friday night to Sunday night?  We just celebrated our 44th wedding anniversary and my wife jokes that the next time she gets married, it won't be at the beginning of football season!

roll call:  fri- down to GR area    sat: head down to manchester, should have a better idea how season will look.  sun: back from GRarea to alma to see our daughter, then back home. looks like another 700+ mile weekend. have to admit tho, i'll miss it next year. everyone have a safe & fun weekend.

[formerd3db]

kzoodad:

I have now found someone who is crazier than me with that type of long-distance driving.  I call those my "blast trips", you know..."blast out there and then blast back"!   For me, however, driving is my way of relaxing and de-stressing - a lot of time for thought and reflection.  My drive to Hope and back is about 1 1/2 hours one way.  Anyway, good luck to your Kazoo and also I hope your weekend is enjoyable.  Drive safe.

I usually sit on the visitors side on the top row as close to the 50 as I can get.  I will be wearing my blue UD cap.  If we don't meet up before the game, at half-time I will stroll over to those stairs by the scoreboard. 

Looking forward to a good afternoon of football.

Sounds good to me.  Looking forward to meeting you and yes, hopefully it will be a good game.  I also hope the weather remains good.

Well, unfortunately I missed the meet up with formerd3db and Mr Ypsi, but I did want to throw out this because I know how we had talked how volleyball draws more than basketball here.

Last nights match against Adrian (who isn't even any good) drew 546 people :O

[formerd3db]

sflzman:

Yes, you missed an enjoyable time, understandably because of your other commitment.  You would have enjoyed the brats cooked over the fire at the campground, overlooking a nice lake with wildlife and beautiful sunset, along with great conversation about DIII football, football in the MIAA/CCIW and the other leagues, and their other sports, etc., etc.  It is always great to meet fellow posters in person as many of our other colleagues will attest to.

The volleyball game attendance was pretty good then.  I know Hope's volleyball crowds have been quite large.  Anyway, I told Mr. Ypsi that he should have you give him a quick tour of the new arena, trophy/awards and Hall of Fame area today after the game if he/you have the time and/or he should at least do that on his own.  Hopefully, the weather will clear as far as the potential rain is concerned.  Both of you will have to give us your assessment then of IWU after the game as depending on the outcome, it will give us some further indication of how Alma and Hope might fair this season as they will both have played this common opponent.  Enjoy the day.  I'll look forward to meeting you for the Oct. 1st game when Hope invades Balhke.
