Raider68:

Thanks for the well-wishes.  Congrats on your grandson - hey, you are too young for that!  Anyway, good luck to your own Mount team tomorrow, although they won't need it.   Talk to you later.

formerd3db,

Actually our other grandson Ethan just turned 3 and I was at his party as well. It will be cold on Saturday!

formerD3er,

a K+ to get you off "666" with the karma. 

Have a great trip to Alma, and I hope everyone has safe travels this weekend.

Raider68:
Yes, I am going to dress warm for tomorrow's game.  The rain here is supposed to stop by tomorrow (although it is still raining and windy tonight right now) and sunny but cold. 

ThunderHead:

Good grief - I hadn't noticed that number, which obviously scares me. So thanks very much!

Thanks also for the well-wishes for our Alma trip.  Best wishes to you wherever you are going as well and also I join you in wishing everyone else the same.  As Raider68 suggested, everyone should dress warm!

You posted at nearly 11 pm, yet it is 'sunny'?!  Can I have some of what you are drinking?!

I came back in for the weekend from my fall 'camping odyssey', having endured four consecutive days of rain.  I'll be going back out Sunday - supposed to be much better.

Doesn't that one word seem to sum up weather in the Great Lakes region?

Yep!  My campground is halfway between East Lansing and Ann Arbor.  I listen to both WKAR (EL) and WUOM (AA) - this fall it is sometimes raining when both stations are reporting sunny skies!   Though in fairness, the reverse has also happened - sunshine when both report rain.

So far, the fall SUCKS.  But I'm an optimist - October WILL(?) be lovely!

Game one at NY rained out (though a 'suspended' game, so will resume at 1-1 in the middle of the second).  Sunday will be both Lions and Tigers, though they haven't said the time of the Tigers game (as far as I've heard), so don't know if it will be a channel changer or a marathon.

It is FREEZING here in Alma today!

Halftime Trine 0. Adrian 20

[ForeverFootball]

Start of fourth quarter trine 7 Adrian 20

[TUAngola]

Final: Adrian 26 Trine 7.  The streak is over folks!  Congrats to Adrian first off.  Better team won today.  I should say the team with the best quarterback won.  Hargraves was...umm...pathetic.  I counted 5 turnovers, 4 picks and 1 fumble.  Kept waiting for Coach Land to make a change, never happened.  We needed a spark...nothing.  Adrian is solid.  Impressive defense, opportunistic offense.  They aren't going to "wow" you.  Trine D actually played pretty well.  Adrian's big plays were "jump balls" to a 6'4" receiver over our 5'8" D back.  All 3 of Adrian's receivers are good though.  They had short fields b/c of all our mistakes and Hargraves ineptness.

I wish Coach Land would have put Blackport in.  Give him a series or two, see if he could get the team going.  I mean last night BYU needed a spark because their starting QB just wasn't getting it done.  And it worked out as they came back to win.

Another huge crowd at Trine...had to be 5000+.  Adrian had a good contingent too.  Again, congrats to Adrian, well done!!

[ForeverFootball]

It was an amazing game. Nice job Bulldogs!

[sflzman]

On the flipside, we had an ugly game up here. I don't think Alma or Hope would be satisfied with how they played, 5 fumbles, and 2 interceptions total.

The officiating here was AWFUL to say the least.

Hats of to Shawn Jackson though, he played amazing for Hope. 156 rushing yards to go along with 5 TD's. Without seeing stats from the rest of the league, I'd say he has a high chance at player of the week.

Hopewatcher: formerd3db and I missed you at halftime.....maybe some other time, I guess.

You mentioned that the better qback won but I think the better defense won,

You mentioned that the better qback won but I think the better defense won,

Both defenses were very good today.  Adrian's D got better pressure on the QB than Trine's though and of course we all know about the turnovers.  The picks that Adrian had were gimmees too.  Just not enough zip on the ball from Hargraves.  Trine's D actually held Adrian to a little over 200 yds and only 10 first downs, which should keep you in the game, and it did to a certain extent.  After Trine scored to get the game to 20-7 early in 4th, we forced Adrian to a 3 and out, the home crowd was pumped.  But, very first play...int.  Momentum back to Adrian...ballgame.  Just a bad read by Hargraves, never saw the LB roll in front of intended receiver.  You can't give an opposing offense so many short fields and expect to win and Adrian took advantage of it like a good team should.  Yes defensively Adrian played lights out, but Hargraves made them look good too.
