Doing well ... fighting a hamstring problem that is interferring with my running.  Being 70 I guess things start to happen.  Looking forward to seeing the new field at Hope ... maybe for the home opener against North Park.

We started incorporating backwards running as part of our cool down with the track team I coach. You don't have to do alot we did 30 yards/six times using the football field. It might help.

Thanks.  I'll try that.

formerd3db,

Congrats on reaching 900+k!

[formerd3db]

Thanks Raider68.  You are getting up there yourself.  Perhaps you'll catch up with Pat, Ralph Turner, G Sager and many others!   Maybe that just means we have been around here on these boards a long time!

And then there are those of us who made the mistake of getting on the Politics board (as virtually the lone liberal) and losing 3-400 points!

Using my best Marlon Brando voice (as Terry in On The Waterfront): I coulda been a contender.

Yes, Mr. Ypsi, my good friend, you have more courage than me in that regard. :  I was going to include you in that short list, but I remembered you had ventured into that arena you are talking about!    I guess that comes from my college "denfensive background".    Anyway, +k for you!

The political board is  brutal, kudos to those who post! I do like reading through some of the topics, but not likely to post regularly over there-yet. I may change my mind as the election nears. Hey former-how's your summer been so far?

formerd3db,

Thanks for that! Your contribution to "all" the boards make others want to enter the discussions!

Wow...OC seems to be in a downward spiral....

Olivet College (D-III - MI): Defensive coordinator Tim Rogers has accepted the head coaching position at Forest Hills Central HS (MI). Rogers, who accepted the position at Olivet in early January, previously served as the head coach at Grand Rapids Catholic Central HS (MI).

That may be good news for the Rangers ... FHC is our kids high school alma mater.  But your are right ... a real concern for Olivet College's football program.  The Comets are among my sentimental favorites ... hoping the Red and Black gets it together.

[sflzman]

Wow.  Nothing seems to want to go Olivet's way does it...

[formerd3db]

Thanks again Raider - you guys are most kind - thanks.  Yet, again, I also think that you've all contributed to this upward and improved discussion forum we've had here in the past couple of years. 

Newcard- my summer is going fine so far, I hope yours is also.  I have a week of vacaation coming up this Wednesday, so am looking forward to that, although as I'm sure you and our other friends here can attest to the fact that when you return from a vacation, it always seems like you never left and the work is piled on more.  I know it will be like that for me, but...one just has to get away every once in a while.

Wow, indeed i.e. rome's report about Rogers having left Olivet without having coached a game.  I agree with all of you that it is not good for Olivet.  Without intending to "bash" Rogers since I obviously do not know what his personal situation and reasons for this move is, at the same time, it doesn't surprise me in regards to his "track record" before (and much of that has been discussed in the past not only here but by others over on other boards in regards to his DePauw departure several years ago and other coaching stops, etc., etc.).  I thought it was somewhat strange he was hired by Olivet's new coach in the first place.  At the same time, if he still lives in Grand Rapids, that would have been one long commute and perhaps that was one of the reasons he changed his mind.  Still, I find it strange and difficult in one decided to take a job and then shortly thereafter, resigning and going in the other direction.  Not sure of the commitment there.  The h.s. job opportunity must have been too good a deal to turn down, but...each person has to make their own decisions.  Too bad for Olivet, then again, perhaps that is actually good. You need people who really want to be at your place.
