To formerd3db, newcardfan, and anyone else intending to meet up with me in Holland in September:

While IWU@Hope is definitely on my calendar, it is looking more and more likely I will be out west on that date.

Not a done deal (either way), but just a heads up.  I'd love to be there (and might still be), but family comes first, and (alas) I am the ONLY d3 fan in the family.

It is now definite: I will be in the Black Hills of South Dakota on the 23rd of September.  I HATE missing an IWU game in Michigan, but it was the only vacation we could squeeze into a hectic summer/fall schedule.  (I usually spend at least a month at Bruin Lake in my RV; it will never leave the garage this year! )

sflzman whoa now buddy I think you need to do the rereading Did i miss the private club thing on here or something my bad jeez and i know what former is trying to say bud

[hopewatcher]

haha wow, the wooshing sound you hear thats the sound of this going over your head

Not to try to step in and fight formers fights because I know for a fact he can fight them himself. But as a fellow poster, as this is a person I respect a lot inside and outside of this board I feel the need to voice my opinion.

Do you not realize how incredibly stupid and ignorant you're sounding? Going over HIS head? Take a step back and re read everything that he has posted. You're ridiculously blinded by your own anger for whatever the reason is and you're not even making sense of this. Don't come on here and start bashing a WIAC poster just because his qb decided he was better than trine and don't sit and bash former because you are failing to comprehend the conversation that is going on here. Wake up. Step back. Cool your jets. And admit that you're in the wrong here.

I could not agree more! +k (if I could)

Amen brother!!

ThunderStorm_3peat and wisd3fan - both of you need to simply LET IT GO!!! 

How about we have some discussion of everyones thoughts about the games tomorrow?  Looks like perfect football weather.  Wish I was making the trip to CUC to watch the Dutchmen, but other commitments are preventing that.  Guess I'll have to rely on some eyewitness accounts.

[DBQ1965]

Big loss for the Flying Dutch.

[Flying Dutchman56]

A couple more tough personnel losses as well for tomorrow.....at least they are not season ending like Jackson's (Tough break for a senior, but I believe he can medical redshirt this year still if he chooses).  I think the cut off is 3 games???

So it's a good chance for other's to step up and rise to the occasion!

The ugly results, one to go tonight

Rockford, Ill. 28, Olivet 12
Concordia, Ill. 63, Hope 47
Aurora, Ill., 24, Alma 21
Adrian 31, Wisconsin Lutheran 23
Concordia, Wis. 13, Trine 10
Kalamazoo 31, Lakeland, Wis. 24

[sac]

Benedictine, Ill. 32, Albion 28

w/some esplainin' from a regular poster

Albion's starting QB got knocked out of the game. The Britons went through two backups, both freshmen, who were in waaaay over their heads. The first one muffed a shotgun snap at his goal line and had to fall on the ball in the end zone for a safety. Borsellino ran back the ensuing free kick for a TD. Thus, a 28-23 Albion lead in the fourth quarter became a 32-28 Benedictine win.

[wisd3fan2]

Well we got 4 out of 7 predictions right. Albion lost their Qb so that explains that wrong prediction.
Your second Qb should be getting more reps in practice than your starter unless your starter is young. Not giving your second Qb enough reps is old school. Huge coaching error. Its 2012, All teams need 2 QB's ready to start. If your a second Qb and are not getting at least half the reps get out of that school FAST!! Killed Albion! Rockford is dead last in our D3 rankings so enough said about the Olivet game! The Trine game is where we were just dead wrong. Concordia Wi is ranked 203rd in our rankings. I'm shocked about how far Trine has fallen. Their Offense has lost all their fire. They have a lot of work to do there!!                    UWW loses, WHAT?? The polls have them at #1 and we knew that was wrong but not that wrong!! Anyone see Mich State, WHAT?? And then theres the Wisconsin Badgers, Totally SHOCKING!!!!

[Uncle Rico]

I listed to part of the Trine game on line.  Ouch.  Don't know what else to say.  I have not been able to see them play yet this year, and my inside sources are no longer inside.  140 yards total offense.  Hope that the coaches and players can step it up a notch or two or three for the start of conference play.  If these games serve as a learning experience going in to the MIAA then at least some good will have come from it.   It appears that statistically at least the defense has not done too bad, but need some adjustments on offense.   GO THUNDER!!!!

[formerd3db]

Ouch.   Me thinks we are in trouble.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Ouch.   Me thinks we are in trouble.

Does not look good for the MIAA!!  I thought every one of those games was winnable, and am especially shocked by Albion's loss: Benedictine was absolutely eviscerated by the Wheaton team that Albion beat last week (albeit with Wheaton's gb and best WR [and at least two other starters] sidelined).  Albion over Wheaton is shaping up as the second biggest upset (next to Buff State over UWW) in d3 three this year (pending future records, of couse).

If Albion is that hopeless without their starting qb, does anyone know his status going forward?

Mr. Ypsi, formerd3db,

After last week, the MIAA title race is up for grabs, IMHO. The good news that there is so much to play yet this season. The conference champ may not be decided until the last week or two. For the fans, that is exciting. For the teams, not so much, we'll see!

You could drive it down to Naperville for homecoming:)
