Thanks for the follow-up.  I had seen where many of you OAC'ers had been commenting that ONU was having a somewhat "off year".  However, I had expected them to give Mount a tougher game than they ended up doing as you mention.  As to Hope's game, my post to DAWG (a former Adrian player and coach) just prior to this one to you sums it up, unfortunately, for us.

Overall, the weather was fantastic for college football yesterday as you know.  I guess we had all better have enjoyed that (and possibly next week if we are lucky) because for whatever reason, I somehow have this fear/premonition that October is going to be a rainy and colder month.  Although I could obviously be wrong as I have not check the Farmer's Almanac, which in over a hundred and almost 50 years, has been pretty accurate.   Anyway, I hope you enjoyed your day yesterday.

Still in the area and region, actually about two blocks removed from Adrian College itself! The admin does a great job with events like homecoming, really changed the atmosphere as far as that is concerned for the better. I know everyone Ive talked to thats visited on a game day where they have events like that has come away impressed.

Your punter does have one hell of a leg, it was odd though, first half he was not getting much on the ball, comes out in the second and was just destroying it however.

Indeed, I hope I am wrong about the weather!   I know that you, too, don't want to sit (or stand) around in rainy/cold weather watching your son play, although you will obviously do that anyway regardless of how the weather is this month!

That I will!

Hope's game can probably be summed up in the 12 yards net rushing. 

So far Hope seems to be competent at home, poor on the road.

What a great story. I was a little choked up reading it. Zach sounds like a great son, one who honors his mother in everything he does. Good luck to Zach and his teammates and congratulations for that amazing win over Wheaton.

This is a great story and yes, I'll admit it, I became a little teary eyed. Congrats to him. Sounds like a great son, who will always make his mom proud.

W&J may not be in the conference, but please keep the team, players, coaches, student body, and especially the player's family in mind during this horrible time: http://www.d3football.com/notables/2012/10/washington-and-jefferson-player-dies

Will the Albion/Trine winner have the edge for the conference lead, and will Adrian/Hope winner
be a lead contender this week? IMHO, this week's results may answer that at the midway point
of the season!

[ThunderStorm_3peat]

i would say hope is out after being shut out by adrian but you never no adrian has a tendency to lose to a team it shouldnt so i'd say who ever wins the Trine albion game would be the clear front runner


Go Thunder

Alma's first drive they marched down 84 yards and took 7 minutes off the clock.  After that they only managed 32 yards the rest of the game.

Defensively they held strong and only gave up a touch over 300 yards.

I wanted to point out the big guy from Florida that Adrian brought along.  He's 5-7, 370 lbs.! That's a big freshman!
