MIAA Pickems is back!!  First week's slate is up - PLEASE NOTE, there is a Thursday game and a Friday game this week.  If you miss those times, Saturday picks will still be counted if in on time.  (I'll never select a non-MIAA game before Saturday, but want to include all MIAA games.)

As always, non-conference games and 'other games of interest' are one point each; conference games are two points each.

By my count, 16 of 130 on the Hope varsity roster are out of state students.  Just over 10%.

Hope's general enrollment is around 25% out of state.



I've never done it, but I'd be curious what percentage of Hope's out of state students are on athletic rosters.

What is the inside story on that?  I haven't followed the Lions much at all during this pre-season (in part, by choice, in part due to other things going on).  3-4 weeks ago, he was being projected as either a starter or 5th or sixth db.  Did he not make the final roster due to his injury again this year?

The story on the Detroit Lions website I saw made reference to that very fact -- because of injury, coaches hadn't had a real opportunity to evaluate him.

Thanks Pat.  Makes sense.  Hopefully, he will be called up sometime during the season and then have his chance in a regular season game.  Obviously, they like his talent level and work ethic (even into his second season), otherwise they would have released him outright.

Indeed it was.  It was also great to see the offense get back to what we've been a few years ago.  Of course, the test will be this weekend to see if they can sustain it.  From what I've read, Millikin is not quite as strong as they were last year, however, I do am not taking that at face value because Hope can't take them for granted.  Yet, a nice win like the one yesterday sure would be great and especially for the special day of dedication of the stadium officially being named for Coach Ray and Sue Smith.  Looking forward to a great day of football and including the weather.

Our board has been dormant.  I assume we are all busy working hard at our respective jobs! :o ::) ;) :D

Or just waiting for basketball season.  Despite a few of us, I just don't think the MIAA is a football conference. :P

Mr. Ypsi:

Well, I can understand that potential mode of thinking by some.  Our MIAA is not the football league it once was, unfortunately, although several reasons for that as many have discussed.  There will still always be us "die-hards" as you indicate! ;) :)


OC_SID:

I knew that was the case for you! ;D ;) :)  Good luck to your team this weekend.  Could Olivet really make it "2 in a row"? :o

Great attendance for Albion's home game season opener vs. Defiance last weekend - wow, 3,556 is excellent.  It will be interesting to see how they do against Wheaton tomorrow night.  Although from what we've read on the boards regarding Wheaton being in a somewhat "rebuilding" year, I still think it will be a tough game, particularly since it is at their place.  If Albion wins, I say "look-out" for them to the rest of us in our MIAA, even though it is early in the season.
