Congrats to Albion on a good season.  Heck of an offense you run.  Would like to see it under reasonable conditions.  The weather did no favors today.

Safe travels home to the Britons.

As a Briton, I wish the conditions were worse and Albion went with a game plan similar to MSU did against OSU this weekend. Just run the ball a thousand times. While Wabash's back was running downhill for the most part I think the two back system, and a very mobile Bona, Albion may have been able to pull it off. The turnovers did not help anyone.

I really enjoyed the Wabash broadcast, I saw a few other Albion fans on facebook complaining about the announcers, but at the end of the day for a DIII broadcast it was very professional. I really enjoyed hearing Mauri Ditzler during the hour long halftime.

Speaking of halftime, can anyone remember a similar halftime?

Yeah, when the weather's bad. I remember a particularly bad set of conditions in the 2007 quarterfinals when Bethel played at Central. We were filling about 45 minutes of halftime that day.

Hey grandmaster, where are you and staff going to be this weekend?  I hope perhaps at a game that is in a little warmer climate! ;)

I'm going to be at Wheaton. Adam Turer will be at Wabash and Keith will be at Wesley. Don't know if it will be warmer but hopefully not snowing, because I'm flying.

Safe travels and as Mr. Ypsi says, it should be dry.  Just dress warm, even though you will be inside in "the box".  Looking forward to a some good second round games and, of course, the great broadcasts!

Thanks desertcat1 and Raider68.  I join you in wishing all my fellow MIAA'ers an enjoyable and blessed Thanksgiving Day and weekend whatever they are doing as well as the same to both of you.

One of the worst kept "secrets" in the "rumor mill" is now official.  Defensive Coordinator D.J. Durkin has left U of Michigan in being named the new Head Coach at the University of Maryland.  This is Michigan's loss, however, a great opportunity for him.  He is a neat guy and great coach and wishing him all the best in the next chapter of his coaching career and his family's life.

I love to win. Love it. Football is just too hard and too tough if you're not successful. This isn't just recreation, and the sport isn't for everybody. I just don't want to expend all this time and effort and come up short.

Uh, maybe Trine football is the only social event in Angola on a Saturday (or Thursday night)?  ;)  This from a guy who grew up across the border in Bryan (with none!)   ::)

True that... At least in my day, Green's Pavilion at Devil's Lake still rocked (as did Bledsoe's Beach (Lk James) and Cold Springs (Hamilton Lk)) - assume I'm a few decades older and still do a double-take at mention of "Trine."  ;D
