Clearly that was a parody account.

It was 100% NOT a parody account. It was Craig Rundle's account.

Hacked, then, perhaps.

The cached site sure doesn't show anything that screams parody account.

For those of you traveling to Angola tomorrow for the Hope-Trine football game, here is the latest weather forecast; mostly sunny, some clouds, temp 60.  Perfect weather for football!  Even though Hope is the league favorite I think the most pressure to win tomorrow falls on Trine.  They have this to think about...the regular season winning streak going back to the end of 2016...it's Homecoming, no one wants to lose Homecoming...and many past football alums are back in town, added pressure to perform well in front of your peers.  I think it will be a low scoring game.  If it's high scoring it favors Hope, as Trine will need to rely on the defense to keep us in the game.

As I previously mentioned, normally, I would be coming there and on the sidelines.  However, can't make it tomorrow due to having to attend a relative's wedding.  Anyway, indeed, sounds like it will be perfect fall football weather.  Have a great time at Homecoming, except, of course, the outcome of the game, of which you know who I hope wins! Pat and Ryan think Trine may be among the remaining unbeaten teams to get beat this weekend.  Overall, I think it should be a very good game.  No disrespect to my relative, but I am sad in having to miss the great atmosphere that will be at your Trine stadium and campus.

Trine football is always a great atmosphere, I think it's the best in the MIAA...today should be a huge crowd!  I wholeheartedly agree that Trine's national ranking is not accurate, we aren't one of the 25 best D3 teams in the country, or even one of the top 10 teams in the Midwest region, not even close.  The ranking is based mostly off the last 2 years, and that we haven't lost...yet.  This team lost a lot of offensive weapons and defensive secondary production from the previous 2 seasons.  Our first 3 games this year we've gotten off to comfortable leads in all 3 only to see the other teams come back.  We don't finish well.  But today's game is a different animal, Hope is a really good physically tough team.  I am not expecting us to win, but our advantage today is playing at home.  If Hope jumps out to a quick lead and takes the crowd out of the game it will be tough for Trine to win.

I agree.  Hope has seemed to finish pretty strong in the games played.  However, they do tend to be lax at inadvertent times.  If Hope makes a dumb mistake early in the game, such as on lackadaisical kickoff coverage or being lax in covering receivers and/or giving up the long bomb pass, as they have a tendency to do on occasion. then it could set the tone, including for the crowd.  Being that it is your Homecoming, the latter could be a factor.

I agree that Trine's atmosphere is one of the best in the MIAA, but I also rank Albion and Olivet right in there as well.  Although as much as I love my alma mater as you all know, the atmosphere at our home stadium, while fun and great fan support from those who come to the games is just not like it used to be (IMO.) Attendance has been very disappointing the past few years, which is baffling to me because we have had the three consecutive good winning records.  But, that is "just the way it is."  Nonetheless, nothing beats being at one's home stadium on a beautiful fall weather day for college football no matter which school it is!

I thought Hope would win at Trine, but sure didn't see this demolition job coming - Hope 51, Trine 0 in the 4th!

The winning streak has come to a crashing end!  Yes, just a total domination on both sides of the ball by Hope.  They played a perfect game.  The guy that makes then go and is such a difference maker is Mason Opple.  This is the 3rd time I've seen him play and he's gotten better each year, especially throwing the ball.  He has such patience in the pocket and has pinpoint accuracy.  But his receivers were also wide open running free most of the day.  Trine was just putrid on offense. Brandon Winters was awful throwing the ball, but Hope had a lot to do with that as they got consistent pressure in the backfield.  Just no fight in the guys today, Hope punched them in the mouth and we didn't punch back.

On a positive note Trine did set a new attendance record, over 6300 fans came out on this gorgeous afternoon.  They really do need to add some more seating to the home side, but I don't know where they can expand unless they build a "wrap around" extension on the northeast corner of the stadium.
