How far back in history are we going?

[WLCALUM83]

"It would be nice to see Olivet take the conference, seeing as they haven't done it before"  Before??  I think you mean recently b/c Olivet has won the MIAA many times.  They are also 1 of the 2 original members of the MIAA
Olivet MIAA Champs in 1895, 1901, 1906, 1907, 1909, 1911, 1913-14, 1974, and I believe 1974 is the last MIAA Championship.
I agree that seeing both Hope and Olivet in the NCAA Playoffs would be great.

I stand corrected. (I took in Olivet's feed of the last game, and may have misheard something). -X

Pat:

79jaybird's intent appears to be to look back at the entire history of the MIAA.

I think the best crow is served on the corner of Bluemound and HWY 100. What is the name of the burrito place Quboda(sp)? Just joking, they serve the best I have found in Milwaukee. Hot, fast, and not bad prices. Take the coupon they give you at the football games and you can feed cheep. The more important question is what are you doing posting at 4:30AM!? Just getting in... or going to work?

I love Qudoba (sp?).  Your fans are lucky if there are coupons they give out at the game.

Wheaton used to have a promotion at basketball games (they may still have it for all I know)  that if Wheaton won you called a certain Dominos and say "Wheaton won" you could get a 2 topping pizza for 5 bucks.  Some of my friends who previously hated sports suddenly became superfans because of that promotion.

It has been a couple years ago but got free pizza coupons at a Rockford football game, also hooked up some coupons to a restaurant in the tower clock mall... Never got any coupons at any Michigan games!!

You're right, no coupons for Michigan football games.  However, if you went to basketball or ice hockey games, there were coupons available.

I just have trouble going back to sleep--so I do the next best thing--post!!

In today's world, the majority of folk doesn't care about what you did in 1900, if you won Nat'l Championships in the 80's, or if you had a success before there was color TV.
My point was just that Olivet is not having success in the 1990's-2000's but at one time they were.
Pat's point is that the MIAA hasn't won a playoff game since Albion's title.  Case in point, 2006 is a different year and anything can happen.  Perhaps this year, the MIAA will get that playoff monkey off their back and we will see one of the MIAA teams making it to the 2nd/3rd rounds of the playoffs.

[WLCALUM83]

I apologize.

[wlcalum]

I think we have all made good points in our posts and we all basically agree that we would like to see the MIAA improve. We can pick apart our posts and find different points to agrue but that will get us no where.
My main concern right now is why we don't get free food coupons in Michigan for football games!! (sorry - slow day at work)
