YOu are correct, thats a typo on my part it is the 2002 line. I will ammend it.

The 2003 line wasn't half bad either, as I recall.

Just got caught up on everything that has been discussed in the last few pages. Has there been any official news or announcement's who Adrian is bringing in to interview for the DC job yet? Also Wow I didnt realize that there's been that many changes in staff over the last few years! $:-\$ Thats too bad I feel they had a good staff there when I played them. Well other than that information, I guess I'm just wondering if anyone knows if any of their guys stuck around campus to train with each other? Also does anyone think that this may be the Year that MIAA Champ will get pass the first round of the Playoff's? I myself hope that Albion Wins, but if not I'll hope that whoever it is can make it past the first round for the MIAA and represent us well.

ADawgisadawgforlife- Thank you and yes I agree with your predictions. I took a look at your blog and found myself agreeing with the majority of your forecast.
Looking at the Elmhurst/Olivet game from 2006 I think if Olivet doesn't put themselves behind the 8 ball with those 3 turnovers in the beginning, the game might have had a different outcome. Tough to recover when you hand the ball to the other team in the red zone.

Random Thoughts

Does anyone know how the NEW President at Albion feels about sports.

Looking at the FB season, it looks pretty open as to whom may win league.

Olivet and Hope return a lot of players from their league leading teams last year.
No offense but neither looked like a dominate team, I think a few of the other teams could step up and take the conference this year.

Totally secondhand information, but from what I heard, the new president is not particularly interested in athletics. Don't know much more than that, if I hear anything I'll let you know.

From what I have heard at the least he has a much better relationship with Rundle. That is to say he isnt overbearing and anti football like the previous president. Even disinterest at this point would be an improvement over the last guy at Albion. The longer they can keep Rundle around the more success they will have.

he would be a she, and she hasn't moved into her office yet.

So sorry on that mistake, but the rest of my post holds true at least from the intial meetings between the two.

another recruit for adrian college is QB Mike McGee,Brookhaven (Columbus, Ohio)
google him you should be able to find him

I see that Olivet is adding onto the Campus.

New track and some Campus improvements.

Good to see.

Any improvement is an improvement for all the conference.

This goes with the New BB Coach, Olivet is on the move.

Be interesting if the FB team can keep the energy and level of play from last year.

Flying Dutch Fan · June 19, 2007, 02:48:17 PM

I agree. Olivet seems to be putting a lot of effort into improving their overall athletics program. Men's swimming took the conference the last 2 years, the FB program has been doing well, as have the golf teams, and track is improving also. Bringing in a BBall coach that is a proven winner and good recruiter, and Olivet will no longer be a bottom dweller as far as all sports awards/commissioner cup is concerned.

The Olivet improvements are a welcome sight. Olivet, MI is a pretty part of the world/state, very relaxed, picturesque, and good people living there. Last year when we were up there, I had the chance to tour the campus and community, and was really caught up with the fine architecture and history surrounding the college. The improvements to the Comets' Athletic Teams just add to the overall makeup of the college.

Beautifull Eaton County!

This makes me so happy, I grew up 15 minutes up the road..........well up the road, over a couple miles and then back up the road but anyway.......your one of the few who's expressed this opinion.

I bet it makes a few people chuckle though.

Having grown up in suburban Chicago with the city's skyline as a backdrop, I love a relaxed, rural setting! I like the fact that you have the city gathering around the college and attending the Comets' games as the town's "main event". We don't get that here because in Chicago, you have so many sporting events/teams to choose from. Olivet has something very special.
