I will be attending the McDaniel/Ursinus game tomorrow.  It's McDaniel's homecoming; always a spectacle (especially for a returning player/alumnus).  Still probably reveling in last weeks victory I think tomorrow could be a good game...let's hope anyway.  For those of you who have never seen a McDaniel home game or homecoming it truly is one of DIII's neatest spectacles.  Best of luck to all CC players, parents on the board here, and teams going into the weekend!

I had the pleasure of seeing a game there last season against Dickinson. Even though it rained most of the game, there was still a great crowd and atmosphere with everyone parked around the bowl. The fraternity guys were great as well ,as they heckled the Devils before, at haltime and after the game as the team came up the large set of steps toward the locker room.( All in good fun of course) A great environment for a D III football game.

I had the pleasure of playing at Mcdaniel. It was quite an experience and must be a lot of fun to play 5 home games there a year. Frat row as you walk to and from the locker room is relentless (even when McDaniel was down 35-0 at halftime). I can't imagine what that place was like back in the late 90's when Mcdaniel was basically running the CC. Great atmosphere and definitely an experience I'll never forget.

Here are results. Congratulations to the Eagles of Juniata on their first win of the year. No team wants to go through a season without a win. The players and coaches work too hard not to receive some sort of gradification in return. For whatever reason Yen4ten was MIA with his picks.

There are just three weeks remaining in the Conference football regular season and we have a four-way tie at the top between Dickinson, Franklin & Marshall, Johns Hopkins and Ursinus. What do the head coaches think of the race? Who is the favorite down the stretch? Who will be the spoiler? Ask your question of the nine head coaches on Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. right here on our weekly press conference. Can't get away from a meeting to join us live? Leave your question in the comment box by 9:45 a.m. and we'll try to get it "on the air."
