Hello all-
I'm looking forward to following this new football conference next fall. It looks like there should be some good, competitive games. 
All the schools are around 1000 students or less, so does that make this the smallest conference in the nation?  Just curious.

The SLIAC should be a competitive conference for its members.

Welcome to the message boards.

Let me put in a plug for the online pre-season mag, Kickoff that comes out around Aug 20th or so.  It is less than $10, and really helps you understand D3.

Thanks. I'll watch for Kickoff to come out in August.

whats the 411 on these guys?

[Pat Coleman]

Haven't been very good for a while; tough maintaining roster numbers; athletic department in a lot of flux the past 18 months.

[AF4]

which guys did u mean

Huntingdon's program is pretty stable, good support, Coach Turk is in his 5th yr...and has built a competitive program.... just hoping it can move from a good to better program

we (they) were 5-5 last yr...with 2 games lost in overtime, also lost to play-off teams Hampden-Sydney, Wesley...and was simply blown out by UW-Oshkosh

have to re-tool the OL...and 2 key DL's, a new QB....and a few other stuff

keep the faith

[Pat Coleman]

I assumed he meant MacMurray, since that was his subject line.

[AF4]

i am slower than u... i thought he was from macmurray...and was asking about all the teams in the sliac....per the post prior to his

but ..i'll bet u r right.... remember..i am from lower alabama...and a little slow

thanks and keep the faith

[Pat Coleman]

LOL -- just need more caffeine. Early morning.

Huntingdon has posted an updated schedule. The Greenville & MacMurray games have been swapped from the original one that was posted. It also looks like all conference games are to start at Noon local time. While I dislike the one hour less for tailgating, I understand that it is probably done to get the visiting teams on the road home a little earlier. Man, is September ever going to get here?

Go Hawks!!

Af4, how you been? I haven't been to Montgomery since football season. Work's been so crazy the last three months I've hardly been out of Wadley(yes, that is very depressing). Hoping to make it down for reunion weekend next month for my 20 year class reunion. Boy, 20 years can fly by can't it?


Go Hawks!!

[AF4]

Hawks

i can thank of worse places to b tied down to than Wadley.... it is pretty country up there....

we r better than we deserve...Lord has blessed us... as far 20 yrs... brother...for me.... more than 30 from under graduate school

it will ..unfortunatly.... go faster and faster as u age

the gym is nice...went to a girls bball playoff game (against lagrange) with the boy several weeks ago

they r finishing up spring training next wk, moved coach Mills (big bald mustache-beard, UWA nose guard) to D-Line coach when coach williams went to millsaps... the boy tells me that he is an excellent line coach

the boy still loves the school

b good... i will tell brother jerry i spoke to u...should see him at Church (Lord willing) on sunday

Go Hawks...and keep the faith
