FB: Ohio Athletic Conference

Where's the ONU bandwagon terminal? I'd like to hop on a couple days three weeks early.

Well I bet you were on it in '99 after we came to Crawfordsville. Welcome back.

ONU Otterbein-  Both nationally ranked, should be a great game. Looking forward to it.

[Raider 68]

It is a sad state of affairs when Raider 68 is talking about parking spaces......I mean parking spaces...they are just parking spaces!  When I was up there a few years ago, there were NO parking spaces anywhere, so I doubt if "losing" another 250 will be noticeable by Mount fans.  We all had to park out on some side street anyway.

JCU has sunk to the "almost Wilmington" level.  That is just wrong.  They need to overhaul the whole trick bag up there and get another LK disciple, or at least a competent head coach that can turn that place around.  They should be an automatic "local choice" for all those Catholic boys up there in the Greater Cleveland area. 

In the meantime......Mount wins 51-10.  DAMN YOU HSCOACH!   

I posted some time ago that HC changes should be made at both JCU and B-W. Now B-W is 2-0 and JCU will be 0-2. IMHO, JCU will be lucky to be 3-7 and B-W may do better (Saturday against  the 'Berg will tell us). The JCU Administrators must have a de-emphasis on football and the alums must not care either! Agree, the situation at JCU is sad!

Parking at JCU won't be a problem with only 15 Streaks' fans there.

[jam40jeff]

Parking won't be a problem if you know how to parallel park.  There's about 15 streets with on-street parking within 1/3 mile of the stadium.

The difference between Wilmington and Carroll is JCU still has Frank Ross. He was a one man team against Mount last year and Case Western the other night. Next year??? Maybe they make him OC.

Frank is the only thing that made me stop and think about picking Mount by so much.

Go early, get lunch on Cedar and walk off the calories

Go early and get lunch at Melt (Cedar and Taylor).

Not sure if we have ANY BW fans here and not sure I care if I do them a favor or not, but do not go to Frost-Kalnow Field in Tiffin unless you want to see Tiffin U. Dub's and Berg are playing at Mayer Field on Heidelberg's Campus in the valley behind the field-house. Plenty to room to bring your own chairs this year.

My thoughts: HU has had their way with BW the last three years and the Berg is much improved. Flying a little under the radar are some DII transfers from Slippery Rock that BW got including their starting QB who was named OAC player of the week, Week One, although he only had about 155 passing yards??

The Berg was hitting on all cylinders at Alma and I don't think Big Mike will be out coached. Over all talent wise, I now think the nod goes to Heidelberg

Yeah, but he had 2 yards rushing as well!

Seriously, that's a head scratcher.  Otterbein and Ohio Northern put up a good amount of points that weekend.  I find it hard to believe there wasn't anyone with much better stats.

Seaman had 5 TD passes, but UMU doesn't submit players for individual - in-season awards.  Maybe OTT and ONU didn't nominate anyone either???

Go early and get lunch at Melt (Cedar and Taylor).

Melt was featured on Man Vs. Food.  I nearly had a heart attack watching the episode but damn that stuf looked good (not good for you). 


And who uses "1/3" as a mileage measurement?

It's great.  And some sandwiches aren't as bad as than others (they actually have some that approach "healthy").  Too bad there's always a long wait.

Let's hear some "Little Johnny" applause for the QB from BW from the game I left at halftime because it was sooo bad. When I coached Cross Country I warned kids that they weren't allowed to come in last and get the "Little Johnny" applause.

BTW-Hell has frozen over, Baldwin-Wallace - Heidelberg is listed as a game of the week, by Ohio College Football. (Actually wish I could be there) Sorry Mike

[seventiesraider]

Just wondering if the new Neil Seaman video interview in the Raiders site is up to Otterbein standards

RE JCU

Can you say the program is being de-emphasized with the brand new stadium?

I wonder what effect nearby NDC's new (soon to be DII, I believe) program has had on their recruiting.

I would think it would only make a significant impact if they limit their recruiting to the greater Cleveland area.  NDC was an all women's school until recently--not exactly a national recruiting powerhouse for northeast Ohio, unless the guys are more interested in @$$ than football.
