Am I losing my mind (again) or have some posts been removed? Looks like some posts by Bluenote and my response have been wiped out. I guess you didn't care for his stuff which makes mine meaningless. Am I right? Thank you sir!

[Pat Coleman]

Yes -- when I pull questionable posts I also pull ones which quote them or otherwise reference them. Thanks for understanding!

If you don't remember... then you may have a problem.

At the 40:30 mark of today's D3 Football Podcast:  Marietta Spartans?
I reckon that is a Pioneer, of sorts, of a different era.

Pat did pick Marietta to win; Rossi picked B-Dub later in the podcast.

No Gabe Brown on the 2 deep again this week.  Fortunately they have a good month before he needs to be 100% so hopefully they're just being cautious.

Gave has a cast on his right hand. Don't know anything else.
Should be "Gabe"

this Ernie Burkes kid is explosive. wonder if there's other ways to get him on the field for meaningful minutes.. slot wr, wild cat. just seems like he needs to be on the field a lot more.

He does run the wildcat at QB.

You are so right on Burkes. He goes like the wind. Seems he does belong out there more, but where?

[gizzmo13]

line him up at wr, or in back field. just get the ball in his hands.. kick returns..just seems like every game he busts a 40-50 yd run in very limited time.

[gizzmo13]

he may be a sub 4.4 40 guy

He came in as a QB and they moved him to WR his first time in Alliance.  I thought part of the reason he transferred was because he wanted to try to play QB.  Perhaps a couple years of maturity have changed his thinking though.  It would be interesting to see them go 4 wide with Burkes and Herrington in the slots.

Might be saving that stuff for the playoffs.

Now they push John Carroll to week 3.  And while the defense was great and they tossed in some blitzes, I think it's fair to say that the O line wasn't quite clicking yet, the QB was just getting going, the timing with the recievers wasn't great, and the play calling was well, vanilla-ish. 

And arguably the best player on the team - Jared Ruth - didn't play.

Ruth is a difference maker.  I was trying to remember...Mount has obviously had a lot of great WR over the years.  And a lot of times you'd have the senior complimented by the soph who was going to be the next #1 guy.  But I was trying to remember a time where you had two upperclassmen big play WR playing side by side like Hill and Ruth.  The only season I could think of was the Knapp/Sirianni combo back in the early 00's.  Taurice was explosive with Namdar, but he was more of a quick slant guy than a home run threat.

1993 (All Seniors):
Bubonics (WR) - 1,769
Atwood (TE) - 851
M. Siriani (WR) - 684
Gresko (RB) - 638

2003:
Knapp (WR) - 1,467
N. Siriani (WR) - 998

2007:
Garcon (WR) - 955
Davis (WR) - 875

Of those I'd say only Knapp/Sirianni.  Those guys were both nearly 20 yds per catch and TD a game guys.  The other one I thought was a maybe (but I don't know the stats) was what about Knestrick/Gollate?  Knestrick was for sure.  He was one of the best big play WR ever at Mount.  I just don't recall Gollate as well.

I remember those guys quite well.  I actually preferred Gollate as he was more sure handed.  Knestrick would make a circus catch but drop an easy one.  Both were very, very good.

MTU site doesn't list a Roster for 1997 but these were the top receivers that year.  Interestingly, they all had 57 receptions.

Knestrict: 1,258
Gollate: 813
Tyla: 779

What about 98 with Kershner and Marino?
