Dang, I'm losing the Geezer Bowl in pickem's to Runyr, Raiderpa, Raider68, and Mr Mom

Want to feel worse?  Bobert6296 is only 13!

Yeah, yeah, and he still knows everything. 

But not as much as me, because I knew everything at 13 and I is smarterer now!

Went to the game and the first thing I noticed,  Where were the championship banners?  The light poles looked really bare without them.   Rocco looked solid.  He needs more experience, he appears to be Mt's only deep passer.   Defense was solid and receiver corp showed sure hands as usual.   Special teams not so special.  They should improve, there appears to be enough players to choose from.   
Fish looked better than last year.   All in all, a very good effort by the Raiders.  I counted thirty some cheerleaders.  Wow!  Oh and they still have the purple chicken.  This year he/she  has a small drum to beat. 

If the name change of the college goes through, it will set the Nat'l Champ count to zero. Uh oh.  8)

anyone hear about Seaman's getting banged up before halftime?  I wondered why we did not see him in the 2nd half..
I agree you have to cut Rocco some slack...his stats for a first year starter are super....

Does anyone remember Robert Heller, the former freshman All-American from Waynesburg that ran for over 2000 yards and 25 TD's as a freshman a couple years ago???  He played that first game of 2008 but disappeared.  I ran across some blog called "The Varsity Letter" that stated he was possibly attending Marietta now but obviously not on the football team.  There were apparently rumors he'd resurface at Slippery Rock or Etta or to pursue boxing but how wild would it be if a kid with his talent was on campus in Marietta and not playing for the Pios?!?  I wish there were some way to confirm or locate this kid.

He was going to attend a D-II in Pennsylvania, I believe IUP. As such he would probably have to sit out a season.

a little surprised that ONU only dropped to #16 at 1-2. I know they lost to ranked teams, but still. OC moves up to 13th and Cap to 22nd. Nice to see 4 teams remain in the top 25 again this week

  Rocco is 31 for 47 , for 628 yards, and 7 touchdowns.  He has thrown 1 interception.  All this in his first three varsity starts.  Listen to "What does it take to win your love?" by Junior Walker and the All Stars.

Rocco still needs to improve his footwork and until he does Lk will continue to groom Seaman who Lk is very high on.  Look for Seaman's reps to increase as season goes on.  Rocco has agreat arm, but until he gets more consistenet with footwork he will be limited especialy against teams that can bring heat on defense.

Footwork? I thought we were talking football, not "Dancing With the Stars". So far he seems to be doing pretty darn well at football.

Congrats to MUC on their win this weekend and their march forward to a possible / probable visit to the STAGG Bowl.  The brownies will be there and so will I!!  Keep up the great work ethic and football that everyone has come to expect from the premier program of DIII.  It was great to see Pierre catch the game-winning touchdown pass last week and to know that he represents DIII.  He was great to watch at the STAGG and is great to watch in the Pros as well!!  All the best.  Ta for now . . .  Olinemom.

...SIGH....

  It'll get better.

In other news, first pass of the night went to "starter" Garcon who was mugged all the way.  No free passes for Pierre anymore ... they know who he is now.

[bushman]

It appears so.
