just wondering, are CarrollStreaks and BleedPurple ever online at the same time?

Funny you should ask...they're both online right now.

I graduated CJ in 99.  My parents live in Harrison Township and I have plenty of freinds in Englewood/Clayton.  My wife's cousin was a Miamisburg guy (Billy Updyke).  Maybe you know the name?  

haha I know billy very well.......had quite a successful career down at Morehead......havent really heard much about him since then, but im sure hes still as "Billy" as ever..

Just found out today that DP is gonna be the OC for the Stars n stripes in the Tazon de Estrellas and that coach Scafe is coaching the DBs.......should be fun to see how two head coaches from the OAC compliement each other under one roof

Oh, and as for CarrollStreaks "laughingstock" rant........I can tell you that as a player for DP for the better part of 5 seasons, to call someone who develops players into outstanding young men, and with such a high graduation rate as there is for football players at ONU....the man does the job as good as anyone

I'd invite CarrolStreaks to come to Ada and try and do it himself.......but i dont think he would be near as successful  

No one here has called any OAC head coach a "laughingstock."  My comment was in reference to the way some people around here (mostly a few arrogant Mount Union fans) talk about the head coach of John Carroll as if he's a joke.  I was stating that if he's such a joke, it's an even bigger joke that any Ohio Northern team, especially one that beat Mount Union and was battling for a playoff spot, would lose to a team coach by him.

point taken, sir. my apologies for the misinterpretation

Pierre was just on ESPN's First Take talking about last nights game....should be re-aired a little after noon

PS - Sorry, missed the airing (and re-airing).  Hope he was a little humble after his first half.

This was on the Colts site:

WRs Austin Collie (rookie) and Pierre Garcon (second season) each had multiple drops Sunday, which coach Jim Caldwell attributed to the "electric" atmosphere, not a long term issue: "They were trying to run with it before they caught it."

Shouldn't hurt him too badly.

The TD catch won't hurt either

CarrollStreaks

Dude, day one was nearly ten years ago for me.  I've been here for a decade and seen a dozen JCU fans come and go.  I'm sure I'll see you off as well.  You've come in here and known more about anything than everyone since your own day one.

It's a shame the rumor about JCU to the NCAC has lost some steam because I truly think you'd fit in given your general attitude towards the world. 

You can call me names and claim that I bow down to Mount Union but those who've been here for years know that is simply not true and their opinion of me matters multitudes more than yours.  You've made just over 100 posts so far and going back to post one, you've been a know-it-all whether it pertained to all things JCU or Dayton.  I guess you just know everything there is to know about Ohio-based Catholic Universities (or nothing; I can't really decide).

I've always admitted ONU's faults so if you think pointing out the fact that ONU lost to OTT in 2009 or JCU in 2005 hurts me in some way, you're sadly mistaken.  When we lose, we lose and the primary blame goes right on ONU's shoulders.  No excuses.  So call me names.  Call me a d-bag.  You're the bigger man for it and you really put me in my place.  Ouch. 

Moving on...

[Raider 68]

It was a great year in the OAC.  We had the Number One team, two good 8-2 teams and certainly the best 7-3 D3 team in the nation in the Capital Crusaders.  It is too bad the Otters got nailed by the injury bug and a miscarrage of justice the ONU  team didn't make the playoffs.  There were enough upsets to make everyone happy, at least untill the following week, and a lot of fine coaching on display.  The Raiders will make all of you proud and will uphold the reputation of OAC football.  Wait untill the rest of the field gets a load of the Purple passing attack .  Ten touchdowns to the tight ends!  Coach Tressel ought to call LK and get some of his plays.  I bet OSU tight ends havent caught ten touchdowns in ten years.

Those big tight ends will make a huge difference if Mount gets to Salem
this year.

Kind of disagree with HScoach on UWW dominating the line
of scrimmage in all of the Mount/UWW games. There have been 6 games
and while Mount had better skill players for some of those games, the lines
made things happen. Turnovers were a factor like all games, but it was not
quite as one sided as mentioned. For 2009, the lines are similiar size, but we will see (if they meet again) how it goes. Mount does have an advantage will the two huge tight ends, who can block and catch. UWW has a great running game with Coppage, the Raiders counter with Morring/Panchik and Shorts is the huge X factor. In the past 2 years, however, UWW seems to have controlled the line of scrimmage, by not only their physical play, but their between the tackles running game.

ONU's Trunsik is making the most of his PT at LB. Since the Browns play
alot more defense than offense that PT will only increase.

I am pulling for #93!!

Streak-One great Carroll team in ten years, get over yourself. Regis without Tom Arth = Muskingum

For the record, I didn't say all the UWW/MUC games.  Just the 4 Staggs.

And I didn't say they dominated the line of scrimmage.  I said they won the LOS.

In the past 2 years, however, UWW seems to have controlled the line of scrimmage, by not only their physical play, but their between the tackles running game.

The UWW offensive line philosophy differs greatly from that of MUC.  UWW's line scheme is man blocking aggressively blocking the point of attack and opening gaps in the defense.  Mount's scheme is more of a read technique up front, influencing a defender to play a gap and sealing him so the ball carrier can read the block and find the opening.  The Mount offense is still veer based in this manner where a lineman is to get off his initial man and get to the next level once the hole at the line is sealed.  Comparing the "O" lines is like comparing apples to oranges.  One reason LK went away from the behemoth linemen of '03 back to quicker guys who can get in the way of LB's and safeties opening up cutback lanes on the backside of running plays.  UWW wears down defenses physically while the MUC approach is designed to break down a defense's discipline by influencing over pursuit and penetration.

[09 Polar Bear]

now that we've seen the classiness that has been displayed by the Catholic boy from the notheast lets move onto a new topic.......

I was talking with some associates today on the possible need for some new head coaches in the greater Clevelnad area (Ill leave it to the reader to figure out which schools  ) and there seems to be a consensus that there will be some changes going on

Assuming you take MUC alums out of the equation, who would make for the best candidates to take over at BW and JCU?
