FB: Ohio Athletic Conference

[Dr. Acula]

Awesome read, HScoach.  I agree 100% that offensive line is the question mark.  But if they can put it together, and I think they will, man are they going to be dangerous running the ball.  I really liked what I saw from Minnich.  He seemed to have a nice little burst and some shiftiness.  If they can get all 3 of those guys touches and as a result keep them fresh?  Should be fun to watch.  Especially when you remember Burke is so effective running the ball too. 

I think the D is going to be really good.  Bold prediction there, huh?  Haha.  VK just plugs in new guys I've never heard of and they leave me shaking my head time and again that there is basically never any drop off in that defense from year to year.  Just 11 athletes running around making plays and forcing turnovers.

HScoach,

Great analysis! Thanks for taking the time. I echo your comments and agree, the O line will determine
how successful the Raiders will be in 2013. Hope they have some good O line recruits coming! +k

Fisher's schedule came out yesterday and Fisher is traveling to Westerville Ohio to open their season.

Any Otterbein fans on here, or any of the OAC faithful for that matter, that can tell me what to expect from them?

[HScoach]

Average.   Very average.

To all Mount fans...I am asking a favor...I have decided to change tv providers and there's one huge downfall...I will lose my dvr copy of the 2012 Stagg Bowl and the UMHB game...does anyone have a copy of both they would like to copy and share or does the bookstore sell copies on either game. And yes, it's a matter of life or death.

I have a copy of both on my dvr. I've been asked for a copy but I don't have anything to make a copy. If you have a way to get that done let me know.

Ric, I do not have the equipment to do that, I have a friend in Norfolk who "thinks" he recorded both onto dvd's...waiting for an answer.

And I will ask my son Rob (Bobert6296) as he asked Santa Claus for a device to copy online gamage, but should be able to save what is on my DVR.

Average.   Very average.

OAC average, or E8 average?

I believe they are much improved after their 2008-2009 home-and-home with MUC.

Although they still have those unfocused (brain-damaged) games.

[HScoach]

^ doesn't matter.   I think the middle of the E-8 and OAC are pretty comparable.   It's the very top (Mount) and bottom (Wilma) that are different.

Very little in the way of pre or post game in Westerville itself.  Do they still only have one joint that serves beer down there?

Or were you actually talking about the game...

[Raider 68]

Have a Happy and Safe Easter to all the OAC posters!
