FB: Ohio Athletic Conference

[HScoach]

And 8-1 afterwards 

[JK]

They win a few games and now, all of a sudden, the supporters come out of the woodwork...

OldOtter,

From the longest tenured Cap poster, welcome.  Stick around, you'll have fun.

Unfortunately, I can't agree with hscoach.  I hope the Otters are 7-1 when they play MUC and 7-2 when they leave.

If your email address is who you are, you aren't just a "past player" at OTT, you were one of the best they ever had.

JK-

thanks for the welcome. i've always enjoyed reading everything on the d3football website over the years and never realized that there was a board you could post on. prolly better that i didn't post on it while still a player. kind of nice to keep track of the cards from the stands rather than blowing out another knee!  i do miss it though.

i was wondering, i played ball with R Smith when he was at OC my frosh year. Great ball player. how is the cap secondary doing without him back there.  i know they lost a lot this past season with Coleman and Starks leaving. i went to hs with stimmel and have been happily surprised with how well he's played this season.

i'm looking forward to the game down at Cap. always a great rivalry. otterbein is a completely different team this year and i think the game will be a close one just as it has been the last few seasons.

I think Ronnie Smith being out is a big reason why Shorts had over 200 yards receiving in the MUC game last week.  I don't think it would have made a huge difference in the outcome of the game overall, but Smith was Cap's best chance to cover Shorts.

Starks and Coleman preceeded by the Hausler's was a nice run in Cap's secondary.  It was due for a half-step back after losing those guys.  You are right about Stimmel...pleasant surprise.  Evan DeLuca has been a bit of a surprise too.

I'm just glad Cap is relevant again.  When I was there we were terrible.  After a 5-5 season my frosh year in 93 (which affirmed my belief that Cap was an up and comer in the OAC, which is a big reason why I went there), we bottomed out at 2-8, 1-9, and 1-9 from 94-96.  Then Jim Collins came in and turned it around.  Hopefully Coach Bickel can keep it going. I think he can.  He's a super guy and a great coach.

I believe it was during the Smeck at QB days that  a kid tried to transfer from Michigan State by way of Notre Dame to D3 and LK took a pass on him. Turned out the kid was a winner and lead his team to the Stagg Bowl. Of course he lost...to MUC...but the kid had a real cannon. If LK passed on him, then I can see Heller getting passed over too. Especially with all the baggage. But I would love to see the kid play someday. Talent is talent. You have to appreciate it. Still I dont relish the thought of MUC having their own version of T.O.

If Micheli cant get POY there is still that trophy for best Athlete Scholar. I cant remember what its called. Is that awarded only at D1 level only? I hope not. Let Micheli win for Scholarship and Kmic for POY! What a sweep! It will go great with the Championship trophy!

Every year we hear about some guy who is so great he is just going to walk on the practice field and take over. Ha and double Ha.

[reality check]

Gus Ornstein.

That name screams "scholar" over "athlete".

DesertRaider-Thanks go to my 6th period student assistant who "turned me on to" Steve and Barry's

TheaProf-Yes I expect to be somewhere along the fence by the main gate so Kevin can play football with his friends by the home side concession stand.

JK- Pelvis,Pelvus,hip.hup. no matter how you spell it, it's going to hurt. Anyway I teach computers with spell checkers BTW how's your Dad handling retirement? I'm going to try that when I get old.

Thanks for all the well wishes. I taught my last day for a while today. Should be back to work in 2 and a half weeks with a big ugly plastic neck brace on.  Can't drive till the week before the (drum roll please)..........Stagg Bowl.

I'll second that.

Seventies, good luck with the surgery.  Try not to be too much of a dirty old man with the nurses.

[Dr. Acula]

Best wishes seventies.  Hope all goes well.  Try to keep your requests for sponge baths to a minimum...those nurses have other patients! 

[Kira & Jaxon's Dad]

The nurses will be scared of the sponge bath because seventies has "Old Balls!"  LOL

Good Luck Seventies!!

[SaintsFAN]

kirasdad,

Nice "Big Daddy" reference there... +K

Seventies,

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. 


The last surgery I had... I woke up to my girlfriend laughing hysterically.  I guess when I was "coming to" I was telling her and the nurse my plans to buy an island somewhere. 

[OldOtter]

seventies-

best wishes from Westerville for a speedy recovery! I know a thing or two about trying to bounce back from surgeries!
