go bearcats

[CBE]

they ain't mine anymore... i've moved on.
but yes the plan is to get faster guys on the field. they moved aliquippa grad tommie campbell from safety to OLB; he runs a 4.49. doug fulmer at DE runs a 4.6-4.7... all these freshmen coming in are faster than most of the team already there.... should be interesting

14,
Where have you moved on to?

fyi, St. Vincent's College HC Bob Colbert had successful double knee replacement surgery Friday morning. He is in good health and recovering in St. Margaret's Hospital just outside Pittsburgh. He should be released on Tuesday to the loving care of his wife Momma Colbert in Latrobe. If you would like to pass along well wishes (or sympathies to Momma Colbert), email me at bcc28@cornell.edu and I will pass a message along. Thanks

Go Bearcats

I think the preseason poll should be coming out very soon. Maybe even this week. I think Thiel and W&J will be the top 2 teams but where will everyone else fall?

[SaintsFAN]

Prediction:

Thomas More will crack the top two.  They recruited only for depth this season and they don't need any newcomer to come in and play right away, first time in quite a few years the Saints can say that. 

Word is the Saints had a great offseason and worked hard in the weight training department.

[PittTBCW]

Saintsfan,
      I like your outlook this season but I am pretty sure everyteam and coaching staff is going to say that thier team worked hard this offseason. I think its going to be a 3 way race for the championship with TM, Thiel, and W&J.

     I am actually surprised that W&J was not closer in the coaches poll. I figured it would be close for overall. I can't wait for kickoff!!!

GO TOMCATS!!!

[PittTBCW]

Congrats to Thiel and W&J on cracking the D3football.com Top 25!!! Camps is very close which means kickoff is very close!

What PAC team this year holds the toughest schedule and also could be surprise team of PAC?

[PittTBCW]

I think Thiel has probably the toughest schedule. I believe they play 4 out of 1st five on road and their non-conference schedule consists of several playoff teams from a year ago.

I think Thomas More could be the surprise team in the PAC this year. They return alot of people and could knock off either Thiel or W&J.

Camp starts next week!

[AC24#724]

Thiel does have any interesting early away schedule and may be suspect for upset for they did lose some key playes in , QB, WR, defensive secondary and some key O lineman too. Geneva?  returns a good numbeR of players too.
As far as TM, they return alot of key playes on defense, but lose QB's and RB that has been there for last few years as their workhorse and new players on O-Line. they will be tested early in Thiel game
WJ, always consistant team in winning, they lose alot of key players from last years team (offense and defense)and their team(offense) will probably look a good bit difference from 40-50 passes a game. Firts game against Salisbury could prove interesting.
If you look closer at Waynesburg schedule, they play Wesley#7, Thiel#25, WJ#15, TM(votes)and also Wooster who also had some votes on D3 football on poll. They lose some key players as well from last years team.WR, DB.LB New turf this year, different look for some other teams too in conf.
Camp starts tomoorow for some teams I had heard and the teams that can stay the healthiest will prevail.
Should be about the most even (multiple teams, I say 4)the PAC has been in years.
Grove City returns alot of players also from last year too. New QB there should help out in that area.
THANKS FOR YOUR THOUGHTS PittTBCW

[SaintsFAN]

PITT,

I know EVERY team works hard in the off-season.  But what I am saying is you are going to see a visible difference in the team this year compared to last
