FB: Presidents' Athletic Conference

[footballfan12]

Some valid points, Burghboy.

I still think W&J football is where it needs to be. I find it hilarious that an alumni (I am guessing) is complaining about a program that averages 10 wins a season and is one of the top two programs every year in the conference.

But, you obviously call them as you see them.

Anway, any predictions for this weekend, and how good is TMC this year? St. Vincents seems to be ready to win a PAC game.

You are entitled to your opinion, and can see how you would disagree with me.   I'm sure many at the college are also satisfied with having a 'winning program', including alums that just enjoy an afternoon at College Field and watch them pick apart the St. Vincent's, Bethany's, etc.   You seem to be that type, and nothing wrong with that.

To me and others that may have been more invested or involved with the program, we see it much different.  It's clearly not as good of a program as it used to be.  I guess it all depends on what your expectations are.

I'm proud that TMC didn't get caught looking ahead today and Hilvert has the boys humming already this year.  Haydon, the freshman RB, had four more TD's giving him 9 in two games... Owens had a PR TD.. 

Big showdown next weekend in KY.

listened in on the W & J game radio on the web.  Sounded like they were laying it to Bethany.  Very beginning of the second quarter and up by 4 scores!!!

Probably tough going for any team playing the Presidents after last weeks loss to Del Val

Anyone see Waynesburg Thiel today?

How's the Yellow Jackets looking?

[Frank Rossi]

My condolences to the Thiel family on their loss of Louis Giuntini this weekend.  There may be over 15,000 players and staff members affiliated with Division III teams, but such a loss is never easy to swallow no matter how much or how little contact you have with an affected program.  We are all a big family in our unselfish love of football, and a death in our family causes us all to have to step back and put everything into perspective.

Please be strong and keep his memory alive, as Louis sounded like a great individual and even greater teammate.

I would also like to say my thoughts and prayers go out to the Thiel community. It's never easy to lose a brother and a promising young man.  All the best as you go through these tough times.

Was thinking last night that it's been kinda quiet in here, particularly with the upcoming W&J at TMC game.

Then, it occurred to me, "Why wouldn't it be quiet?  Thomas More hasn't show any interest in giving up the PAC title that they've held the last two years."

"Why would W&J have much to say? They've lost on the road to the Saints, they've lost at home to the Saints.  They've been embarrassed in each of their past two road games (at Mount, at DelVal)."

Hopefully, I'm not driving five hours Saturday to witness another such event!  Time will tell.

Me thinks the Presidents show up big time on Saturday... its going to be a 4th Quarter event like last year... and the year before

Since when is 5'10" 215 lbs with 4.5 40 speed, too small and slow to play D-I or I-AA??

thats exactly what I was thinking... this is like when Will Castleberry "slipped through the cracks", after his offer to Eastern Michigan fell through.

He's a 4.75 guy tops. That's why he slipped. Closer to 5' 9'' also...
He could have still played FB on some D1 teams as he plays with heart.

TMC has a keeper though, no doubt.
I'd like to say that this would be a great game to watch today, but I don;t think it will be unless W&J puts 9 in the box all day.


TMC 27
W&J 10

Been out of town.  Belated thoughts and prayers to the Thiel community.

Listening to the game, 17-7 TMC early in the second quarter.  Defense sounds like it's played well under the circumstances the offense is putting them in. 

[the_burghboy]

Maybe I should stay online.   

Quick response by the offense finally, 17-14.
