I believe that TMC will win their conference and earn a playoff spot.  They are VERY good.  Tarrant is a total stud.  I sat right on the sideline and I can tell you that the Saints defense was totally gassed in the 4th quarter.  The Grizzly offense really picked up the pace in the second half.

Big game this week.  Wonder if a coach will get on here to take a shot at a player he'd like to have?  Or maybe one can explain the movement to oust TMC from the PAC because of the success the school in KY has had in all sports? 

Lots of motivation this week.  Wish I could be there.

Whence come rumors of move to oust TMC?

Geography could also be a reason.

Never heard that rumor.

Anybody got a link?

There isn't a link.  It's a clandestine operation; or was supposed to be.

That's not it, but will be the stated reason.   Thomas More has done quite well in athletics in the PAC, check it out.  They've helped raise the profile of the PAC in football.  Before, it was W&J and then everyone else.  Now, look at the 5 who have a shot at the PAC title this season. 

Hopefully the boys in blue play well enough to not have any zebra-intervention hurt the kids. 

Go Saints

Looking forward to going to Cincinnati this weekend. Dinner Friday at Bocca with #2 son to celebrate his parents wedding anniversary, then to the game on Saturday. Hope it is a good one.

Or maybe one can explain the movement to oust TMC from the PAC because of the success the school in KY has had in all sports? 

Saints Fan,

It looks like TMC has made a major commitment (eg: 16 football coaches, over 70 new recruits, national title in women's basketball, and others) to becoming highly competitive across the board in athletics, and clearly it is bearing fruit. Assuming they are following NCAA and PAC rules/policies (and I have no reason to think otherwise), that is clearly their prerogative. I know W&J has won the men's PAC all sports trophy consistently over the past 10 years and athletics has strong support from alumni and the administration. I'm not aware of any move to "break up the Presidents" or throw them out of The President's Athletic Conference because of that success.

So, unless there are some facts, I guess we have to take this for what it is - pure speculation.

Saints Fan,

I assume this is referring to Tarrent, the DI Ohio U transfer who is proving to be dominating in D3. I know he had some issues, but again if his transfer to TMC was kosher, so what? TMC was willing to give him a second chance and I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. TMC also had Sydney Moss, who was an SEC player at Florida before transferring to TMC where she led the TMC women to a national title last season (thank goodness she is gone!).

Fifteen years ago, there was a lot of smack on the PAC Board and some of it did, indeed, come from coaches. Given what I've seen here the last few years, I doubt any coaches (or players, for that matter) follow/contribute anything any more.

It was "a" coach who posted about him last year.  That's the "so what".  Pat even responded to him.

Furthermore, I can say it's not speculation. 

BTW: it was 2 straight National Titles
Have a safe trip.

Preview of the big game:

I like Thomas More at home to take care of the ball and draw on their experience vs Franklin in the opener.  I think the fact W&J hasn't played a four quarter game could factor in as well, unless they blow the doors off of Thomas More like they did in 2013 and 2014 at their place.

I doubt any are really needed. That's a mismatch.

I have two: 
1.  The concession stand will run out of hot dogs in the 3rd Quarter. 
2.  Case will score more points in the first half than they did on September 10th.
