It stinks that there is no Thiel game this week!!! What am I suppossed to do on Saturday's now?

There you go!  Get one or two little chocolate chips in your mouth, and now you want the WHOLE bag!!!

Pitt, I have many, many years of experience in what you're feeling today!

It's really lousy.  But I did warn you of its coming, if you recall.

Unfortunately, one (or even two) bite(s) of the apple isn't nearly enough!

It stinks that there is no Thiel game this week!!! What am I suppossed to do on Saturday's now?

OT alert:

Well, there is the #15 nationally ranked Thiel wrestling team at the RIT invitational this weekend.  In an interesting development Thiel just added assistant wrestling coach  Panayot Kirov - 1981 World Cup champ and 5th place finisher in 1980 Olympic games.  In Greenville, there is men's basketball still looking for its first win  against Liberty Bible at 3 pm.   Time to switch to d3hoops!

I did read all of the info on the website but the hour and half drive without a brother playing on either team seems out of the picture. My Dad wants to go to the dog track so I may entertain that possibility...if  not then I am sure I will be at the computer checking this website for some scores or possibly listening to a game or two.

Bob,

You were right it stinks when the road comes to an end but it was an enjoyable season. You never can settle for one or two cookies you definatly want to the whole bag!!!

And therein lies the difficulty with recognizing the work done by Kehres at Mt. Union.

"...expected to go undefeated and compete for the national title year in and year out."

Any coach that has his program in that condition ought not be excluded from consideration...

Yeah, I guess we can always consider Kehres.  So here's my consideration for Kehres this year.

On a smaller scale, Bridgewater fans make that argument for Mike Clark each year for ODAC Coach of the Year. 

Clark won the award this year, but he had two things on his side that Kehres doesn't for the national award.
1) Clark went undefeated in conference
2) The biggest surprise in the league was a .500 team.

1) Kehres' MUC has lost 1 more game than most people would have expected to this point in the season. (Will he even win the OAC COY?)
2) Other teams have performed higher than expectations, with similar results to MUC.

So, having considered the easiest criteria for voters who don't have an inside scoop on the changing dynamics of each program, unless MUC wins the title, I'd rule Kehres out for this year's NCOY.

I'd also suggest another name that hasn't been mentioned for it yet.  If (and it's a big IF) Del Valley wins 2 more games, Mangus would be a very strong candidate for the award.

I imagine we ought to add Mike Drass at Welsey to the list of candidates...

After Saturday, I'm a believer!

Drass was on Pat's list.  Discussion here has revolved around whether Thiel's coach should be on the list.

[PittTBCW]

I hear that Leip got coach of the year in the region. I think this would put him on the National list. I also think Wesley's coach should be considered as well. He has done a fine job minus the blemish vs Brockport St this year.

[PittTBCW]

Congrats to Coach Leip on being selected as one of the 5 regional coach's of the year!!! Great Job this season was rewarded!!!

Also congrats to the other winners!

Do you really think a 47-0 rout is simply a blemish?

[Ron Boerger]

Whatever it is, the man (Mike Drass) got the team turned around and after dominating several highly-regarded playoff opponents they are playing in the national semis on Saturday.  I think he should be in the mix for national coach of the year. 

[Bob.Gregg]

BFB, I highly concur.

How anybody could exclude Drass at this point is difficult to understand--blemish or blowup!

I just can't bring myself to pick them to win Saturday.  Something about a team losing 47-0 to a .500 ballclub.  I'm not sure exactly what it is though!!!

[Olinemom]

Congrats to the Thiel Coach Leip for Regional Coach of the Year!!  You and your staff have really turned the program around!  I enjoyed the hospitality you showed when we were there.

Congrats Coach Leip

Without a Doubt!!!

I guess your right a 47-0 loss in not a blemish...just a terrible day...must have been really bad with the way they are rolling now! Wesley wins this week I think he is a lock for COY honors!!!

[pakownr97]

What Olinemom said.  Congrats to Thiel's Regional Coach of the Year.  See you guys in the playoffs next year...at Bridgewater this time.

[PittTBCW]

Congrats to B.Chambers for being Co Offensive Player of the Year in the south region this year!....Along with Chambers Minton, Hendricks, and Thompson were all region selections from the south region from Thiel College.

Congrats to the other PAC players who were selected to the All region South Team!!!
