That was kind of funny.  I mean, what does he benefit by even posting that?  And would a d3 position coach really be in the contention for a d3 head coaching job?

Saw Middlebury is advertising for a DC...Where did Steve Monniger go?

[amh63]

The Fall football schedules are coming out now.  Middlebury has announced its schedule on its athletic website.  On the NESCAC website under football, the conference schools schedules can be found when you roll down the "schedule" box.  Amherst starts with Bates this year.  I wanted to attend the Hamilton game in Clinton, but it is not to be this year.  Oh well, will have to attend a dull Ivy game when I go visit my daughter in Ithaca this Fall.

[Yarsan]

Here's a link to the schedule:
