Kickerdad,

Thanks for the input.  I have a son that plays for HSC and I too am confounded sometimes when teams seem to play less than their best against some teams.

[CNU85]

So does anyone know the status of Tunde and Matt this week?

There was an article in the Daily Press on the 24th. Doesn't really say much. Lots of words, though. And a stupid stat at the end of the piece.

[KEEPING IT REAL]

Yeah, your right.  It doesn't say much.  From what I saw look like one of the two is not coming back.  He got messed up realy bad.  Gutsy kid though.

I am heading for the Averett - W&L game tomorrow.  My daughter goes to Averett and it is homecoming.  Has anyone seen either team play this year?  I have only seen Hampden-Sydney games so far.  Will alot of rain impact the field at Averett?

Answer to both of your questions, yes.

Kickerdad got it right.  I saw AU's field about 3 years ago and wasn't impressed.  Granted, they could have made great improvements since, but I can see how rain would create significant problems (not to mention with it also being worn from soccer).  Averett's a decent team, but Guilford's probably not the best barometer this season - I was at the AU/GC game and thought AU was about 14 points better despite the 25-point margin.  I'd make the Cougars about a 10-point favorite over W&L at home, but a sloppy field can create strange bounces.

Really looking forward for Saturday. Will spend most of the day on CNU campus. Football at 1pm. Jeff Foxworthy at 9:30.

I wish they WOULD schedule Guilford and get this useless game with Southern Virginia off of the schedule. This is a pointless, and meaningless game, and can only hurt Ferrum. If Ferrum wins, it's not going to help them at all as they are an NAIA school. But if Ferrum gets a key player hurt...if they lose their QB for instance with NCW next week, then they shot themselves in the foot, win or lose. I would rather see them play a DII school than SoVA.  Oh well, its not something I can control.

85,
   Melinda Waldrop is her name! And she's also covering ODU I think too, so, Ill bet that's why she wasnt at the game last week and they sent a "correspondent" in her place instead. You are right tho, Jen Williams was the best and was always found on campus no matter the time of year. She was great for CNU and the beat coverage has gone south since her "awfulness" has been on the beat.

i'm thinking i might have 2-3 winners right

should be a sloppy field for the monarchs and wasps...hopefully reggie scales and cory mcguire can make the best of it...instead of watching the monarchs in the rain, i get to watch my daughter cheer for a rec-league football team in the rain...yeah [/sarcasm]
