Well - after reading several of the responses to my media day observations, I'm glad to learn that there are several individuals on the board have the time to actually time how long a particular coach spoke (I guess it just seemed like 20 minutes)

Yes it is an extremely complicated process of looking at the time when he starts then going to the part of the feed where it ends and subtracting...

BAtteredBard,

A quick start is needed, but that is not going to be easy. Look at the frst two games of the year....ouch!!! I knew there were a ton of injuries in 09, I just didn't realize there were 12 season ending injuries to key players. It's good to hear 75 players are expected to return and many who started games. Also good to hear this is CNU's largest senior class. There's a lot of work to be done between August 11th and the home opener against Wesley (#3 in a pre-season poll??) on Sept 4th. All I ask is for a birthday victory in week 2 against Salisbury!!

who else besides Legister? Also, did anyone catch that very small comment at media day by Kelchner....."a transfer situation"....and if I remember correctly he was referring to an incoming transfer and maybe even RB.

Legister left CNU??

From waht I hear, a whole lot of guys left from last year. It's going to be tuff this year. I say 2-8. After the wesley game they will loose alot more. I always thought CNU should go Div2 or maybe Div 1AA. Get a rivalry with ODU and expand their stadium. If CNU does that they will get some great players out that area and have a powerhouse. Just a thought.

2-8 in D3 and they should go D2 (where there are very few options) or d1AA? wow. Can't even respond to that comment.

There is no need. Tell me why you think 2-8 is to far fetch.

5-5 last year.....75 returning players.....125 in camp. last yr 12 season ending injuries....13 if you count Tunde....he as hurt from game 1....by game 3 a true Fr was playing qb......this year is most experienced team in CNU history....largest senior class on team. Long has been cleared to play. If he was healthy all year last year, we go 7-3.

all of that stuff happened last year and yet still went 5-5. I doubt (hope) injuries don't happen like that again.....so, 2-8 is WAY far fetched.

CNU85 · August 07, 2010, 10:03:03 PM

KEEPING IT REAL · August 07, 2010, 11:26:02 PM

a COUPLE OF CORNERS LEFT TOO.

ProudFightingScot · August 08, 2010, 06:16:21 PM

Just got on the USA-South new website and saw that Maryville is not even listed on the home page with the rest of the conference schools!!! When you click to each logo it links up to the school's website. You can't do this for Maryville. The only mention about Maryville is when it is listed as an affiliate school. The old website had MC's logo with the rest of conference's schools.

So the website home page does not promote Maryville College, but has a picture and story about football Media Day at MC and has WR Wesley Idlette promoting good sportsmanship on its Sportmanship Video Campaign. Who is NOT promoting good sportsmanship.....

It seems like the conference continues to do things to slight MC. I hope someone at MC starts making some phone calls to the commisioner's office on Monday!!!!!!!!!!!
