Anyone know what the scoop at Grinnell is? Have they begun interviews? Who is in the mix?

This is a active board?

Not very much so during the off-season unfortunately.

That being said, are there any Grinnell posters that have any info to pass along?

[Maverick]

Well it's now been a month between posts.  

Anyone alive out there with anything to comment on??

Talk about this has been going on for over a year on this site in the General Division III Issues board with Future of Division III thread

Grinnell finally hired a new coach...anyone know anything about him?

Grinnell finally hired a new coach...anyone know anything about him?

From the story that is on the MWC website, it sounds as if he has a solid offensive reputation as a coach.  But the question that has plagued the Pioneers still remains...can they get it done on defense and actually stop anyone from scoring?

In other news, congrats to former MC Fighting Scot Mitch Tanney on signing with the Tampa Bay Storm of the Arena Football League.  That's a nice step up from playing last year for the Alabama Steeldogs of the af2.

That is definitely impressive. Arena1 is a big deal. Congrats!

Can anyone tell me:1 the last season the Maroons played in the MWC & 2. Why they left?

It seems that UC and the MWC are a perfect fit and would help to lead to going back to the old 12 team format and a conference championship game--something I would really want to see.

Rome I cannot tell you last time UC played someone in the MWC, however there was talk a few years back when I played in the MWC about expanding the league again - however most of the teams that were mentioned are now in a new conference so I don't see that happening.

rome - The last season that U-Chicago was in the MWC was 1986, but I don't know what the reason was for them leaving the conference.  I think the current set-up for the MWC is just fine: 10 teams, you play everyone each season, and whoever comes out of all those games is the champ; plus it allows for teams to play a non-conference game as well each year.

Lake Forest lost 34-3 to  UC in 2001, but if they(UC) leave that conf. they are left with only 3 teams.

President J. Burris has resigned at Beloit--could this mean a return to an athletic commitment not seen since the 90s....in D3 the President means everything and one that approves of the benefits athletics brings to a campus will help a school like Beloit----I hope good things are coming....
