FB: Midwest Conference

[blu thru n thru]

Thanks man!  Kind of an emotional night.  We're excited, but Jamie's the last to leave the nest.  This board and the enthusiasm for the conference and D3 football it has provided, has really got us pumped.  Good luck to SNC this year (with the same caviat as offered the Redhawks).

Enjoy every minute of your son's college football career.  Trust me, it will be over in the blink of an eye.  

Kinda like high school. Where'd that go? My daughter graduates from UT this Dec. Seems like yesterday I was making this same trip to Austin. Update: We're in Arkansas. See y'all soon.

And make sure you purchase Kickoff so you can get a handle on what the rest of Division III football looks like this year.

Just did. Thanks for the reminder Pat.

ok Monmouth College insiders- how are the respective units going to compare to last year? I know the o-line is losing some key individuals, and the d-line is losing a couple of ends and Wells from the backfield. Hopefully there are some capable replacements  ready to step in.  The linebackers seem solid. The two main concerns I have is pass protection and stopping the run.  MC's run defense wasn't good in the playoff game albeit against a pretty big line.  Any thoughts?

Okay, IC insiders...  Oh, wait, there don't appear to be any.    I guess I'm it!  For now!  But beware, 8.12.10 marks a new dawn for IC football!  Blueboy Nation, or should I say "Domi-Nation" is on taking shape.  Did I ever tell you the one about OU and Bob Stoops?  God, I love this time of year!  Best of luck to all this season!  Oh yeah, we made it to St. Louis. Is it always this cool in the summer?  Where's the humidity?

Depspite your ommission of IC from the top 25, I have suspended my boycott of your publication, and made the purchase.   I look forward to the 24th...  Thanks in advance, Jim

Hey Blu while you are in the St. Louis area don't forget to drive around East St. Louis in the great state of Illinois and take in all the sights. Some of Illinois best high school teams of your era came from there.
