At 43.1 yards per punt, Guilford's Tyler Hunt finished 1st in DIII and now holds the Guilford and ODAC records.  Among other things, Tyler had 81- and 76-yard punts this season.

Hope everyone is enjoying walking to where ever you walk in the morning with snow hitting your a%%. OMG we got another foot. I am having withdrawals but I did see the Nationals and Americans play to night in South Carolina....Usually SC types with outher thrown in. Only 2 years old. There were 2 football teams and about 11000 scounts

Good point, tfa, most of them probably came against the Tigers!

Don't remember the stats but I don't think GC had many first downs against HSC.

Guilford had 7 First Downs and 7 Punts versus 26 First Downs and 1 Punt for Hampden-Sydney.   Pretty much what you'd expect in a 52-0 smackdown.

I knew it was lopsided but thats history and on to the 2014 season. We look forward to hosting the Quakers.

On another note, good luck to your Quakers in the odac tourney this weekend. Hopefully there be many fun games to watch.

Yeesh. One kid on record could be spilt milk, or the tip of an iceberg. Have to see if the NCAA turns anything else up. Given the state of the NCAA enforcement division, I'm not counting on them finding anything, and hopefully nothing actually went on. If it did, all I can say is E&H did not get value for their money...

First, that's a really good piece of student journalism.  Second, whoa.  Connect the dots...coach resigns just before this stuff drops, all parties- coaches, administrators, trustees- aren't defensive in any way or even giving a hint that the student-athlete's story is false...lot of smoke here.  This dirt's gonna stick.

My opinion leans that way too Wally. And as a former sports editor I can appreciate the story, but it is one kid so far who seems to have justifications to be annoyed with E&H (refund scholarship money and credit issue). And the NCAA is... understaffed? Ineffective? Overwhelmed? Ludicrously unable to do their job? In other words, I have little faith in the NCAA right now. Finally, I stand by my very last sentence. But yes, I agree, this does not look good for E&H.

E&H could not be cheating and still be as bad as they are, could they ? It was all just a miss understanding I'm sure.

What kinds of sanctions are you really going to levy on a D-III school?  You can't take scholarships.  About the only thing you can do is scold the administration and give a postseason ban.  If the former HC and OC here did in fact do some very non-D3 things in the recruitment of this player (and maybe others...hard to believe that it's just one kid, but then again I don't know how many other FCS transfers EH is chasing down), then you hit the coaches with a show cause and E&H imposes a 2-3 year postseason ban.  Take the medicine and move on.

I agree with all of that. The only thing I'll say is the NCAA, at this point, essentially needs the school or the people involved to confess. I just don't think they have the ability, the reputation, or the credentials, to actually investigate anything. So yes, if the school did it there isn't much the NCAA can do, BUT I don't really feel the NCAA has much chance of finding out if they actually did it, either. That's just my very low opinion of the NCAA these days.
