Yeah, AU vs BC may be the season opener, as we'll look to replace McDaniel after this season.

Should be a good game, we visited Bridgewater and my son was accepted there but Coach Clark told us that he had a kicker and it may be another year before my son would be albe to play. He wanted to play right away and Averett gave him that chance. But I liked Bridgwater's campus and was very impressed with their tradition and program.

Any news on who is going to fill the OC position at W&L?

With the exception information of their coachs leaving, their web site is as quiet as a church mouse.

What, you can't find anything over on www.wandlfootball.com? :)

I'm surprised no Tiger fans have posted this, but H-SC released their 2007 recruiting class last week:

http://www2.hsc.edu/athletics/football/2007/news_releases/07recruits.html

Nearly a third of them are defensive linemen, only one QB, three receivers, and no tight ends.

Thanks Kid, that was interesting. 8)  I think it's cool of H-S to do that (mutter, mutter). ;D

Looks like the rich getting richer to me. ;)

lol ... what would this board be without you?! :)

In all honesty, congrats to the W&L women's tennis team on the national championship!  Any time an ODAC school wins a NCAA title we should all celebrate it, no matter what sport it is.  Quite an accomplishment!

W&L had an open date posted so it probably was waiting to complete its schedule before releasing one.

I echo this sentiment.  Congrats to the Gennies. 8)

The Daily News-Record reported this today:

Clark Adds Defense to His Duties

Article: http://www.dnronline.com/sports_details.php?AID=10623&CHID=3

Lots of new coaches mentioned and shifting of responsibilities.  Should be an interesting season!

More improvements to BC football coverage.

  We have obtained photos of the beta unit for "Kid" to use this fall, a "portable computer"!!

Admittedly it has been quiet on the boards lately, so here we go..........

Well, I saw this article on www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com and it reminded me of my rant about admissions standards and its effect on the football recruiting pool.  To back up my thesis, I bring you Jim Harbaugh:

http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2007/06/05/can-jim-harbaugh-win-against-stanford-admissions/

Now, I know most of you think W&L grads are, how was it phrased on this board at one time? "Windbags and Lawyers" and the comment to the effect that that is redundant.  One has only to review this year's ratings by U.S. News and World Reports College Rankings http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/t1libartco_brief.php
and difficulty of W&L's admissions standards to appreciate what the football staff at W&L accomplished this past season.

And in my perverse little world, that makes the General's 2006 Football Championship even greater!

:D

Actually, I was glad to see W&L win it last year, especially after all of the tough seasons they had in the '90s.  ODAC football has been ascendent on the other side of the mountains for the past six years, and it's been interesting to watch.

What hasn't been interesting (or at least "interesting" in a good way), has been the descendent movement of the program in Ashland.  I've watched this development in relative silence for the past five years, saying very little in the way of criticism.  I don't know if I'll be able to continue it this year if we mount another dismal campaign.

Please note my expectations aren't unrealistic.  I'd like to think we could go at least 5-5 (I can't believe I just said that).  But I'll take 1-9 as long as that 1 comes against those TIGERS. ;D
