FB: Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference

[Adam Sayer]

This was last weekend. I was impressed by Alter in the sense that they play hard and play smart. They don't necessarily have athletes, they have football players. Hope that makes some kind of sense. Badin didn't play smart. They looked like youth kids trying to tackle, the QB missed open targets and the specialities were a joke.

[SaintsFAN]

Sayer,

We on for tomorrow?

Yes I know what you mean...Alter doesn't have anyone that stands out.  Back in the day I played against a RB (Mike Rose) who played LB at Purdue, Jerry Rudzinski at QB/LB who played LB at Ohio State, and Jay Tant TE who played at Northwestern.  I don't think they'll have talent like that again at Alter.

That Badin Coach has come under fire for the way he's doing things...if he continues to have teams not prepared to tackle and play special teams....his reign will be over soon.  Not to mention animosity towards him because he interviewed for the Mason job this past off season.  Many thought the Rams should have kept the search for a coach within the "Badin Family" when Coach Malone retired.

What time would you like to meet at The Pub? If you'd like to go somewhere else, that would be fine, just let me know and I'll be there.

[SaintsFAN]

I'll call you...

Since Purcell plays tomorrow, I went to the DP game. They lost to Wyoming 35-21. DP Went up 14-0 and then turned the ball over 5 straight times leading to 35 unanswered points. They had chances to rally but questionable play calling and clock management cost them big time from the 8:30 mark on. DP's head coach Barry Pettyjohn has been places in his career where I have not and will not ever go (i.e. NFL and NFL Europe) but you would never know it by his play selection and the way he calls his offense and makes adjustments. Example, Wyoming had a 6'6 WR and DP has a 6'4 kid who has experience playing DB. It  took Barry until the WR caught 4 big passes (2 TD's) before he lined up the kid who is 6'4 on him. He kept his 5'10 corners on him. Deer Park will be in for a rude awakening when Indian Hill starts throwing the ball all over the place. Pains me to say as much as I hate IH.

Hopefully my and JPC's Cavaliers will show up and play like they are capable tomorrow evening. They have a senior RT who has never played football before who I've took under my wing. He's getting better and the best part is he listens. You tell him to do something, he does it, even though most of the time he looks really goofy doing it. Nonetheless he listens and has gotten better every week. Hard worker too. I love those kind of kids. Purcell should start returning to form here in the next 2 years. They have solid talent in their Soph and Frosh classes.

Yo, any of you DC guys catching the DC/Manchester game? If DC keeps letting Manchester get in the red zone, pretty soon Manchester is going to get lucky and punch one in? DC ought to be up at least 21-Zip so far. They're letting manchester hang around and not getting the ball to Dillon enough. And V-man is still tossing the pill to the bad guys.

Beautiful down here in Florida. How's it up there today? God, I miss coming up to games.

Hometown football team now 5-0 as of last night. Last time they were 4-0, Tricky Dick was president. They came back on a drive last night with two minutes to play and won the game 23-21 against the number two ranked team in the conference. Still, I'd rather be at DC watching that game, even if it's not going so well. I think my plans to get up for a game have fallen through. Bunch of the guys off last year's team were down here last week hanging out with Richard. My grocery tab for four days (including all the oysters and other snacks) came to four hundred bucks.

I'd do it again tomorrow.

back from the game...homecoming at Thomas More, well Dixie Heights.

1.  Sayer doesn't look too bad in his Purcell "get up"...even JP said so.

2.  Warm beer for the alums?  WTF? 

3.  Thomas More plays hard for Coach Hilvert BUT, they are very, very young and the injury bug has depleted the Saints.  I know they won't make any excuses but its clearly affected the Saints.  Our freshman QB's will learn what to throw and what not to throw eventually.  I like the direction the team is headed in and wait until this staff gets a full year to recruit.  Though they play hard, the Saints need to play with a little more piss and vinegar. 

4.  If you told me that we'd have the injuries we have AND that we'd still be a competitive 2-2, I'd say I would take it.  But sounds like the PAC officials have tried to keep the Saints down.  Thats all I'll say about that one. 

5. Waynesburg has a tough RB, but take away a 67 yard run...and the Saints contained him.  Yeah I know...if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle.... 

6.  I still think TMC will be tough down the stretch this year against W&J and MSJ.  We need to keep the Bridge Bowl.


Stories were told about tepee and angrywhiteman....where the hell are you guys?

[SaintsFAN]

also, I took the advice of this page and let that girl from my past call me.  Sayer was there as she called before the game today.  I'll keep it updated with what I can here, I think. 

I should be seeing her next weekend..

[victorybell_57]

chicks make mistakes, they get confused, let her call you and be lighthearted. you may find she will do anything to seal the deal with you.

of course, if she is a whack job whore case, change your number and never talk to her again. it's about the law of the jungle.

[JacketsFan]

Florida's getting spanked by Auburn. 14-3 with ten minutes left in the third. Auburn has Tebow's number today and they keep dialing it.

[Adam Sayer]

I'm willing to say Colorado beating Oklahoma is the biggest upset in college football in 2007. Teams ranked 3, 4, 5, and 7 lost this week. OSU moving on up which scares me. If the do play in a big time bowl againt a big time team. It'll be Florida all over again. Cal looks legit even though the Ducks beat themselves with that late fumble.

SaintsFan looks alright considering he looks more like a guard than a QB. And the TMC alumni treated me great feeding me chicken wings and corndogs...as well as the warm beer. All for a highly respected MSJ grad

Purcell took it on the chin tonight 23-12. It was 17-12 at half and Badin tried every way they could to give the game to Purcell but Purcell refused to take it. I mean Badin was begging Purcell to beat them. Sometimes the bear gets you.

[tepee]

Saints Fan,

I knew hilverts guys would play hard for him it's only a matter of time before his team is a bunch of a**kickers.

Did any of the stories about me involve a certian offesive line coach that coached at both TMC and MSJ?

[SaintsFAN]

whoa, whoa, whoa....


well the comments definitely have had an effect on me.  I ran 2 miles this morning and I'm going to do the same at our workout facility at work.....6am with a guy I work with. 

I don't think I look like a guard....BUT I think people are used to seeing me with a six pack and stuff.  I'll start lifting again after my surgery. 

tepee,

we did tell some stories there.  One that I remember is you asking if a kids first name was damnit.

[SaintsFAN]

oh and Sayer.... I kind of told you when you go to Hamilton to "mess with the bull", you get the horns..

Hey Sayer and SaintsFAN:

Don't forget about South Florida.  While they won't be a powerhouse (at least for awhile), it is hard to believe they were DIII just 10-11 years ago when the program was started and before progressing then to DII, DI-AA before the current "big-time".
