FB: Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference

Adam, how far a drive is it from Columbus to Cincy? I can catch a cheap flight on Sky Bus if I still have time to get a reservation. I'd really like to come up if I can swing it. I just don't know if I can.

[dc_has_been]

True dedication JacketsFan!  I looked up prices from LA to Cincy & they were just above $800!, & that isn't much of a difference when I checked a few weeks ago.  I think I'll just book a flight for next years game at DC today & see if I can get a better price.
70dcalum- nice analysis.  Could be a very fast game if these two run the ball the majority of the game.

Drive from Columbus Airport to MSJ would take about 2 hours.

And othe than Cabonney no one else thinks anything about the way the HCAC has stacked up against conferences this year?

Has Been you cant fly into Cincy it is a minimum of 800 bucks regardless of how soon you book it.  i am flying to nashville tonight from Cincy and it was 850 bucks.  Dayton is not very good anymore.  go through Columbus...skybus and southwest make C-bus dirt cheap

JacaketsFan let me know, i will be heading to the game with my father in law

is the game at MSJ?

with all the d3.com guys from in here going to be there, I just might try to make it. 


Sayer?

Joe,

Also take a look at AirTran - postings on their website last night have flights from Atlanta into Dayton, not many restrictions, at $79 each way - and, it's a shorter drive to Delphi from Dayton down 75.  Just a thought.  I'd join you if not a previous engagement in Naptown that evening...

you guys roll into Dayton just let me know i am 20 min from there and we can make it a road trip.

Nice thought, Ben.  You'd have to change your current auto stock from Pampers to Depends and Oxygen Bottles to accomodate two, ancient and bilious gas bags.  The seats aren't cloth upholstery, are they?

Since we are talking about driving to MSJ, I hope the game is there

I have my GRE's in the morning so I won't be getting to MSj until 12:30/1:00.

Well, the conference as a whole is actually behind where they were last year.  The HCAC was 13-11 in the 2006 regular season non-conference schedule.  So far, they are 11-12 with the Bridge Bowl remaining on the schedule.

That said, there have been some very good individual games in the "top 3."  Unfortunately, Franklin's two point loss to Wabash takes them out of Pool C contention and might cost them a home game in week 12, but that loss (and last year's win) certainly gives them confidence that they can go nose-to-nose with almost anybody in the country.  Defiance beat Otterbein by two in the mud in the middle of the night in Westerville.  It is not out of the question that Ott could run the rest of their schedule and finish 7-3 and in a tie for 2nd in the OAC.

MSJ is the only team with a shot at Pool C.  But to do it, they have to win out and root for TMC and Illinois Wesleyan for the next couple weeks.  Mr. Ypsi mentioned that a Wheaton loss to IWU steals a Pool C bid, but I'm not so sure.  The common opponent criteria goes in MSJ's favor, right?  To be safe though, I think MSJ should probably root for Wheaton that week.

I don't think that's a problem.  I believe the game is scheduled for 4:00.

Is it on ESPN or something?

[dc_has_been]

I think the HCAC is a much stronger conference now than what it was a few years back.  In the past I've expected an early exit from the playoffs, now I feel that who ever it is that goes will have a chance to compete. 
On regards to who goes to represent the HCAC will be determined in the next few weeks making this season an exciting won again.
70dcalum- if you can on Saturday give me a call and update me on what is happening.  I have been unable to get the DC feed from my computer.

[Adam Sayer]

Sure it matters. My GRE's mean less drink time. Plus the Halloween parties that night 

One of my kids told me this joke today. It's clever. How come ghosts can't have any babies? Because they have Hollow-weenies . I thought it was hysterical.

Gotcha. . . .

ok, joke is on you next time.  I don't know which one will be with me, but I am planning to be there. . .
