FB: Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference

[Pat Coleman]

I dont doubt the range in topics. but to talk about strip clubs over and over again is annoying.

And kinda not family friendly.

[SaintsFAN]

haha..
seriously outrageous!

honestly, you usually have to wait until summer practice, Lionsden.  Unless we get some of the Franklin braggart wagon-riders from last year, this place will be boring until then.

Its mostly because some of us have met outside of here, but this board is pretty chill for the most part.

And you're right Pat, not family friendly.  Does that mean you are in?

[M and L]

Oh, I'm sure Pat has a wild side!  Besides, I beat he doesn't spend all of his time in front of the computer on these chat boards 

I will say that the Giants really don't stand much of a chance.  But will say this.  If Manning can play smart ball the way he has through the playoffs then the defense will do their thing and pressure Tom Brady.  Then maybe, just maybe they can keep to a one score ball game.

I don't see NE covering the spread this week

[KYGrizzly]

I like the Giants getting 13 points too. But I am worried about giving Coach "B" two weeks to work on a scheme to shut them down.

Saints Fan, you know your not going to find to many Grizzlies around this time of year, by natures call they are all Hibernating.

[LionsDen]

well i agree that giving coach B two weeks to prepare for New York is deadly. However with that said, The Giants have done something even the Patriots havnt done and that is win 10 Straight road games. NE only played 8 in regular season and NYG played their eight going 7-1 and winning the last three road playoff games. 10-0 in last 10. I guess the Giants are happy they have been designated the road team for the big dance!

Yeah the Patriots are 18-0 and one of the greatest teams of all time. But they are due for a slip up. They played the number 5 seed at home and the 3 seed at home. The Giants went on the road and beat the 4 seed, beat the 1 seed and beat the 2 seed. I think that is very impressive. Now can they win, we will see sunday. If Eli plays mistake free and the NYG can contain Moss/Welker and Maroney then i see an upset in the works. Granted i am not Plaxico but my prediction is similar. NYG 34 NE 27.

Lions: Then that means you will be more than happy to give me New England and six.

[dc_has_been]

The only way I can see it close is if NY can get pressure on Brady.  But if that happens New England will go to their dump off game which will just eat up the clock & NY.  New England would just have to completely break down in order to lose this game.  They can go long, short, or pound the ball through the middle.  Also, what about Stallworth, LionsDen?   
I still stand at NE by 14.

You're right Grizz....but you also have to agree, that should FC slip early on next year....the number of those posters will decrease sharply..


has_been,

14?!  I'll take it.  Giants +14 is easy street...

Can't argue with that, look what happened to the Hanover posters.

[SaintsFAN]

Yep...its been that way forever.  BUT, with the way the new Franklin guys came on, not counting yourself and victorybell, the reminded me of the rude-ass Hanover posts from a few years back. 

Some constants around here:

Defiance will always suck, I mean work hard (the sucking has been done by the Beavers---and I'm not referencing anything from before in ANY way)

Thomas More will never be in the HCAC as long as the old witch stays in power in Delhi. 

Manchester will always be called Manchester United for obvious reasons. 

Mount St. Joe will always have Sayer as a poster on here. 

[Adam Sayer]

Macke, I knew about that job a while ago. The 7th grade Math teacher had diabetes and died over Christmas Break. She was my cooperating teacher during student teaching. The Park also has 2 positions opening up in grades 5 and 6. If anyone is interested and has a teaching degree...knock yourselves out. I'm not interested.

About the Super Bowl.
1. I think the Giants do have a shot. They have the best DL in football and Strahand and Umenyiora can flat out get to the QB. They will have to for NY to win. Tom Brady isnt a moble QB and if the ankle thing is true, it will keep him in the pocket more. I do think NY has a chance but they have to play lights out on the D-front and get to Tom Brady. Even if they don't get the sack, continous hits and pressure can disrupt that passing game. If they can do this, they'll be able to drop 7 in coverage and cause some problems.
2. The new MSJ guy listed the teams NY beat on their way to the Super Bowl. That's irrelevant. The NFC is overall a weaker conference. The Packers and Cowboys, at the end of the year, wern't better than the Colts, Jaguars, or Patriots. Even the Chargers before the injuries were a very hot team winning their last 6 games and 10 of their last 12.

SaintsFan, one of these days Sayer will hopefully be a college man and when that day comes, I will no longer be a MSJ supported on D3football.com...just in telephone calls and interviews 8)

I think it should say, Defiance will have their ups & downs having 4 winning seasons (HCAC championship in 01) & three losing seasons in the 2000's.

Thomas More a.k.a. SaintsFan will always be bitter that they never got into the HCAC for football.

Just my opinion.   

On regards to the posters from other schools, it would be great to have them stay instead of come & go like they do.

[SaintsFAN]

you're right, has_been....I'll be bitter UNTIL Thomas More gains acceptance into the HCAC.  I know the school isn't bitter....its in a better football conference now.  Period.  Lots of travel, but they like the PAC.  Travel would be a reason for a switch to the growing HCAC.  Now----One of our obstacles has retired....waiting on the other shoe to drop.

Sayer, I believe you...thats why you have no interest in teaching at the Park huh?

[dc_has_been]

I'm still confused why they brought in Trany & not TMC???  I know acceptance into the HCAC is not based upon football, but for TMC to be so close & have a football program like everyone else, it only makes sense.  Even though I always bring it up to try to mess w/ you.  I do agree w/ you completly for TMC to part of the HCAC.

[LionsDen]

you know stallworth is a great player but I dont think he frightens teams like moss and welker do. As for saying the Afc is better I agree with you but it doesnt matter when your on the road and in those conditions! They beat afc teams on the road as well and should of beat the patriots the first time! If Brady starts to feel uncomfortable back there and the giants force turnovers then they have to score 7 off turnovers unlike the chargers. Chargers had a hell of a shot but settled for 3 instead of 7. I'm still taking the underdog in this one.
