FB: Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference

[SaintsFAN]

you're right...7-3 is not correct. 

that would assume an HCAC team besides Franklin will rise up and beat them this year.  But with Defiance losing their QB and all-everything WR...not a chance. 

We'll see about getting over the hump...you'd think in previous years, they would have done it with better teams. 

BTW, I hope its not Mooshiegan or however you spell it.  In fact, someone on the PAC page came on there and said it wasn't. 

[LionsDen]

It is Mooshegian, I did research on him as well as ask around the coaching staff. He played 2 years at Sacramento State and started at wide receiver. He then left Sacramento State and red shirted this past season. Not sure on the reasons why, family issues maybe. He was going to transfer to Cal Lutheran, a D3 school in southern California after he left Sacramento state but he decided to go to a Junior College and red shirt. He is about 5'11-6foot, 190 LBS, good sized kid with great hands. The only thing I'm worried about is his attitude. If he can come to MSJ and keep his mouth shut and just play and work hard then MSJ is getting a All Conference and maybe ALL AMERICAN WR. He was All conference In the Big Sky as a true freshman. Impressive. We will see how he pans out. I am looking forward to watching him compete at MSJ.

[SaintsFAN]

thats exactly what I mean.  If you guys have another Rashon Lewis there, then your team is in deep, deep do-do. 

Thats exactly what the rumor was when he was looking to transfer out of Sac St. last year..

I hope its wrong, because I'd hate to see Huber go through that twice..

Does anyone have anything else to add besides HCAC talk?  This stuff is boring in March..

If this kid is so good, why is he transferring to MSJ?  Why not DI or DII school?
On regards to taking NCAA III by storm, I would agree MSJ is going to field another good team this year, but they'll have a lot to prove to be a DIII contender.  They have to first knock of Franklin and regain that crown before even worring about being a contender.
SaintsFan- very good point about DC.  It has me worring some about what kind of team they'll put on the field this year.  Hopefully someone in the QB postion will step up & do some damage. At least they open up against Muskingum who they should be able to beat & allow the new QB to get their feet wet.

I guess his girlfriend lives in Cincinnati. That might be the decision he isnt going to a D1 or 2 school. Heard he was offered out of High school to Akron. Also offered by D2 Chadron State after he left Sacramento. Guess him and his GF are pretty serious then.

[Superfoot Wallace]

The Sacramento State player had one blowup, and as far as can tell, that's it.  Happened in the course of a hot game, and if you play the foosbah long enough is bound to happen.

As for leaving Sacramento State, his pops was the head coach during his time there and his exodus coincides with both moving on from that school.

Should think that bit of trivia bodes well as coaches sons, whether high school or college, tend to have a little extra polish to their game.

Franklin has seen a transfer running back transition to wide receiver, and wouldn't be surprised to see maybe a little of the vice versa situation with the aforementioned transfer wide receiver.  Think he will be a stubborn and tenacious blocker as a wide receiver as this was the scenario of the blowup if recall correctly.

As for a girlfriend in Cincinatti, hopefully this isn't a distraction.  Women can weaken legs or they can be an inspiration.  Here's a vote for the muse.  Just leave all the, "I'm a Division 1 all conference player" - baggage in Sacramento and be as blue collar and good a teammate as can be.  The little things, like blocking wide receivers, are how championships are won.

Yeah I saw that as well, one blowup is bound to happen in the course of battle. From what I have heard he is a tremendous blocker. I saw his highlight tape. He blocked Boise State starting saftey Marty Tadman into the ground! Should make for an interesting year in the HCAC

[Adam Sayer]

Kevin, I never said MSJ was going to get away from running the ball, but the offense has the most experience comming back due to injuries last year and the youth that had to play and will have to carry the team at times.

MSJ has added Lakeland (IBC) to their schedule. Lakeland hasn't had a losing season since 2001 and 4 of the last 5 years has finished 1st or 2nd in the IBC. The IBC has been a worse conference than the HCAC the last couple of years, but MSJ has to travel to Wisconsin. Lakeland, Franklin, and TMC will be MSJ's big tests this year. 7-3 is a possibility since no other team this year poses a legitimate threat as well as 10-0.

MSJ was a fumbled TD away from possibly beating Franklin last year and finishing 10-0. That game will be another all out fist fight. I think MSJ is slightly better than TMC...another fist fight and I don't really know about Lakeland other than the fact, they do decent in a decent conference.

Leave it in California.

Or Idaho, or wherever.

Football's still a game of what have you done for me lately.

I'm not disagreeing with you! I feel the same way! I'm sure he will leave it all and come into MSJ with a good attitude. We will see. As for me I was just saying what I saw.

[SaintsFAN]

FYI,

Marty Turdman said he slipped on that play...

Enjoy the snow.

See you in Church, Adam

Sorry to beat a
dead horse w/ a stick, but I hope you aren't saying that b/c of this kid it will make it an interesting year in the HCAC.  At this point I'm expecting this kid to be an all american before he even plays a snap at MSJ. 

Sayer- it is good to see that MSJ added another solid nonconference opponent to their schedule.  I would have liked to see DC do the same, but as I mentioned before adding Muskingum to the schedule didn't really improve them as a team. 

[LionsDen]

I was saying the competition will be interesting to watch in the HCAC. Should make for a great season. I am Bias towards MSJ but i do love watching them compete and bust their butts for 60 min against a worthy opponent.

All American or not, should help the team.

[Adam Sayer]

This snow is crazy. I don't ever remember seeing this much since I've been alive. back in 3rd or 4th grade, we got like 8-9 inches and the trees were coated in ice, but we have about 8-9 inches now and it's still snowing like crazy. I spent 2 hours shoveling last night to give myself a chance to get out and about...shouldn't have even worried about it.

I pancaked a DIII All-American on 4th and 1 and we got the first running over my backside...who cares. Come in, be a cog in the offense and make it more efficient...that's what being successful and good NOW is all about.


Kevin, my buddy still plays in the Flag football leagues out in Fairfield. They have a WR, who was on the Bills practice squad last year. Where they found him...I have no clue, but I played with them a few weeks back and got to see one of the best catches ever. He jumped about 35 inches in the air and palmed the ball in double coverage. It was sick. All this talk of WR's made me think of it. You get some pretty good football players in the CCFL, even in the lower divisions. There are about 5 who I played with during my brief time with The Marshals.

Sayer:

All of us "old guys" remember this kind of winter.  This one is like the old fashioned mid-West winters (and in Michigan) that we always had.  We've all gotten spoiled by the lighter winters of recent years.  However, as a kid, I remember the horrible winter blizzards of 1967, and later, those of 1977 and 1978 (in 1977, Hope's campus was closed for the first time in it's 140 year history and again this year in January due to a snowstorm for only the second time).  I always remember though, that in about the first week of March, there was always a thaw with Floriday type weather to where everyone on campus was going around in shorts - but we always had a major "blast" of a snowstorm after that in late March or April.

All that being said, I agree with you - I, too, am tired of shoveling and snowblowing this snow at least once and sometimes twice per day.  Bring on spring and the nice weather!
