FB: Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference

[SaintsFAN]

get your resume together and don't spend another season there.

You don't want to die of a stress-related heart attack when you're 35. 


The team that I saw against Badin needed some work, but they're kids.  I just don't think Purcell Marion is getting the John Paul Case, Terry Killens, and Kenny Pope's anymore.  You guys seem to be doing the max with what you have.

[Adam Sayer]

The game against Badin was the worst game we played all year. The other blow out was against Alter. Playing Alter is like MSJ playing Mt. Union. We spent some time talking about the year and I was told that this is the first year in a long time they have been able to consistently compete with teams in the GCL. Here's the difference since last year in the GCL

Team                                            2007                       2008
Chaminade Julienne                        34-0                        14-6 (missed extra point and FG)
Carroll                                           33-6                        24-12
Badin                                             23-12                      40-14 (we had 4 Turnovers, 3 in 1st half)           
Alter                                              49-6                        39-7
Fenwick                                         24-6                        27-21 (2 Overtimes)
McNick                                           35-6                        29-26

It's definitely gotten better. Last year we averaged losing 33-6, this year 29-14. We didn't score once on our opening drive in the 3rd quarter last year. This year we've done it 3 times (Carroll, Badin, McNick). We've had the lead/been tied at halftime or sometime during the second half in 6 games this year compared to 2 last year. We line up on Friday with 33 varsity players (9th-12th grade) whereas other teams have 33 or more juniors and seniors.

Have we gotten the most out of this team....probably. But we're better than the 1-8 record.

good game in DC.  21 all in the 4th but RH is in the red zone

[SaintsFAN]

i see the progress... I just still think.. well, you know.


Thomas More marches on today... 35-17 over Grove City.  I'd sure like to have that John Carroll game replayed at this point.

[fc_alum_84]

FC was up 56-27 on Anderson midway thru the fourth.  Anderson is a fraud.  13 of their points were a result of FC turnovers.

Leonard called off the dogs with 9 min to play.

[Adam Sayer]

Told you it would be 20+ points.

And no offense to Defiance as they are in a rebuilding stint, but RHIT isn't very good either, as proven again today as well as the other close calls to bad teams. They'll play up or down to their competition, which good teams don't do. Not gonna lie, I'm a little worried about Saturday. Hopefully MSJ can keep it a game and pull out a big play in the 4th quarter to win it. With the way FC's offense is playing...the defense has its work cut out for them.


TMC's playing very well. The PAC isn't extraordinary, but the rebuilding process seems to be going quicker than most people thought.

Kevin, I'd like to leave in the future after A) we've built or established a respectable program and B) I get my Master's Degree finished. I'm getting a deal through the Archdiocese. I don't want to run just because things arn't going my way. I guess it's a pride thing. Plus, if we can build up the program, that would look great on a resume. So far, my Runningback is averaging over 5 yards per and we haven't given up many sacks (I don't count the ones when the QB gets happy feet and tries to run all over the place).

[fc_alum_84]

FC is certainly in the driver's seat for the conference crown but next week is a trap game in my opinion.  On paper, etc FC should roll and is the clear favorite.  However, MSJ has nothing to lose and is going to give FC a battle.  MSJ still plays solid defense every week and they will be highly motivated.

I am looking forward to it.

Franklin seems to look better on paper then they did before with the teams they've played.  BW only other losses were against top 25 teams (mount union & otterbein) &  are 3-3, Butler is doing well at 5-1 & would be 6-1 w/ a win over Hanover, Trine continues to roll at 6-0, & Franklin has pretty much rolled over all their HCAC teams thus far (Bluffton, Defiance, & Anderson).

Yeah, like the three 80-something, family alums like to remind me of every Sunday morning.    "But Bob, at least DC rallied to beat the spread this time!"  Ouch, Ma! 

As a certain curmudgeon on this board expressed, though my terminology is less harsh than his,  DC has screwed the pooch so often that charges of beastiality may require investigation.

... if you can't stand by your post enough to have your name on it then we don't let it stay on the board, sorry.

what a crappy season

DC 0-6 (cant cheer for the #1 draft pick here)
Bengals 0-7 (see comment above)
OSU cant crack past 10th (talk about high standards these days)

at least the high school alma mater is doing well taking the GWOC last week.  lets see if Northmont can play with the big boys of the GCL when region 4 gets running.  they held there own against St Iggy and while the Cincy big boys are good they are not top 10 in the nation good like the last 5-10 years.

sorry for breaking into the high school on the college board, but i got to pad my number of posts and there is nothing about DC that is worth posting right now other than heck of a game by Lewis running the rock

[Adam Sayer]

Did I miss a post by someone? What's Pat talking about?

The Bengals are 0-6 for the 8th time in team history. The next closest team was Arizona with 4. You would think being Paul Brown's son, he would learn at least something about the game.

I think the difference in Saturday's game will be MSJ's run game. The defense has been pretty solid all year in the turnover department and I think they will be able to force some vs FC. If MSJ can sustain a run game, limiting FC's possessions, those TO's will be costly.

[Pat Coleman]

Yes, it was pulled. They posted and immediately deleted their account.

Well..... My high school is 0-8, college 0-6, & Detroit Lions 0-6!  So I don't want to hear about crappy seasons 70dcalum. 
Maybe I'll start claiming Cali teams, so I'll know what if feels like to win some games.

[70_dc_alum]

Gross Isle High School Football could not win in a powder puff league and the Detroit Lions might even be more pathetic than the Bengals.  i guess it could be worse.  at least when my Buckeyes have a down year they still crack the top 10 and will likely be in a BCS game.  it is not like we got beat by Toledo...Go Blue!!

Claim the Cali teams...i know you cant root for USC so it will be UCLA for you.  how would that be different than you pulling for U of M?  UCLA is always in the back seat fight for 2nd place behind thier rival!
