FB: Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference

TMC had their personal fouls as well. I remember back in 2003 when I threw a fist into a guys face on the sideline cause he was running his mouth after an INT. That's the way it goes. It will always be a tough, physical game and personal fouls will be called. Diving at a players knees is a little iffy on the option, but it's not illegal. Tackle the pitch man and there is no option.

come on, man.  unless you didn't see it... you know it was cheap.  if you're going to hit someone on the option like that (even if the pitchman doesn't have the ball)... hit them high.  Don't be a COWARD.  It was a chicken$hit play.  The film won't lie... and that kid will have a target on him next year... guaranteed.  But we'll do it between the whistles and not in a chicken$hit way.

Didn't something like this happen against Defiance also ??  Not this year but two years ago..

by the way, call me back... I'm trying to reach you about something with tonight...

Any good Defensive coach will tell you against the option you layout the pitchman and QB everytime regardless of who has the ball. 

70, also.. (and you can ask Adam about this) but your statement "any good defensive coach..." pretty much rules out that this was a gameplan kind of thing..  Adam, we talked about this at the game...  please clarify!! 

Since Hilvert's been gone, there has been no defensive coordinator..

Good luck to Franklin against Otterbein - it's time for the HCAC to put one in the win column.

Rod will admit he doesn't know much about football but he does what any smart person should and would do. He puts people around him who know a heck of a lot more than he does (i.e. Jim Hilvert, JPC, Coach Mac). I'm sure Rod is working on trying to find a DC. I don't think he would call the defense if he didn't need to (MSJ had great success while he wasn't the DC while he was just walking around managing the situation). You can't fault the man. He does what he has to do.

It's been years since I played defense, but I do remember our coach in high school telling us if we tackle the FB, the QB, and the HB every single time...there is no option. And honestly Kevin, I didn't see the play. I'm assuming MSJ's player thought the play was still live. At any time the QB can pitch the ball, so unless the whistle is blown, the HB is still a live target.

And sorry about not calling you back. I had Purcell's open house today and we had a student flag football tournament. We had a great turn out at the open house. I think we got about 30 names of kids who were interested in Purcell and wanted to play football. Last year they had 110 total kids show up. This year we eclipsed that in the first hour and a half.

Another big congrats to Elder. I sat through the cold of 2 football games yesterday and got to see a great one last night. The Ol Lady's excited because Elder Plays Pickerington Central (that's where she went to school) and we're going. Gonna be a lot of purple. I think Anderson's run is going to end. They have St. Francis DeSales. Hope not, but DeSales is unreal. And how about Alter putting up 31 points on a team who didn't allow a single defensive TD in the regular season.

[Adam Sayer]

Good luck to TMC against North Central. Though it's a 1 vs 8, it's a very winnable game for the Saints.  I think FC also has a good chance against Otterbein.

I think the big surprise will be Wheaton and Trine. I think Wheaton will beat them.

I knew I could get you fired up again!!

FYI Bengals / Eagles = most boring football game ever.  I know lots in the media hate college football OT, but a tie are you kidding me.  Although it was fitting to the rest of the game...

70... I was there.  Not only did I get up early today to meet a tailgate (girlfriend wanted this after I kinda ditched her to hang with Pat Coleman last night), but I also sat through the entire game.  I got to argue with some Philipinos wearing McNabb jerseys (they didn't know the words to the Eagle fight song -and I turned the whole crowd against them), but the part with the tie... wow.  I have no words.  One thing... I believe this is Andy Reid's last year... along with McNabb.  McNabb didn't want to be there... period.  He was god-awful and so is Reid.  He's lost the team.

No offense taken, has_been and thanks for the updates today.  I think its either Otterbein or North Central coming out of the North.  I'm going to try to make the game on Saturday up in IL.  Ott is a terrible draw for Franklin.  I was hoping Trine, CWRU, or Aurora.  Too bad... its been a great run they are on... and that offense is chameleon-like.. they have beat teams in the air and the ground this year...

While I'm thinking of it... does anyone know anything about doing play by play (radio)??  Pat and I were talking last night and I need to find a play by play guy so I can get on the air for the Playoffs (probably after round 2). 

Pscodna did the Radio for Defiance for a couple of years why dont you give him a call   i could imagine how that coversation would go

[70_dc_alum]

Sayer i went to the Alter game and it was not even close they dominated Coldwater almost the whole game.  Coldwater who averaged 56 pts a game only had 1 drive and that was the TD to Start (although Alter had 2 INT in the drive called back on penalty)

Coldwaters other 2 TD's came on a muffed punt which was returend and an INT at the 3yd line.  the RB for Alter going to Wisconsin is the hardest running kid i have ever seen.  he took over and dominated the 4th quarter.

haha... well, I don't think he'd like being called a *ussy.  It would definitely come up at some point... but I would be as professional as possible on the air.   Then again, it could be like that scene with Brent Musberger and Dan Fouts in "Waterboy" when the great old QB, Fouts (me) says to the old guy (P) "Shut up, Brent"

Alter only put up 39 on us...grant it, it was 32-0 at half. What's amazing is Alter's GCL schedule does nothing to help them. They beat everyone by 30 points and their starters are out by halftime in most games. Word around is Alter tries to play the GCL South teams, but Elder, St. X, LaSalle, and Moeller won't play them. Yet, Purcell Marian has to?

its been this way since 1992.  That year... CJ beat Elder, Alter beat Moeller and and we lost in the final moments AT LaSalle.  We never played another south team again...nobody from the "North" did. 

[70_dc_alum]

This is Alter's best team ever, they will beat stuebenville for state and I think would easily win state in D2-6.  IN D1 they would take Region 1-3 and would compete in Region 4 but would be a battle to get past Elder/Colerain and purely a size across the board issue.  They have more size than most D1 programs but those guys are huge at all positions.  it is hard to play the who played who scenario, but they did play Fairmont a D1 Region 4 playoff team and beat them something like 56-7 in a rivalry game.  Fairmont beat Centerville and Wayne and nearly beat Northmont twice and Northmont should have beat Elder who won region 4.

gmc south has no reason to play them.  they lose it is devistating to lose to a D4 Team, they win and it is devistating to the Harbin Points in the most competitive region in the state so they still lose.  other than a great game there is no reason to schedule it.
