trick --- sorry to hear about your father.  He was a good man.

Thanks SaintsFAN, your sympathy is appreciated.

I will be joining this board now as I have a new reason to follow the HCAC. I have been following D3 football since 1998. I have had 2 sons play in D3. One at Bethel in Minn. and the other with Wabash College. I will be following Anderson University more specifically as well as the HCAC in that my son is now coaching there.

Anderson has added 3 new coaches this year that may have an impact I believe...

Justin Rummel - Quarterbacks

Denny Kimmel - Running Backs

Andrew Rode - Wide Receivers

The only teams I have seen play have been when Wabash played Franklin twice and when Wabash played Mt. St. Joe...Franklin was really well coached and Chad Rupp...well...for Anderson's sake am glad he has graduated he was quite a player...

I look forward to interacting with you on this board.

I second the motion Dad. Andrew should do well with the exposure he has had to the Coach Creighton passing game. Best of luck--try to beat Dpu on Sep 12!!

Greetings to all my d3board brothers from hurricane alley. I'm sad to hear that the local radio affiliate in Defiance won't be broadcasting any more games - football or any other kind. Maybe this is old news to some of you but I just heard it a few days ago. WTF? I guess the only way I can listen to a DC game now is when they're away and then catch the play-by-play from those hometown radio stations, which I can only assume will be somewhat biased in favor of the locals. Ya think?

I saw the HCAC rankings and I gotta think DC is better than that. But nothing like a biotch slap by the critics to put a little fire in one's belly and a little steel in one's spine.

What's the betting money on the QB situation there this year? I was hoping to go to the DC roster and see a surprise at that slot but I guess we'll have to hope that one of the two returning QBs from last year will be able to step up this year and pleasantly surprise us.

Don't ask me why but my money's on RHIT and Franklin being the ring contenders this year. Adam Sayer will of course disagree but I think MSJ will come in third place this year. But hell, what do I know?

Anyhow, to all my bulletin board buds out there, I hope everyone's as excited to see college and high school football season rolling around as I am and I hope all of you are together and in one piece and not missing any significant parts since we last talked. I was sort of out of the loop most of last season and the winter because an old shoulder injury flared up again and after months of physical therapy and cortisone shots, I ended up having reconstructive surgery on it. For the second time. Let's see, that's twice on the right shoulder and once on the left shoulder. Anyone out there beat 3 of a kind?

Bob, I'm still waiting for that Velvet Underground album. My collection of albums now fills an entire room and I'm having build additional shelves for more.

Hark now hear the sailors cry. Smell the sea and feel the sky. Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic.

Yo-ho, yo-ho a pirate's life for me,

Thanks again for your interest in Andrew's life and career...You are so right about CC but frankly as much as we both hated seeing CC leave their were gifts Andrew got from watching a great Man leave in a proper way etc as well as seeing how a new coach came in with all new offense defense etc and he got to watch it up close and experience what that is like for a player to go through...all good for him in the long run in his own coaching career...

Any chance of makin that Bell game this year?...or am I going to have to hunt you down someday in the Up North kind of way?

Sorry, or I should say fortunately, I wasn't. I was a forward artillery observer in the 11th LIB, Americal Division around Chu Lai, sep69 to sep70. Thanks for remembering. Wab64

Christ in a Mopbucket, Joe - thought you'd morphed into grandpappy mode and abandoned us for dottering and/or neonate drooling.  Was just reorganizing a bunch of vinyl this week while the Dragon rescues sub-saharans from the ravages of wanton relations in Windhoek and "Up in the Country" for a few months. 

Available for parties and entertainment until 25 Oct when expected to return to submissive husband mode.  Other blankety-blanks will be filled in via email. Slainte!

Help maybe on the way concerning DC games being broadcast. Stay tuned.

The QB situation seems to be the question every year for the Jackets. I don't know what to expect. Powell was solid as a true freshman. He's very small at 5-7 but I like the way he competes. He's got a lot of moxy. Lew Caralla is graduated so Kuesel's going to be the bellcow in the backfield. He ran tough a year ago as a rookie and I believe 4 of the 5 guys in the trenches are back. I'm hearing a freshman will likely be option No. 2 behind Kuesel. Most of DC's skill guys are experienced having played plenty as freshmen, but they are still young.

You and I have talked a lot about RHIT this offseason. I think they'll be in the fracas along with Franklin and the Mount.

Cave you know Jacketsfan forgets his login in the offseason!!  Joe good to see you back.

Here is to Chad Ochocinco the kicking macine

You've got that right, 70s. 

When a dinosaur starts quoting Van Morrison lyrics, it's either flashbacks of "Them" or a ride on the Percocet express after a roto-rooter/ strut replacement on one of the limbs.  Shockingly simplistic for a Mutha's fan and purveyor of prose. 

At least Joe offered probable cause and didn't lapse into Tupelo Honey.

Yo honor, I plead guilty to forgetting my password in the offseason. But may I say to this honorable court, Yo honor, that Brother Bob up there in the gallery has it all wrong when he suggests that I must be stoned on some potion I found upon the wall of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall just because I love Van the Man and the belated Frank Zappa - a truly great American - with the same heart. While it may be true that from time to time this past season, I was the board's MVP (More Vicodin Please), never has my feeble, inbred Southern mind been that this moment.

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair, warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air ...

Riddle me this one, Batman. What are colitas? Please expound upon its etymology and its slang usage. Where does the word originate? How is it used in Hotel California?

Just had a couple of former D-linemen from DC at my dinner table. I made 4 lbs of fish tacos. There wasn't a nibble left. God I love these guys.

Thanks for the invite...I thought we were cool

I have never seen a HS team get as injured as we have been before a legit game has been played. We're down the following though a few will be good to go this Friday:

4 WR's, 1 HB, 3 OL (2 are centers), and a TE. All of whom are varsity or back up players. Since most of our kids play both ways, the defense is just as ravaged. It has been rediculous. Almost 30% of our varsity team missed either the whole scrimmage or part of the scrimmage last Friday.

[70_dc_alum]

well now that Camp is over and real games start this week there will be a few "miracle" cures and guys will be back...of course if that is the case you got other problems!!

only 4lbs of fish tacos...they must be losing appetite in their aging
