Nobody worried about having to cover him at MUC last year.  He was a rookie for Colts in 08.  I agree with your basic premise though.

For you Defiance grads, "premise" is just another way of saying "idea".

You're welcome

Welcome -- we don't have nearly enough Bluffton posters. Darryl?

I'm out here -- just don't have a lot of time to post (or read, for that matter).

My only question this week is will the Griz put 50 on the Jackets? I'd be surprised if they don't get 40, but maybe Leonard will call off the dogs early.

Considering this isn't DI and coaches don't need to impress the pollsters, I think he will call off the dogs if it gets that bad...unless DC's offense finally finds their identity and the score is 40-35. I think DC's offense will score some points. FC hasn't shown they are a great defense. If DC doesn't....well, I'm sure you can use your imagination for the remainder of the season.

You're a d!ck...always raining on my parade. It's Charlie Weis not Charlie Weiss, Garcon played 2 years ago, not last year. I ought to pimp slap you.

I don't look at it as raining on your parade... i'm just making sure you keep it real .. haha

They've only scored a measly 38 all  year and all but 18 of those came in garbage time with the game already decided. They scored 13 legitimate points against Musky, then the D scored a safety against Adrian before the O scored two touchdowns against AC's backups late. At Trine, DC marched the opening possession for a field goal and then were shutout till the fourth against Trine's backups. That's 18 meaningful points, including a bucket by  the defense, with the game still undecided this fall. Plus with the injuries in the backfield, I don't see how this can't be a long trip to Franklin for the Jackets.

So I am a complete idiot.....

My wife's car was really low on gas. I figured that the fuel pump wasn't sucking up any fuel because the gas level was too low. I put a little water in the gas tank thinking that, though water and gas don't mix into 1 solution, the pump would suck up both and the water would burn off as the gas was fed through the engine and I would be able to make it the 1 mile to the gas station. I probably should have known better, but I remembered a buddy, who works at a gas station, mentioning that some stations add water to their gasoline. Hence, where my idea came from.


To say the beginning of my day sucked is an understatement.

haha... so what happened??

[Adam Sayer]

A guy pulled behind me while I was pushing Lindsey car and helped me to the gas station. He was a Purcell grad and his whole family (also Purcell grads) owns a mechanic shop in Pleasant Ridge called Donovan's. They put a solution into the tank to evaporate the water and the car is now good to go...only $87 was the damage.

[GRIZ_BACKER]

Hopefully you understand a playbook better than the combined properties of water and fire!

Knucklehead of the day.  Ladies and gents... this fine fellow is educating the youth of America and completed his schooling at Deer Park HS, The College of Mount St. Joseph and is finishing his masters at Xavier. 


Thats an expensive tank of gas... I don't let the tank get below 1/4 full because I don't want to end up in a situation like that.

Thanks for the "heads up," Griz.  Hometown has done a nice job with the Wabash games over the past two years, and it'll prove a nice addition for Franklin College fans. 

The commentators for DC's home feeds have been pretty good as well - better than many of the network, talking heads.  Unfortunately, the Jackets haven't shown similar prowess.  This will provide a bonus opportunity for JacketsFan to kill his monitor and enrich the cardio staff in Fernandina Beach.     Poodle bites - poodle chews it.

The only time I had my playbook opened in college was when we had to have it at meetings...and it was opened for show. I learned why plays were designed and ran the way they were rather than...this is an Iso, here is who you block. When you understand the purpose, how defenses react to situations, and the structure of various defenses...you can do a lot more than "block the iso." There is a reason why we were only required to take 1 scouting report quiz my junior & senior years

I also learned better when I could see the diagram in action (i.e. on the field) rather than in diagrams on a sheet of paper. All the X's and O's, lines, arrows, etc. was a pain in the a$$. My mind also tends to be a steel trap when I actually pay attention to something (unlike my wife who thinks I am coming down with Alzheimers) However, I still have a hard time remembering names. I can remember all the useless information in the world, but names get me.
