TM seems to loaded and ready for another clean run through the season Saints Fan.  Unless MSJ gets better, TM should have no trouble later this year in the Bridge Bowl.  I may have to eat my words, but having seen Franklin at al three games this year, the GRIZ are back to form after last years "rebuilding".  FC lost to Carthage in Kenosha but the Redmen are solid 3-0, have a great QB and FC made several unforced errors in a close game.  Since then 49-7 and 56-9 beat downs.

Good luck to the Saints in the first big test of 2010

Read something that was funny!  The last time Ohio State lost to another Ohio team was in 1921 and it was against Oberlin.

Funny i think that was also the last time Ohio State lost to Michigan

Another crazy week for Hanover and Rose. I think those two are going to be playing it out for third, but I can't get a bead on either. Although Hanover's offense looked great this week, and Rose had some big plays - big plays don't win games just keep you in them.

On a side note, Franklin - wow it is going to be a tough season for anyone having to line up opposite the Grizz. That first game at Carthage might have put a chip on their shoulders. And I say watch out for next week MSJ.

42-7 Griz beat Yellow Jackets in every phase of the game.  Defiance crossed the 50 three times.  Lone score result of FC fumble inside own 10 in last 2 minutes of the game. MSJ up next

Another year, and morning razzings via Skype from the family dinosaurs (Franklin '41, '42, and '48).  Congrats to Franklin on a dominating performance!

Appears that da Prez needs to scrap the ice cream, study table for the six aspiring (or is that aspirating...) students mentioned in his last schtick.  Drag RT and his ragtag mob of n'er do wells to the garage for a hot sauce bolus via cattle prod - in keeping with the Reverend Plant's "Let's Get Fired Up" homecoming theme.  Frankly, "autumn harvest" might be more appropriate, "canning the vegetables and fruits," plowing under the weeds, and refertilizing (beyond the routine, manure spreading) for next year. 

Upon review of a 1973 Defender article, poetic justice the aforementioned head of alumni relations has assumed the same mantle (and weekend theme) exorcised as a hand-wringing, student head of homecoming festivities back in the dark ages.  Sincerely hope he has more success this time around.  As to football, the Alpha Xi reunion might be more exciting - cuddled up on a bed together, watching Look Who's Talking II like in 1994.

Cave2Bens...a classic

"Griz beat the Jackets in every phase of the game."

Really? Were the Jackets even there? Ohhhhhh, you mean that team with the purple and gold uniforms? I have an idea. Instead of calling themselves the Yellow Jackets, they should change their names to the Straight Jackets, as in you can't do doodly when you tie your own hands behind your back. But, as long as the head inmate is running the asylum, the rest of the gang is going to keep getting its weekly treatment of electro-shock therapy. Like cave2bens says, and probably will a cattle prod inserted in the hindmost.

Good afternoon, my merry band of miscreants, ne'er do wells and blackguards. Tidings from the land down under, where Spurrier once reigned supreme but of late, King Urban does. Bob, how the hell are you, my friend? Did you get my e-mail a couple of weeks ago. I am greatly enjoying your previous record collection, by the way.

Grandparenthood is awesome. The young'un, offspring of former DC tackle #92 and his lovely lady, tips the growth charts in the 98th percentile in height and weight. Two months old this week and already 24 inches long and nearly 18 pounds. He's now being weaned onto a steady diet of SEC formula and it is daddy's and his papa's (not to mention his mama and his grandmother's) fervent desire that he will be in full pads and attending two a days by the time he starts walking.

What can I say about DC? Did anyone actually think things would improve?  No quarterback, no offense, tepid and predictable coaching. I'm reminded of that old tune by Talking Heads, with the refrain, "Same as it ever was."

Anyway, it's good to be back. I hope this finds all of you well and in good spirits.

A lovely evening of surprises - the effervescent ScotsLass finally emerges from lurker status on the NCAC board after a two-year hiatus, and then tonight, just as ready to crash out, a scruffy, Fernandina brigand scraps his "hole in the water" and slobber-smeared "T" to grace the HCAC blogosphere with his unique prose and blunt assessments.

No vipers, but one "spitting" elapid, along with numerous lizards, including a 30" monitor - then there is the wife...

Good to have you back, Joe - it's been rather tame.  Have had the Yellow Shark CD for quite some time, and glad the old vinyl is getting appropriate use.  'Juked by a baby octopus and spewed upon with creamed corn"

Defiance needs to emerge from the ELP-Jersusalem syndrome and rediscover MC5's "Motor City's Burnin'" mantle or "Studebaker Hawk."  I'm ready for a big hit single with a bullet...

[Jackets Backer]

Cave and JacketsFan are always good for a laugh. your assessments are right on the money. That was a pitiful showing Saturday against the Grizz. I remember the days when DC actually competed with Franklin and MSJ, but the Jackets don't even come close to competing anymore.

Rumor has it he is #1 on Franklin's recruiting list for the year 2028.

Congrats on Grandparenthood, we have three granddaughters and are still waiting for the first grandson.

I will keep it short  FC 41 MSJ 10  TEAM GRIZ dominates every phase of the game.  41-3 until late MSJ TD when second and third string were playing.  Good road crowd for Franklin (matched the MSJ crowd).  Third consecutive win for FC at MSJ.

[panthersfan]

Griz look destined for a conf. championship at this point but it's officially open season for 2nd place now.

[dc_has_been]

I'm going to agree that 2nd place is up for grabs.  No one has really stepped up and showed who it is going to be.  I would still have to put MSJ as the favorite for second, but they seem to be having some issues this season and not playing to their potential. 
For Franklin, I'm sure they are going to run away with the HCAC crown this year.  It will be interesting to see how they do when playoff time comes.  I'm sure they would like a rematch vs. Carthage.  The loss is going to hurt them when  they get seeded (assuming they win out) b/c they aren't going to get much help from the rest of the HCAC unless MSJ beats TMC in the last week of the season.
