That is something you would think saints fan could appreciate...someone to spank msj! Instead he gets smartassed about 63 drunks...first of if they were drunk they would have been 1st place votes we did not get any of those. Remember when our folks get drunk they go all out and don't stop at 2nd place!!

Just 2nd? After Ben's and Kistner's, it was always off down Auglaize (CI, Taco Ed's) or Second Streets (Stemwinders, Kaufman's, Barrel, or Maag's) to cop 3rd thru 6th places before a "Tip Top Breakfast Special" or that last quart of Little King's from Short Stop to cap a night of revelry.

Oh, the rankings eh?

Let the trash commence - re. "Barefoot in the Park" at Crestview, has_been, someone has to keep all those govt hookworm epidemes occupied. Not all of them can be here on Safari! LMAO! Now to await the emergence from winter's slumber of JacketsFan...

Sorry, I've forgotten your allegiances. Is the 'worst team in the NFL' the Bungles or the Pussycats?

Restoring the Roar baby! Lions may not be dominant this year but they'll still push 7-8 wins this season compared to Cincy's 2-3

Mr. Ypsi · August 12, 2011, 07:05:34 PM

Kinda suspected that, and I agree about the Lions. Though losing Leshoure for the season may cost a win or two.

70_dc_alum · August 13, 2011, 05:51:43 PM

If the bengals actually win 2 or 3 this year I'll be impressed. The sad part is the rookie qb did not look bad just the rest of the team was awful.

And I was serious about the road to the super bowl...it's just a very long multi-year multi-decade road

Mr. Ypsi · August 13, 2011, 07:34:16 PM

That trouncing of the Bungles has gotten me worried - the year they went 0-16, they were 4-0 preseason!

dc_has_been · August 14, 2011, 04:30:04 PM

I do recall the 4-0 preseason and enjoyed all the Lion fans saying, "this is the year!" This is the first year in awhile that I am optimistic about a Lions season. I still think they need another year or two before they become true contenders but I know they are now headed in the right direction.
70- Dalton did look good trowing the pass to Houston for an INT. I predict he'll have about 20+ of those this year but will be a good qb in the years to come. He's a tough kid.

cant blame that on him, he had 300lbs of the baddest man on the planet Suh drilling him has he threw it which made it float.

lions will be OK, that D-line is unblockable and that creates a lot of havoc which will win them 3-4 games this year they probably should not. it was early 1st quarter and that play by Suh put the Bengals out of it pushing them down 14-0 and killed all motivation. I would not be suprised to see Suh win 2-3 Defensive MVP's in the next 5 years.

EASY boys!!! I'm definitely wearing shoes in Kentucky and will be at each TMC Home Game with drink in hand this year. Maybe the HomoerotiC Athletic Conference will let me do some voting!!!

Good to see Defiance with some high expectations on the year... and you'all knew that with TMC rising again, that there's only room for one "sheriff" in the town of Cincy, right??

I'll get a report from Sayer on the state of MSJ football... they may surprise some this year..

ANYONE INTERESTED IN BEING PART OF THE 2011 TOP 25 FAN POLL, PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE WITH YOUR CURRENT EMAIL ADDRESS. Now that Kickoff is out, I'd like to get our first poll out by the middle of next week.

GRIZ_BACKER · August 27, 2011, 10:14:58 PM

I went to the Depauw (#42) vs Franklin (#24) scrimmage today at Franklin. The first team kids played an entire half. 17-0 with 3 minutes to go Franklin. Depauw had crossed the 50 once at that point. Team GRIZ looked rock solid on both sides of the ball. New QB for Franklin put the ball on the money several times, running game is solid and defense may be best ever. We shall see what happens over the season but the if FC loses a game in the HCAC I will be shocked.

FCGrizzliesGrad · August 29, 2011, 11:15:10 PM

My prediction for the season...

1) Franklin
2) Mt. St. Joseph
3) Rose Hulman
4) Defiance
5) Hanover
6) Anderson
7) Manchester
8) Bluffton
9) Earlham

70_dc_alum · August 30, 2011, 09:30:26 AM

Alright GrizGrad, I can't argue with Franklin #1. until they lose a game in conference they should always be ranked at the top. It has been a while since any HCAC team has played at Franklin's level. Once you get past the top 4 on your list the teams are bad

But I do got issues with DC 4th, they are returning a crapload of starters from a team that did pretty well in the conference last year. I personally think the title comes down to the Franklin and Defiance game. It sucks that game is early in the season as it will take a lot of the sizzle off what it could be if it was in week 10. On paper I don't see defiance loosing to anyone in league besides Franklin because the depth and experience...but hey they don't play the games on paper if they did I would not drink nearly as much

So, you consider Hanover bad? After ending last season tied for second place in the conference with DC, and only losing 6 seniors from last year's squad, you are ready to write off the Panthers?? Not sure I understand the logic.
