Bluffton over Rose-Hulman in 37-34  3OT (kickers were a combined 1-6 in the OT's) FG practice will be intensified this week. Yeah Beavers!

[GRIZ_BACKER]

Griz rang up a 38-0 win over MSJ.  Defense was stout all day holding James Clay to 65 yards on 28 carries. Offense not as sharp as normal but a shutout is always good.  On to the Ravens next week up in Anderson.

Looking forward to this matchup on Saturday!  Coming off the big OT win at Rose Hulman should have the Beavers fired up.

Big game. Winner will control their own destiny with a game against Franklin left. Bluffton is the underdog, but I think they will put up a great fight

Everyone:

Say a prayer for the extended familes inclusive of Ted Karras, Jr. (former Northwestern University Big-Ten star, former HCAC DIII Rose-Hulman Head Coach and current Head Coach of NAIA Marion University in Indianapolis of the Mid-States League) as his uncle, famed former Detroit Lion NFL star (and of George Plimpton's "Paper Lion" book and movie) Alex Karras (who is the brother of his father Ted Karras, Sr.) is dying of kidney failure in California it was announced this evening.  Karras was sent home from the hospital to spend his last few days/hours with his family.  The Karras families have an extensive longtime history in football as most of you know.  Alex Karras is apparently also suffering from long term closed head injury and has been one of the leaders in the recent ongoing lawsuit against the NFL for concussions, until his illnesses recently put him on the sidelines.  So again, keep all of them in your prayers.

Sorry to hear about his passing today.  Didn't realize Alex was born in Gary, Indiana.  I'll never forget his role as Mongo in Blazing Saddles.

The Griz licked the Ravens 69-0 today.

No assumption (ref. "Je praat nou k*k" in the HCAC pick'ems) - now fact concerning Defiance, and so much for resurgent kool aid.  Is it time to reschedule Hiram, along with Earlham and Wilmington to insure a three win season? Well, maybe to insure... 

Just another tough day with the pick'em spreads.    Nice job, Griz_Grad.

Hanover put together a nice effort at Bluffton today. The Beavers threw everything they had at the Panthers during the first quarter, but at the end of the quarter, the score was only 3-0 in their favor.  Hanover woke up, and started to move the ball, leading at half by a score of 14-10.

The second half was all Hanover as Bluffton could only muster another field goal.

The pre game taunting by the Beavers towards Hanover was a little strange.  Couldn't see what the t-shirt had written on it, nor why they ripped it up, but the refs stepped in before Bluffton could get any further downfield.  Pretty undisciplined way to start the game, but evidently the coaches didn't seem to mind as they let it go on.  Maybe next time, they should focus on playing the game.

My curiosity is peaked about the shirt...  They were approaching Hanover players when putting on this display?  They must have had a pretty intense half time talk...  Different team in the 2nd half.  The goal line stand was pretty intense and I was just listening to the webcast.

The Beavers broke through the sign the cheerleaders were holding for them to run through on the opposite end of the field from Hanover. One of Bluffton's front players through was carrying a white t shirt and was waving it towards Hanover before ripping it. They were yelling something while moving towards Hanover, but the refs saw it and stopped them around the 40 yard line.

Pretty comical stuff considering they then proceeded to lose, but at least they were fired up to start the game.

Anyone know how Kyle Kovach is doing?  Noticed he didn't play at all in Rose's last game.
