You may either have forgotten or perhaps not seen it before, however, Pat has a column which posts coaching openings for D3 and contact information.  Look for it soon - he usually has it on the right side column on the main front page of this website.

Glad you made the drive safely.  I wish I could be there to join you and the others.  I hope you  have a great time and hopefully it will be an exciting game.  Dress warm.  Talk to you later.

Your friend,

Thank you kind sir.  Your name came up a few times tonight at the gathering.  Thats not a bad thing.  Seems that most people know "our story" on how we met.  Thanks for the warning about the clothing required tomorrow to be comfortable, luckily I will be in the booth with Ric, hscoach, and USee... I will be warm ... comfortable even.

If any of you know of any GA positions opening, or if you know of any high school teaching and coaching jobs opening let me know! I am Phys Ed and Health, but am willing to go the special ed route, will look into Indiana, Cincy, Chicago.....Thanks for any help!

The only way you're teaching special ed in Ohio is with a Catholic school and from what I hear, most of them will only let ou do it if you are working towrds a Master's in special ed (ala myself). Kentucky can emergency certify people in certain subjects/disciplines, I don't know if Indiana does something similar, but Ohio keeps you where you're certified as far as I know. Any Catholic School oppoerates on their own agenda and can offer a non-tax certificate. Another math teacher at Purcell whom I coach wrestling with has a degree in communications.

Thanks for the advice and suggestions....I know Indiana does offer emergency liscenses.....If I were to get a special ed job, I would be taking one class per semester to hold onto that temp liscense.

As much as I would like to see some new blood in the Stagg Bowl, last year's game between these two teams was a pretty good football game. Hopefully this year's will be the same.

What do you all think is the liklihood of an NFL team taking a shot on Kmic with a late round pick?

I don't think there's a chance of him being drafted... though, I've been wrong before.  None of his physical attributes are off the chart , like Garcon's were.  The best thing he has going for him is his vision and will to win. 

He should get a shot as a free agent, like Justin Beaver did this year with the Packers. 

Its speed (MUC) vs. power (UW-WW) this weekend for the fourth straight year.  Whoever wins at the LOS will win this one.  I'd have liked to see Mary Hardin-Baylor in this one... to make it a speed vs. speed.

Tend to agree with Kevin's assessment down the line, though unlike Garcon, the attitude issues and physical attributes (speed, etc.) may not play quite the importance as for a wide-out.  There have been quite a few running backs with less than blazing speed and stature who have made a mark in the NFL...

Don Nottingham, Nick Eddy, Dave Preston, Tom Matte, Floyd Little, Jamie and Joe Morris, Bob Ferguson, Jim Kiick, Jim Taylor...  Obviously the game has evolved over the past two decades, but as much as it's changed (West Coast, etc.), some offenses have reverted (Wildcat vs. Single Wing?).

he will get a free agent shot but not drafted.  RB are not highly targeted high in the draft which puts a lot of them in late rounds.  there are a lot more RB's than there is a need too.  I also think he would kind of fall in the Product of System category which kills QB's in the draft.  What i mean by product of the system is he has always had the best Oline in front of him, typically a magnitude over the competition with some of the Best QB and WR talent in the country. 

while it takes a special player to do what he did, there are lots of guys that could but up some gawdy numbers in that position (not Kmic numbers but some gawdy ones).  that will work against him...plus he is like 5'10" and 200lbs D3 and caucasian which is not the typical NFL RB stats that GM's wont drop a draft choice on

Adam Sayer

5'10" may be a stretch. The Kid from The Park who went there is only 5'7" or 5'8" and said Kmic is about his height. Just a thought. Garret Wolfe from Northern Illinois a few years back did well against DI competition and didn't get a look. He was 5'7" and rushed for over 170 against Ohio State the year they beat Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl. I figured it would be a long shot but when you rush for that many yards, spend as much time on a team like MUC...I think he would be a great fit for the 2009 Mr. Irrelevant.

Ive told you my thoughts on what I expect from FC next year, what about DC and MSJ?  I know DC finished this year extremely strong, do they return a lot? All I know about MSJ is Harbin will be back. Do you think he is a better LB or DE?  I tend to think the latter......

Adam Sayer

I personally don't think he's that great. In my opinion, he's only an average football player. He has a lot of athleticism and looks the part, but when I watch him play, I don't see anything special. Guys like Pat MacAtee and Matt Lawless were 10x better. I'd even say Eric Schneider was a better DE. I also played with those guys so I'm probably a little biased too.

That may be the O-lineman in me. I've always had a cocky mindset and refused to give any DL I played the time of day. I thought Brandon Tisdale was terrible and he was an All American according to D3football.

I did think he created more of a problem for us his freshman year, but I would think that is because of how great the rest of the MSJ defense was that year.  Unbelievable that year, great game, MSJ winning 21-14.  I think AH can be great WHEN he wants to be.  But like I said, a much better player with his hand in the ground in my opinion.

Garret Wolfe was drafted in the 3rd round by the Bears and is still playing for them.  However, I thought it was a big stretch to choose him in the 3rd round, at the time.  That thought has played out, as he has basically been a special teams player and hasn't had a lot of production as a RB.

From the Cincinnati fishwrap today:

Thomas More will consolidate its institutional aid and boost it to nearly $8 million a year, continuing an existing program to give $10,000 a year to any parochial school graduate who earns admission and adding a new program to give $7,000 a year to any public school graduate.
