Thoughts??

Looks about right to me. I'm hoping DC will play some consistent football this year and possibly upset the Griz.   I like how there's four points between DC, HC, and MSJ.  It shows that there is a lot to say about those programs and that it will be another tough season of football in the HCAC.

Where is the Defiance Vs. Franklin game this season?

I wonder who gave MSJ the lone other first place vote?

I wonder who gave MSJ the lone other first place vote?

I don't know about the HCAC, but in most conferences a coach is prohibited from voting for his own team, so if this is a coaches' poll, the vote came from the Franklin coach.

Preseason poll is out and Franklin sits at 24!  http://www.d3football.com/top25/2011/preseason

it has been a while since DC has been a preseason favorite to be at the top...i might even start talking trash again!

10 starters back on offense that averaged something like 25pts a game and 8 return on the defense.  should be a fun year

Another reason to celebrate the demise of MSJ!

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!!

And to think I was going to say something nice about TMCs #11 ranking or the #2 winning record with teams over 20 seasons.  It's good to be back in football season and saints fan can still bite me!

SaintsFan is still holding on to the bitterness of not being part of the HCAC and that shoes are still not being worn in Kentucky
