Turf project is complete at DC!  Here's the link about the upgrade:   http://defianceathletics.com/football/news/2012-13/2479/defiance-college-completes-turf-project-at-coressel-stadium/  and pictures:  http://www.defianceathletics.com/wlacrosse/photos/2012-13/447/

Any truth to the rumor the 5 home games where the Jackets got torched helped to make the removal of the natural turf easier and thus, less expensive??? :)



AND is the new carpet flammable??

Crown-free it appears.

Time to wake up from a 7 month slumber here in the HCAC. I'm sure nothing has happened in the world since December ;)

HCAC is running a bracket to decide the best football helmet in the conference. Seeding is based on last year's standings. First matchup between #8 Earlham and #9 Anderson is available until 10am tomorrow morning at the bottom of the page
http://www.heartlandconf.org/sports/fball/2013-14/helmet_bracket/round_1

Quarterfinals begin at noon tomorrow and run till noon on the 12th.

I am a bit biased but I think Franklin should be the favorite to win the bracket.

Thanks for reviving the HCAC thread.  It was sad that the last post was back on December 4th, but then I had nothing to contribute to get the conversation started again.

It will be interesting this season to see the progress some teams have made.  As a conference, the HCAC had a lot of new coaches last year, and some (i.e. Earlham) really didn't have much time for recruiting.  Now that the new coaching staffs have had a full season and off season to install their program, it will be interesting to see the results.  Looking forward to a great season.

In looking at the bracket, it looks like Bluffton has new lids for the upcoming season.  I can't get an image large enough to see, but I like the color.

As for Franklin having the best helmet design, being a Hanover fan, I cannot give you an 'amen' to your vote.  However, that being said, I think the simplicity of the entire Franklin uniform is neat, sort of like Penn State, Michigan (before Addidas got creative), and the Oakland Raiders.

It looks as though three in the conference have gone with the matte look (MSJ, Manchester and Bluffton).  Wonder who will be next?

I like the #2 Seed.

As a person not having a team in this hunt, I like the simplicity of Hanover.

Quarterfinals of the helmet bracket and 2 of the matchups are within just a couple votes. Still more than 24 hours to vote for your favorites.

Less than 60 days until the season finally starts. Seems like it's been forever since last season. Where's my time machine? ;D

Fortunately for the Griz fans, you got two weeks more than the rest of the conference!

The offseason wait has still been three weeks longer than we'd like  ;)

2013 greetings fellow HCAC fans...  Can almost smell the grills cook'n and hear the beers popp'n now.  Looking forward to another football season!

Semifinals are set to begin on Monday... Franklin came from behind to beat Anderson, Bluffton had the most comfortable win, Defiance pulled through, and Hanover squeaked by MSJ. #TopHCACLid

I like that we've got something to discuss while we await September.

My pick was upset...now I am rooting for the underdogs.

What is it with D3 football and Purple Power? Bluffton and Defiance have made the finals of the HCAC Football Helmet Bracket.
I am disappointed Franklin lost, but I do like the purple matte of Bluffton. Voting opens up tomorrow at noon and will last until Monday. May the best helmet win :)

You can always take solace with any of the old adages - "it's what's on the inside that counts," etc..  Over the past few years, FC has had the team even without the latest graphics.  If a rabid, Griz fan, know which I'd prefer.   ;D

Maybe the next HCAC social survey can highlight the latest in neon-shaded cleats  ;)

First, I was so happy to see activity on this thread!!!  Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling knowing football is almost back, especially in the HCAC.
Second, I am thrilled to see DC is in the finals with Bluffton for the helmet vote, but am excited to see how they do this season as I am optimistic that Coach Sheehan has everything ready to go in his second year.
Finally, I like Bob's idea ;)
