Heard that Jeffrey Cmehil is a medical redshirt.  Still recovering from knee injury from HS playoffs.

2014 HCAC Average Home Attendance
Franklin - 3204
Anderson - 3111
Manchester - 2456
Hanover - 2228
MSJ - 1758
Bluffton - 1650
Rose-Hulman - 1330
Earlham - 1024
Defiance - 779
League Average - 1913

Here's how attendance ompares to enrollment numbers I grabbed from the d3f team pages...
Franklin - 954 - 335.84%
Hanover - 1060 - 210.19%
Manchester - 1276 - 192.48%
Bluffton - 933 - 176.85%
Anderson - 1901 - 163.65%
MSJ - 1277 - 137.67%
Defiance - 805 - 96.77%
Earlham - 1139 - 89.90%
Rose-Hulman - 2093 - 63.55%
League Average - 1271 - 150.51%

For me, the biggest surprise is MSJ's numbers.  They recruit in a large city with local kids and yet can't average 2,000 fans?  It has to be a misprint.  Or maybe I'm just used to seeing the bigger crowds from this little game they used to play for a Trophy* with another (and better) local team. 

*A trophy the school in Delhi just HAD to redesign after they finally won one.

I don't think your bitterness will ever get old!

Trouble in GRIZland?  AJ Puente, the projected starter at QB, is no longer listed on the roster.  Freshman Cmehil, a top recruit, is also missing from the updated roster.

Something tells me the Griz will just be fine!

the shtfks in Delhi replaced Defiance... did you notice that??  One at a time.  At least you guys were very competitive.  We had some wars.  MSJ - not so much. 

If they win the HCAC like they've been talking about - they'll lose by 45 in their first game during the tournament.


ETA:  Where are you in LA, has_been?  I'm thinking about buying a house in the Mar Vista Neighborhood of West LA.  Its actually off of the National Ave Exit from the 405.

That's awesome!  Let me know if that materializes!! 
I am in Calabasas/Agoura Hills Area, which is not too far from Mar Vista!  I used to live over on the West Side in Santa Monica and West LA (Pico & Westwood Blvd).  Once I got married and had kids, moved to the calmer Conejo Valley right off the 101.

Former Franklin QB Grant Welp has led the Orebro Black Knights to the Swedish championship game to be played this weekend after beating previously unbeaten Crown Royal Tyresö 28-25 in the semifinals.

I read that Welp threw for 2 TDs and ran for 1 TD in that game.

Yup!  It was a great location for the wife and me!  On our street we had Starbucks on one corner and Coffee Bean on the other side!  Also, the Apple Pan is right down the street too! 

[wally_wabash]

You go Coffee Bean hands down, yes?

Wally,  at the time, I would be 50/50, but now I finally have a Dunkin Donuts close by!

All that talk about MSJ - well, IF they win the conference, they won't host a playoff game... Again.


Maybe they should try to schedule Ave Maria College next season for the Opener?  Would make a nice bookend with the scrimmage they have slated for Week 11 this year.
