FB: Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference

[SaintsFAN]

the better prepared team wins most times.  and I agree with you that was an upset this past year.   It will be interesting to see the flavor the rivalry takes on from this point forward though.  Lots of good stuff happening in Crestview Hills now. 

As far as the tailgate for the Bridge Bowl....its been a more festive (ie celebratory)atmosphere for us AFTER the game with the obvious exceptions of 2004 and 2005.    Again I wonder how the crowd will handle this year's edition of the Bridge Bowl.  I think you'll probably see some of the MSJ/TMC guys from on here share a beer before the game.

Adam,

where you playing flag football?  the key is to have a quick QB and a go-to receiver if you are playing CSL.  Before my shoulder surgery this past year, I was playing with a buddy of mine, an all american WR from Georgetown (KY).  We called him the eraser....we'd let all the turds on the team play until halftime and then start calling on "the eraser" to chew up yards on posts, post-corners and go's.   We usually won going away...

Very sad day in football. But VBell is right. There's a method to God's madness. Personally, I'd like to know what it is cause I can't get a job and have resorted to painting relatives' houses for extra cash. Lord knows I pray every night for a teaching job.

We play at an indoor place in Fairfield. It's full contact but you can't tackle trying to get the flag...or I should say you're not supposed to. Balls off the wall are in play. It would have helped if I could shotgun snap the ball too. I'd do about 3-4 good snaps in a row, then roll one, then snap it 10 yards in the air. There is a reason why I never volunteered for Center.

Adam,

Hang in there, dude.  If life were easy....you wouldn't appreciate the good times.  Let me know if you want to get together here soon so I can impart some more wisdom on you. 

JPC,

If you are lurking here...shoot me a message.  An old HS Classmate of yours is now my new Group Sales Manager and we were trading stories about you the other day.

To all....9 days away from the big 3-0.  I have rented a bar in Mt. Adams for Saturday the 30th.  Its $35 to get in, and all you can drink from 9-midnight.  If anyone is interested shoot me a message and I'll give you the name of the place.

Also my thoughts and prayers go out to Coach Hep's family.... the fraternity of coaching has lost a good one..

VictoryBell57,

Did you really just compare Franklin/Hanover with Wabash/DePauw?

"Wabash is very in love with themselves and their Program" - is that why FC is STILL talking about their upset win last season...why they talk about that win on every recruiting discussion, and why the Indy Star wrote an article about it at then end of the 2006 season.  I couldn't find the article.

2007 game is much different:
- Huff is one of the top QBs in all of Division III
- Bash D is a completely different unit, was by game 6 of last year, Deig and Pynenberg are off the charts with a deep and talented D front, NO first year starters nor position changes
- Bash will have film on FC's offense - no clue last year with no trade with OWU, much better D game plan
- the game is at Hollett Little Giant Stadium
- won't that same pep talk apply for Bash this season since its in our house?   

8-3 huh?  I hope they do...  Huff would throw for about 600 yards...and Russell would catch for about 300

[victorybell_57]

yes i did, the only differance is that the FC HC people are more fun to hang out with. i know your bell is much bigger and you think you are ordained the football teams in the state, but get over yourselves.

i haven't talked about the "upset" since it happened. I said great job and get ready for the next game. and giving an outline of your previous season with some notable victories isn't that absurd friend. it's called giving the 17-18 year old high school senior a snap shot of your program and who you've played/beat. it's called recruiting. if they said during the recruiting spiel that the wabash fans were doing the elephant train on their monkeys, then you can complain.

2007 game is much different:
- Huff is one of the top QBs in all of Division III was he not any good last year?
- Bash D is a completely different unit, was by game 6 of last year, Deig and Pynenberg are off the charts with a deep and talented D front, NO first year starters nor position changespart of the game, let's deal with it and move on. theobald didn't complain when he was trying to piece together a defense the last couple of years with guys not suited for it. he just worked hard and ate a lot of food.
- Bash will have film on FC's offense - no clue last year with no trade with OWUyou could have received a film. i got a film 4 states away by calling a few people. it's not cheating, it's called being creative. , much better D game planok, we'll see. if it's an 8-3 then i am saying you stole that from theobald and crying foul.
- the game is at Hollett Little Giant Stadiumcool place. HARD HAT FOOTBALL AND WABASH ALWAYS FIGHTING. it really is a cool place, but the geekiest thing i have heard are those chants. it literally is the most annoying crap ever heard. that's not homefield advantage. it's the calculus club drinking 3 zimas and chanting hard hat football all day. the tomahawk chop is home field advantage.
- won't that same pep talk apply for Bash this season since its in our house?   no, because theobald is the best pre game speecher that has ever walked the earth. and he is way fatter than anything your coaching staff can bring to the table. he will simply out work you at the buffet.

[Adam Sayer]

i know your bell is much bigger

But I got the biggest......Bells of them all.

The 30th....something tells me I have something to do (Not sure at the moment) but if I don't, and have some extra cash, I'll be sure to stop up. Pavillion? Longworths? Blind Lemon? Yesterdays?

[victorybell_57]

sayer, don't get upset about the job thing. most schools are not under pressure to hire immediately and some will continue to wait until mid july. they have the 4th to take off you know. if you live in cincy, call the bearcats and see if you can do something for them. you could be on tv one day.

Sayer: Monday I had two schools call to set up an interview, one thanks to coach Hubbie, and then another one today.  Today was Blanchester, next week Northwest and little catholic school on the west side.  If you go to the archdiocese website they have tons of middle school positions open.  It would hurt for a year.

[SaintsFAN]

Bumped into Coach Huber last night....if someone could tell him that I made it home without incident, when you talk to him that would be great. 

Thanks.

Adam, its going to be at Alive One next Saturday night.  You should pony up the $35 and come out....you'll probably see me in rare form, unless the ex is there.  By the way, most of the girls from here will be there and if you can believe it, the scenery is better than it was when you spent time in the old complex. 

[Adam Sayer]

I keep getting bad news. I did apply to quite a few schools on the Archdiocese website here and two schools in Columbus. We will see. The only thing I can do is try.

[Adam Sayer]

This is Tony German's fight. For those who don't know, Tony played ball at MSJ for a year and has the biggest arms of anyone I know. He also happens to be slightly nuts.

[dc_has_been]

was that shot w/ a cell phone? 
Tony does look like a beast for sure.  That fight looked like the Jonnie Morten fight in LA when it lasted about 12 seconds.

[victorybell_57]

that guy is massive

[M and L]

what an animal!  I would hate to be on the recieving end of that punch.  Not bad for his first fight!
