i will say i agree with the PRESEASON top 25 except for wabash. FC beat them last year, and you can argue, well whatever. We'll have a huge contest with them to get some of this squared away. talk is cheap, frog is leap, acdc has big balls, but i have the biggest balls of them all.

obviously, some of the schools out west throw me for a loop. I just don't know that much about them. does anybody else out there know the low down?

sayer, try this one out for the squad:

victory,

I know Thomas More played Chapman a few years back during a two game home and home series....Thomas More was playing pretty good football then, and Chapman's record left something to be desired (against the SCIAC schools) and they played Thomas More very, very tough....beating the Saints in Orange, CA and taking TMC to the wire the next year at home. 

To summarize....if not for the Mt. Union run, the West would have multiple titles and like the PAC 10, without the coverage that is given to the Eastern Teams (Not D3football's fault...its tough to cover leagues 3,000 miles away), many teams are underestimated by fans east of the Mississippi River, but NOT underrated by Pats staff.

It isn't that crazy...Wabash brings back their entire defense (including a two-time AA) which was light years better at the end of the year than the D that went to Franklin last season, as well as the nation's leader in passing efficiency and all of his favorite targets.  An 8-2 team with that much coming back will get votes. 

I posted this elsewhere, but I believe that a lot of voters have Wabash and Franklin ranked fairly evenly and I think the winner of that game will get a boost in the rankings at the expense of the loser's votes.  If Franklin goes to Wabash on the 8th and leaves with a win, I think they'll get into the top 25.  If not, there should be an investigation. 

This game on 9/8 is going to be a great game.  I think both of these teams will be very good this fall.

wally, right on. i am already anticipating a huge game there. great crowd, loud stadium, two teams ranked at or damn near the top 25. i have to go now, my pulse is going up as i think about it.

SaintsFan- That was a great game vs. Chapman.  It was nice getting to go to that game since Chapman is only a hour away from me. 
If only the halfback pass was completed at the end of the game you guys could have flew home w/ a W.

That was awsome. I liked when the smaller midget did a handstand and kicked the other midget in the face...that was the best.

Speaking of getting votes for the top 25. Little Mississippi College goes 5-5 last year and a combined 3-17 the previous two years and I see they have nine votes. Is that because they beat Millsaps, which beat Trinity? I mean, improving your season to .500 after sucking hind tit three or four years in a row is all well and good but how does it get you nine votes for the D3 Top  25? They did put a shellacking on Millsaps - which, incidentally, recruited my son pretty hard. And Millsaps did put it on Trinity so maybe that's how they pulled it off (knocking off a team that knocked off a Top 25 team).

Ugh! I ate too many fajitas. I gotta got take some Tums. I just blew a smoking hole in my fruit of the looms.

They're predicted to finish third in the ASC -- third-best in the ASC is traditionally a pretty good team.

my 2 year old thought the cart-wheel midget kick was hilarious...probably should not have shown it as now he wants to beat the crap out of the dog

[victorybell_57]

haha, that's classic.

look at what they make the prisoners do everyday at this prison in the phillipines. i guess whatever keeps them from raping or killing innocent people, i'm in favor of.

I'm going to send that clip over to MTV for a new reality t.v. show, "Making the Band; Prison Style"!

[victorybell_57]

i want to know who the people are clapping and cheering for them behind the camera. it's weird.

hasbeen,

No kidding.  I remember that...it was Halloween Weekend (all the ladies were dressed up at the 'bars' on Hermosa Beach) and the Angels were closing out the Giants a few miles away in the series....

Too bad we didn't get to meet up... we ended up having a great time despite the fact we lost.  I think the HB pass went in and out of the intended receiver's hands right? 

That night got a little crazy and two of us missed our 12 noon flight out of LAX the next day(which isn't all that hard to do)....and they ALL want to go back (even the now-married ones) for Halloween in the city of Angels.  Me?  I experienced Halloween last year in Las Vegas at Dennis Rodman's party @ Tangerine.   Either is fine, but if I had to choose, I'd take Vegas. 

[dc_has_been]

SaintsFAN- The ball was a little underthrown but should have been caught & went for 6!

Vegas is crazy as well, but if you want to experience an intense Halloween you need to go to Hollywood instead of Hermosa Beach or Vegas.   

[SaintsFAN]

If we had gone to Hollywood (like the football team did after the game), we would have gone to jail.....the guys that were with me are afraid of nothing..
