It was nice to see in the first top 25 poll Franklin & MSJ received some votes but after the first week Franklin gained very few & MSJ disappeared.  Not saying the HCAC really deserves to have a team in the top 25 or even getting votes, but it was nice to see two of them getting some early recognition.  Hopefully Franklin can make it two years in a row beating Wabash to be able to crack the top 25 or get a bit closer.

Any DC folk out there have any news on what is happening in Defiance?  Hopefully the offense gets their act together this week.  It would be nice to see some other people make some plays this week on O.  The stats make it look like either Vetter either ran the ball or the pass was to Dillon.

he won a national championship, that should count for something. he easily has one of the highest winning percentages since taking over for a drunk gary moeller. he puts together solid teams, even if they aren't in the top ten every year. they never has player conduct problems. they graduate players, a lot of them.  could have played for a few national championships if it weren't for OSU and tressell. would have this year (or been in the mix) if the juggernaut known as App. St. didn't come in town.

let's face it, carr runs a solid program. i think michigan would be worse off without him. he is a mainstay there, for many years. still runs it by the bo book and he'll be fine there. of course, if this season goes south, you may not see a forgiving michigan administration. michigan is still a class team and one to model others after. it's been by the bo rules since 1969, and i don't think it should change.

The only rules at Ohio State and Michigan is you beat the rival and win the Bowl Game. You can't do that consistently. They say bye, bye real quick. You always have one foot out the door at programs like these.

Sources tell me that a defiance GA was busted in the stands filming adrian's scrimmage.  Taylor, the HC, may lose his job over it.  Can any Defiance fans substantiate this?

[tricksnaps56]

No word on Coach Perry's replacement.  Probably too early for any names to be thrown around.

[victorybell_57]

espn just had a poll on whether or not carr should be fired.

i agree with you sayer, but in all actuality, michigan is a class program. now, the down side is that he lost to IAA team and will have to beat OSU and make a major bowl if he is keep his job. if that doesn't happe, then his whole body will be out the door.

they can't seriously be looking for perry's replacement already can they? let's wait until the ink is dry on the divorce papers first, just MO.

TrickSnaps - if they did it sure as hell did not help.

on Carr...runs a great program but so did John Cooper.  Cooper would have been playing for a few national championships throughout the 90's if it was not for Michigan.  even the 2002 starters were mostly Coopers guys.  ask cooper if the last game and the Bowl matters,  11-2 record can be very good or very bad depending on where the "2" comes from.

[victorybell_57]

i believe they call him lloyd cooper in ohio.

yes, that was the kiss of death btw

I can't, but Kean was busted about a decade ago for doing the same at Western Connecticut.

Talked to some people about the HC game.  I guess the O looked pretty good - especially for starting a freshman QB- but it doesn't help when they have to score every time because the D can't stop my grandma.

We grandmas take exception.

tricksnap56:

From what I have heard from people at the scrimmage and at Adrian is the DC assistant was caught in the stands trying to film the scrimmage by the Adrian AD who then had him removed from the facility.  It is not the first time DC had shown up at an Adrian scrimmage, as they made their way to ONU last year, but it is the first time I am aware that they attempted to film it. 

[KYGrizzly]

I am not surprised that Adrian caught them, because they knew what to look for.

In Franklins 2005 season opener at Ohio Wesleyan a couple Adrian personel were caught filming that game by the OWU athletic staff.

[ADAWGISADAWG4LIFE]

Adrian hasnt played Franklin since the 03-04 season, played Franklin at their places, the score was 48-13 I believe.

[KYGrizzly]

I apologize and stand corrected. It was Olivet who I was thinking about.

They say when you turn 50 the first thing to go is your memory, sorry.
