FB: Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference

[Adam Sayer]

Coach Hallet is a great coach and as I have always said, very personable and players like playing for him. I never played for him but still liked talking to him and BSing whenever I had the chance. Glad to see he may have the Berg turning in the right direction. Which is bigger. The Berg beating BW this year or Oberlin beating Wooster back in 2003? Thus far, the college football season has been great at all levels.

UC and Rutgers. They put together an ESPN instant classic last night. Brian Kelly has put together a solid team (same individuals as Dantonio but play together as a team 10 times better). I am very impressed by the character of UC. Down at halftime on the road and don't give up.

Ohio State beat up the Boilers (Sorry Coach Hill). Purdue came in averaging 500+ yards of offense a game and over 45 points. OSU held them scoreless for 59 minutes and 50 seconds and held them to 277 yards of offense. I wish it would have been a good game however. Purdue's starting left guard is from Indian Hill and as much as I hate the Braves, I like this kid. He wrestled and I used to roll around with him during his junior and senior year. He couldn't stop my throws He was 6'4" 245 in HS and tried everything to gain weight. First year at Purdue he gains 35 pounds. And to quote ESPN...OSU's defense is "Sick."

After USC lost (GO JIM HARBAUGH) I was a Florida fan for the first time in my life. Too bad that didn't work out but LSU is very tough and has a chance to go undefeated in the SEC (Which is rather weak this year but still possibly the best all around conference in college football). They are a very scary team. You know Florida was giving it everything they had after losing to Auburn and still couldn't hold off the Bengal Tigers.

The Cardinal pulled off the biggest upset possibly since OSU beat Miami in the Fiesta Bowl. Great game. USC has shown signs of struggling (last week barely beating an upstart Washington team). What makes this sweeter is Harbaugh called out USC. Though he did "praise" USC and Pete Carroll, it was more of a knock on him and his program and to go out and beat them is unbelievable.

MSJ kicks the sh!t out of Hanover...which I loved every minute of, but I would rather play in the style of game against Hanover my junior and senior year than blow them out like that. But...I know Tepee will post sooner or late...I LOVE IT!



Bring on Franklin: "Let's open up a whole can of kick ass and kill 'em all, let the paramedics sort 'em out. "

And I finally found out why this post forum is so boring. We're all friends (in an odd sort of way). We BS and talk football sharing our beers together electronically. There is no trash talking. So to be the confident man I once was and stir the pot, MSJ will beat the Grizz at Home.

4-Peat!!!!

cave2bens:
I was in the top row, right in front of the radio guys.  It's also possible that I missed the snap.  Given that I hadn't seen the kicker mis-kick one that badly all day, I'm starting to doubt myself.  I was in a bit of a daze by the end of the game...it was so stinkin' hot.

Heh, one of the moms brings a box of brownies to every game.  Whenever DC scores a TD, she passes around the "Touchdown Brownies."

Adam:
I'm going to wait until mid-week to give my predicitions, but I must say that Franklin's box scores are looking pretty darn good so far.  That is going to be one heck of a game.  I hope it's on an Internet feed somewhere next weekend.

altor,

maybe the "touchdown brownies" had something to do with your state of mind and NOT the heat..


Adam, its very good to see Hallett giving the Student Princes some discipline..  If the administration is as committed to turning things around as is rumored....Hallett will bring back some of the old tradition and make the team a consistent winner in Tiffin.

Hey guys, been a while but I still stop in to read.  Been up here at Indiana Wesleyan University finishing up my school.  I start student teaching this spring so it won't be long until I join the ranks of some Cincy-area high school  .  It's a little late (a week late to be exact) but I went to the Anderson - MSJ game last weekend since Anderson is just down the road from here in Marion, In.  I must say I'm pretty impressed with this years Mount team.  It's not the usual "cataclysmic destruction" defense that I'm used to seeing, but they got the job done.  The offense is what really got me excited, although it was a bit nestaulgic watching the Soriano-style offense (being lead by an Anderson High QB no doubt).  Playing against them in high school was rough enough so I can almost sympathize for MSJ's opponents' defenses.  That man can coordinate an offense, and he has the Lions geared in the right direction.  They really seemed poised and confident.  56 points against Hanover, I believe that's a Mount record, beating my freshman year mark of 51 over Hiram.  Go Lions go.
I'm debating on making an appearance at the Franklin game.  I may be in town but not sure yet, plus I want to see some of y'alls ugly mugs anyways.  Being up here in Indiana has me missing the Cincy-love from back home.  I won't talk about the Bengals though, it's just too hard right now.  I'll just stay focused on the Bucks and my MSJ Lions, who, as Sayer so adequetly put it, will inevitably 4-peat.  Get those rings fellas, one game at time!

[SaintsFAN]

Yeah, Sayer...I'm with you.  Plus we want MSJ undefeated prior to the Bridge Bowl Game..

[tepee]

Remember a few years ago when this board was full of hanover fans and they called us mt. st. blow?  they talked about tea baging our coach?  Where are they now?  



I LOVE IT!

[Adam Sayer]

I'm not old and punch drunk like Apollo Creed was. That would be SaintsFan. I think that hit at Alma is catching up to him I, however, would be more like Rocky. Come into your town, jam out to some Eye of the Tiger, slug it out, and send you home crying after I beat you cause your fans like me more than you. Then I would procede to give some dumb speech about changing. But it's not about me. It's about a MSJ senior class who will go 25-1 in HCAC games and walk away with a ring for every finger.

3 consecutive years Franklin has lined up, 3 consecutive years Franklin has come close, but for 3 consecutive years, Franklin has been beaten. Franklin is no doubt the underdog, but MSJ has a group of kids who have the pressure of winning number 4 and keeping the streak alive. You don't want to be "that" class who doesn't win. I'm confident they can and will handle the pressure.

[Adam Sayer]

Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey, Good-Bye!!!

[SaintsFAN]

I may be old and punch drunk...but I still gave that jerk-off at the bar a run for his money when I cleaned him up!!

[victorybell_57]

apollo was in the best shape of his life, that's all i am saying.

[SaintsFAN]

thats definitely not me...but will be soon.  I'm going to make sure of that.  Even have a new tattoo picked out to help me celebrate it..

[Adam Sayer]

I'll be in shape too. Me and the Ol Lady are getting Gym meberships to the Hyde Park Golds Gym (once the one in Kenwood is built, we'll go there). She has lost 40 pounds and I'd like to lose another 35-40. I still got wrestling season to look forward to.

It's the, eye of the tiger, its the trill of the fight....... It's in my head.

[StillMSJ]

Speaking of being in shape, you should see me in my new team uniform Sayer and Teepee.  Never thought I would have a calling in Competitive Cheerleading, but God works in mysterious ways.

What's with Luke Dillon's huge numbers?  Good for him and all, but can we get some love in the stat column for Mike Jones? (Who?)
