If DC's offense can get a WR to step up & be the #1 target instead of Caralla or have the qb throw more at the WR's instead of Caralla it could help spread the offense out a bit.  Also, going 1 for 24 on third downs needs to improve drastically.

Hello? Have I done something to piss you guys off? Is it my deodorant or mouth wash?

Naw, just olfactory reaction to pending, (grand)papa palmer.    Figured you were still hot-tubbin' - heh, heh, heh.    PM a'comin' regarding vinyl.

HCAC getting good press on ESPN.  last week when Mike and Mike in the morning on ESPN2 and Radio was making fun of the fact they were calling the USC OSU game Clash in the Coliseum or something stupid like that they started looking for other good games to Name and they mentioned Franklin at Butler.  now they have made it a weekly event and this week the game of the week that viewers get to name is

Trine at Defiance!!

of course they talked alot about DC getting spanked by Adrian last week so they could do the "Yo Adrian"

i was getting calls and email from across the country from folks to tune into it

[dc_has_been]

Do you have a link for the place to name it?

[70_dc_alum]

nope they were doing emails live during the show

The best thing for Ohio State is to have a few down years (9-3/8-4) and get away from the big time until some fresh faces come in. It seemed like once that TD was called back and USC scored, it was "Here we go again" and they tucked their tails between their legs.

MSJ has given up an HCAC-best 7 points in 2 games and seem to have another solid defense to build upon. If they can keep it up, that FC game will be a battle.

So far at Purcell, we've given up the third fewest points in the GCL and have been winning or tied at halftime of everygame we've played...just need to learn to take that next step and put everything together. I can't understand half of what Lou Holtz says but I do believe he hit the nail on the head when he said winning is a process. Right now we need to learn to take that next step cause we could easily be 4-0 right now

I would imagine they probably had some dammage up in DC, Bluffton, Manchester over the weekend. It's flat and there are no trees to stop those 75 mile an hour winds. I was also fortunate as I didn't lose power at all. Duke Enegery said that this was the worst power outage ever as 90% of the Cincinnati area was powerless.

haha.... so I can see it now.  "Ohio State isn't actually struggling, this is part of the plan!"

Maybe not you, Adam....actually its the people that don't know anything about football that will say that if they read what you wrote!

Also...IMHO, jury is still out on the MSJ Defense...I mean seriously..  it was Wilmington and in the rain in Wisconsin.  We'll find out soon enough though.

I'm used to being in the top 10%...how does it feel for you, Sayer??

I think it's great that DIII is getting more & more notice year after year.  I feel like the guys playing for DII & DIII schools are the true student athletes.  I feel lucky that I was able to play football while receiving a degree that I could use in the real world.  Most of DI BCS schools should just give up & just admit that their players are there to play football not get an education.

In regards to defense, how about Hanover giving up 80 & Anderson 79 in two games.  I also agree w/ SaintsFan (dang it ) that MSJ really hasn't played teams known for been dominant so it is to early to tell if their D is as strong as usual.  With that said, if their D is as good as the past I think Franklin will be having some trouble making it two in a row.

It'd be nice if it was real notice, rather than condescending notice.

Flipping around some games last night, I had the option of watching West Virginia - Colorado or Michigan Tech - Northern Michigan.  After settling on the D-II game, I told my wife I'd rather watch the kids who actually care about their education rather than a bunch of special admits, even if the athleticism isn't the same.  D-1 FBS is simply a high-profile minor league for the NFL, where the true student-athletes are a definitive minority.

Yeah...you and DC70 are two of the lucky ones.  It was pretty unusual to hear from you guys on here... being DC grads and actually appearing to have real jobs following graduation.   

[Jacket18]

There are a few of us out here who are not only proud to be DC grads but even have a good use for our degree!  I don't post nearly as much Has been or 70, but I am out here!

You guys got the wind and lost electric, but we got the rain up here.  We recieved over 10 inches, yes i said 10 inches, of rain last weekend.  Our lake, about 225 acres, is up about two feet and everything around here has been flooded for a few days.  Luckily for me, our camp and my home is on top of a hill.

When is the next BIG game in the region, I need to get the hell out of MIchigan and would like to see a great DIII game so if there is a gathering taking place I would love to try to make it.
