FB: Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference

Grosse Ile would have trouble in a powder puff game right now & the Lions are worse than the Bengals.
For UofM, well at least they are 57-41-6 vs. the mighty Nuts.
Well, at least this horrific year of football has given me the opportunity to concentrate on getting the nursery complete.

All three of my teams are going through better seasons than previously... so I'm lucky -- and I can say F the Bengals.

Badin High School just clinched the GCL -Central and a probable playoff berth with a 21-7 win over Chaminade on Saturday.  They are 6-3 this year. 

Notre Dame is just better period.  Clausen, though a pompous jerk, is developing very nicely.

Thomas More's lone defeat of the season is to John Carroll, who is 5-1 in the OAC and just beat Capital by forcing 9 turnovers.  The offense is averaging 250 yards on the ground, and the defense has given up 40 points in the last 4 games.  The Saints have three home games left.. Thiel, W&J, and the Bridge Bowl.

SaintsFan- TMC has been having a great season & if they continue to play well you may have a PAC championship to boot. 
I don't want to discredit Thiel, but that should be a W & w/ W&J, never say never.  I'll still root for MSJ, but that could shape up to be a huge game too.

[SaintsFAN]

yep, you're right, has_been... thats why they play the games.

Thomas More has a very young set of skill guys.  Their top two rushers (yardage) are true freshman.  The defense has been playing well (held a very good Bethany offense in check)..  W&J is the ultimate PAC test, meanwhile. . we also have some unfinished business in the Bridge Bowl with the new trophy that some art student came up with.

What a shocker...a Jim Hilvert team that plays good defense.

Badin's QB is the reason for their success. We were studying their film vs Roger Bacon, and their QB, under pressure and on 1 foot delivered a 50-yard pass (in the air) on the money. He can also pound the rock. I think he had 3 runs over 20 yards vs Bacon and has some decent size. He'd be a very nice addition to a D3 team in the area. He's easily the best QB in the GCL North/Central.

6-1 is the only record that matters in the OSU-Michigan Rivalry. but we got to take it one game at a time. 8:00 et, JoPa brings his Nittany Lions into the Horseshoe.

He's going to look good in the Royal Blue-White-Silver in Crestview Hills for the next 4 years.

SaintsFan,

It looks like Anthony Knott is having a good Freshman year for Thomas More this year. He went to the Seneca high school down here in Louisville. That is where all three of my children went to high school.

Glad to see him doing well, he is quick an can make some moves.

I think MSJ defense may slow Franklin's offense done some this week but I still expect Franklin to win by a couple touchdowns.

That's right...what have you done for me lately. JT owns them and should win #7 here in a few weeks.

[SaintsFAN]

They'll be recovering from what Penn St and Spread HD does to them though... maybe a hangover ??

From the perspective of one who has attended over 20% of these games - 22 of them -(and the pre-game band competitions at "Yost," "FC", "St. John's", and whatever the heck OSU now calls their sponsored, basketball edifice), recent history is appreciated, but translates into less than seven percent of the story. 

Forgive this old curmudgeon for fond remembrance of a seat on the 34 yd line in a stadium, snow underfoot, on a crisp, cold November afternoon in 1969 or even better, seeing big Champ stuffed twice inside the three from a MSU, south endzone perch in 1974.  One just never knows with underdogs...  8)

and how many of these W's do you actually remember.  wasn't the first 20 wins when OSU fielded a powder puff team club team before football became a sport at Ohio State?  i guess you should be proud about that 15 game spread.  it is like when my wife (an F'n Browns fan) talks about those pre-super bowl championships...all we ask to talk trash is do something in the last 45 years...

[frank uible]

Of course Woody's record vs. Bo was 4-5-1.

Here ya go, 70, even though first recollection of OSU football was watching a game in uncle's trailer, parked along Wolf Creek in Trotwood in 1961 - Mummy, Ferguson, Snell, and Warfield in backfield; Moeller on DL...

Hayes  1963-1978       9 - 6 - 1 (inc. the Franklin/ Rose rip-off of 1973)
Bruce   1979-1987       5 - 4
Cooper 1988-2000      2 - 10 - 1
Tressel 2001 - ?          6 - 1

45 yrs  OSU vs UM      22 - 21 - 2 

BTW, Nice reminder, Frank - "Baumanned again!"   

[Adam Sayer]

I coach with a guy named Baumann.

After the Cooper Era, which was the worst since Fielding Yost's 2 tenures at Michigan, I'll stick with Tressel's current 6-1 record
