FB: Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference

[Mr. Ypsi]

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

Yeah, I LOVED John Cooper!  Why'd ya have to deep-six him?

His first name isn't Charlie, is it Adam?  With an affinity for SC "orange"? 

Cooper ran out of kids needing free tuition - there's always hope for a generation of grandbabies, eh Mr. Ypsi?  After "a sabbatical" in Tennesee Dr. Gee, ala MacArthur, returned from Vanderbilt.  

[Adam Sayer]

Nope, his name is Larry.

Big game for MSJ. Had a dream where I was aksed to suit back up. The NCAA had granted us a 5th year. Just so happend that the alarm went off while I was putting my blue socks with paw prints on.

[fc_alum_84]

Were those socks navy blue and old gold with Grizzly paw prints??  where are all the MSJ smack talkers??  This board boring this year.  The weather can't be that fair in the Queen City can it?  I know the bungels suck and Cincy High Schools are having trouble beating Indy schools but come on??

I will start the smack with this:  If MSJ thinks they are going to run on FC they may need to think again.  The QB better warm up the gun because if Rupp and company get rolling, 3-4 yards a carry won't cut it.

It's a shame the MSJ wasn't able to score 30 points combined at home against Anderson and RHI.  This game was way bigger on the schedule back around labor day.

FC will be motivated as they did MSJ a scheduling favor with two games in a row down south.  It will just be that much better when we roll on the road again this year.

[70_dc_alum]

that is a way to liven it up in here...even Defiance will likely put up more than 30 against Andy and RHIT. dont think it will be a W this week but will score at least 10pts against Andy

[SaintsFAN]

I agree..  I think we've gotten to know eachother too well on here... at the expense of good old-fashioned chit talking. 

I remember back in the day of calling Sayer out on here (not remembering that I "hosted" him on a recruiting visit in 1999 before the Carnegie Mellon game) following a game Thomas More won at Mariemont HS.  He made a block right in front of me on TMC's bench (I was on the field) and started running his pie hole to our bench.  I don't think they gained another yard on that drive (their offense was basically hand off to some other midget sized RB and hope for the best or throw the ball high and usually short to Wellendorf).   The offense definitely has a good QB now and their RBs are better as well.  I'm not sure about the line, Sayer's mates were probably the best MSJ has had.

I remember playing MSJ my senior year in the scrimmage on the new field (they waited until we were coming off a 3-7 season to even schedule a scrimmage with TMC following the 1995 DEBACLE at Lockland) , and seeing some turd from my HS starting at DB as a freshman or sophomore and thinking "You've got to be kidding me?" .  We "won" that day to make MY all-time record against the Lions 2-0. 

Don't get me started on Defiance/South Florida "one year and done" Technical College, Bluffton "Our coach didn't realize you suspended 7 offensive starters until the 3rd quarter" Beavers, Hanover "we're a bunch of cake-eaters" Panthers, Anderson "we're all a bunch of midgets" Ravens, Manchester United or Franklin "We beat the pizz out of you 66-0" Grizzlies.

How's that for chit talking? 

[fc_alum_84]

Not bad Saints Fan.  anybody ready for another 'smore and a couple verses of "kum-ba-ya" 

As a side note: The song kum-ba-ya was originally associated with unity and closeness, but more recently is also alluded to sarcastically to connote a blandly pious and naively optimistic view of the world and human nature.[1]

Even though I do like trash talking, considering I've been listening to it for over ten years from 70dcalum, it's funny it coming from someone who has only been around since Franklin has been good.  I do like the initiative though.

SaintsFan- will you remind TMC fans to come to games w/ shoes on & a shirt under their overalls.

[fc_alum_84]

FC will continue to be good for quite some time.  To be honest, I really never spent much time on the football boards but have been a long time basketball person.  With Hanover pretty much sucking in every sport most of the fun is gone out of that. 

To be honest, I wish FC played in the same conference as Wabash (we wouldn't win as easily but there are more good teams top to bottom in football).  FC would be very competitive in basketball in either conference.  The two wabash/fc games the last two season prior were all out wars until the last tick.  Possibly FC will get to play Wabash in the playoffs? Hopefully no Mount Union (I see Trine getting that game)  FC will probably be on the road at Wabash or maybe North Central.  The lost to Trine killed any home playoff game (assuming FC makes it)

To be honest I wish you would say the NCAC has better teams top to bottom.   
I do agree that the NCAC is a better conference, but not by far.  Witt is not as strong as they used to be, I'm still up in the air w/ how good Wooster really is, & Wabash seems to be the only dominant team in the conference that stands out.  Hopefully Franklin & Wabash will meet in the playoffs assuming Franklin wins out.
If Trine wins out they may be seeded ahead of Franklin due to record & the W over Franklin, plus Mount may not be in the same region & go east again leaving the north with UWW(not better).   

[Mr. Ypsi]

Don't forget that the North region also has the SLIAC and NathCon - the #8 seed may be neither the HCAC or MIAA rep.

IF Trine wins out, I suspect they would be at least the #6.  And I doubt a 9-1 Franklin (IF that happens) would be #8.

[nittanybacker]

I haven't been paying much attention to the HCAC this year except to see that my prediction with the MSJ program is taken shape.  What is going on with Rose Hulman, how did they turn it around so fast?  I thought it was a big upset that they beat MSJ but I guess it wasn't as big of an upset as I thought.  Do they have a chance of knocking off Franklin? 

[Adam Sayer]

That was after an interception, so how could we have put up anymore yards? That was one hell of a football game that year. So I was a prick, I got the job done. And we got revenge the following year. It was funny to hear, when already down 26-0, a TMC player say "this team sucks, they play HS teams." Tepee promptly got in his face and stated "We're kicking your ass so what does that tell you about yourself." Slack-jawed Yokels.

I don't talk much trash anymore. I know MSJ isn't the same team as they were the last 4 years. I realize that if they don't play exceptionally well on defense and if they can't PTR, it will be a long day. I'm not a "Homer" I'm a realist. The only reason why I used to talk was because I had the chance to back it up.

If I were playing Franklin this year, I would call out their whole team, including the punk-a$$ QB, and state something along the lines that I would bring brown bag lunches so the D-line wouldn't feel left out of the stat column. The bag might even be put to better use being placed on their heads to hide their shame because deep down inside, they know I'm better than them. The kid playing over me (when I played he was a 6'4" 350 pound slob) would regret the day he ever decided to play for Franklin and remind them that when Franklin recruited me, I laughed at the guy because their program was a joke....but that is only if I were playing Franklin. And I guarentee, I would back up every word I said!

It's not PTR today....it's PTFR!


Big game today against Roger Bacon. I appreciate the early morning sh1t talkin. Got me fired up ready to play. Unfortnately, I'm not going to be able to make the game cause our game is at 1:00

No SLIAC team will make the playoffs in the North bracket. Only Huntingdon or LaGrange has a real shot at getting in.

[dc_has_been]

Wow, DC's kicker misses a 31 yard field goal!  The kicker on my middle school team could hit 31 yard field goals & be consistent too.  DC is up 7-0 at halftime. 
How about the Franklin-MSJ game, 26-7 Franklin right before the half. 
Nittanybacker- RHIT's opponents currently have a 12-29 record combined.  I wouldn't really say they have turned it around yet.
