FB: Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference

[dc_has_been]

I would like to see TMC & Franklin in the 1st round.  It would be an exciting offensive game no doubt. I don't know if it will be likely for TMC to move from the South to the North. I think there will be a lot that happens in the south region that may have TMC possibly hosting a home game in the South region. 
Also, with the way the north looks I don't know if Franklin will even get to host a home game in the north unless they ship out NCC & Trine loses & CWRU loses or gets shiped east.

who cares about the playoffs.  the real story is a winning streak in Defiance and continuing that streak against MSJ and Sayer checks into crappy football loss rehab.

was thinking of going to the Elder Northmont game at Nippert on Sat night.  see if my alma mater can finally make some waves in Region 4.  should be an interesting game with Elder's pass offense vs Northmont's defense loaded with D1 guys playing DB/LB

I've been in rehab since I left MSJ.

My Ol Lady's school, Pickerington Central should make a bid for a title. They have 11 kids who've already been offered or committed to D1 schools.

I would say Defiance has no chance, but MSJ isn't what they once were and the weather foracst isn't good. 17-7 is my estimate.

Did I miss something last year at MSJ when I saw Defiance get beat by Huber's bunch?

[dc_has_been]

I don't think DC is yet there to knock off MSJ, but anything can happen like RHIT beating MSJ.  If DC eliminates thier mistakes & gets some better play calling they may have a shot at this one.  They have been getting better each week & I'm hoping that trend continues & carries over to next year.

SaintsFan- nice to see TMC move to the 5 seed in the south.  If the Saints win out I think they'll have a shot at hosting a game in the south as I mentioned before.

has_been,

They have a tough "trap game" this weekend....with an overnight to Beaver Falls, PA to play Geneva.  I've heard the defense is better than their stats for Geneva... we need to show up to play on Saturday and then finish off the season with MSJ.  It would be nice to finish 9-1 and get a high seed, but they still have two games to earn that.

[Adam Sayer]

I think MSJ is a better team that the W-L indicates. DC shouldn't be a problem, but the weather forecast in Defiance, Ohio calls for rain and sloppy conditions are a good equalizer.

TMC had better not get happy. MSJ walked into the TMC game in 2006, 9-0 and expecting a home playoff game. They were more worried about who they were playing in the playoffs than TMC. They lost. I think the game will be along the lines of the 2003 game...which was one hell of a college football game.

[SaintsFAN]

Sayer,

Not a CHANCE of Thomas More looking past MSJ.  No way -- MSJ is going to get our best effort --and I agree, its going to be a great game.  MSJ had beaten Thomas More pretty handily in 2005, but MSJ kicked our a-s-ses last year in Delhi and took home the crappy new Bridge Bowl Trophy.    The two most important games of the year are W&J and MSJ (not necessarily in that order) and the Saints had all year to prepare for both. 

If the players look past Geneva this weekend, they'll get beat up there.

Sayer,
the crappy new Bridge Bowl Trophy.   
If the players look past Geneva this weekend, they'll get beat up there.   

The new one may not be an actual trophy, then again the other one wasn't either, but it looks a hell of a lot better than the ceramic pot some Stoner made back in the day of the Blue Rebels.

By the way...parent teacher conferences tonight...not looking forward to the comment "my kid is failing and it's all your fault."

[SaintsFAN]

can you tell its getting close to the Bridge Bowl? 

Both trophies are ugly... but the original "Bowl" was the original.   I thought that meant something in the rivalry.... but I guess we needed a new "trophy" to mark the 2nd era of the series -  Call it the "Competitive Era", if you will.

MSJ has come a long way... and props to Huber for making it happen.

Headin down to Gatlinburg. I'll be sure to think of y'all while I'm sitting in the hot tub, on the balcony of my Mountain Cabin, drinking a cold one.

[SaintsFAN]

jeez... this Adam Sayer guy travels like an executive from AIG..

[dc_has_been]

Thanks Adam!  I'll be thinking of your relaxing weekend while I'm painting the babies room.

I will be enjoying another FC beat down. This week Womanchester.  Heading up there in the am (150 miles each way).  FC by 4 touchdowns (at least) unless Leonard feels sorry for the Spartans early.
