I emailed Lance yesterday asking him if he was going to have anything on the Bridge Bowl.  He emailed me back that night and said he would have both coaches on.  I am assuming that it is going to be tomorrow night.  I haven't seen anything on his blog for the last two nights.

A few years ago I was reading in the Observer-Reporter that W&J was upgrading their facility so that they could get into the NCAC.  I was just wondering what happen to that?

BOB,

I usually check both of the schools website for the scores.  The schools SID usually puts the score on the website.  So as long as the SID gets score I will be ok.  Also,  There are sometimes a story about the game as well.  This might have opened up a whole new world to you Bob.  I hope the school's SID doesn't put Pat out of a job.  Sorry Pat.

I played at Thomas More when they had the old stadium with grass.  Both teams would rather play on the "new" turf with no press box instead of the old grass field, that was usually mud by this time of the year, with a press box.  I was born in Washington PA and I still have family back their.  I have driven through W&J many times and you can tell a difference in funding between W&J and Thomas More.  The facilities that W&J built up by Falconi Field are unbelievable.   

Anyways,  isn't D3 football about the players?  So I say as long as the players have a good surface to play on who cares about he media.  If you ask both teams they would probably play in the parking lot for a chance to go to the playoffs.

Adam- My brother played under Coach Higgins and from his stories he did sound like a guy that you didn't want to mess with. 

I had to run downstairs this morning and check Sportscenter to make sure Penn State did win last night.  Being a Bengals fan I just assume my teams will lose and break my heart.  I really didn't know how to celebrate after the win.

It sounds like the the departure of Hilvert and Sparhawk along with the arrival of Soriano is catching up with MSJ.  I went to the Thomas More game yesterday and Hilvert has that program going in the right direction.  I will be there next week to see the game with W&J. 

So who do you think Franklin will play in the first round and what seed do you think they can get?  The HCAC has to be able to win a playoff cant they?

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?

MSJ website is saying 7-0 in third quarter MSJ.

Does anyone know why the Lakeland College website says the MSJ game ended in a tie 0-0?  Even thier record changed to 0-1-1.  I am just an MSJ alum looking for an answer.

Is the MSJ/Wabash game on the net?  I can't get it through the MSJ website.

Lets say MSJ wins today and makes it into the playoffs.  The HCAC will have two teams in the playoffs probably for the first time.  Maybe people from the outside will question the NCAA for having two teams in the playoffs because of the history in the playoffs for the HCAC.  So once we have two teams in you can have three things happen, one of which is one team wins and one teams loses.  So my question is:

How will the HCAC be perceived  if both teams lose?  Now if they are close games then maybe you can argue that they both deserve to be in and it was a few bounces here that changed the game.  What happens if they both get blown out?  Will that be the end of two HCAC schools?

Now if both teams win then it is a great boost for the conference.  Then that might open the door so that in the future two teams for the HCAC will make it into the playoffs.  The HCAC will need to be consistent  in the playoffs so that they can establish themselves as a conference with perennial  powers.

When coach Hilvert left and went to TMC I never really thought that I would rooting for TMC more then MSJ.  Some events that happened at MSJ since Hilvert left was the real reason for me to turn my back on MSJ.  I was a big Hubie fan at MSJ but you can only laugh things off he does until it isn't funny anymore.

I am going to pick TMC on Saturday 21-10.

Sorry to tell you SaintsFan but I was lucky enough to get an offical TMC football hat.  I have a couple connections over in Cresview Hills.

I have to work till noon on saturday so I will probably have to park at Krogers on Delhi.

I want to say that TMC will win but I haven't seen either team play.  I do believe that if the teams are equal then I would give TMC the edge based on coaching and the competition that they have played.  If TMC blows out MSJ, which probably won't happen, I can see the a lot of recruits going to TMC.  

Since I was once a MSJ player and graduate I can't believe I am saying this but I will be rooting for TMC with my official TMC football hat on.  

Well I guess all I can say now is GO SAINTS.
