Quote from: Pat Coleman on October 05, 2025, 01:45:39 PMI would love to see an attempt. People talk about Camp Randall Stadium in Madison and it is centrally located but I think the Brewers' stadium would be cool and the marketing weight of an MLB club certainly helps in these endeavors.

I like both those ideas, but c'mon ... Lambeau. I know it's the least convenient but the coolness factor would be off the charts.

Agreed -- NFL would mean it's off-limits half the season, of course.

Yeah, I should have taken that into account. Still not impossible, though, with good planning and some help from the Packers.

Quote from: y_jack_lok on September 20, 2025, 10:16:10 PMIn the first week of ODAC play:

H-SC 42 - Shenandoah 7
Gallaudet 39 - Averett 30
RMC 27 - Bridgewater 3
W&L 35  - Guilford 7

The H-SC win has to be the most impressive. The Tigers must be the real deal.

RMC looked better in its win than in the first two games. The aforementioned changes certainly helped. Passing game also seemed a little different. A freshman RB (#32 Tristan Overbay) looked good in his first action of the season-- five carries for 33 yards.

I'm starting to come around, and I sure hope you're right, but the last few years have left me reluctant to jump on the bandwagon too soon. W&L have been a real problem for the Tigers recently; if we get by them I just might have to.

Quote from: OzJohnnie on September 12, 2025, 09:10:17 PMThe Hawks demolished the Crows over in Adelaide, taking a leaf out of duffman's Road Warrior handbook.  They put on a master class for high-pressure, every-player-contributing in a complete game effort football.

Now we're about to enjoy another chapter in the greatest rivalry in Australian sport when the Hawks play Geelong at the MCG on Friday night in the Preliminary Final, the winner earning a run in the Grand Final.  The whole Oz family will be going and we can't wait (a huge benefit of being a Melbourne Cricket Club member - or we'll be trying.  I'll hit that Ticketek website the second seats in the Member's go on sale).

Not Essendon/Collingwood? Either way, good luck to the Hawks.

Quote from: Tigerfan on September 08, 2025, 01:53:31 PMWoo hoo! The Tigers are receiving vote in this week's D3Football.com poll.  Coach Luvara and his staff have been doing tremendous work in recruiting.  Quite a change to see the Tigers getting physical and winning battles on the line of scrimmage.  I like the direction of this program.

   Like you I'm pleased and encouraged by what we saw on Saturday, and I definitely hope that it is a sign of things to come. But we need to temper our expectations a little bit and remember that it was only one game, and (if you believe the comments over on the MAC board) against a team that may be looking at a less successful year than they're used to. Hopefully they can keep it up, but let's see how they do the next two weeks against W&J and Shenandoah.

Nothing anywhere in the country like local, fresh Maine lobster.

We took a Maine coast vacation 30 years ago, using  Wiscassett as our base, and my wife still talks about the lobster rolls at Red's.

Quote from: HSCTiger74 on June 03, 2025, 11:33:37 PMOz, what's up with the Hawks? I can't remember the last time they lost three in a row (although I'll admit that I don't follow the matches as closely as I used to).

Two things, unfortunately.

First, the forward line has been under-manned all season. We've cobbled together a line that doesn't include a big gorilla to anchor it. Well-structured defence can just sit on everyone.  So if you can only generate limited scoring shots, you must score six every time. We haven't.

Second, our effort has really fallen off. Footy is a game that requires players to push themselves beyond their limits when the lungs are burning and the muscles are so tired. We've had a run against three top teams, the fourth in another day, and they have simply outworked us.  Good footy is 90% effort. If you're willing to outwork the other team (tackle more, repeat sprints in defence to maintain zones, thankless repeat sprints off the ball in offence to provide options that may never be taken) then you win nearly every time.

We'll see how we go. Four quarters of 100% effort is the only way to win at the top of the ladder.

Thanks. I obviously don't know all the detailed ins and outs of footy, but I've watched enough matches over the years to get what you're saying. And congrats on the win over WB.

   I had a similar reaction a few years ago when HSC had a one-off with Platteville, but I've felt for a while now that it would be good for the league teams to expand their vision in regards to non-conference games (if feasible for them). Bravo to the Jackets for picking up this game. Central has had consistently good to excellent teams for the past 15-20 years so it should be a good matchup.

  Not a fan (or hater) of either team, but I think OSU wins by two touchdowns. Michigan proved they aren't invincible, but I also think it woke them up.

  As a long-time (and long-suffering) Panthers fan I've been wondering when the Sam we came to know here would reappear. I guess I have my answer.

Quote from: HSCTiger74 on December 15, 2024, 12:49:52 PMDoes anyone know where I can find a full box score for yesterday's game? There isn't one available on the main D3 board and I need one to finish my pick-ems recap. Thanks.

 Thank you; just what I needed.
