FB: Ohio Athletic Conference

[D3fanboy]

In these times of financial stress for the small schools, I wonder where Otterbein and Capital stand? Other schools like Hiram, Wittenberg and even BW are really struggling. So as a talented athlete in Central Ohio, do they look elsewhere? Maybe the Pentello family has some future
players coming up??

ODU Roster currently online is a mishmosh of 24 and 25. He's listed with no picture or number for 2024 and no 25 listing.

I would have loved to see early 00's bleach tipped Rocky Pentello with a black moustache as the picture

The main athletics account posted four pics from practice.  Have they opened the flood gates??  The only thing I took from them was that any concern I had about Maloney being suited to running the ball regularly were baseless.  Dude looks like he spent the summer sleeping on a cot in the weight room.

Maloney was a monster coming out of high school.  Strength was never going to be an issue.

The Raiders get to hit someone not wearing purple today.  Joint practice with W&J today and a controlled scrimmage next week over in PA.  Here's to health for both teams in what likely gets a little heated over the next week

I miss Lenny and the info he used to supply.

two weeks away from toe meeting leather and who is actually on the Mount Union team is anybody's guess...it almost seems like more work to be so bad at social media, transparency, engagement, etc than what Mount does these days

I miss Lenny in many ways. He was great to learn from, work with and then a colleague. He was great at his job, but also made you feel important.

THIS... TRULY! When you're a program of this standard, you expect all areas to follow suit.  It's not like we expect them to share practice film, but things I've noticed other D3 programs sharing include:
Returning starters/key players
Key transfers
Highlight some freshmen (UMU Wrestling as already done this)
Countdown to Kickoff
Highlights from last year or practice this year
Stats from last year to note
Connect with the local newspaper

Those are all basic things that high school programs do.... create some excitement or hype!

Speaking of transfer, I had a friend tell me that Carson Dyrlund, a former local HS (Hoover) QB who went D2 (Northwood) is now at Mount. I think he was an athletic QB with a decent arm.

If you asked Dartt/his handlers...The Standard is The Standard.  No need for any excitement, or hype in Alliance.  Despite not winning a title for nearly a decade, all is well in the boring, unimaginative land of Mount football.  I mean he's won 94% of his games!! 

ughh

[theaprof]

I don't really care about hype--I just want information.

[D3fanboy]

Yes!!!

[hsbsballcoach7]

I don't really care about hype--I just want information.

That's my point though... they can't even give the fans, donors and students a roster.... at the very basics.

The only reason I would understand not putting it up the first week of camp would be so another college doesn't poach one of the 3-4 QBs, etc you recruit.
