FB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[Mr. Ypsi]

Anybody playing Alma this year? the fun starts at about the 28 second mark WOW!

http://www.footballscoop.com/news/4369-ironhead

Just how closely did you watch this video, oldnuthin? At the end of it there's a graphic that says, "First Home Game Sept. 10 vs. Illinois Wesleyan."

(NPU has a neutral-site scrimmage with Alma next Saturday at a high school in Indiana.)

Now, Greg, be gentle.  With a handle like 'oldnuthin', he may have self-esteem issues!

I'm hoping to be in Alma on the 10th (though it may get pre-empted by a nebulouly scheduled family reunion).

I saw nothing worth watching after the hit, so no i did not waste anymore time to see the IWU disclaimer at the end. i can only assume, and that is always dangerous, that with your knowledge of the NPU program that  you work at the school and have a little more time then me due to class not having started.

I appreciate the thought, but i would only have have self esteem issues if my weenie was green  , which it is not. Also, isn't a  "nebulouly scheduled family reunion" redundant ?

[Mr. Ypsi]

A carefully examined security tape of IWU urinals* found no green weenies whatsoever on campus.   (*which fortunately does not exist)

"nebulously scheduled" may be an oxymoron, but I do not think it to be redundant.  The occasion is my parents' SEVENTIETH anniversary (which actually already occurred 2 weeks ago, but at 92 and 93, they are quite good at being patient ); the hold-up on definitiveness is my oldest brother and sister-in-law, who are meandering from California in their RV, with arrival date so far unknown.

Now that is impressive.  Congratulations to them!

The Alma clip in its entirety is one minute and fourteen seconds long. You must be seriously pressed for time, oldnuthin.

Does this mean you will not be in Greenville...I was thinking we may connect again...

However, a couple in Oregon will celebrate their 78th anniversary tomorrow! He's 100, she's 96.

Is anyone planning to do a CCIW Pickems this season?  I've already got about a dozen entrants on the MIAA Pickems, and haven't the inclination to do both.

I'd like a shot at defending my upset victory last year!

I'm taking a sabbatical from being the administrator of the Pick-Em's contest.  While it isn't necessarily a huge task, I have done it for the last 5 or 6 years and the time adds up.  With the kids getting busier, I'm trying to simplify my commitments outside of the home.  Plus it wouldn't hurt to have some new perspective on running the contest.

[Mugsy]

While Andy Studebaker has been listed as 1st team OLB with the Chiefs, not unexpectedly he is under extreme competition from other OLB's.

LB Cameron Sheffield: Lost all of last season after suffering a freighting neck injury in the preseason, Sheffield has rebounded in impressive fashion. He's shown many of the same traits that had the Chiefs coaching staff were excited about before last year's injury.

Haley said he thought that Sheffield "showed up" in Baltimore.

There's been a discerning eye on Sheffield this preseason as he responds from the injury that took away his rookie season. As he's being tested more and more throughout camp, the outside linebacker appears to be responding well.

LB Justin Houston: The rookie out of Georgia was impossible to miss with 2.0 sacks and a forced fumble against Baltimore. Aside from those big plays, Haley was impressed with Houston's overall performance as well.

Houston was the last rookie to report to camp, but appears to be catching up quickly. However, after Sunday's practice, Houston said he feels that he still has a long way to go.

"I'm expecting more out of myself," Houston said. "You can always get better. There were still mistakes out there that I need to correct and I've got work to do. I'm a long ways from where I want to be."

Houston would likely have been a 1st round pick if not for some "personal/character" issues, so clearly he is very talented.  Sheffield was a likely candidate to replace Vrabel, if not for a serious neck injury.
