Has_been if you think otherways then that was not hippie lettuce it wass hippie fungus you were gnawing on.

If that's what keeps me faithful to my team then I'll have to keep gnawing b/c it's going to be a very long season.  Well, I have been a Lions fan for 29 years, so I've been on the hippie fungus for sometime now.

DePauw 38, Anderson 10
Manchester 33, Earlham 7
Waynesburg 21, Hanover 13

The Manchester score surprises me - thought Earlham would be an even matchup.

Can anyone tell me why the Lakeland College website says that the game was a tie 0-0?  Even there record is now 0-1-1.  I can't find any press release.  Pat do you know anything?

[nittanybacker]

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

[fc_alum_84]

Franklin wins 31-28  FC absorbed some questionable calls and some questionable game management.  Some sloppy play as well.  A win is a win on the road 2-0 the train rolls on to Trine in two weeks.

When the game is on the line, Ohio State folds like a chair holding up a 500-lb man.

It's like everyone gets caught up in the emotion of the game and they forget their technique, and reads. Not to mention Todd Boeckmann couldn't hold Claussen's jock strap. He will not be drafted by an NFL team and considering the situation he's in, pretty much tells you he's not very good. Overall I think Tressel had a great game plan, but poor execution when the game matters has been the key...which is what Ohio State will be known for after tonight.

Wabash College congrats to Franklin on beating Butler. Great job Grizzlies. Good luck the rest of the season.

73 rushing yards for DC & 75 yards last week!  At least this is a good thing for Franklin so they'll be able bring down their opponent's average offense per game .

Ah, it's okay Has_Been - just book some time in a New Mexico sweat lodge during fall break and relax with some botanical relief. 

Just wonder when the womens' volleyball and softball teams will join the gridiron contingent and rest of the college in seeking a least common denominator.  Statistical outliers are so passe.  Will be interesting to observe if RT's impersonation of Gene Hackman will yield results or sink into the Black Swamp, soils of Bernie Mikula's corn patch.   

Teardowns and rebuilds aren't always the best answers...
