We win about 85-90% of the games that should be 100% hard/stone cold locks, so we have a good chance.

Could be tough one. In an epic battle Kentucky Wesleyan took Sienna Heights down to the wire two weeks ago before losing by 2. Hopefully we will catch the Panthers looking ahead to their clash vs Urbana next week.

Here are the highlights from their season-opener with the U (of Indianapolis)
I actually kind of feel bad for these guys.

did you also notice that they're playing Notre Dame on a high school field? Literally.

According to the box score, they had 1,200 in attendance for their home game this past weekend.

My gosh. These kids don't know what they are in for on Saturday night.

Not trying to be condescending here- I actually think it would be interesting to be around them when they experience our facilities.

Let me try this again..
ThIs will be a George Michael game. " wake Me Up Before You Go Go.". This is purely stocking and stat stuffer. And a chance for some on the defensive line to get in game shape.

Does anyone konw the status of Mike B? that hit he took late in the 4th quarter looked like a knee, quad or groin injury. He was in a lot of pain on the sideline and loked like he was hobbling around in that last series. Do you think that DR will start Tyler against KWC and give MB a week to heal before the BS games start.

I am anxious to hear a report on Mike's health today as well. Regardless of his condition, I would expect him to be VERY limited this week. It would also be good to have Tyler build some confidence.

He told me Saturday that his hip "got all twisted up." He said he expects to be fine, but that's pretty much what I expected him to say.

We'll know more at Tuesday's presser. I doubt he practices this week at all. He didn't practice much last week either.

Mike Brown, Gagliardi, Pat Kelly, Aldreakis, and any others banged up shouldn't play. I would say don't play Summers, but we have records he has to break! :lol:

Treat this like a bye week.

I think we need to suit up BJ and strap some pads on him: he's been dying to "hit somebody." :shock:

Just talked to Mike. His hip is still really sore. Was sent in for an Xray earlier today and is on his way to get an MRI as I type this....

Mike Brown, Aldreakis, Pat Kelly, and Matt Bevins are all out per Lang. No surprise there.

So I'm actually more excited to see this game now. Get a little preview of next year's QB.

Fair decision to sit all of them...this is essentially another bye week so allowing them to rest and recuperate is a smart idea...Im guessing Tyler will be starting then?

No, I'm thinking we burn the shirt on Gabe and start him.
