Re: MIAA 2024
Lake Forest over Hope this weekend?!? Plus both teams wore white jerseys… cmon man! Dawgs doubled up against the albino squirrels. Can’t give up 64 shots. Assuming the SIDS are doing their jobs ‘accurately’ 🙄, Adrian’s opponents averaged 44 shots a game last year. 20 shot unfavorable margin for one ...

Re: MIAA 2024
Anyone catch the Albion games? Not sure if it’s time to hit the emergency button or early season jitters. Albion - plays tight against Otterbein (may be rebounding after a disappointing 2023 season) and Denison but then has double digits hung up on them by Kenyon. Purple Lords have been trending upw...

Re: MIAA 2024
Do games against NAIA teams not count for the regular season? Alma seemed to treat it as one on their schedule. Trine is as well. I guess it depends on who you talk to… are teams wearing pinnies or jerseys? At the end of the day, I’d say no since it doesn’t matter for conference tournament or a poo...

Re: 2021 Coaching Carousel
Without question, each coach has had their own challenges (both controllable and uncontrollable) as the program has evolved. None have inherited it cleanly wrapped with a bow on top under the Christmas tree. I can’t speak about Coach Paul’s tenure, but I imagine this is the cleanest passing of the b...

Re: 2021 Coaching Carousel
Ambrose AD is hot garbage… Now, if you are an ambitious coach that can work independently and successfully fundraise to get past budget restrictions, Ambrose isn’t a bad landing spot. Quad Cities are affordable with plenty to do on the weekends. ~2.5 hours west of Chicago with a relatively easy recr...

Re: MIAA 2023
Anyone have any insight into the Alma coaching or team situation? Hoping that this isn't a sign that they won't be around. The Cabrini situation, while different, makes me wonder about the level of institutional support available at MIAA schools. Not sure about the financial health of MIAA schools ...

Re: MIAA 2023
For the ‘fifth’ year in a row, we’ll see a Hope vs Albion championship. My pick is Albion. Congrats to Kzoo on a program best! Dawgs need to do some soul searching this off-season. More question marks heading into the summer than last fall. The lack of upperclassman and consistency at the faceoff X ...

Re: MIAA 2023
19-5 at half… sheeeesh! Amazed the bussy didn’t drive away and let the boys walk home. This does not surprise me one bit about Adrian. Face off X is struggling, 55% on the clear, and losing the ground ball battle (even after carving out faceoffs). Can’t expect to take the next step when you can’t do...

Re: MIAA 2023
Circle the calendar - April 29th for Trine vs Kzoo. Assuming Kzoo wins, we would see the following conference tourney and semi matchups:
(4) Kzoo at (1) Albion
(3) Adrian at (2) Hope
(4) Kzoo at (1) Albion
(3) Adrian at (2) Hope

Re: MIAA 2023
Tuesday pick ‘em… Calvin over Kzoo Albion over Trine Hope over Adrian First two games are pretty straight forward. I’m a lover of the sauce Wetzel is brewing down south but this squad is still a year or two away from returning to the promise land. Unfortunately when they get punched in the face, the...

Re: MIAA 2023
Maryland’s MIAA (high school) teams would beat these teams. SKUD… nice of you to join us. Thanks for poking our southern neighbors in the NCAC thread. Gave me a good chuckle. Not sure I want BIGDAWG roaming these woods. Good joke… I remember hearing that one 10 years ago. Maybe hit the drawing boar...

Re: MIAA 2023
Weekend pick ‘em… Adrian over Calvin - not feeling too hot about this pick. Dawgs kept starters on the field for the entire Alma game. Either the depth is questionable or the starters need more reps. Not a positive sign in my eyes… Calvin is better than I expected. Hope over Trine - Thunder need to ...

Re: MIAA 2023
I’m late to the show but my picks were Albion, Trine, and Adrian. My caveat for the Trine/Calvin game was Calvin’s 2-3 difference makers on offense may trump Trines inexperience. I haven’t watched any of the game so far but the box score tells a tale of who can hit the cage and who can’t…

Re: MIAA 2023
MIAA conference play begins this weekend… thoughts on the previous weeks OOC picks and Saturdays upcoming games. Previous weeks picks for OOC: 1. Albion = 3/3 (Carthage/Southwest/NCC) 2. Hope = 1/2 (IWU/Southwest) 3. Adrian = 0/1 (OWU) 4. Trine = 0/0 (ONU - cancelled) 5. Calvin = 0/2 (Elmhurst/NCC) ...

Re: MIAA 2023
Agreed… my mid-season eval/thoughts: 1. Albion - Expectation was 5-2 for the champs. The Kenyon score margin is throwing me off, but it’s pretty tough to play catch up when the Owls (RIP Purple Lords) are dominating at X. 2. Hope - can’t wrap my head around this team and the chatter has been quiet ...
