Coach P

THats what I thought, but the other post made it sound as if he was gone...... Clay is a Great Young man.... I used to work a lot of Camps with him.

Where did Young Coach Mannering go?

LOL, I'm just digging for some info..... What is the style of play there, who are the teams to beat, what teams have players, but perhaps under performed.

I don't know much about this conference. What can you all tell me about it? Just fishing for information....

Have you ever watched a game film of the HCC... The line play is extremely good, and except for this past year, the defenses in the conference are very good. How can you say the HCC is soft... you can't stop those ground games with soft players......

You are alone on that my friend........ February football in Indiana is gonna be brutal. I know Ft. Wayne right now is covered in snow and its brutally cold all over. Not exactly condusive to prime practice situations. As a fan, I am prepared for the elements, but i'm guessing attendance will be lower and I'll miss the atmosphere of a beautiful fall day. I know for a fact St. Francis has practiced outside in the elements quite a bit. I think through this brutal cold stretch they are practicing in a dome somewhere in Ft. Wayne.

I believe Marian is playing this Saturday and home and then has a bye week..... Its gonna be freezing!! Good Luck Knights!

I would bet you, that Marian and St. Francis in most years would beat UIndy and Butler and compete with ISU. SO Yes in your thinking of their classification, you are right, but in terms of talent.... I disagree.

Everyone has a connection or knows someone regardless of conference blood oaths. The other thing now is, that many of the games are on youtube or other streaming... Just trade the film........

Really? Rarely do we get a team who will not share endzone film... its a fair trade, why would you not trade that?

I'm sure you just meant a higher division when you said a step up....

I know for sure, Families will get in. But you are right about the county by county thing. I would suggest calling the athletic departments at your chosend school and enquiring. I am sure Marian will have tougher standards then others, because Marion County is more restricted then others right now. I think St. Francis will be more open then some of the others.

Coach D pushed to get the class and hired Vanderbush.

I have had the great fortune of coaching against and working for Coach "D" at his Camps. The man is a wealth of knowledge and is a great motivator. He also has a great knack for handling personalities and making them all work together. He is a true leader. Coach "D" was also the first guy to have in school weight classes. It was because of him, that everybody else started getting them. He also started using Camps to improve his players in an era when summers were not open. Anyone who does not think Coach "D" would have not been successful wherever he coached just doesn't understand what h

If any of you are needing a football fix in the near future, the State's NAIA programs begin their season in a couple of weeks. Look for St. Francis, Marian, Taylor and IWU on the Grid Iron soon. It's gonna be cold, but these athletes and coaches have been working hard to prepare!! If you get a chance, go out and support them! If youhave never been to see these teams, I think you will be surprised at the High QUality of play. St. Francis and Marian are pernnial national powers at this level and the rosters are full of Indiana kids!! Put on your long underwear and head to one of these stad
