5-0 Norwayne wouldn't be news. 3-2 Norwayne would be. See the difference?[/QUOTE
Sure couldn't have put this any better myself. I fully expected Norwayne to run over the entire league and breeze to 10-0 this year. Now I think Hillsdale and NW both have a shot at winning the league and beating the Bobcats.
Lets face it, if the Bears had a kicker, that game becomes even more interesting.
Give the bears some credit for playing at much higher level one year removed from 0-10.

Breaks for good teams and bad teams could alter their records. This has nothing to do with the quality or lack of quality of a team.

Most every program runs its cycle. Norwayne is no different. But, they are still a good team this year, and should be 8-2 at the worst. Still a good standard.

Bobcat;1510021 wrote:Yes 9-1 or 8-2 is a good record I just think that all of us Norwayne fans have gotten a little spoiled. We still have a good team and we should be happy about it. I think we're just adjusting to not destroying everyone we play.

Nice to see the Bears playing well again.

I think Harris has a better chance of keeping his scholarship. Lets hope his injury is not bad..

I think everyone understands the value in getting a scholarship, good for him.
But I do believe as long as you are stating facts they can be discussed. I think if I am knocking anyone it is the Akron recruiters, I know Div. 3 recruiters that would not touch this kid, How is it that he gets a D1 ride?
Yes, it is interesting to watch because it makes no sense at this point.

jaco;1510484 wrote:Just look at the crappy stunt OSU pulled on the McGee kid pitching for them. Had a full ride, and then between his freshman and sophomore years had his scholarship pulled. That's dirty. If he'd taken a full ride with a MAC school or such it would've never happened. I'd rather have an offer pulled than a scholarship. At least you have time to change course.
