    Conference record predictions

    Leaning toward a 9-9 conference record and Lipsey being first team all conference. I have a feeling the weak schedule will backfire to begin the conference schedule and by the middle of the season we'll be humming along.

    School Hazing

    How disgusting that this seems to be growing in schools of late. Looks like this school took immediate action when they found out via expulsion but some schools don't take much action if any for some reason. http://www.kcci.com/news/at-least-6-hazing-victims-reported-at-iowa-school/36080618

    which team is better this years team or 2001?

    I just saw that we matched 2001's win total and am kind of surprised we matched that teams win total. Both teams are obviously very talented but 2001 was a team that was great on the defensive end and this years team is great on the offensive end. Either way great rosters for both teams and very...
