No, they're certainly not. Mac will be carrying the burden of a family tragedy, and has to work on making a team with twice the number of freshmen as...

They weren't bad last season. I have no idea how they are this year....

[Ship69]

I'm sure rooting for Mac and Ship, but I see no basis for favoring them in this game unless you're counting on the 7.5 points....

I'll have to give that year's Clarion coaches credit for going 8-3 with a team with that few a number of seniors. As you say, I think the transfer portal...

[Ship69]

I'm sure that is the case, and I can't imagine what he is going through. That said, the coaching staff at Ship still has a responsibility to do the best...

A classic example is a Northwestern-Notre Dame game I attended in South Bend in 2014. It had snowed the day before, and the ND staff had swept the snow...

Congrats. Another of our low-level Pa. FCS Titans, St. Francis, did the opposite of Bobby Mo and actually picked off Kent State over the weekend. The...

[Ship69]

For whatever reasons, and I claim no insider knowledge or understanding here, Ship has reached something of a crossroads in its program. We've gone in...

A lot of it is usually based on name recognition. After winning the natty last year, Michigan is getting a lot of love. But that certainly doesn't look...

[Ship69]

Good one. It's going to go one of two ways. Either they'll take their lumps this year, learn the ropes, and have a pretty good team in a couple of years,...

Read the Shippensburg season preview today. We have four guys with senior eligibility and 63 with freshman eligibility. Think I'll fasten my seat belt...

[Ship69]

Yeah, I thought the uniform overall was interesting, but I couldn't tell what they were trying to get with the helmet. I should add that I'm an old codger...

[Ship69]

Nice win for you guys. Actually I think you'll find Ship was last in the PSAC in offense last season. Unfortunately, it's not something you forget. Looking...

On paper it looks like a decent class for Bloomsburg. Bloomsburg and Ship both had a rough time last season. It's difficult to see either contending for...

[Ship69]

You are right in that it's all relative. Very few of us at other PSAC schools will buy an "IUP is down" narrative in football unless we see...

The real death knell for most newspapers came when online sites started grabbing off the classified advertising that had become the last bastion of most...

[Ship69]

One of my grandsons had a cup of coffee on the Geneva College team and I was amazed how many kids they had on their roster. It probably was 120 or mo...

[Ship69]

A lot of it will depend on how the D1 schools decide to allocate their scholarships. They'll be able to offer partial scholarships in football for the...

As someone who worked in print journalism for 30 years, I can tell you it has always been about money to an extent because those of us who worked in it...

It's a long way from the days of Joe Montana on the Mon....
