MIAA is one of the weaker division three conferences I don't think a conference championship is even an automatic playoff bid.

Not many guys coming out of D-3 thats for sure. That doesnt in any way mean Chris Greenwood could not be an NFL Starter. Cecil Shorts and Pierre Garcon are both D-3 guys, both from Mount Union in the Ohio Athletic Conference. They are both solid NFL players. Antonio Gates played basketball at Kent State...he was drafted on pure athletic ability and he turned out to be a star. Am I guaranteeing Greenwood will be as good as any of those guys? No. But is it impossible? Heck No. I want to see the kid play, I'm not writing off him off without seeing him take the field.

It isn't impossible, but it is an extremely, extremely long shot coming out of the MIAA and becoming a starter in the NFL. As I stated earlier -- I transferred from a D-1 school where I played my 1st two years (should say, stood on the sidelines for two years) and followed my girlfriend to a MIAA school and played my last two years. The skill level from low D-1 to the MIAA was astronomical across the board. The MIAA was basically high school football. The biggest factor he has against him is the coaching. You do not get elite coaching at the D-3 level in the MIAA. My high school coach taught me more about technique and footwork than my D-3 college coach.

That is why I said -- Greenwood may develop into a starter, but it is going to take him a while before he develops into one IF he does (it was really bad luck on his part when he was injured and missed invaluable practice time last year). Until then, I'm sure you could use his speed and athleticism on special teams.

I call bullshit

....and goodnight

You can call whatever you'd like. As I said -- if I was going to make up a story regarding football -- the LAST place I would say I played is the MIAA. It is nothing more than high school football. Chris Greenwood played at Albion -- they have 1500 students TOTAL, which is big for the MIAA. Most schools in the conference have between 1000-1500, so basically the size of a class B high school.

Seems like such simple questions that you refuse to answer. hmmm

911 students or above is a class A school in Michigan. 449-910 is a B. Someday you say something on here thats factually accurate....someday.

my bad on the size of the high school -- been awhile since i was there. doesn't change the fact that the schools in the MIAA are tiny.

also, i already did say something factual -- you look like you are the size of your pop warner football players.

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

Seems like such simple questions that you refuse to answer. hmmm

what question won't i answer? if it is telling you my name or personal information. there is zero chance i would post that on an internet chat board. i don't know anyone on here and you'd have to be a fool to post personal info on a board like this.

if you'd like to know which MIAA school I went to -- I can tell you that. I transferred to Olivet College. It was about 20 miles or so from Albion. When I went there -- they only had about 850-900 students. Everyone knew everyone. The town/village of Olivet had 1 blinking stop light, 2 gas stations, 1 pizza place and 1 cop on duty, unless it was Sunday and they had none.

As I said -- if i was going to make up a story -- I would have made up something more impressive than going to a MIAA school for my last 2 years of eligibility.

 

[Coach_Ed_LPW]

Dont need personal info...just wanted to know what D-1 school...whether you were on scholly...and what years. Seems like it would be no big deal to say I played at CMU in 98-99 and Olivet 2000-2001. Noone needs you social security number guy.

if i wanted random people on the internet to have my real name -- I would give it out. by answering those questions -- it'd take you 2 seconds to have it.

as i said -- i couldn't care less if you believe me or not.

 

[Coach_Ed_LPW]

Good because I don't. I would bet no one else does either.

I don't care if you two said you were on dancing with stars. I would just say cool story brah!! Nothing like following a drama filled thread.
Free entertainment...

 

[Cleaves2000]

Lol funny stuff eh gandy

Me myself i found this statement entertaining....... "you look like you are the size of your pop warner football players".....

 

[Coach_Ed_LPW]

Shit Cleaves I've seen kids out there were 6'3. I'm the same size as Barry Sanders...not ashamed...plus getting things off the bottom shelf is no problem what so ever.

 

[Coach_Ed_LPW]

I would just say cool story brah!!

I wish I was capable of that Gandy...but I just can't help myself! At least you are entertained.

 

[Cleaves2000]
