Impressed!

Impressed! That is about the only way to describe my trip down to Hillsdale today.

Impressed by the building and development happening on campus and the quality of student attending the college.

Impressed by the tailgating atmosphere around Muddy Waters Stadium. Both sides of College Street were packed as well as the grass lots near the sports complex. Alumni, families, and Hillsdale students were enjoying a great fall day for football.

Impressed by a packed student section fully engaged in the game. When I played, it was more like a dinner party at a doctor's house.

Impressed by the Charger defense's resilience and ability to shut Ashland completely down while the Charger offense built a lead.

Impressed by Hillsdale's ability to control the game completely. They ran 28 more plays than AU and held the ball an entire quarter in time of possession

Impressed by all of the weapons the Chargers have on offense. Waldie, Gurica, Nelson, Blanchard, Kegg, Panizzi, Campbell.

Impressed by Mark Nicolet. School record 426 yards passing. 3 more passing TDs, a rushing TD, and after getting cheap shotted out of bounds by an Ashland player, he keeps the ball on the next play, puts his shoulder down, and runs over a defender.


It was everything a small college football fan could want!
