As we count down the final hour until the start of the NFL Draft, some more coverage from papers across the country:

The Middletown, N.Y., Times Herald-Record’s Justin Rodriguez writes about Hobart guard Alex Bell. The (Portland) Oregonian writes about Brett Elliott’s date with irony, watching his former Utah backup, Alex Smith, potentially getting drafted No. 1. The Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch mentioned Hampden-Sydney running back C.W. Clemmons deep in a story about some Division I-A guy. And Frank Rajkowski of the St. Cloud Times talks with Gustavus Adolphus’ Ryan Hoag about his recollections of the 2003 draft

Alma and Wittenberg (dropped by Bethany and Thomas More) will now play each other on Sept. 17, in Week 3. The Alma/Aurora game moves to Sept. 10, Week 2.

This leaves Bridgewater still looking for an opponent, since BC and Wittenberg were in discussions about filling their mutual Thomas More date with each other.

Also, we received and posted Waynesburg’s schedule. They dropped Montclair State to fit Thomas More, so back to the drawing board for them. We’ve got three-quarters of the 2005 schedules posted now.
