Home Game !

A rare occurrence in the Milford schedule and the staff at Milford did a great job.

Food tents, apparel sales, a 2nd set of bleachers, everything arranged and organized to ensure that the visiting and home family and friends enjoyed the experience.

So, hats off guys and gals, great job !!

To the Milford folks in the, I guess, northern end zone with the RV, grills and other conveniences, what a great idea and setup !! You guys sure looked like you were making the most of what turned out to be a great day (weather wise).

So, week 1 was at Hudson Valley Community College.

Big CC campus in Troy, NY though the facilities looked like football wasn’t their primary focus.  That sure is a nice looking baseball stadium though !

Game was scheduled for 2pm but, oops, no officials.  So, seriously, you’re kidding me right ?  Whats up with that ?  Anyway, game got underway around 3:30′ish I think so alls well that ends well, except this one didn’t, at least from a Milford supporters perspective.

Not much else to say about week 1, closest game (for us) of the season travel wise and it was good to be back watching football.

Next week is a home game at New Berlin against Globe Institute.

See you there !!

So here we go, a new season, a new team, a new series of places to visit and watch the guys give their all.

There won’t be a lot, any actually, of commentary on the football here, thats not for me to comment on, I’m sure the coaches have got that well covered !!

And if I’m not just talking to myself, which is a distinct possibility, I have also created a Umapper page that lays out the Milford Academy season here ;  http://www.mcgivern.org/2008/07/milford-academy-08-schedule/ or at the Umapper site here ; http://www.umapper.com/maps/view/id/2177/

If you’re a Milford parent, family or friend, see you at the games !
