AC 13, ETBU 10.

Nice job Roos.

Really surprising result...

And they did it without attempting so much as a single pass.

This old Roo has been waiting for this!   

I believe ESPN+ is also available through a Hulu subscription.

So, for the HSU fan, this weekend I think we have to hope that the following things happen:
John Carroll beats Baldwin Wallace  29-28
Cortland beats Ithaca  28-27 Done
RPI beats Union  19-17 Done
St. John's beats Bethel 29-28 Done
This knocks out BW, knocks out Ithaca and Union, and keeps us from having to worry about the Johnnies. Obviously, some shocking losses from Wheaton and BSC would also help us—but that's much less likely than the 4 results mentioned above.

Everyone of those games was incredible!

AMEN!!!!!

Congrats to the Warhawks.  They were obviously the better team today!  Good luck for the next two weeks.  It always sounds better when you lose to the National Champions. 

On a side note as I got to the game, I parked near where the UWW fans were gathering and briefly stopped to visit with a few of them and guided a couple of them to the ticket booth for tickets.  As has always been the case, those I spoke to were genuinely nice folks!!  Mr. Wisniewski, you had to be proud of the great catch your son made on that deep post pattern.  Good luck to him for the remainder of this year and next year as well.

yall be safe, have fun

My bad... it was 04 against Linfield. Yall had a backer that scooped a bal up near the goal line and ran it back. I really thought yall had won, but not the case, as I remember it was ruled a TD for linfield... but... my memory is not as it use to be
I am staying home for this one
keep the faith

My son was that linebacker and still swears he pulled the ball from Elliott's hands before he crossed the goalline.

I know coach Fred is not going anywhere unt ikl he calls it quits but if he ever decides to hang it up, which coach should the Cru go after? 2 that come to mind that came from the Texas coaching ranks would be coach Bell who is at Baylor right now or coach Dodge who is at Westlake right now. Both are very offensive minded and would take UMHB to the next level offensively. Most believe Harmon would be promoted but I believe he should keep that defense rolling as DC. What say you?

Would probably be a pay cut for either of them, so you would have to have someone motivated to lead a prominent small school program in exchange for earning less.  Dodge was not successful as a college coach, but he was at UNT where he didn't have the embarrassing wealth of resources he's had both stops of his high school career (Southlake Carroll and Westlake are both *very* affluent schools with a boatload of fundraising).   According to USA Today Dodge was making $150K at the end of 2018, and I imagine Bell makes at least that.

Why shouldn't Coach Harmon get a shot?  He has been there since the beginning and has been the number one assistant for many years.  It seems to me that someone with the knowledge of stopping high powered offenses might know something about running one. He has been part of making the Cru what they are today and would likely be able to continue their success, In my book, loyalty should go a long way and until he proves he cannot maintain that current status, he remains my number one choice!

AC beat Centre 20-13. The Roos stop the colonels with a goal line stand starting with first and goal from the AC 5 yard line. The Roos  took over with 2 seconds left on the clock.   Congrats to my Roos!

One of my fishing guides on my trip to Alaska was a graduate of UW-Lacrosse.

This past week I was attending the Texas High School Athletic Director's State Conference in Waco, Texas.  I ran into Steve Lieb, former coach at Oshkosh and maybe some other Wisconsin schools?  We were able to share some info on D3 football as well as some of my travels in Wisconsin and the fact my great grandfather is buried in Lacrosse.  Enjoyed our conversation immensely!

Johnnie fans,

I have been unable to post for a few days due to unforeseen circumstances.  However, I wanted to say a few things about our game last Saturday.  St. John's has an outstanding team led by a great quarterback.  In my opinion, Erdmann is the best QB the Cru has seen since Linfield's Brett Elliott in 2004.  This was a game of big plays and fortunately the Cru made the last one. Congratulations on a great season!

I am saying neither of the things you said.  My argument is with the statement I quoted from your post which inferred;

1) because UMHB faced poorer passing oriented teams they gave up fewer yards passing.  I am saying we gave up fewer passing yards to better passing teams. 
2) Couldn't teams pass us against us as much as they did because we stopped the run and because they were trying to keep up with our early and high scoring offense as well?


Also, in answer to your post while I was typing this, no reasonable ASC poster would think St. John's doesn't have a chance  We have been in the playoffs and lost enough times to know that any given Saturday n the playoffs anyone can eat anyone else!

Aha!  I understand.  The numbers against UHMB are what they are because the Crusaders so utterly dominate ASC competition.  And that competition is tougher than the MIAC - at least as far as passing goes.

So my observation that UHMB runs a run-heavy offense and faces run-heavier offenses than the Johnnies face was not correct. The stats imply that but it's not true.  The Cru distort the stats with their awesomeness.

I'm being a little facetious here in order to make a point.  I simply argued that the Johnnies run a pass offense unlike anything the Cru have encountered and I reckon that will give the Jays a shot.  And the response is not only am I wrong, but that the MIAC is built on a statistical house of cards.

Maybe that's the case.  Maybe the Cru so dominate that statistics in their favour are truth and stats that are not in their favour are distorted by their presence like a black-hole distorts time/space.  But I doubt it.

I reckon (short of a turnover disaster which happens from time to time in the post season much to us fans' chagrin) that the Jays will give the Crusaders a contest unlike anything they have seen this year.  The Jays defense is fast but usual.  The offense is creative and different, even for a Johnnie O.  And things like the type of yards against each team, sack ratio and interception/fumble ratio make me think that the Cru have not been facing offenses like the Johnnies' O.

Okay, there is no way I can match your fluent hyperbole.  The style of your posts is so different from the creampuffs on the ASC boards, that are much kindler and gentler, that I will not try to respond any further other than to say that all of the so-called Purple Powers get tired of statements like that bolded above.  We will part ways and may the best team win this Saturday!

2003:  poster child for a team not being tested before the Stagg.   Very average Mount team with rotating QB's and RB's, none of which were difference makers that had it way too easy and therefore their flaws weren't exposed until it was too late.   Playoffs went 39-14 over LaCrosse, 56-10 over Wheaton, 66-0 over Bridgewater in semi-finals and lost Stagg to St John's 24-6.  Team was lacking strong senior leadership and was coming off 3 consecutive undefeated championships and honestly felt entitled.  Didn't play with near the urgency throughout the season that the title teams before or after them did.  The easy path thru the regular season and playoffs just fed their inflated ego that they were untouchable.  SJU quickly proved that wasn't the case.

I recall a lot of chest-thumping, "best Mount team ever" comments prior to the 2003 Stagg.  Hindsight is 20/20!

I doubt it was HScoach doing the chest-thumping.  He is pretty even-keeled when discussing MTU Football and usually "tells it like it is."

It was probably Purplesuit. He was the worst.

Or maybe 70sraider?

Oh man, he was a piece of work too.

My vote goes to Purplesuit!

SJU/UMHB Game Notes are up.

Again ignoring second half distortions, MHB face more ground oriented offenses while SJU faces more air attack.  I imagine teams try the air against MHB because they can't move on the ground while teams try the air against SJU because they must keep up with the high and early scoring offense.

We also have a more high scoring offense than St. Johns.  I think your bolded statement is in error. 

Alternatively, you may be arguing that the ASC offenses are much more balanced that the stats against the Crusaders implies.  So that mean the Cru stop the run much more than they stop the pass?  Ok, I'll accept that.  Or you're saying that teams never changed up schemes and play the same thing against each side.  I'm hip with that philosophy as well if that's how the Cru approach game prep.

I am saying neither of the things you said.  My argument is with the statement I quoted from your post which inferred;

1) because UMHB faced poorer passing oriented teams they gave up fewer yards passing.  I am saying we gave up fewer passing yards to better passing teams.
