That was the worst loss for CMU since a 50-0 loss to Westminster in 1971.  It's ashame the season has to end on that note, but that seems to be pretty common in the playoffs.  Last year, Bridgewater lost to Wesley 46-7 in the regional final, then Wesley lost to Wisconsin - Whitewater 58-6 in a national semifinal game.

Anyways, the 11 wins is quite an accomplishment - and the most for any CMU team in a single season.  With a good amount returning next year, it will be interesting to see what the Tartans do.

Let's go Tartans!

Thanks jaybird, but its always hard to tell what a team is going to come out and do.  As you know, folks have had their doubts about CMU all year long.  CMU has proved them wrong time and time again.  I'm not one for making predictions so all I can say is I hope people keep doubting them and they keep proving those people wrong.

Yeah, big game this week.  I'll go out on a limb and say Tartans 17, Wesley 13 because I'm sure everybody else will be picking Wesley.

The congratulations deserve to go to those players and coaches at CMU not me.  All I did was sit in the stands and cheer them on.  I am extremely happy with the win, but I must say after speaking with people about Millsaps I was stunned to watch the CMU defense shut down the Millsaps offense.  I believe Millsaps only had one redzone appearance and was picked off immediately after they got there.  For the most part CMU just let them have 5 and 10 yard outs, but everything else they had their clamps on.

Congrats to CMU and on to Wesley!!  Go Tartans!

Yeah, Millsaps was averaging 33 ppg during the regular season.  So that was a great defensive effort.  Wesley's offense is even better, averaging 39 ppg so the CMU defense is going to have their hands full again.  Looks like Wesley's only close game was a 13-10 win at Salisbury.  Salisbury ended the season with 5 losses, but they did beat W&J 32-14 so they must've been pretty good.

What are the chances of an all WPA regional final?
