1995 for certain as Wooster, Witt, and Kenyon all qualified.  It was the first of a few years of 64 teams.  If I remember correctly, all three won in the first round, then Kenyon beat Wooster and BW beat Witt in the second round.  Kenyon then lost to eventual Runner-Up Manchester, coached by Steve Alford in the Sweet 16.

OMG what a comeback by CNU....

Wild and wooly finish in Albion as the Brits nail a 37 yard field goal into the wind for a 30-28 victory.  Olivet coaches then refused to let their team shake hands.  There has to be a story on that, but on the live stream you could see their coaches separating their players who tried to shake hands with the Brits.    Too bad as it was a very hard fought game and you could see lots of helmet taps and respect  on the field. 

What a game at Albion.  Two years in a row game decided by the kicking game.  Hope showed great moxie after having the ball at their own 1 yard line to move into position to win it in regulation, but Albion blocked the kick.  Earlier Albion needed a 2 pt. extra point to tie it up at 30.

Albion scores in OT and the Hope marches right back with a TD of their own, but the extra point is blocked.

Not a great day for kickers as Albion missed two XP as well

Another exciting installment in the Hope Albion Rivalry.

Chris Greenwood on the Vikings practice squad.  No idea if he choose Minnesota over Detroit or other offers.  Might be looking for best chance to play. 

Why does the ECAC still exist and why isn't there a Midwest version?

OWU Marietta was at Defiance, not at Marietta

Albion records a win over dII Northern Michigan 83-76.  Lead was 7-10 the last 10 minutes.  Great start for Brits.

Fantastic finish in Holland.  Both teams played well enough to win.  Heroic drives back and forth by both teams  the last 10 minutes of the game.  Two missed field goals the difference. Doink is a rough way to end the game/season.  Albion overcame that disastrous pick 6  before half with a very solid second half, but Hope had to feel good going up 4 with less than 2 minutes left. Britons showed champions heart on the game winning drive.

Albion earned the title with two tough road games against the two other best teams in the MIAA.  Well done Brits.

The AQ will be decided when Albion visits Hope and the Albion vs. Adrian game has no impact on that at all.  Hope is 4-1 with only one league game left, thus there cannot be a 3 way tie.  If Albion beats Adrian and loses to Hope, both will share the MIAA title, but Hope will advance to the playoffs.  If Albion loses to Adrian and beats Hope, they will be the only 5-1 team and will get the AQ.

Albion @ Adrian - I'll pick Adrian as they are at home and I'm sure will be really focused on rebounding after two disappointing losses these past two weeks.  Am I correct in saying that if they win and then Hope beats Albion, they get the AQ, right? By virtue of having beat Hope and Albion, if Hope/Adrian/Albion are tri-champs i.e. all with 2 league losses?

In the middle of the article on Carl Pelini resigning is the naming of his successor, Brian Wright 1994 COW grad (and former flag football teammate of mine at the Orrville Boys Club).
Good luck Brian!

Will the conference also review tape of hits that were helmet to helmet but weren't called?  Can schools appeal hits that were missed by officials but were clearly illegal hits ala the NFL? How soon before the league is reviewing multiple tapes per week?

My concern with the targeting and helmet to helmet rules concerns whether it is applied to both sides of the ball.  Think about peal back blocking on punt/kickoff returns, reverses and other examples were defensive players are in a vulnerable position.  Are they protected from targeting?  We all love those "de-cleating" hits, but if the same rules were applied to defenders, they should draw 15 yard penalties too.

Head safety is too important I think to only protect those carrying/catching the ball.

Victory formation in Gambier.  Lords running clock out on a 28-26 lead.  Nice win for KC.

Kenyon "recovered" the ball is what I saw on the video, but it's not great video.  The Kenyon coach was beside himself.  And just hearing the official say that the direction of the pass is immaterial is comical in the least.
