Putting "NFL Hopes" in quotes doesn't make any sense, do they not hope to play in the NFL? lol

I mean, I hope to date Sydney Sweeney

Do McMurry and Schreiner count as non-cheeseburger teams?

QuoteMount Union head coach Geoff Dartt is 56-4 at the Division III Ohio powerhouse. Though the program hasn't won a national title since 2017, Dartt has reached the national championship game twice in the last three years, including last season. The former Mount Union player has spent all but one year since 2017 with the Purple Raiders. Lance Leipold made the move from Division III to the MAC and won at Buffalo. Could another coach do the same?

Toledo defensive coordinator Vince Kehres was Mount Union's head coach from 2013 to 2019, winning two Division III national titles. The 48-year-old knows Ohio through and through, and he regularly has produced one of the top three defenses in the MAC since arriving in 2020.


Vince seems like a perfect candidate for the job

unless VK is dead set on becoming a HC right now, he might want to wait it out.  With spring ball starting up in a matter of days, a new 30 day transfer portal window for BGSU players its going to be a tough, tough start for the new head coach.  former NDC coach Mike Jacobs sounds the favorite right now if you trust the interwebs

Sorry, the position has been filled by Eddie George of Ohio State and Tennessee Titan fame.


at least there will be some continuity in Alliance this spring.  It also doesn't seem like we'll be getting an Offensive Coordinator, because why would we?  The play calling has been pristine over the past 5 years....

JCU seems to be in the tourney either way, Mount needs to win to continue their season.  Parker, the all-time Purple Raider, needs to win to play another game.

23.5% FG 18% 3P 2nd half numbers should be posted all over.  dribble-dribble-fade away was terrible

The only thing on Saturday that would surprise me would be a Mount blow-out.  I could see a close Mount win, a close JCU win or a JCU blowout if Mount wants try a 3P shootout.  Hopefully both teams play their A games and we get a fantastic final OAC battle.

Quote from: Dr. Acula on February 28, 2025, 09:36:32 AMReading the article in the Rep and there was an interesting note from Fuline.  Other than the COVID-shortened season of 12 games, this is Mount's sixth straight appearance in the OAC championship game.  From where the program was when he took over that's unbelievable.

those 18-19/19-20 Mount teams really took the program to a whole different level.  The way 19-20 was playing before getting the rug yanked out....Fuline likely would have had two Final Four appearances in three seasons

D3fan is right on and to my dissappointment being an ONU alum I think we can count ONU out of the race. They hired an outstanding coach and staff but the administration is just too reluctant to spend or raise any funds for athletic facilitiy improvements. Nothing has been done to the 18,000 sqquare ft. sports center in over 30 years. Compare that to Musky's 120,000 Sq. ft. Bullock Health & Wellness Center and Berg's new 110,000 Sq. ft. Athletics & Health Center and that really puts ONU coaches behind the eight ball when they are trying to recruit athletes to compete in the OAC. It's gotten so bad that they don't even want to maintain buildings used for general offices and academics such as Hill Memorial. I'm a frustrated Polar Bear. :-\

after seeing what JCU and Berg are building, what Muskie built, etc...I'm concerned that Mount Union is getting passed by in the facility game, Gulling might just not cut it any longer.  If other OAC schools are putting in 50-60 yard indoor fields, Mount should have a full length indoor facility.  The Capers Football Center is great for coaching/team meetings/film but I think it's time for the Sirianni-Garcon-Harter Indoor Athletic Facility to be built.  It's an arms race, and Mount Union cannot lose

Maybe they can get Coach Campbell to kick in as well.

now we're talking.

Mount has like 3 full-length practice fields outside the stadium, I'm not sure having an indoor football facility probably doesn't add that much value.



outdoor practice facilities probably rank pretty low on the recruit interest spectrum

Quote from: Dr. Acula on February 26, 2025, 10:40:18 PMThe career rushing and scoring leader at West Branch, son of a Mount alum, is going to BW.  Upheaval.  A Dumb and Dumber "our pets heads are falling off" moment.  He even thanked Echeverry in his commitment post.  Good luck to him 9 weeks a year.

the Mount Union RB room might be just a little deeper than the one in Berea...although Shaun Thomas is no longer listed on the '25 roster at Mount

Early prediction based on schedule looks like 7-3.

7-3? how the mighty have fallen

Yeah. Until proven otherwise, not sure why the 2025 team w a new QB, OC and DC should have higher expectations.

But hey, the 2007 team had a new QB, OC and HC and snagged championship number one.

I agree, why not? Redshirting becoming a WIAC only thing again should really help out.  Whatever it takes to stop this NCC slobfest

FT and 3P shooting? Who's the new guy?
