Not like there are any Cougar fans here, but congrats to UMM!  My sister is an alum (I almost said she's a cougar ), so I texted her about their win.  She couldn't believe it.

Former Cougar football player here. The Cougs had 310 rushing yards on the day between their two great backs. ( Boss was all region last year) First conference win since 2006 and first playoff birth since the 1980's. The Cougars have battled their way from the basement of the UMAC to the very top. Coach Hoffman is building something special in Morris, MN.

Week 5 Picks
Westminster @ Crown
University of Minnesota Morris @ Greenville
This is a huge game for both teams, I personally think that this is the two top teams in the UMAC.
[I totally agree.  Seems a kin to having a conference championship game in week 1 of the UMAC schedule.]

Northwestern @ Martin Luther

I think that this game will absolutely be a shoot out. I think if Morris can shut down the run and force the QB to throw then it will be a very very good game. If they cannot shut down the run, I fear that the game will get out of hand fast.

Week 5 Picks
Westminster @ Crown
University of Minnesota Morris @ Greenville
This is a huge game for both teams, I personally think that this is the two top teams in the UMAC.
Northwestern @ Martin Luther

Week 4 picks
Northwestern @ Hope
Austin @ Crown
Minnesota Morris @ Lawrence
Adrian @ Greenville
Westminster @ Lyon

Week 3 picks
Martin Luther @ Augsburg
We saw how Augsburg handled UNW. I think that Augsburg wins this game.
Greenville @ Manchester
After last week, I think that Greenville collects themselves and gets a good win on the road.
Crown @ St. Scholastica
The Saints and the Polars battle this week, I think that the Saints win this one.
Wisconsin River Falls @ University of Northwestern
I think that River Falls wins pretty easily this week. The Eagles will battle hard but River Falls is a very good team.
Carleton @ University of Minnesota Morris
The Cougars continue a difficult non-conference slate with a game against Carleton this weekend. I do not think this game will be very close, but war damn the Cougars!!

Week 2 Picks
Eurreka @ Greenville
I think that this is a great match up for both teams, but personally think that Eurreka walks away with a close win.
Sewanee @ Westminster
I believe that this game won't be very close, but hey maybe the long bus ride gives Westy the advantage.
Concordia Wisconsin @ Northwestern
Here is another one that will be a great match up. Got to watch CW play Martin Luther last weekend, and I personally think that this will be a great game.
Simpson @ Crown
This may be the chance for Crown to get their first win of the year, along with a couple of other teams in the UMAC as well. I think that it can be a toss up but I am going with Simpson.
Macalester @ Martin Luther
I Watched Mac play last week, thinking that it will be a long afternoon for Martin Luther.
Hamline @ Minnesota Morris
I am picking Morris for this game. Bouncing back after a close one against a MIAC opponent, I think that the Cougars get it done this week and get their first win of the season.

Good to see a little action from the UMAC board.  Welcome!

Happy to be here! I will be following mainly the UMAC and MIAC this year (following the MIAC because some former teammates and coaches are working within the MIAC). Regardless, looking forward to a great season from both conferences! Any recommendations on what other conferences to follow as well?

Good afternoon everyone,

This is my first post here so thanks to everyone for reading. I am a big follower of the UMAC, and since it seems like there hasn't been any week 1 pick 'ems yet, I will get it started.

Crown @ Hamline
I am picking Hamline to win this match up. I think that Hamline's defense will hold crown, and that they may be too much for the Polar offense.
I am thinking that this game will be 47-17 HAMLINE
Greenville @ Concordia Chicago
I personally think Greenville will be one of the better teams in the UMAC once again. With Paul Garrett returning, he is bound to have another good season behind that seasoned offensive line. Greenville will be hard to beat this year bringing back returners on defense and offense.
I think that this game ends up 24-14 Greenville
Martin Luther @ Concordia Wisconsin
I still think Martin Luther is a little too young to compete this season. Concordia Wisconsin gave them a good game last year, and I believe that it will happen once again. I think Concordia wins this one and it will show that Martin Luther is still a little young/
This one will be 31-8 Concordia Wisconsin
University of Minnesota Morris @ Macalester
I really think that this is the year that UMM takes that next step and finally wins some non-conference games. The Cougars return eleven all conference players, only losing two to graduation. The cougars have a deep offense and defense, and I am very excited to watch this team this season. I personally think that this is their year to do something dangerous within the UMAC.
34-27 UMM
University of Northwestern @ Augsburg
UNW is another team that will be at the top of the UMAC, returning a solid group of players. I do not see UNW winning against Augsburg though. They also return quite a bit on offense and defense, so I think that this game will be interesting, but Augsburg will bring home the win in a close one.
24-10 Augsburg
Rhodes @ Westminster
This is another team that may be rebuilding this year. I fear that Westminster may have a tough year ahead of them. I think that Rhodes comes to them and it is a pretty long afternoon for the Bluejays
57-14 Rhodes

Remember that these are all of my own opinions, and that we are all allowed to have our own! Looking forward to posting more, and let's have a great football season!
