OAC traitor! 

Reminder to cancel your ESPN plus subscriptions if you are like me and only subbed to watch the playoffs 

The games in Salem when Mount played had like 3K in attendance.  A lot easier to drive there from Alliance versus Texas.  Having to get plane tickets and hotel room for a far destination is a big ask from a level of football who's each teams fanbases are pretty small, and college enrollment is rarely over a few thousand.  Being late on Sunday night also makes it hard for those who work on Monday.  I imagine most of the attendance was the family/friends of players. 

Even for the big D1 teams, some of those more meaningless bowl games I watched this year had pretty empty stadiums.

That being said most of D3 football is Midwest/NE a site being close to those would benefit fans who want to travel.

They looked set to, but let the clock tick away 

Quote from: pradierguy on January 05, 2025, 11:15:34 PMWould've preferred a blowout. This was a winnable game for Mount Union.

Not taking a single thing away from NCC. They performed all night long and are deserving champions.

Another Stagg Bowl loss and this one falls squarely on the shoulders of the coaching staff. Not sure they'll even get back to the pinnacle with the current staff in place. Incredibly disappointing.

You said what I was about to say.  A first half blowout would have been less disappointing to me than this game.

"certainly some people will be questioning the coaching decisions for Mount"

-D3Football.com Broadcast

Indeed

Unless Mount Gets a TD here, I think NC is gonna run away with this

EDIT: And a TD happened

Why would they run it !

worst coaching decision

...And an easy answer by NC

Perfect first drive

NCAA mulling giving all athletes five years of eligibility

Mount players need those Tennessee 3/4" cleat-gate soccer cleats for the game 

I think Bama will pull ahead on this game but I hope it shuts up some of the Bama should be in the playoff folks

Trying to setup the final round of the OAC pick-em.

Is it safe to assume Deshields will be the starting QB?

I checked a few of the computer predictions and Hansen Ratings seem to be the least in favor of Mount
