I'm not expecting much of a response but would anyone care to rank the top 3 Quarterbacks in MIAC history?

IMO, in no particular order:

Ramler - SJU: Great QB with a great supporting cast. Incredibly explosive offense keyed on Ramler's ability and leadership. Ran into the original MUC Machine in the playoffs.

Kirchoff - BU: Great QB,  finished as MIAC career yds record holder (since broken). Had good, but never great WR's. Pure passer, threw a beautiful ball. Wish he'd been healthy at the end of the 409 game, would have added a sweet piece of drama to an epic game.

Keating - SJU: Pure leadership. Had the best WR and most complete team of the 3 (obviously). Just always made things happen. Extended plays with his legs and made everyone around him better. He was a total 'gamer' who thrived most when it was all on the line.

Did you play in the 2003 game at Eau-Claire? That was my freshman year and the game that got me hooked on Bethel football. I remember Kirchoff being pretty much unstoppable.

Anyone watching the DII Championship game today? I just had to order ESPNU to see the DIII game.

my son jeremy moskow has a you tube video would love to know if he is a fit for any team in your conference, any feedback would be appreciated

Well... if he's not fit for any team in the conference then I reckon even using youtube would be beyond his capability.  Not having seen the video (kind of hard to see it with no link, eh?), I'm pretty confident that any team is fine.

I recommend Hamline.

Well said. I second your recommendation

TCF Bank was build with pro football in mind and it has pro caliber locker rooms and training facilities.  If they can get all the snow out of it, it will be a great place for an NFL game. 

In my opinion, it is the nicest facility (with one of the worst products) I have seen in the Big Ten.  I've been to Kinnick, Camp Randall, Champaign, the Big House, and the Shoe.  I'd rank them: (1) TCF (2) Shoe (3) Camp Randall (4) Big House (5) Kinnick (6) Champaign.

The only other Big Ten stadium I've been to is Kinnick and I would rate them about the same from a spectators perspective. In my opinion they are both pretty blah when compared to NFL stadiums. Ive been to ever NFL stadium except Arrowhead and Oakland and TCF wouldn't rank in the top 15. I totally agree that it will be a great place to play one NFL game because of the atmosphere an outdoor game in December will provide. Anything more than that would be a negative for the Vikes.

Or maybe I'm just bitter because I'm going to be freezing my butt off all day Monday    

Awesome performance Saturday from Mount Union. Very classy team and I've been impressed with how classy the Mount faithful/posters are.

HScoach you did an excellent job describing your team and pretty much all of your points held true. Also excellent job of setting the spread.

Best of luck in the championship and I hope Bethel gets an opportunity to play you guys again very soon!

24-7. Wow. Mount really came on after that slow 1st quarter.
UWW having trouble with Wesley, only up 10-7 at half.

I'm guessing Coach Johnsons halftime speech might go something like Gags quote on your signature

It is starting to look really ugly

Ouch  

Mounts defense sounds pretty amazing. Totally shutting down Flannery so far.

Not good but continuing to give them a short field was bound to catch up with us. Bethel really needs a drive now.

Royals D looks good. O can't move the ball, but the D is shutting down Mount early.

This is what Bethel does well - play from ahead. The longer this game stays close, the better chance they have.

It just hit me - they actually made an XP?

Who said we don't have a kicking game

Maybe we shouldn't watch? Bethel scored without the video feed... Go out again!

I can't get video to work either but the audio is good

An exciting start to the game!

7-0 Bethel after an interception return to the Mount 3 yard line. Mounts QB went down with an ankle injury while making the tackle.

Wow did Ohio College Football miss the boat not naming Mount Union sophomore Db Nick Driskill  All- D3.  He was the best DB in Division 3 this year.  OCF didn't even put him on the second team!  He should have been named the best DB in the OAC, but those awards rarely go to sophs, so I can somewhat understand.  But there is no excuse for OCF  Name me another DB who had as good a year?

How many other top DBs have you seen this year?

At the risk of being considered nasty, Driskill has three returns for touchdowns, Bethel has three total

The kid is a talent

Obviously the guy has talent. I'm just curious who else purple has seen in order to qualify his statement that Driskill is the best DB in D3 football. Reality Check laid out a pretty good argument that he is on par with the other top players at that position in the OAC.

Quote from: reality check on December 08, 2010, 10:16:24 AM
Driskill (MTU): 55 tackles, 3 sacks, 11 TFL, 1 forced fumble, 3 fumble recoveries, 5 INT for 112 yards and 2 TD

Jones (OTT): 55 tackles, 4 sacks, 13 TFL, 2 forced fumbles, 2 fumble recoveries, 2 INT for 117 yards and 1 TD

Michell (ONU): 49 tackles, 0 sacks, .5 TFL, 1 forced fumble, 2 fumble recoveries, 6 INT for 113 yards and 1 TD

Coward (ONU): 81 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 5 TFL, 2 forced fumbles, 1 fumble recovery, 6 INT for 54 yards and 0 TD

I'm not saying Driskill isn't worthy or a stud in his own right but I am saying that the OAC has plenty of talent at DB.  Jones and Driskill have very similar numbers.  Michell and Coward are very different because of the way they were used in the defensive schemes.  All 4 are very good and I would characterize all of their years as "very good".

How about we make it really really interesting and debate something...like...football?! All this talk about which team gets the honor of looking like Barney at the Stagg Bowl is making me sick. Everyone knows Royal Blue is the color of the week  

If only BU teams actually wore royal blue....not trying to be a smarta$$.  When did navy become the norm instead of royal blue?

That is an excellent question. I've always thought that is really odd.
