to put us both on the same side of the bracket

GREAT IDEA!

You probably should qualify that, same side of the bracket opposite the Cats.

I would never support having UWW and MU on the same side of the bracket.  Doing so would create a broken championship for sure (if I am reading this right).  Without a doubt, we can complain all we want about having repeated Purple Bowls, but in the end, it MUST be settled on the field.  Sooner or later, I think Wesley will break this duck once and for all.  They have tasted blood.....

Come to think of it, Rowan have a QB transfer fron Notre Dame/ Michigan State that was probably better than McSweeney.   

Negative.

That QB was Gus Ornstein,,and Mount won vs him,,and he was not the threat that McSweeny is with the run.Was also a very good baseball player.

Ornstein was the Rowan QB I was thinking of in the Stagg Bowl that I thought was really good. He didnt run, true....with his cannon he didnt need to. However the QB that I referred to as being equal to or better than McSweeney was another Qb from maybe the second round of the playoffs who was just a passing machine. He picked us apart and nipped us at the end to dash our hopes in the playoffs. It had to be back in the Billy Borchert era.

Speaking of Rowan...usually more talented and bigger because of transfers, but MUC rose above it to win it all. Kinda like what needs to happen Friday.

I would not be in favor of stacking the brackets, but I wouldn't mind a random draw for bracket seeding. If polls really have nothing to do with it and all records are equal for the #1s put them in a hat and draw for seedings. 1st out = 1, 2nd = 2, etc. then at least people would stop griping about it favoring UWW and UMU unfairly.

I would only have the random drawing amongst "undefeated" #1's.

Congrads to Chris Mayes for being selected to the 2011 AFCA All American Division III team for the second year in a row!  I really wish he could have played the season out.     It is a shame that McSweeny wasn't chosen as well.....

Teamski, I believe the AFCA DIII AA team only allows 1 player per school to be recognized.

Would have been sweet to see what Mayes would have been able to do vs. Mount. The D-line still played well. We were also without Duke Herald, and a nickelback that wouldve helped. If i recall I think that Sean Hopkins was playing some defense last Saturday. It was still a great game and a heck of a season!

Excited for next year. Will be interesting to see how much Sottilare improves. Wesley will definitely miss the ability of Shane McSweeny though. On offense, we lose #75 Buettner, and Sean McAndrew as well. The recievers are all coming back with more experience. Ishamar Malcolm may spell McAndrew next season, with Tambua Bradford as more of a blocking TE.  And on D, we lose DE Mayes, LB Aseidu, LB Morgan, CB Howard, DT Gilstrop and a few others I believe. So a lot of spots to fill. I think Phil Cooper or Aamir Petrose will take over at DE sometime. Cooper looks like a good ballplayer. I think losing Jeff Morgan was the biggest. He had a heck of a season. I can see Kirk Brooks, and Sosthene Kapepula coming in and taking over and anchoring the LB spots. The secondary will be a year better. Leon Jones would get beat sometimes but he made a lot of big big BIG plays. I think he will be a lot of fun to watch next season with a little more experience under his belt.

I know it's a different level, but Sean was a very good dback in high school and is extremely athletic.  I thought he was actually better on D than as a receiver back then.  I would have liked to have seen him get a few more opportunities back there all year, particularly since we were weak in that area.

Hope I'm not jinxing us but it has seemed the past several years that Wesley has been able to reload quite nicely between players improving each off season and getting some good new talent.  The continued exposure for the program should be a draw for this year's high school graduates to help keep that trend going.  The players Waterboy mentioned all have big things ahead if they keep progressing.

Teamski, I believe the AFCA DIII AA team only allows 1 player per school to be recognized

.   
That's just silly.  Guess they feel they have to share the love, but if Shane isn't AA I don't know what is (nothing against Mayes).

How many more weeks until the first game of 2012?  Perhaps I should start asking Santa now for a trip to the Stagg Bowl next year.....

That is why the AFCA list is way more politically correct than accurate, IMHO.

I'm VERY late to the party on this but just saw the "highlight" video in post #5370.

After watching that one would think Mount Union won by something like 77-0!!

You need to watch the game on ESPN3 to get the whole picture.  It is still available to see.  I have been watching the game in portions I can consume.  It is hard to watch seeing all of the possible permutations the game could have taken.  What a great team Wesley had this year.  They really did themselves proud on TV.
