Only thing is that drastically going to impact attendance is which 2 teams make it.  Mount and UWW will bring who they always bring.  Get 2 new teams, preferably from less than 4-6 hours away and you'll see a big jump.  Otherwise it will be the same regardless of Sat night, Sat morning or Friday night.

Muskingum leads ONU 20-7 at the half.

1:06 left in the 3rd and it's now 27-7 in favor of the Muskies.  Are you serious? 

That really sucks for next week's match-up.  I went into this season thinking this might be as weak as the OAC has ever been in the last 20+ years, and it's looking more & more like I was right.  ONU goes to OT with Otterbein and now losing big to Muskingum?  Yikes.

Wow!  Is there a playoff-caliber #2 OAC team this year?  Will the Sallies beat up on the Susies and eliminate the "almost automatic bid?"  Yes, it is early, but you gotta be rootin' for the Fightin' Fish!!!

Hey... S'up realitycheck!?!?

3 turnovers inside the 5 will not win you very many ball games. Nuff said.

8 seconds into 2nd quarter, Jasper Collins in for the score. MU 21, Wilmington 0.

Just read the recap and saw that the Jackets fumbled at the Cap 5 w/ 2:17 to go and Cap proceeded to go 95 yds in 2 min for the winning score.  That's a tough loss.  Hopefully the Jackets bounce back.

hazzben: "Who has finals scheduled for 6 pm on a Friday night? I've never heard of that before. Do Mount or other schools actually schedule finals that late on a Friday?"

I have taught at Mount and UAkron for years. I ALWAYS get stuck with a Friday night exam. Last term I had one at Mount on Friday from 6-9PM and one at Akron from 6:40-9:10PM. I had to reschedule my Akron one. Point is that it is very common (outside of Bethel) for Friday evenings to have exams.


I don't really care when the Stagg is since I don't get ESPNU. I will - again- be online/radio listening to Mount bring home #11! Go Raiders!!

[Desertraider]

I meant to add this to my previous post - but forgot. I was watching the rebroadcast last week and have to say that I really want to see Mount use more purple! Not a fan of the black pants - not a fan of the new Nike look. But hey - its the Raiders so I will watch no matter what.

Who does he think he is, Forrest Gump!! 

Raiders 1/2 way to 98.

For those "in the loop" - is LK going to settle on 1 QB or is he going to go with both for the season? I really like the way Piloto throws the long ball - not sure if we have the WRs to take full advantage of it though (I mean as we get into playoffs with better DBs). Also - what is up with ONU?? Major hiccup against the fish.

[Desertraider]

Just heard Zac Lemmon got a carry - have not heard from him in a while. Was he injured? I have really only caught the game last last week and have not been following much during off season. Sorry.

From a Preseason Story in the Canton Repository:

"Neal looks good. I think he's done the rehab he needed to do," Kehres said.

Backup quarterback Matt Piloto returns a year wiser as well. Piloto (51-92, 759 yards) will play a lot more this year, Kehres said, "because last year I didn't play him enough. Then when I had to (in the Stagg Bowl loss to Whitewater), I left him short of game experience. He will be out there, too.

[Mr. Ypsi]

I hate to overreact to one crazy OAC day, but has anyone noticed that Mount may be travelling to New Concord on November 12 with the title at stake?!!

WTF is going on?  The OAC getting two playoff teams this year may require the fish winning that game on the 12th!

Wrapping it up 66-7...  final.
