FB: Ohio Athletic Conference

For anyone not going to Salem (like me) and who lives near Westgate Mall (like me) and doesn't have access to ESPNU (like me) - I have been assured by the Manager (Jen?) that they will have the game on. She even checked to make sure they get ESPNU, since they don't get ESPN3. Regardless, I am going there.

As far as the game and special teams - to the Mount kicker: Kick it as high as you can and no deeper than the 20. At least the coverage should be there by the time it comes down. If not - put it through the back of the endzone. If not possible - put it on the other side of the field from their beast of a returner.

Heck - if all else fails squib it up the middle. Just don't give up anymore 60, 70 and 80 yd returns.

Here is to hoisting #13 - Cheers Raiders ~ Cheers! Now win it!

The whole mall will be showing the game?

Most assuredly - it is black. Is this the Wesley garb of which you speak?

Wesleydad may not be that hard to find after all!

I don't care what the calandar says!

This is Friday the 13th!

Really can't wait to see this great offense vs that great defense tomorrow night. 

At least we'll have our D3 answer for this year to the old adage of great defense vs. great offense.

Unless they kick to Wilkerson, then all damn bets are off.

If they kick it anywhere near him VK should be forced to take the Kent job.

Though I have a sinking feeling they'll have to get burnt at least once before they learn their lesson

Well, I hope they have an angle when he does break one. 

Quick Hits has quite a few who picked Mount Union today. 

Are you in Salem? 

[Dr. Acula]

if JEM catches the ball, the first 2 pt conversion would a been successful, although I do believe there was a penalty anyway..............  second one was a cluster F??k!

To be fair to JEM here I believe that was Haynes that dropped that pass.  But the point remains it should have been caught.

In response to the question if UMU or UMHB could compete with Kent State, absolutely! They play1 real contender each season just for the $$$ and are absolutely sacrificial lambs. It is doubtful that they can beat the best D2 teams . They even have a loss to a highschool team on their record, although that was YEARS ago. It is just that bad at KSU. My son graduated rrom KSU and attended only 1 game. His take on that game, "embarassing".

I mean if we're going to look historically the all time Kent State Mount union record is 6-6-2 lol.

The point is they are bad. Has always been the armpit of Ohio football. Will probably continue that tradition well into the future. The coach that can turn that program around would instantly be a nominee for the College Football Hall of Fame, no waiting period for consideration.

Kent would be satisfied with a .500 recored year in and year out, but as long as they keep scheduling the BIG10 and the like they will always have 8 games to win 6...not happening.

Safe travels to all those headed to Salem, Good Luck Purple Raiders only fitting to close out Salem's run as host with another championship

Kent State = Eastern Michigan

IMO, the MAC teams really should be classified as FCS, not FBS.

I hope all of you who are at Salem this evening for the game have a great time.  Good luck to both teams.  Safe travels to all on the way back home. A Mount Union win would be a great "send-ff" from the Salem era.  Dress warm, but enjoy.  I'll be watching on TV tonight.
