Is Bluenote hitting the sauce again?

Did he ever stop?

[skunks_sidekick]

Greetings Theaprof!

I will not be able to make it Friday night as I am on the road this week, and don't get in until late Friday afternoon.  Since I am going to the game on Saturday heading over to Rey's on Friday night would not be in my wife's consideration.   

Have one for me & here's to a Mount victory!

Keith doesn't read the boards as much as he used to -- he'll be in Alliance but not until Saturday morning.

Keith? From D3football.com? Oh he isn't invited. No outside media allowed. Not only MUC (sorry but you can tell how long a Mount fan has been a fan by MUC or UMU) policy but all MUC fans had to sign the contract or lose access to tickets

There is definitely some kind of conspiracy going on here.... it leaves little to the imagination.... ... you guys are lucky with the brackets year after year..... WOW Sorry for my language!

I forget, who is Linfield playing this week?

For whatever reason, when Blue comes a calling I always think of:

How are the decisions for all region and all American made? I mean Jared Ruth leads Mount in every WR category and yet Justin Hill gets the nod. Just curious.
BTW on the interview stuff I dont have a problem with Mounts stance. It doesn't seem like a drastic departure from previous years. Maybe lou berry indicated he didn't want to do it? Mount is very team focused. They dont nominate for them of week or whatever that is called.

The interview stuff will be more clear after the season is over.

The most telling part was this: One of our Kickoff contributing writers pitched a Mount Union story to us this week and we figured, sure, we'll let him try. Since he is an alum of Mount Union, we figured maybe that would be more acceptable to the folks in Alliance. Our writer told us UMU was "all for setting me up to speak with Lou.... until he found out who I was with. Things got awkward after that."

So that tells me that it isn't about not wanting to do media as a whole, it's about not wanting to give D3football.com access. And so be it, but after a full year, we just won't be silent about it any longer. That's all.

I was going to ask who y'all pissed off, then I thought of a couple of possibilities that may have arisen from events last post season and decided, "maybe not."

[Desertraider]

Crap. Forgot ESPN3 has the game stream this week.

If this is how VK (and LK) believes you should handle the press, then it's best he stays at the D3 level.   This approach wouldn't fly anywhere else. 

And no offense to Pat and D3football.com as a whole, but ignoring you has ZERO impact on the program or their ability to recruit.  But bad press from ESPN, FOX, CBS, etc has a huge impact on the narrative surrounding a D1 program.

Looks like they have a pretty interesting basketball game with New Hope Christian on Saturday!
All joking aside, Linfield had a pretty tough bracket this year, in the sense that it didn't exist.

Saw this in an article about Johns Hopkins win on 12/3/18:

The Purple Raiders have played in 19 of the past 22 Division III finals

For some reason I didn't remember it being that many.  Sometimes all the winning mutes the accomplishments of the program.

Wow, just Wow!

EDIT:  Going back to 1993 Mount Union has played in 20 out of 25 Finals.

[theaprof]

OK, let's make it 8:00 at Rey's 62 on State Street.  I'll be the one wearing purple so I should be easy to spot.

[Desertraider]

I am almost 50% sure I will make it. Would like to. Depends on my middle daughters schedule.
