I would like to see all  you "Mount Guys" fess up to your misjudgement of Rocco at QB. In Sept. you were highly critical of his talent. I posted, give the guy a chance. After the first 2 weeks, you guys said his performance just verified what you knew.

Now. at the end of the year, he is an all OAC QB, a team leader, and clutch performer. I am truly happy for the young man. During the season he has grown into a FB talent.
I have stated before you were spoiled having Micheli at QB. Guys like he don't come around that often.

Lastly,
       I hope the Raiders win the Stagger Bowl, I love to see them pound out the wins!

As the President of the Kurt Rocco Fan Club, I'm very happy he's grown into being a very good QB.  I didn't expect it, but glad he did. 

Because of his improved play, the Raiders have a shot at title #11.  Without him, they wouldn't.
I find easily offended people rather offensive!

Statistics are like bikinis; what they reveal is interesting, what they hide is essential.

I personally will always have trouble taking W&J seriously going back to a track meet in Mount Union Stadium  in 1968, We were walking to the line to run the last event and Coach Wuske told us all to turn our jerseys over. Apparently we gave him a stupid look or two because he proceeded to explain that W&J hadn't scored a point yet and that if we skunked them we'd never be able to schedule a non-conference track meet again.

In all my years in Track and Field before and after, I never saw that again.

(BTW We won the Mile Relay running as JV's)

And this yarn from a guy who has no idea where his car keys are :D

PS I admit to being wrong about Rocco's abilities, but I still want to Super Glue his feet to the rug

Yeah, we've reached the age where we can remember just about everything from 40-50 years ago - it's yesterday or today that's a mystery! :o ;)

W&J may have a good Defence, but they are playing a 4-2-5 run by their DC, Matt Caponi.

Where do you think Caponi learned this D?   Probably pretty similar to the D that MUC faces in practice every day???

Pierre is listed as Questionable with an Ankle sprain this week.

Checking history on mtunionfootball.com I noticed an amazing stat:

In four games Mount Union and W & J have played together, here are the point totals:

Mount Union      2
W & J             88

Hopefully, the Raiders can close the gap a little on those numbers this week.

Dude, day one was nearly ten years ago for me.  I've been here for a decade and seen a dozen JCU fans come and go.  I'm sure I'll see you off as well.  You've come in here and known more about anything than everyone since your own day one.

Of course I was talking about my first day here.  I'm not going to bother reading your (not ten years, liar, but six years of) posts from before I arrived.  But from what I've seen so far, since I've been here, you're a kept fan.  The MUC fans have really put you in your place and it seems you know not to cross certain lines.  

As for "seeing me off," I'm not going anywhere.

Quote from: reality check on November 16, 2009, 10:29:03 PMIt's a shame the rumor about JCU to the NCAC has lost some steam because I truly think you'd fit in given your general attitude towards the world.

Get off of it.  My opinions are my own, I have no direct affiliation with JCU.  I'm just a fan.  But I'm sure you'd love to turn this into an argument about the Blue Streaks and Polar Bears, as you've tried to do time and again.  This isn't about which school has played MUC tougher in recent years.  My points have validity, yet because you don't want to ruffle any feathers, you deflect them.

Quote from: reality check on November 16, 2009, 10:29:03 PMYou can call me names and claim that I bow down to Mount Union but those who've been here for years know that is simply not true and their opinion of me matters multitudes more than yours.  You've made just over 100 posts so far and going back to post one, you've been a know-it-all whether it pertained to all things JCU or Dayton.  I guess you just know everything there is to know about Ohio-based Catholic Universities (or nothing; I can't really decide).

Of course I know more about those schools.  I grew up around one and attended the other.  You, on the other hand, have a nebulous connection with one, and all of sudden you're supposed to be the expert?  Nice try.  I know people that went to Ohio Northern, including a few athletes, but I would never claim to know more about the school than you.

As for whose opinion matters more, obviously it's clear that you're here to impress the Mount Union fans who all but run the board.  Your posts clearly reflect that.  But looking at the bigger picture, it's an online message board.  None of it really matters.

Quote from: reality check on November 16, 2009, 10:29:03 PMI've always admitted ONU's faults so if you think pointing out the fact that ONU lost to OTT in 2009 or JCU in 2005 hurts me in some way, you're sadly mistaken.  When we lose, we lose and the primary blame goes right on ONU's shoulders.  No excuses.  So call me names.  Call me a d-bag.  You're the bigger man for it and you really put me in my place.  Ouch.  

Really I just wanted you to shut up about John Carroll.  You want this discussion to be about ONU and JCU, but it isn't really.  It's bigger than that.

Streak-One great Carroll team in ten years, get over yourself. Regis without Tom Arth = Muskingum

seventiesraider, Get over yourself.  Mount Union has put together a great run in football.  Division III football.  But at the end of the day, we're just talking about football.  It's not a shock that you people put such an emphasis on your football program--it's clearly making up for other institutional deficiencies.

now that we've seen the classiness that has been displayed by the Catholic boy from the notheast lets move onto a new topic.......

Thanks for the laugh.

Quote from: PurpleSuit on November 17, 2009, 01:24:14 AMI didnt make any bets with the Marietta fans or the Wilmington fans, so I doubt I will take that one.  I wouldn't try to stir anything up when my team is horrible.   JCU was this close to being Muskingum this year....keep up the good work.   But enjoy the basketball season, you got us there

PurpleDouche, it's not about who has the better team.  It's about your team being better leading you (and many other Mount Union fans) to think that they know everything about everything.  Heaven forbid more than one poster disagree with the Mount Union faithful on anything.  When that happens they must be the same person, right?

As for basketball season, thank you, I will enjoy it.

Quote from: reality check on November 17, 2009, 08:11:31 AMIf you've been around as long as I have in these forums, you'd know that we're not making up the NCAC attitude thing.  It hasn't been a problem in recent years but there have been occasions where NCAC posters (probably long gone by now) have played the academic card and gone so far as to use the cliche "Your schools kids will be working for my school's kids someday" lines.  And I think most of the long-time NCAC posters don't fall into this category.  Every school and every conference has their idiots.  We just recently got a new one.

They're not wrong.  Mount Union is clearly able to admit student-athletes that wouldn't even get wait-listed at most NCAC schools.  And in a sport like football, where numbers really do matter, it's a big advantage for some schools over others at the Division III level.  

And to your last comment about this conference getting a new idiot, I know 09 Polar Bear lacks basic grammatical and spelling skills as exhibited by his few posts, but seriously don't you think that's a little bit harsh?

^^^^^^^^^ Boo to that entire post

CS-I'm embarrassed for you and how long you must have spent on that post. Me thinks your taking this whole thing way to seriously and I might add doing a piss poor job of reading for comprehension. You rebuted my post by restating it. In my best Phi Beta Kappa-ize Duh!!

Please go off to the basketball boards where I assure you, none of us will follow.

I spent no longer on that post than I'm sure many of you do on these boards in an average day.

And no, I'm not going anywhere.

CarrollStreaks's post:

I graduated from Mount Union.  I couldn't read his post.  It had too many words in it.  

Tip to posters:

Some of us Mount grads usually don't attempt to read posts with so many words.  If you're gonna use a lot of words, at least break it up a bit with some pictures or stick figures!

Oldscot I to was skeptical of Kurt going in to this season.  He has become the Man and LK seems happy with his abilities.   If LK is happy then I am Happy.   Lets rock with Rocco!  Go Raiders!

You better damn well know what you are talking about before you call someone a liar. People that have been on this board since it's infancy are aware that when Pat revamped the website, that some data such as post information was lost. I know some "veteran" posters information disappeared in that transition. I don't know if that is the case with RC or not. Also a lot of people read these boards, some for a long time before making any post, obviously not in your case. I do not comment very often, but I read many of the boards on this site daily.  Your dialogue has prompted me to let you know I don't like you or your attitude.
