"I think we can go undefeated this year. Our expectations are to make it to the playoffs and I think we can get a national championship,'' Myers said.

For those not fortunate enough to be making the trip to Alliance, does anyone know if there will be a video feed available?

Just as heads up, when I lived in Minnesota I was able to subscribe to Sports time Ohio on my Directv. If you have that I think it was $12 a month extra and you can cancel anytime. I was able to see all the playoff games too. Check it out!

there will be no video streaming of the game.  you can listen to the game on your cell from 1-330-445-7900 anywhere in USA.  STO will rebroadcast the game. check your local listings in your area to get the times. It will be rebroadcast 3 times.  SportsTime Ohio (Tape Delay - Nov. 16 - 11 pm, Nov. 17 - 3 pm, Nov. 18 - 12 pm).  that is for the greater cleveland area.

who needs video when you have The Ric available at http://am1310wdpn.com/  ?

Thumbs up to the kid for stating a goal beyond the usual drumbeat of "our goal is to be conference champions".   The same is true for Mt players including VK.  I read an interview with him earlier in the year where he made it clear that a national championship is the goal.

There's nothing wrong with winning conference and obviously in doing so a team is guaranteed a shot.  For me, I prefer conference championships as an objective toward the ultimate goal of national championship. 

Best to both teams this weekend.  I'm honestly happy for the OAC fans as teams start to rise to the challenge.

John Carroll is a good team but they are not a Mount caliber team.  Mount put up 59 on JCU last year, are we thinking that Mount has taken that big of dip/JCU gotten than much better this year?  I love the D3 love fest that we have with 'berg and JCU, but there's a difference between Mount and others.  JCU poked the bear with the whole Mount Who thing and they will get the consequence.  JCU caught Heidi in their annual November swoon that ruins their seasons, a good win but nothing surprising.  JCU will get their welcome to the playoffs on Sat, hopefully they can bounce back and make a good run after losing the OAC.  Second place is really good for JCU.

Mount scores 40+ unless JCU goes BW and slows the game down to 1960, nine games of #1 defense is a great accomplishment for JCU but that wont last

What Mount arrogance?

   

[edward de vere]

It's not Mount arrogance; it's one person's obnoxiousness.

obnoxiousness is arrogance's ugly cousin.

[PurpleSuit]

its not arrogance if your team backs it up, arrogance would be the couple 'berg fans two weeks ago or the lone JCU fan.   Its easy to call names but I would like to see somebody predict a JCU win using numbers.  Any chance they had of coming out and grabbing an early lead has been erased by their own "arrogance" on social media.  Discuss....

adjective
adjective: arrogant

    having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities.

a mount fan saying that mount is the best is not arrogant.  it would be nice if we didn't have the akron and kent of Wisconsin in D3

Gentlemen!  Gentlemen!

Luckily, football games are not won in chat rooms.  Rather, they are won or lost in my spreadsheet.   

So remember to get your OAC picks in before that first kick-off!
