Saw a tweet with pics displayed in the MAAC of each sport's top academic performer by class.  Good to see starters and key guys Frazier Daniel (So) and Danny Robinson (Jr) as their class' top student.  Always one of my favorite things about following D3.  Robinson lights some dudes up in practice and then goes and studies engineering.

6-2 300, and the top of the class?  Daniel sounds like a stud of an interior lineman.

And he's an accounting major so certainly not easy street in the classroom.

Any word where Luke Poorman is transferring?

Wow! Didn't another backup QB transfer recently as well?

I can't pull up the tweet for some reason. Are they conference championship rings that mention the national runner up? I know W&L does rings for conference titles. The football team got theirs not long ago. I don't think they would get 2 rings if they won a national title though I'd have to find someone from the women's tennis team about 15 years ago to check. But I could see adding national runner up to a conference title ring.

Huh. I wonder what the policy is on conference titles and if they got 2. It's a great accomplishment to make a Stagg Bowl but I wouldn't want a ring commemorating a loss.

From what I have heard (not officially confirmed) Mount Union does not give out Conference Championship Rings, Only National Championship Rings.  I have also heard that they don't hold a year end banquet unless they win the National Championship.

I think it's fair to say UMU's expectations are different from 99% of DIII...

Based on the existence of this ring, is that number 100%?

Why would a national power celebrate/commemorate falling short of their goal?  I had no idea that there was a semifinalist trophy until JCU was parading their's around last season.  I doubt Mount shows their recruits the broom closest filled with runner up trophies.  Maybe UMHB isnt a "purple power" after all

And UMU football is different than even the rest of UMU, of course.  I know other UMU sports get conference champ rings.  Baseball just did.  I would bet that hoops would if they won the OAC.  The only other one that probably doesn't is track mainly because that'd be two a year for a lot of kids.
