I really like Massey computer rankings because they rank all of college football as a whole and not just by division. I did a quick analysis of Mount Union over the last 15 years by Massey Rating, including Mount Union's end of season ranking (out of all of college football) and the #1 D3 team for each year listed. Thought it was interesting that these rankings show a huge dropoff in both Mount Union and D3 as a whole after 2016. Not sure if that's just an artifact of the ranking system or a result of less talent concentration by the purple powers but I found it interesting none-the-less.

Any OAC posters going to Canton tomorrow?

Any OAC posters going to Canton tomorrow?

I would, but I promise my wife after Mounts season was over,  it was family time. The local paper, Canton Repository, shared that the 1,500 club seats sold out.  They've got 2-3 articles on the game.  They will provide good coverage,  as they are Mount Union's primary newspaper now that the Alliance Review isn't very local anymore.

I hope for a great showing and a great game. I hope the next time Canton is hosting that the Purple Raiders will be back!

Yep.

Y'all are very welcome on our side. I'd love to say hello. Classy group of posters and love reading your thoughts all year.

Woah... MHB is looking unstoppable right now, NCC could be in trouble.

Someone finally wakes up on ncca.com and switches the team names correctly. How embarrassing to go over half the first quarter with names wrong.

[WRMUalum13]

Well NCC got their run game going and made this a game.

I really hope someone from Mount Union has scouted the running back from Saint Ed's that is the kind of player that mount has not had since Nate Kmic.

[edward de vere]

Well yes, it's true Mount Union hasn't landed the second coming of Nate Kmic.  He's only the All-Time NCAA All-Division Rushing Leader, ferchrissakes.

Nobody else in D3 has either, with the possible exception of WWW and Levell Coppage.  (Oh, maybe one or two others, I suppose.)

But I'm open to the possibility!  Bring it on!

Was MUC57 the gentleman of a certain vintage in the stands that was wearing on his head a purple . . . hedgehog? . . . tumbleweed? . . . upside-down woman's carpetbag purse???

Ummmm........No.

LOL! I was watching the game with my wife, and when that guy came on, I told her "That could be MUC57". Funny thing is she knew who I was talking about!

Have no fear. I don't know your wife, but I AM known throughout the land. My reputation reaches far and wide, even in University Heights. However; not in Berea. (I went there once, it was closed.)

Stay safe.   

Yeah ... I can promise a BWW viewing with you and my lovely Wife (and myself).  Just leave your Confederate-era money and MasterCharge Card at home!

Dude stood me up!!!
