Boards are back.  Kind of glad they were down all weekend.  What a downer.

[Pat Coleman]

Sorry about that. They're holding together for now but need some serious help, which I am trying to get for them.

Need for fixes have progressed beyond my ability to manage the software.

Thanks for all you do!  I decided on Saturday to not pay the the $10 to watch the Mount Union Game and instead watched OSU v UM.  I was planning to go to OAC Boxcast later and watch the Mount game.  After seeing the final score, I've not gone back to watch.  Ugs.

It was very frustrating to watch in person... it's like we waited the whole game for the Mount machine to wake up and take control of the game and it never happened. At one point we intercepted their lateral on a trick play, in any other year that would be the turning point where Mount would capitalize and turn the tide, but Alma had an interception a few plays later.

if the boards were held together with duct tape and chewing gum, the worst loss in the dynasty-era of Mount Union football was likely going to be the breaking point.  With Dartt in charge, I guess Pat was lucky to limp the boards along this far, could have been Muhlenberg in '21 or BW in '22

The Machine hasn't been awake since '19.  NCC-Mount in the 2nd round was the title game played way too early, this was something entirely different.  "The Machine" has been idling on arrogance, entitlement and nepotism.

I appreciated the context the D3Fb podcast gave Mount Today. They talked about how Coach Dartt has really done a wonderful job considering he's 42-3 with a Stagg Bowl appearance. On one hand I'm extremely grateful for the playoff runs we've had and the ability for Mount Union to remain the most consistent elite team of the last decade or so. despite multiple coaching changes... including a hall of famer! We're certainly a spoiled fan base.

On the other hand,  when viewed from the perspective of "The Standard" ("Champion the Standard") You can't view Dartt's tenure as other than disappointing (so far) and he'd probably agree!

To be fair, he has an extremely unfair and probably unrealistic standard to uphold... but it is what it is.

I agree with both things -- this has definitely not lived up to "Champion the Standard" but I don't know that anyone could. Trying to sustain what a literal Hall of Famer built is nigh on impossible.

Vince was pretty close though, at the same point in his career as Dartt is at (excluding Covid year) he had 3 Stagg Bowl appearances and 1 championship. However he also benefitted from having an all-time great QB in Kevin Burke for 2013 and 2014. Without Burke the 2013 team probably doesn't reach the Stagg Bowl. Plunk is a great player but I don't think he's nearly the offensive weapon that Burke was.
