Good luck tommorrow to both teams.

Hopefully it is a well played game and all emerge healthy.

Safe travels to all who have yet to leave and to all on the return trip.

Oh, and I predict another MUC championship if you didn't already know.

On a personal note, I got my grades done, now I just have to get my lessons for next Semester together. I think I will have time to catch the game.

I have been trying to fingure out a way to drum up some controversy all week about the "Warhawk" name and it's offensive nature in the omniscient eyes of the NCAA. Your story seems to do a better job than anything I could have made up to stir the pot. I hope that the NCAA has some sense and makes the ESPN2 guys calls Whitewater by another name all day tomorrow as it is "offensive to native americans" in nature. I move that we all refer to UWW as the Rafters from now on.

Go Mount Union. Bring one back for the OAC!

I couldn't read any of your stories because the "please register and pay us" window appeared. But, am I to understand a Columbus newspaper has 3 different stories about Mount and todays game? From the way Cap & Ott fans talked I thought you guys got zero coverage from the locals--yet they have three stories about MUC!?

Great game on ESPN2 last night--Appalachian St vs Northern Iowa. Hoping todays game follows the same script, with MUC pulling it out in the 2H.

Me Too please. Or just post them on the OAC Board. I think you are ok as long as you quote the source.

jdean · December 17, 2005, 10:34:00 AM

Is anyone going to need occasional update posts about todays score(s)? I won't give a play-by-play but will be glad to summarize as the game goes on.
Thanks for the articles Cap99.

During the season Cap & Ott usally get just a small article that includes about three or four lines. After Cap beat Wabash we finally got a couple of nice stories but OSU wasn't playing and we were playing Mount in the Reigonal finals.

"Cap99Fan,

Anything for "OUR" friends of the OAC. I have been very much impressed with the class of the fans and teams of the OAC and will continue to support Cap and the OAC. I will look forward to meeting ya'll next year when we play.
