Did anyone listen to the very short pre-game on ESPN2 and really listen to Bill Curry's comments about Mount Union?  He said that he "had the privelege to call the game in 1997 when Mount Union won and it was the only game he's ever stood outside of the locker room after a game at any level to shake hands with the players out of respect following the game."  He also stated that this game (The Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl) is his absolute favorite game of the year in college football.  

These guys are doing a pretty darn good job this year.  I would love to have Curry do the game every year rather than the usual revolving door.  Great first half so far.

UWW takes kickoff to their own 40. Moving the ball--take timeout with 2nd and 7, 3 minutes on clock, ball on 32.  4th down needing 3. Pass interference Mount--1st down on 15
with 2:12. Beaver buried on run--2nd and 19. 3rd down pass
thrown OOB as he was rushed. TE caught TD pass but didn't have possession and dropped it. Reviewed and call verified.
41 YD FG attempt with 1:17--short.

Both the punter and kicker for the "Rafters" are lefties.  That's pretty unusual.  Kicker also happens to be from St. X in Cincinnati (only OH player on the UWW roster).

Mount runs out the clock. 14-7 MUC at half.

It took Mount 8 to 10 minutes to get their "sea legs" but
since then they have played very well. I really think if UWW prepared for the Mount offense they saw on tape that they are surprised to see a different team today. Kehres is calling a entirely different game than they would have seen. So far so good. Garcon can run free but can Jorris find him and hit him again?

rc--  last night during ESPN they cut in to Curry and that's when he made the statement originally.  I hope these guys do this game every year.  KUDOS this week to the worldwide leader in sports!!

bashbrother informs me on the NCAC page that ONU's Wes Hostetler just returned a kick following a safety for an 86 yard TD in the Aztec Bowl.

USA leads 16-7 so far.

Go Raiders!!!

[D O.C.]

reality check would you be willing and able to update Aztec on this thread once in a while?

Let's nominate Curry for an Emmy. Excellent commentary and doesn't overanalyze.

did anyone get a list of the d3 football All-Americans on the pre-game show?

I flipped it on during the Stagg halftime and those two Texas good ol' boys broadcasting are too much for me to listen to.  I had to mute it.  I can't listen to a game in which the player I want to follow the most (Hos) is having his name butchered over and over again.  I might check in on scores once in a while but your best bet is checking the NCAC page as bashborhter is updating since Harbaugh is QBing.

Back to the Stagg.

ESPN's second half adjusments were backwards.  They wanted Beaver to get more touches for the Raiders and for the Rafter offense to open up and throw more downfield to Garcon.
