when did nick get hurt?

Trinity...forgetaboutit!! Unreal! Only thing that was missing was the band in the endzone.

Mount's defense IS that good as another shoutout proves it. Cap played a great defensive game but you will always have a hard time stopping our O.

I would deeply disagree with that being the greatest play in D3 this year or any year. Wierd, bizarre, strange, really fun, but hardly great. 

Thanks for my 30 seconds in the D3 pulpit

You can take holding Kmic to 3 yards a carry.  I am happier with ONU holding him to less than 100 yards and 2 less TD's.  He had more carries against the Crusaders but he found the endzone less often against the Bears.  Pick your poision really.

Yeah I learned to count in grade school.  CJ offered me a chance to take a typing class.  And then at Northern they taught me how to open a browser window and navigate the internet.  It's amazing how it all comes together in one beutiful moment like that.  And I learned long before the OAC just how ugly the combination of brown and yellow is on a uniform.

tdubs,

If realitycheck were a Badin grad, you'd see clearer posts using analogies and whatnot.  As a C-J grad, we take what we can get from him. . .

So does anyone in here think the OAC is worthy of the 2nd place team making the dance this year? 

The Trinity/Millsaps play was GREAT. . . and I disagree with what was said in here. . . it is definitely play of the year due to its improbability... 14 laterals!!  I counted (Badin math here).

tdubs,

... 14 laterals!!  I counted (Badin math here).

ESPN has now shown the highlight and claims 15 laterals, lol, maybe with all the razzle dazzle another ball was put on the field!

If they were forward passes you wouldn't know what to do with it (being a Badin grad).

  So much for playing a soft schedule (MHB) to get you ready to play a good team (UWW).

[muc-raider]

I have been going to MUC games since 1977.  No team comes close to their talent, size, speed and depth.  (1997 would be the closest).  From what I am seeing in DIII, only Mary Hardin Baylor would be able to give Mount a real game.  Does anyone know that much about MHB?

After today's results, maybe you want to re-phrase your question? Could only Whitewater give Mount a real game?... or Who would be able to give Mount a real game?

It appears I was wrong about Whitewater.   Also I thought MHB had more horses than it appears they do.   I'm on for a MUC-UWW rematch.

Tdubs:  Posting a steriods accusation with nothing more than "he's bigger than everyone else" is beyond weak and a low blow.  For the record, the player in question has always been bigger than anyone else at his position.  And early in his career I assumed he'd out grow his position and end up at DE or DT.  You owe him and the rest of the Raider Nation an apology.

[HScoach]

Results for Week 9 and games for Week 10 have been posted.

Congrats to Presto, Ric and Usee for winning Week 9 with 8 out of 12 possible points.

Only 2 weeks to go and there's still about 10 guys within striking distance of the Regular Season Pick-Em title.

Don't forget we'll be having a Playoff Pick-Em too.

Does anyone know that much about MHB?

I don't know much about MHB this year, but I saw them a couple of times when I was living in Austin.  I think my first time was back in the '01 or '02 season.  I remember being generally impressed with them at first.  Then, I realized that the program was only a handful of years old and I was greatly impressed.  Like Mount Union, they appear to be the school right now that is getting the best of the "second-tier" atheletes in the state, ie the atheletes that want to play, haven't been offered a good scholarship at a D-I school, and just want to keep on playing football as long as they can.

I recently posted over on the ASC board (MHB's conference) and they're a real good class of folks.  They were talking about their win over MUC living on in the school's lore for a while, because they know just what they did...beat the top team and program in the country on that team's home turf.  And they did that with a program that has been in existence for less time than MUC has been a player on the national stage. 

So maybe this doesn't answer much about the team this year, but UMHB is a great program with some great fans.  From what I've read all season long, yesterday's performance was not indicitive of the team.  They'll be playing with a chip on their shoulder the rest of the season and could be downright scary in the playoffs if there's a chance for a rematch with Whitewater on the line.

jaypeter,

Thanks for the input about MHB.  I didn't know how they compared to the team that beat Mount in 2004.  They had been putting up some big scores and winning big.   

[SaintsFAN]

mtfan,

that very well could be. . . thats probably the craziest lateral situation/play that I've seen in my 30 years on this planet. 

The Trinity/Millsaps play was GREAT. . . and I disagree with what was said in here. . . it is definitely play of the year due to its improbability... 14 laterals!!  I counted (Badin math here).

If they were forward passes you wouldn't know what to do with it (being a Badin grad).   

thats true reality, touche!!  I went from having a high of 15 attempts at Badin, to discovering the forward pass at Thomas More and having a career high 51 attempts in 1998 at Wisconsin-Osh Kosh. . . coming out of HS under Malone, I thought the primary job of a QB was that of a cheerleader/expert handoff guy. 

[Ajwassup]

ok i just saw that final play in the trinity game.  Simply put, that was incredible.  I wonder if MUC has a play like that in the playbook.  Maybe ours is designed for 20 laterals
