Mr. Ypsi,

I might need you to keep me updated today.  I only have live stats and  with the internet connection I have it freezes up quite a bit.

I say this because I haven't seen BoBo on the WIAC board yet.

Well, based on the post by devildog, I may be confined to livestats also.

I'll give the video a few tries.

I've been able to get on from time to time now, but it keeps freezing.  This is highly disappointing. 

[Mr. Ypsi]

Seaman to Shorts (had to say it! ) for a TD.  UMU up 17-7 with 3 minutes left in the half.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Halftime scores:

Wesley 12, UMHB 3

UMU 20, Alfred 7

Looks like this one is about over.  After 2 second half turnovers give UWW the ball in the redzone (NCC had 3 total turnovers in the 2nd half, 2 of them in UWW zedzone), NCC down by 7 with under 2 minutes and UWW with the ball at the NCC 1 yard line.  Great game, but too many turnovers in the 2nd half for NCC.  Certainly not a triple monkey stomp.

Game over folks.  NCC turns if over on downs.  UWW will run out the clock and win 20-10.

Outstanding season for NCC.  Congrats.

You took on 1 of the top 2 teams in D3 football and beat them in every category, except the one that counts - the scoreboard.

3 to 1 turnover edge to UWW led to win.  Too many drives start in NCC territory in 2nd half and a team like UWW will make you pay.

Coppage gets 107 yards rushing, but on 29 carries.  Last week he had 300 with just one more carry.  Great job by the NCC defense today.

Congrats to NCC for an outstanding season.

The INT by the DT is just an unorthodox lucky play for UWW... but I'll give credit where it's deserved.

Great game to watch... not so great outcome.

Very impressed with Ponx and his defense this year. Not surprised by it, he's a great coach.

Looking forward to the 2011 season already...

Just got home from the game. NCC put up a great fight, but couldn't avoid the mistakes.

I kind of wondered why NCC didn't try Crackel to start the 2nd half. Offense got pretty predictable, I feel like having Krackel in there would have kept UWW's defense a little more honest.



NCC showed today that they are approaching the realm of the top 2. The question is can they keep reloading the program with Wenger and a few other key people graduating. Reloading and staying in the top part of the CCIW is one thing, reloading to stay within striking distance of the top 2 programs in the country is another.

#40 is a POS.

All American

And a d-bag. Soon to be a loser

3 second half TO's doomed the cardinals today. They did what no team has done by driving the length of the field in the 3rd quarter to take the lead and then they turned it over. 2 great plays by UWW on 2 of the 3 turnovers though. Great game and I think NCC is definitely on a level to compete with UWW. I did wonder about using Crackel. Stanek made some plays with his feet Crackel doesn't make but that INT by Hibner also doesn't get picked with a 6'4" qb in there vs a 6'0". Can't second guess but may be a QB controversy brewing for 2011. Great year for the CCIW. The teams they lost to in the playoffs (in very evenly matched games) are both in the semifinals.

Great season NCC. You came up short, but certainly lived up to all the hype. You went toe to toe with the defending national champs and gave them all they could handle. Your D was as good as advertised.

UWW...finding ways to win against quality post-season opponents is exactly what champions are supposed to do. Congrats and good luck next week on the road at Wesley.

Congratulations to NCC on a good game and a great season. They played hard, have some real good athletes are very well coached.

Congrats on amazing season NCC. To us old alums, you guys gave us a trip we couldn't even fathom. Thank you.

Congratulations to NCC on a good game and a great season. They played hard, have some real good athletes are are very well coached. 

And Congrats to UWW. I talked to a few players and fans as I left the stadium today, and I wished them good luck and told them I would be rooting for them the rest of the way. It was a great game by two well coached teams with talent on both sides of the ball.

Congrats to NCC on a great season and a hard fought game.  I enjoyed meeting a couple of you and appreciate the class act, especially #40's Dad.
