FB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[CardinalAlum]

North Central has been designated as the home team for this year's Stagg Bowl.

Wondering if the home designation entitles the Cardinals to choose what color jerseys they'll wear and, if so, whether they will go with their white, red, or black ones. My money is on white. 

Cards will be wearing White helmet, Red Jersey, white pants.

Remember 11/24/07 and 12/4/10... time for the Cardinals to return the favor!

You sound like a SJU fan. 

Not really... I'm not whining about the losses.  We got our butts beat in 2007 and didn't make the plays that we needed to make in 2010.  2019 is a new year, and this is not the 2007 or 2010 Cardinals!

Do you mean you don't have any 40 year old on the team?   

Haha.  +K

Which ESPN  channel will the Stagg Bowl be on? And what time?
I guess if Mount Union isn't playing, I lose track of that stuff.
Thanks! 🎥 🕰

Pronounced the American or the French way?

do we realize that if Mount Union had won that game, we very well could have seen a Mount/UWW Stagg bowl?
thanks for ruining the 10 Year Challenge NCC!
(Although, go Cardinals!)

I think 100% it would have been UWW/Mount again. No way Mount loses to Del Valley or Muhlenberg.

Yea, for all the talk about parity and other teams we were probably 1-2 plays away from Mt Union vs UWW this Friday.

True, but the difference this year is that we were also a play or two away from Wheaton or SJU also being there. We had 5 Stagg worthy teams IMO. A lot of those Mount v. UWW years they were head and shoulders better than the field. Or else there was one other team in that mix. I'll take the new blood. Makes things much more interesting. Especially given NCC's history, I think there's little chance the crap the bed on the big stage. I expect a great game.

That would for sure be the case with Mount Union during those year. They were never really challenged until they played us in the Stagg Bowl. We always said that's a big part why UWW is 6-3 against the Raiders in Stagg Bowls. UWW was always more battle tested than Mount, both in the playoffs as well as conference play (OAC vs. WIAC). However, in most years, UWW always seemed to have one playoff game where the game came down to the final quarter and could have gone either way:

2005 - Linfield
2006 - SJU
2007 - MHB
2008 - Willamette (yes, Willamette)
2009 - Linfield
2010 - NCC
2011 - This year was the exception, UWW rolled this season
2013 - MHB
2014 - Wartburg

2019 - SJU
