A very good attitude to have.  No team will ever beat the Purple Raiders without such an attitude.  Even though my brain will not allow me to believe it, I hope that a good game will unfold!

rams:  Travel safe.  If you get in town early enough, be sure to check the tailgate in the parking lot to the immediate west of the stadium.   All are welcome.  Even the enemy

Got to MUC around 1:15. My ticket was waiting for me and I will be with the MSU group for the game. I like the campus and I thought the stands would be bigger, but the field is beautiful. The people in the Mcphearson building were great. If I walk out of the Mcpherson building is the buffet in the building left of the endzone? A very nice experience. Got to the Football Hall and it was great. Watching the end of a great Bama game, then off to the Longhorne for some grub. Thanks for your hospitality and hope to meet you tomorrow. I'll have a Red MSU ball cap and a gray MS Football sweatshirt.

Leaving for the game in a half hour.

You guys have destiny in your hands, it's a tough road, and you can do it. You have to want it bad enough and I think you do. Remember the the words of the Greatest Hed Hawk Of All :

dlip wants to wish Montclair St good luck today. Please note the "lack of respect" you are receiving regarding D3 predictions and take those to heart. Not much of anyone gives you guys a shot in ****in hell today. Stand up for the East Region, give your best, and prove everyone wrong. Good luck and congrats on this great opportunity to play the best!

Below is my post on the Eastern Playoff Board. Thank you Montclair players, coaches and parents for a great year. Who would have thought we would make it to round 2 in the NCAA'S.

Just back to the Hotel after the game.

Everyone I met today from Mount Union were class acts. Very friendly and helpful. JT was correct about the buffet before the game. It is an event not to miss. The campus is beautiful. It was a wonderful experience. I got to meet Rascl but we could not find you Seventies. Where were you. I sat on the 50 yard line all the way on top. This MUC fan Waine was there and a real good guy. We had a lot of fun. Now down to the facts as I seen them:

The banner that states "The Machine" is well said. They are a machine and do everything perfect. If you make a mistake, you pay. We got wacked and we shot ourselves in the foot too many times. We sort of kept it in reach at half and continued to shoot ourselves in the foot. 5-6 picks against any team is not a recipt for success, especially MUC.

The Refs lost control of the game. MUC would hold (this is not sour grapes) and the refs would look the other way, leading to frustration. Waine even agreed with me. Then later in the game the refs would start to throw the flag, but it was too late. Please do not think that the refs cost us the game. They did not, but rather lost control of It. Your #11 was a thug and should have been tossed. It did not happen. I thought Coach K would have pulled the kid. Yes we did retaliate aginst #11 and it should not of happened, but the player reacted out of frustration. Then Coach K pulled him. Basically the refs caused this.

The MSU fans were getting calls about the radio announcer making dumb comments about MSU and NJ. I did not hear, but had to assume they were true. Yes 2 fans were yelling up at the booth and speaking their minds.

Congratulations to MUC, you guys are the real deal and in my opinion will be in the Stagg Bowl again. MUC is a great college and the people I met were class acts. Thanks for the experience. Next time, we owe you one.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As a Montclair fan and one who made the trip to see the Red Hawks play in the second round of the NCAA'S in Alliance, below are my thoughts on D3 Football and the East Region, below :

As far as D3 Football there are (2) teams in a league of their own. Whitewater and Mount Union. They would beat the balance of the Top 25 10 of 10 or 9 of 10 times. Then there is a group of approx 8 teams that are close but not yet at their level. Linfield, Wesley, Whittenberg, MHB, Central, St. John's, Wabash and N.Central. Then the balance of the Top 25 are Jeckel and Hyde teams. As a Montclair fan who bitched about our QB and the weak "O", we scored the most points against Mount Union in the playoffs (they came in the 1st half) with the exception ow Whitewater. Who would have thunk that. I did not expect (7) picks.  I also complained about the NJAC 100 man roster limit, but I just read that it also applies to Whitewater and the balance of the Wisconsin conference.

I think it's going to be a while until you see a dominent team like Rowan again in the East but time will tell. When the Top (4) teams in the country do not include the East, that's why you see Mount Union coming over. There are some teams in the East that may have a chance once in a while, but not on a consistant basis, I'm not sure. That's what makes D3 Football so exciting. I will cut and paste this to the NJAC Board and wait for any comments.

Everybody Have A Safe And Healthy New Year !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's an experience you can't explain, becoming a Grandpa for the first time.
