I'm not saying this will happen, but if it does where in D3 folk lore will Tim Bailey stand if he wins over Mount tomorrow

Depends on what kind of game he has...

If he goes nuts and has 300yds and 4 tds he'd probably be called the next big thing...

If he has 140yds and no TD's but the defense/special teams wins the game in a 14-13 game he'll just be called lucky...

I had a chance to interview Alex Smith about his career at Cortland, how 2 ACL tears cut it short, and how he came out for spring training camp this season.

I'm going with Journalism class at Mooville with multiple posters of "Legendary" Coach Yunevich hanging in his dorm room.

And Kaz00 Jr. is as ready for the Saxon season to start as I am.  Seasame Street can not hold his attention this morning as he repeadedly says "I want to go to the football game now" or he requests that I play the Alfred Fight Song.  Here's to hoping all of the E8 is as successful as Springfield was Thursday night. It's Saterday!  I couldn't be more exited!!!

Judging on past experience, I'm not so sure that it would be a D3 folklore sort of thing if the Cards win today.  Can you name the starting QB of ONU when they beat MUC a couple years back?  Granted, if he has a 300 yd/4 TD game, it might help his case for folklore. 

I think that if SJF wins, he will live for quite a while in Fisher folklore, but probably not for D3.  Who was the RB for UMHB when they beat Mount in the semis?  The QB for Rowan when they beat Mount in the quarters?  Heck, even for St. John's or UWW when they beat Mount in the Stagg?  You might get a couple of those, but that might have something to do with the stage on which the games occurred or even the fact that they occurred recently.

If Fisher wins, y'all will have played a great game.  Y'all will receive a number of congratulations from around the country...and especially from fans of the Mount Union Purple Raiders.  Y'all will receive some well-deserved time in the national spotlight and will be known as giant killers for a while.  But as far as "folklore history" is concerned, it probably will not really happen unless the game later becomes known as the start of the end of MUC dominance.

I'm still thinking this will be a good game.  I don't think Fisher is going win, but I do think they can stay in this game very well.  My hunch is that somewhere late in the second quarter, Mount will pull away to a somewhat comfortable lead, and the teams may trade a few scores in the second half with Fisher keeping it interesting, but not necessarily challenging.  Just my hunch.

Good luck to both teams!

[DanPadavona]

Good luck today Fisher.  I mean that sincerely.   8)

[sjfcards]

FINALLY....it is here. Go get em Fisher.

This game will be a measuring stick for sure. Hopefully the new QB, RB, and the rest will be able to perform.
