Congrats to the Warhawks for doing what they had to do and moving on to face Trine.  UWW has a great team!  Congrats to the Grizzlies on a fine season and for playing hard at UWW.  It was a shame that we had to meet in the first round.  Now you can see why d3football.com voted the Franklin tailgate the "Best D3 Tailgate in the Nation"! :)

A regular season game would benefit both schools but would be tough for the Grizzlies since they have already scheduled Mt. Union for a home & home. :o

Trine is very similar to Franklin.  The Thunder edged Franklin at Trine in 2008 and the Grizzlies returned the favor at home in 2009 (Trine's last regular season loss).  Watt and Ray are similar QBs.  Ray is a more accurate passer but Watt is a more dangerous runner.

GrizFan: I don't remember a vote. But Keith is definitely in your corner. I'll have to get to a Franklin game someday to see for myself.

ESPN voted (I am not sure how that worked but they did).

As far as Trine:  They may near equal on the field but they will need to step up their game in the lot.  FC rules when it comes to food and good times.  UWW and NCC can attest (for starters)

It is not espn, but d3everything.com is very relevant and is creditable and well known.  I would say I spend more time on D3football & D3hoops than espn.com.

Oh yeah, congrats on Ray being one of the 10 finalists.  Place your votes for him HCAC posters.

Are you HCAC guys on Thanksgiving vacation here or are you just silenced after Franklin's loss in the first round? ???

Ugly score for the Saints. Good season anyway for TMC,  Saintsfan.

Yes, GrizzBk'er, I was also surprised at the TMC score.  Not what I expected from them.  Sorry they didn't advance, SaintsFAN.  Nonetheless, your alma mater did have a great season as mentioned.

MHB is scary good.  TMC was banged up at the end of the year... they'll be back next season.. they were young this year.  Look for them to take another step in 2011.

Could MHB mix things up with Da'Mount or Whitewater?  I would really like to see someone different in the Stagg Bowl this year.  Whitewater IMO has shown that they can not blow everyone out of the water.  They allowed some big numbers from Franklin and Trine.  It will be interesting to see if anyone can unseat either one of those two.

That could very well happen this year. Although UMU doesn't play it's first playoff game till next week  ::)   ;D.

As a UWW fan, I'm nervous about traveling to play NCC. then if we squeek by them we'll have to hit the road again and play against one of two teams that are equally as tough....just to GET to the Stagg Bowl. This might be the year there isn't a UMU-UWW Stagg Bowl.

Warhawk,  The NCAA did set UWW up for failure this year that is for sure.  IMO, both Trine and Franklin were solid teams while some other teams do have an easier road to travel.
