"...Burke seems to be a huge dual threat making magic with both his feet and his arm.

Thus, Burke can't make magic with just one foot.  ;)

Regarding the clock:

I don't know all the details so I am asking to make sure I understand this correctly.  With 2.2 on the clock, they attempted to spike?  I assume the new spike rule should have been enforced anyways.  Remember Wisconsin/ASU at the beginning of the season?  New NCAA rule, I assume effects all levels, says you can't spike with 3 seconds or less on the clock.

Borchert was the best of the Mount QBs.   Scary good.   Unbelievable deep ball.

My aging memory seems to recall occasions when Bill Borchert would overthrow a deep ball by a stride, call the same play on the next down for a seventy yard touchdown.

It appears, sadly, that TheBerg wasn't even born for that 1972 Stagg Bowl.  But he WAS the president of the business club at Heidelberg College, though, which seems like kind of a big deal.  His apartment likely smells of rich mahogany, and no doubt he has many leather-bound books.

HA HA!  He's kind of a big deal.......   ;D

I don't think there was a Stagg Bowl in 1972.  First was in 1973

Purpled,

How about Larry Kehres Stadium - not Larry Kehres Memorial Stadium?  A statue will be fine, tho'.

Collins listed by one publication as one of the top ten combine snubs...

Couldn't believe I didn't see his name on the list of combine participants.

Surely, not Shirley, you jest.  Read that, "...top ten combine snubs.".

However, I couldn't believe Junior was snubbed!

The question is:

The answer is:

Yes, the Purple Raiders do; and won them on the playing field.  The ND leprechauns won their "championships" in media polls.

I watched Johnny Football, for the first time, with great excitement.  Allowing for major provincialism on my part, the kid honestly reminds me of Kevin Burke - awesome.

SaintsFAN:

I'd love to have a "do over" for some games back in my college playings days (and some things in life since then :o ::) ;D ;)).  Anyway, that was a humerous statement/request you made and I'm all for it!

Indeed, as far as the Stagg Bowl for next year, we will make it happen as your Mrs. SF has said.  My own said to do that same thing.  I was looking forward to trying to make it down there this year, even as recent as early this week; was trying to work something our with our friend Raider68, but he couldn't make it and while I fleetingly thought about driving myself down there, and would have left early this AM to make it down there in time for tonight's game had I been able to go.  However, other things "have popped up" the past two days which put that idea to rest.

So, I will look forward to next year and meeting some of the Raider loyalites you mention if they go next year whether Mount makes it back or not.  I recall meeting some of the other Raider faithful back when I went to the Mount Union/Bridgewater Stagg Bowl (when I brought one of my former players that I coached at Alma) and we were treated to a fantastic tailgait and wonderful hospitality.  That was a great Stagg Bowl. I've been to one since then, but, as you know, it has been a few years. 

Anyway, best wishes to all of you who are going to the game this evening for a great time no matter what happens.  You are all probably imbibing now (uhh...I mean eating at your tailgaits and the annual Stagg Bowl flag football game in the parking lot ;D ;)) as this is being written.  I can't get ESPN3 so can't watch it; perhaps can get the audio here.

All the best to you SF and you Raider loyals,

BTW: how would you rate the ESPN crew calling the game? how do they compare with our favorite from ESPN, Pam Ward?

I thought they were OK ... maybe a bit repetitive, but were leagues better than the crew calling the Oshkosh game. 

Don't think they are worthy of a Pammy Award ... http://www.awfulannouncing.com/pammies/pammy-awards/

Color guy kept calling him "Jasper" Collins instead of "Junior".  ;)
No harm, Jasper is his name.

Interesting fact out of the Temple Daily Telegram, "Since the UMHB-UMU game in 2004, Mount Union has played 48 road games and traveled only 17, 252 miles (359 miles per trip). By comparison, UMHB has played 49 road games and traveled 53,422 miles (1090 miles per trip).

All I have to say is man it must be nice to have that many of your games so close to home. Sure would make traveling to watch the Cru a lot easier if the games were only a couple hours away instead of the potential for being double digit hours away.

We visit our son and family in Dallas.  Texan are proud of their BIG state.  With it goes travel distance to games, I suppose.   ;)

I asked Mr. Coleman (D3 Football) about the starting time; but, failed to ask permission to post.  So, I may be in trouble.  His reply:

"The NCAA told us 2 p.m. so that's what is on the schedule. You could confirm with Mount Union but our sites draw from the same database so you will always get the same data from both sites. :)

Game times of semifinals changed starting in 2011 to meet ESPN3 requirements."
