Pretty much the reason why big-time coaches love the bowls so much. "We won a bowl game last year!" "My bowl record is ..."

...and paychecks.  Bumped into this yesterday.

Yep - it is a major part of the contracts. Go .500, win a bowl game, and you can buy a Rolls Royce.

My wife and I are Alumni of both UMHB and HSU.  You think you are confused, my kids don't know which Purple and Gold team to pull for.

Saint-Tropez has a University? And they played in the Stagg Bowl? Well if you say so. ;D

Entry into the Order of the Purple is a Walnut and Bronze...

No Tommies, yet.

Good luck to all the Purple teams in the 2017 Stagg Bowl ;D

Nice of you to acknowledge our PURPLE and orange colors....but I think our realistic goal is to win our league and a few games in the playoffs....that final four level is a whole 'nuther commitment to a program....but you never know , we competed well against a "down" Mount Union(if UMU can be down) in the first round last year, but watching the Brockport team against the Crusaders and the quality of the Wisconsin v.Ohio boys yesterday was very impressive... The Order of Purple membership is a dream, for sure

Mr. Ypsi

The two lowest scoring Staggs ever were last year (UMHB over UWO) and 2000 (UMU over SJU), both 10-7, with 1974 (Central over Ithaca) just behind at 10-8.  This year is shaping up as a definite threat to those records: at the half, UMU 3, UMHB 0.

While I'm not predicting it, an OT FG for one or the other to win 6-3 would not shock me.

Mr. Ypsi

New all-time low score: UMU 12,  UMHB 0.

I will always remember how many times the ESPNU commentators made reference to how cold and windy it was.

At 0400 Zulu 12/16/2017 it is 24 near Salem; 44 in Houston and 16 near Canton.

Yeah... that's one reason I'm not convinced canton is an optimal location for a December championship
