Great game today in Belton....IMO, this was the Stagg Bowl. Both teams were evenly matched, and plays went either way and it came down to who could get the job done best. Today that was the Cru. Im willing to go so far as to say that they are the best team left. Mount is going to have to come up with something special if they want to win here.

Where is here? In Belton?

Won't the game be played in Alliance?

Oops, meant it more generally as in semifinal.  ;) It should be in Alliance.

As much as I want MHB to win....it's MHB that will need the very special game to win.

I appreciate your zest, however, I think you're going to be seriously disappointed.

The NCAA has begun using exclusively the north end zone field camera view for the Linfield UW-Oshkosh game.  AARRRRGGGGHHHH!

K-Mack

The seeds nearly held, as we would have had all purple and 1-2-3-4 in the poll, and the four No. 1 seeds all winning at home, if Linfield had held on.

Instead we are treated to a great finish and another week of UW-Oshkosh, perhaps the best story of the season. It's no consolation to the Linfield die-hards, but for general interest, we should be glad to have UW-O, St. Thomas and UMHB.

I think we can all agree that it would be better if the matchups were mixed up, but the fact we have playoffs mean we still get UMHB-Mount Union ... and we get a team to Salem for the first time, which should be cool. And since it's a MIAC/WIAC champ, we can expect that the team could be competitive with UMU (or UMHB, if it ends up being the Cru, which is a possibility at this point)

The NCAA didn't have a role in producing that game, just for the record.

Thanks.

My confusion arose because the default screen when there was a change in the action was an "NCAA spot".

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. But you are crazy if you think you just saw the Stagg Bowl  :o Two very good teams played a very good game. But the team of the last decade and a half, Mount Union, was not a participant. And your optimism is admirable, but Mount is a clear favorite in Alliance next week

Hazzben:  Thanks for the support, but you're selling Mount a little short.  The last time Mount failed to make at least the semi-finals was 1994 when they lost to national champion Albion on the road 34-33.  So it's officially the "team of the last decade and 8/10's". ;)
I find easily offended people rather offensive!

Statistics are like bikinis; what they reveal is interesting, what they hide is essential.
