I think Mount Union General Admission Tickets are $10 a game to see it in person.  Living in Florida, $20 a month for full OAC access doesn't seem like a bad deal.

Why did he leave the Raiders? Competition for playing time? Other reasons?

Maloney was/is very, very highly regarded as a Mount Union QB prospect

Noah B probably didn't want to be a backup, or fighting for his job as a 5th year senior.  Adrian got a couple of Mount upperclassmen transfers this year

What other Mount guys?

We will likely never know this, but I wonder if he was healthier as the playoffs went on but because DeShields was the hot hand, DeSields stayed in. All a guess though.

This was my suspicion.

At RB, Darnell Williams (Grad) is still on the Roster.  2nd Team OAC last year.  530 rushing yards and 760 KOR yards.

I think Maloney is the next starting QB.  Another interesting roster addition is QB Jason Grimes (Grad).

For the old timers on the board:

The second winningest active HC in college football is KC 8-) Keeler:

Mike Sirianni is also on the list at #9.

Has anyone seed/heard anything about Tyler Echeverry?  I don't think the Buccaneers signed him after the Rookie Tryout.

Quote from: D3fanboy on May 15, 2025, 09:40:50 PMJason Candle is bringing his Toledo Rockets to Alliance for part of preseason camp.  Definitely a unique situation, hopefully both programs will benefit.  Maybe some new goalline packages for the Raiders?

QuoteQ: You are taking your team to the University of Mount Union for the first part of training camp. This is something new for your program, but also a kind of homecoming for you as that's your alma mater, as well as other coaches on your staff.

Candle: I think it's a unique opportunity to find a way to continue to help make our team as connected as possible. There's no better way to do that than to be able to sit down and have a meal together. There's no better way to do that than to be away in a remote location where you can be together every hour of the day and really work on the task at hand. Preseason camp is for the development of your football team in all phases. This will allow us to do that. This is a unique situation because not many programs have the opportunity to go do this at a place like Mount Union. For myself and many guys on our staff, there are those memories that hold a special place in our hearts. So, it'll be cool to go back. I think our players will be excited to go see where their coaches played and developed as young coaches. But then it will be time to be get down to business and get the work done.


That's pretty cool!

Quote from: Pat Coleman on April 15, 2025, 05:09:52 PMI am sure they spent way less than one FTE salary on the graphics.

In terms of like, a check they had to cut to someone? Maybe.

But partnering with an agency plus "extensive research and collaboration" means lots of people in lots of meetings, exchanging lots of emails, and that stuff has a cost to it.

As an alum, I remember receiving emails last year asking me which new logo design I liked based on a few options.  They were all very similar.

Quote from: SPECIAL TEAMS STARTER on February 27, 2025, 01:52:12 PMthat, and the #2 spot in the OAC (nearly a guaranteed playoff spot) being wide open had to be intriguing.  If Etta, Berg, BW, ONU, etc are all racing for that spot, it'd be hard to pick anyone but Etta

D3fan is right on and to my dissappointment being an ONU alum I think we can count ONU out of the race. They hired an outstanding coach and staff but the administration is just too reluctant to spend or raise any funds for athletic facilitiy improvements. Nothing has been done to the 18,000 sqquare ft. sports center in over 30 years. Compare that to Musky's 120,000 Sq. ft. Bullock Health & Wellness Center and Berg's new 110,000 Sq. ft. Athletics & Health Center and that really puts ONU coaches behind the eight ball when they are trying to recruit athletes to compete in the OAC. It's gotten so bad that they don't even want to maintain buildings used for general offices and academics such as Hill Memorial. I'm a frustrated Polar Bear. :-\

after seeing what JCU and Berg are building, what Muskie built, etc...I'm concerned that Mount Union is getting passed by in the facility game, Gulling might just not cut it any longer.  If other OAC schools are putting in 50-60 yard indoor fields, Mount should have a full length indoor facility.  The Capers Football Center is great for coaching/team meetings/film but I think it's time for the Sirianni-Garcon-Harter Indoor Athletic Facility to be built.  It's an arms race, and Mount Union cannot lose

Maybe they can get Coach Campbell to kick in as well.
