The article says 2021.

Is anyone interested in doing the Region 4 Fan Poll this year?

Quote from: Dr. Acula on August 27, 2025, 08:09:56 PMA quick search and all I see is that Marcus Jackson is now the OLB coach.

Pearce was a DB coach and Wright-D was the DL coach. 🤣🤣🤣

The MTU website still has two coaches listed who are no longer there (Pearce and Wright-Downing).

Anyone know who replaced them?

116 incoming freshmen at MTU if my count is correct (Maloney is listed as a Fr so I didn't count him).

9 Kickers or K/P on the Roster.

5 Freshmen QBs (not including MM).

two weeks away from toe meeting leather and who is actually on the Mount Union team is anybody's guess...it almost seems like more work to be so bad at social media, transparency, engagement, etc than what Mount does these days

THIS... TRULY! When you're a program of this standard, you expect all areas to follow suit.  It's not like we expect them to share practice film, but things I've noticed other D3 programs sharing include:
Returning starters/key players
Key transfers
Highlight some freshmen (UMU Wrestling as already done this)
Countdown to Kickoff
Highlights from last year or practice this year
Stats from last year to note
Connect with the local newspaper

Those are all basic things that high school programs do.... create some excitement or hype!

Speaking of transfer, I had a friend tell me that Carson Dyrlund, a former local HS (Hoover) QB who went D2 (Northwood) is now at Mount. I think he was an athletic QB with a decent arm.

What are the start dates for OAC football?

Quote from: D3fanboy on July 24, 2025, 02:41:04 PMtranfsers, either laterally or up and down never seemed to be the main reason of D3FB team success.  Kids staying in school for 5-6 years seemed to make a larger impact

True.  But there will be no more "Walk-ons" and 135 man rosters at the D1 level.  So more talented players will be playing at lower levels.  Which will trickle down to D3.

The D1 roster limit of 105 players is going to push talented players "down" levels and I can foresee more players going D3 to prove themselves and then entering the transfer portal and moving "up" divisions.

Former North Central HC Jeff Thorne is battling cancer:

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.

Flo doesn't have a great reputation for streaming amateur wrestling events.

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.
