$7.5m career earnings by the time he was 29.  I think taking off a semester paid off pretty well for CS3.

Quote from: Captainred81 on August 28, 2025, 03:04:26 PMA) I think we should table the criticism and wait for the season to start.  We were in the Stagg Bowl last year, and had a solid chance to win the game.

B)  110 Incoming freshman in this day and age is amazing.  He must be doing something right to get that amount of players. 

C)  I will be thoroughly let down if Mount is not in this years Canton Stagg Bowl.  Not by players or coaches, just in general.

D)  I skimmed through the roster and the QB and RB rooms are gonna be full.  Good to see Leibler on the list.  Also, looking forward to seeing what Jerry Copper Jr. can do this year.  I think he really started to turn it on last year at the end of the season

At last, a voice of reason.

I'd argue that if your whole schtick is "the standard is the standard" and #TheStandard, then you are opening up yourself to higher levels of criticism than any other program at this level. 

The kids should be more or less off-limits (and mostly have been), but I think "the standard" not having a full-time strength and conditioning coach until this year and still not having an offensive coordinator is worthy of criticism, the incredible drop-off in Sports Information is 100% worthy of criticism, the embarrassing coaching decisions on national TV have to be discussed if you are "the standard".

That being said, Go Ders, bring home #14

A news release (although obviously tilted toward the home team) that gives us some idea of what Mount Union is missing in their publicity at this point.  Do we even have a chance? Do we have a team?  No info from the SID or anywhere else from the college--excuse me--the university.

Mount will have their game notes uploaded by next Friday night

Since we are only a little over 7 days out from kickoff, here's the Wheaton season preview

Quote from: Kira & Jaxon's Dad on August 27, 2025, 07:49:13 PMThe MTU website still has two coaches listed who are no longer there (Pearce and Wright-Downing).

Anyone know who replaced them?

Lou Berry is coaching CB's, Ely the Safeties.  Arshinkoff is back with the DL and pretty sure that Von Factor is back to assist with the DL

btw, good luck to the Raiders at W&J tonight.  Hopefully both teams get better with zero injuries

Quote from: hsbsballcoach7 on August 26, 2025, 07:09:57 PMLadies and gentlemen..... we have a semi- complete roster with names. Grades and height/weight aren't all correct.

Noticed Wyatt Stiehl (TE) is back.

Wyatt looks like he put on some weight.  Those multiple TE packages are going to have some beef

Quote from: D3fanboy on August 26, 2025, 11:36:08 AMLou Berry looks to be coaching CB's for the Raiders, probably a good thing that JCU ran off to the NCAC.  Might be a bit traumatic to see Lou in Mount Union Stadium again

I'm so glad I saw that play in person, one of my favorite UMU football memories.

in a program with 13 national titles, 452 conference titles....that play is an all-timer

I am in so much better of a place with Mount 2025 today, than I was yesterday.  A lot, a lot of questions were answered.  It really will all come down to coaching, can Mount play with an edge?  At least we'll know early

quite a bit of new faces in the black, returning letterman jerseys... the roster, when posted, will be interesting.  Maloney is not going to be short on weapons as a first year QB.

Also, it's about time for the broccoli haircut to go away. Hard to look like a tough football player when you look like an absolute doofus

there may or may not have been a Zach Liebler sighting at Mount photo day, he may or may not be #10 this season

Lou Berry looks to be coaching CB's for the Raiders, probably a good thing that JCU ran off to the NCAC.  Might be a bit traumatic to see Lou in Mount Union Stadium again

The UC baseball transfer (Ehrhardt?) is slotted in at LB (#23)

we don't have an official roster, but we have instagram videos from the Mount/W&J joint practice

sure looks like Shaun Thomas (#25) running around for the Raiders

Quote from: Pat Coleman on August 25, 2025, 10:32:09 AMMount Union is absolutely a top D3FB program!

you don't get insights like that anywhere else folks

I think any funeral planning for Mount Union football are a little pre-mature.  It doesn't look like Dartt as HC and OC is likely to work, nor does it seem like anyone but the fans are looking for an OC...but Mount is still a top D3FB program.  It's a definite drop down from the perch Mount was once on, but it's still pretty much Mount Union and some other program year in and year out.  It'll be interesting to see how the COVID seniors finally graduating will shape D3.

here's to hoping that Toledo has the fantastic football season that they are set up for, Candle and VK will be hot names on the coaching carousel.  Maybe VK can bring his 94% winning bro-in-law in for a "promotion"

wathcing the ISU/KSU game....Matt Campbell is a dawg, huge ones.  Where did the LK tree fracture?

huuugee national TV win for Matt!!!

Quote from: theaprof on August 23, 2025, 02:48:33 PMI don't really care about hype--I just want information.

That's my point though... they can't even give the fans, donors and students a roster.... at the very basics.

The only reason I would understand not putting it up the first week of camp would be so another college doesn't poach one of the 3-4 QBs, etc you recruit.

a QB recruit this year must really, really love football

Yes!!!
