Mount football's X (formerly Twitter) feed announced tomorrow is a/the blackout game.

Not making excuses, of course. But I don't see Nick Turner or Shaun Thomas anywhere. And sophomore OL Greyson Lehman is on crutches after getting injured. Still though Mount does not look good, to say the least.

Have we seen this game before?

Quote from: Dr. Acula on October 11, 2025, 10:38:21 PMThat stadium is an oddity.  I'm sure most OAC fans would say it's too small.  Personally with the size of OAC crowds in Tiffin I think it's great.  Much better to have smaller capacity on campus IMO.  It's a nice facility.

Nice now, when I was there it was the Tiffin High School field, then it was let's just play on our turf field that has no bleachers 

I like to imagine there was a day a lot of the OAC stadiums were packed right?  Like BW maybe in the 70s or something.  Seem like even High School football these days, way less people then there used to be

A small packed stadium is always better than a half empty oversized one. I think it's so annoying that the Stagg Bowl rotations have now featured massive venues that just don't make any sense. I was at the game in Annapolis, and while it was neat to see Navy's stadium, it didn't have the same energy as the games in Salem.

I find this attendance thing interesting, I've got a spreadsheet where I've been tracking home playoff attendance for Mount Union and I was able to find numbers going back to 2005. High water mark was 2015 semi final against UWW (6147) Low water mark was the quarter finals in 2018 against Muhlenberg (1157).

Ironically I was at both those games. I also think when I was a freshman in the fall of 04 the night game (home opener) against JCU had something like 7500 people. SRO, so I (probably incorrectly) recall.

Quote from: MUC 2008 on October 11, 2025, 03:56:15 PMOAC ready to admit that FloSports is a scam? Bill Simmons thinks so.

Can you explain this a bit? I was actually going to purchase the stream from Flo until I saw it. 

The stream is very unreliable. From what I'm given to understand it's not an isolated phenomenon. Bill Simmons of former ESPN fame just this week I think went on a (legitimate) tirade about how FloSports cannot reliably carry his daughter's games (can't recall if she plays soccer or field hockey) which he needs FloSports to watch. If a former ESPN pundit is saying the tech is poor, I'll defer to him. Additionally, it is basically a service that you now pay for that we all got for free last year insofar as Flo just seems to bundle together the college feed and make it far more difficult to actually watch.

OAC ready to admit that FloSports is a scam? Bill Simmons thinks so.

Same. Live practice for when it might matter or just being petty? I am not sure.

Quote from: Fido0650 on October 11, 2025, 02:24:31 PMWay too many dropped passes.

Not the first game it's happened either.

Watching the Otterbein game?  Cause I was about to ask that as well, I've never seen it.

No - Mount v Wilma.

Does OAC have replay? Have I been this ignorant this long?

And now a missed XP...

Stupid idea to go after the punt...

Everyone but Geoff Dartt saw that run on fourth down coming...

Quote from: BergAlum2 on September 10, 2025, 08:39:24 PMQuestion for the Mount historians, when is the last time ya'll lost a regular season out of conference game, the 90s?

It was in the game notes for this week's game. Mount last lost a non-conference regular season game to Denison on September 16, 1989.

I think Denison was still running the Single Wing in '89.

Greetings PAC fans, specifically Grove City fans!

As a traveling Mount Union alum/supporter, I was told by a GC alum that there is no admittance fee for Saturday's game at Thorn Field. Is that correct? Looking forward to a spirited and competitive contest on Saturday!
