FB: Ohio Athletic Conference

[D3fanboy]

Stagg Bowl tickets go on sale today on TM at 9am.  Based on the seat map, it appears that all seating is general admission, so no need to rush to get them.
Just checked, there are some VIP reserved seats for $56.60, which includes fees but not taxes, up top in the C sections.  General admission tickets are $32 which include  all the unnecessary fees but not taxes.  They did offer student and military discounts.

not exactly a rush on the "VIP" tickets.

are the section C seats in the indoor luxury boxes? If so that sounds like a great deal for a January 4th game

in typical HOF Village fashion, their website gives exactly zero detail of what is included in the "VIP" ticket, other than an assigned seat.  I would advise any ticket buyers of expecting access to the lounge area at Benson, to proceed with caution.  Maybe they toss in a couple of Waterpark passes with each VIP ticket?

for all of you D3FB nerds out there, Logan Hansen has ONU winning 28 to 27 this week versus BW. Is this a potential play-in game for the playoffs?  BW wins and they should get in unless they BW against Berg at home on senior day (don't rule it out) and ONU's slim playoff hopes need 8-2.  The Polar Bears beat BW and they should coast against Ott in week 11.  Easily the game of the week in the OAC and one of the best in the country for sure

It sort of is -- paraphrasing what we said in this morning's pod, ONU will need some things to break their way even if they win, and BW is way out on the bubble if it loses.

I'm liking the play of Mount Union's front 7.  They're getting better each week.  Kaleb Brown and Parker Logan are going to make some noise going forward.

with Harris seemingly being out for the year, Mount has three new DL starters.  The LB crew is full of talented, but very inexperienced dudes, one who hasn't played football in years.  In addition to the baseball playing LB, the secondary has a safety that hasn't played defense since high school.  It's not an excuse, but maybe an explanation about the roller coaster of Mount Union defense this year. 

Mount has been pretty good on the outside this season, Brown and Logan have held the edges and the two corners have played well.  I think Kosta will bounce back from the Capital surprise.  That was supposed to be a running QB, but turned to a pass-pass offense.  Gotta lock in. 

With two weeks and then a bye, I'd love to see Mount put it all together and play well from the jump and with no let up.  But...ya know...there's Geoff....

Your lips to God's ear! Would crack me up to see BW do BW things

I will never stop enjoying the BW hate.  Really a rallying cry for everyone!  Haha

Dr Logan is projecting a BW-JCU 2nd round matchup with the winner heading to Alliance (provided Mount gets past their 2nd round)

Wouldn't that be something

This game has been close for like the last 5 years, but BW always comes up just ahead, maybe not this year But a Berg win would not be good for the conference, would like to see two teams get in

I mean, I believe I can speak on behalf of the JCU fanbase; while we dislike the Evil Purple empire, we respect you. However, what is there to respect about that team in Berea?

The school also produced an all-time great Ohio football coach in Jim Tressel

I would be SO happy if JCU leaves the OAC just to once again get knocked out in an early playoff round by Mount Union

do schools get a quarterfinalist trophy?  I had no idea there was a semifinalist trophy until the JCU paraded around social media with theirs in '16

No, we paraded around our OAC Championship trophy. You know that year when some team suffered an end to a regular season game winning streak.

Ed Bubonics' son plays QB there.
