Mount Union K Ivan Maric has entered the transfer portal

where do you find the transfer portal information?

Typically, I find info by completing a search containing "Mount Union" and anything on X with that will pop up. Just sort it by the latest information.

kicking is a rough, rough business.  probably best for both sides to part ways.  stinks, kid had a big-time leg.

Who does Mount have this round? Oh right - forgot. GD wants to keep his reservation as King of the Kids Table.

Someone eluded to GD bei g 67-5 (?) etc. Yep. But Mount doesnt acknowledge conference championships- they dont do OAC rings. His record isnt  67-5, its 0-5.

On a related note I think my favorite LK stat is that he coached for more seasons (27) than he had total losses in his career (24), averaging less than 1 loss per season breaks my brain a little bit.

I mean I don't know how many times we have to say it on this board, but "The Standard is the Standard" by definition if you start to accept 67-5 with 0 titles as acceptable, than you're lowering the standard.

Regardless of if "The Standard" is realistic, achievable or fair, it's the standard GD is holding himself and his program to (which I respect) so it's only fair that we get to be unhappy with 0 Stagg Bowl wins since 2017.

[Raider 68]

The chance the Raiders win another Stagg Bowl with the current coaching staff is highly unlikely.
One major aspect of having a championship program is recruiting and except for a few key players,
the star performers are no longer coming to Mount.

"the standard is the standard" is a Mike Tomlin classic.  Makes perfect sense with the current iteration of the Mount Union football program.  Just like the Steelers, Mount racks up division titles and playoff bids but hasn't won anything of significance recently and lives off of past greatness.  Maybe Mount can put up a "Play like a Champion Today" sign in the locker room for next year?  becoming more and more like Notre Dame every year. 

There's gotta be some sayings and locker room signs that we can steal from NCC or something for 2026

luckily the Mount staff turns over very quickly with future superstar coaches getting bigger jobs and opportunities....wait, the staff has been basically the same for 6 years? weird

Not really sure how these guys have eligibility left, but losing multi year starters with a year left is not a great look...
