FB: Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

They were two deep on the one TD. Footing outside the numbers was brutal and the corner just lost his footing on the break on the skinny post. Reminded me of Rundell's long TD last week. Bad footing is advantage WR who knows where they are going with the route. But agree it was frustrating to watch and just wanted to put it away.

We've got 2 local teams in the quarter finals that are about 45 minutes apart.

Western Wiscy forecast for Saturday is 3 above. Naperville probably plenty cold too.

Good times. Dress warm fredfalcon!

Calm down with the hyperbole and Debbie Downer stuff......we just lost to the likely other team playing in the Stagg Bowl (North Central clearly is the best team).  The reality of D3 football is the best teams are clustered geographically and forced to play each other early in the playoffs, thus never allowing for a true 1-2-3-4 bracket.  River Falls is a once a decade team right now with Blaha and his supporting cast is very good. 

Not making any effort to run the ball throughout the season came back to haunt us.  We can't continue to throw the ball 50+ times in playoff games and expect to win.

Final point- let's have some perspective......we ended our season 10-2 with loses to two teams in the Top 5 of the country.  The last time our season ended the way we want the oldest of today's players were 2-3 yrs old, the d3 playoffs are (and always have been) a gauntlet.

Yep. If you can't control the line of scrimmage and run the ball in December the odds of a deep playoff run are greatly diminished.
