Aztec Bowl roster ...

And my post was to acknowledge that Wabash had at least one invite, but the player in question talked to some professors and decided that he needed to be on campus that week.

Maybe its none of my business, but shame on the professors for not letting this kid get a chance of a lifetime.  If I were that kid I would ask the AD what he should do.  Thats not fair. 

If its the kids choice then so be it....

Jonny, ya gotta understand that compared to playing in the Monon Classic a little jaunt down to Mexico may not be all that impressive for these kids.   If it's his choice based on his academic and personal needs then more power to him.

Like I said before.  I dont want to comment on anyones personal business, but I hope his decision didnt come down to a professor not being flexible with an exam date or paper date.

And I would disagree that "a little jaunt down to Mexico" wouldnt be impressive.  I would say its a one in a lifetime experience and a special d3football event.

Jonny -

There's a quote on the Wabash press release regarding this. No professor is putting his or her foot down. It was totally a choice by the student athlete to put student first.

wish i would have known a little earlier.....heck the email about the webcast was posted 3 minutes after the webcast started. Didn't matter.....couldn't pick anything up anyway....just a blank media player. I figured I would try to listen to some of the preview show. Any chances the preview shows will be archived this week? Maybe I can fiure out why I wasn't picking anything up.

If this helps you guys debug -- it starts to load Charlie Chitwood's broadcast, then flips to "cuttingedge.wavestreamer.com" before failing.

Good health to all in prep for the Stagg.

This Aztec Bowl is enjoyable. Personal fouls starting to fly on both sides now though at USA 23 Mexico 13 5:00 in the 3rd.

37-19 final in the Aztec Bowl. Dubuque's Jermar Jackson was the Team USA mvp. Story and stats will be on afca.com shortly.

Team USA ran off nearly eight minutes of the fourth quarter on two scoring drives without throwing a pass to put the game away.
