Who?

How any one can say this was exciting is beyond me. The game was decided on a fumble at the two yard line. Look at the reality, the game was a dud. The next day I watched the NAIA finals, that was exciting football. Mt. Union or Whitewater would not even be close, not to mention the CBS HD telecast that put the ESPN 2 production to shame. Keith ought to get his head out of the sand. When he said the coaches will have to hit the high school recruiting trail I had too laugh. Both WW and Mt. U were lead by Division II and Division I transfers. As far as closing the gap, the NCAA does not help. As I stated in a previous blog. Both WW and MU have now played 35 extra games (5 games X 7 seasons) which equals 3 and 1/2 extra seasons, they have had 35 extra weeks of practice in the 7 year run, approximately 9 home games a season. This translates to an unbelievable competitive advantage which makes it very attractive to upper division transfers. Based on the returning players your are going to have the same game for the next two years unless the NCAA changing the brackets. Same boring game. How any one can say this was exciting is beyond me.

Don't have a clue how much money good coaches in D3 make. I would think that the top 10 teams coaches make at least $100k. I wonder if Leipold will bolt to a higher paying job and move up to FCS?

I know we don't agree on some things but that's ok. Like moving the Stagg to a better venue for all. Sometime we just have to agree to disagree. I want to thank all the D3 Staff for a great year.

Coaching and defense was the key and UWW won both! I think D3 deserves a better place to play the Stagg. I know many (Pat and Keith included)disagree but the conditions are horrible in Salem. The players and fans deserve better. Even the refs deserve better than that and I'm a ref, so a little bias. Really though, the stands were half empty and the fans were all just trying to stay dry and warm. Politics will win and yet again next year everyone will battle the conditions. I wonder how the players and coaches feel about it? Great game!! Coaching and defense was the key and UWW won both!

Mt. Union gave UWW everything they could handle and just came up short. These were the 2 best teams in D3, and I will be rooting for both teams to make it back next year! geiger,

Union has become the Washington Generals of D3. Make them play on the road in the semis once in a while and we wouldn't have to watch them get pounded by Whitewater every year. And we wouldn't have to look at Kehres chewing gum and spitting all night long...I don't want to see his chewing gum every time he opens his mouth. Disgusting. Mt.

The Raiders had a chance to win it at the end with over 2 minutes and a time out left. I think the game was alot closer than most of the predictions. Raiders defense held Coppage to just 91 yards. Congrats to both teams and especially UWW for the victory! What a game! The Raiders had a chance to win it at the end with over 2 minutes and a time out left.
