Leftover turkey…check.
Saturday afternoon sweats….check.
Eight great games to decide the regional finalists…check.
Pat Coleman and Keith McMillan went over the (Susquehanna) river and Frank Rossi and Mark Robinson went through the (Upstate NY) woods to bring you Muhlenberg-Wesley and St. John Fisher-Curry respectively on the NCAA Sports broadcasts.
The first game will be a match-up between the underrated, but very good Muhlenberg defense and a Wesley offense with great speed on the outside. The second game will be a test whether Curry has anything left after last week’s blowout of Hartwick and whether SJF can be caught watching the scoreboard a little in anticipation of a rematch with you-know-who. And Mark Robinson immediately becomes the all-time leading rusher in D3sports broadcasting history with his debut today.
Interesting games all over the place, though. Let’s hear about them.
my oh my—blowouts galore……..some expected, some a bit of surprise….hello, St. John’s—is anybody home?
TD UMHB
UMHB 35
NCW 0
28 seconds left in half…..crowd is leaving. 🙂
16 total yards NCW; 330 total yards UMHB. complete domination.
Crowd shouldn’t leave…support your boys!
With the UMHB score, the average lead is 24 points including the Bethel-UW-Eau Claire score.
Second round smack downs.
That’ll do it for me. Keep up the updates, guys.
Hey vhwon:
Has NCW quit?…UMHB is scoring at will
Next weeks Wesley vs. UMHB is shaping up as a classic
MUC 59, TCNJ 7.
LoyalSon,
I agree. However, I am at home listening to the game…..Rain still coming down in Belton. It is nasty out there.
Fair enough, then. Cold rain is the worst. I’d much prefer snow.
North Central won’t go away. By the way, their coach was one of the most succesful and innovative coaches in IL high school history, winning a few state championships. He coached one of the first IL teams to run the spread offense using 5 receivers-and dominated IL football that year. This team will give UWW any number of offensive looks to make adjustments very difficult.
Central leads 17-0 at the half.
24-14 UWW over NCC at half. It started out as a 21-0 game due to a few mistakes by NCC, but they are very much in this game right now. Total yardage is 201-192 UWW.
mount union offense 473 yards, TCNJ 57, late in the 3rd quarter.
Mikem17-
I agree…and down 10 at the half isn’t nearly enough to count out any team…especially those good enough to make the field of 32. If they come out and score first, it could make for a really good second half.
yep. except snow is central texas doesn’t happen very often.
Well someone got MUC angry–look out the rest of the field
Wabash representin’ for the road teams! Otherwise, the seedings seem to be playing out as the NCAA would have expected.
Eau Claire-Bethel update anubody?
wabash just scored on a 68-yard pass. 38-23, 3+ minutes left.
North Central comes out in spread and is moving the ball again. Rats.
24-17 UWW, and north central with the ball at UWW 25.
UWW should not be winning this game right now with the way they are playing.
20-0 Central. 6:30 left in 3rd. SJU driving and as I type this, Central picks off SJU at the Central 15. Central ball at their own 44. Huge play for Central.
buddy,
The score is actually 24-14 UWW. NCC is on the one about to punch it in, though.
oops. 24-14. i misheard. but north central just scored. 24-20.
and they get the extra point. 24-21. could be a great finish. 9 to play in the 3rd quarter. north central drove 70+ yards.
UWW has had a very hard time with NCC today. They are being outplayed.
dallas or buddy—24-20…wow a great game, keep the info coming…you’re our best link
UWW just scores on a bomb. 31-20 UWW

north central with 4th and 1 at their own 40 or so, and appears to be going for it. now they call their 2nd timeout of the 2nd half. maybe they’re reconsidering.

Hey,

Here’s something interesting. I am watching Boston College play Miami while listening to the UWW game. The head coach of Boston College is Jeff Jagodzinski, former player (fullback) at UWW.
