It’s Game Day: Pick your pictures

Posted on by

This is another good game day to be sitting in front of the virtual TV. I’m not entirely sure I will shell out $12 for the Linfield/Willamette game — and with our Adam Johnson on the scene in McMinnville, I know we’ll get a good perspective on the game anyway.

Tonight I’ll be watching the Wheaton/North Central game online. Still pondering what early game or games I’ll be following most closely this afternoon, but I’ll probably use one computer to surf through a bunch of games and the other to follow Otterbein/Capital or Whitewater/Stevens Point or the like.

Gordon Mann reports in from Williamsport, Pa., that the weather will have an impact on the Delaware Valley/Lycoming game. Lycoming still has grass, which is a couple years away from being in the minority. Just under half of Division III football fields have one of the various brands of infill artificial turf.

Where you’re at, I hope it’s mild and dry.

  2. Springfield with a 14-7 lead on St. John Fisher, getting its two touchdowns in its traditional way: a pass and a kick return. 🙂

  4. Webber is an naia school and they only have one other naia school(Edward Waters ) who Wesley beat 2 yrs ago , on their schedule

  5. Catholic with a 14-7 lead on Hampden-Sydney after the first play of the second quarter. Otterbein’s opening drive against Capital stalls out — waiting to see if Marty Asmann takes the field at QB for the Crusaders.

  7. on air reports that Lyco has decided NOT to play Wesley next year and that one other MAC who committed to extending play with Wesley beyond this year is also pulling out…

  8. I know the MAC has committed to a challenge with the PAC for the next two years, so I suspect that some MAC teams will have to lose games they’d already committed to.

  9. Salisbury rolling over Becker 42-0
    Wesley 21-0 ,three drives three tds. over 200 yrds of O for Wesley. Webber D is not putting up much resistance.

  11. Waiting to get Gordon’s half time post from Lyco/DelVal, Looks on radar like it may be raining heavily in Williamsport

  14. Whitewater takes only 3 plays to get into the endzone, 33 yard TD pass Jeff Donovan to Aaron Rusch, XP blocked…Whitewater 6 Stevens Point 0 13:02 in first.

  16. Greg Micheli just ran 60 yards for a touchdown for Mount Union, giving the Purple Raiders a 42-0 lead. He is 8-for-10 passing for 203 yards and four touchdowns and has 82 rushing yards.

  25. Catholic wins that game 33-21, improves to 6-1, 2-1 in the ODAC. HSC falls to 4-1 in the league and has just one ODAC game left, the Randolph-Macon rivalry game at home to end the season. Catholic still has to play three and win all three to secure the automatic bid.

  39. Wabash 45 Wooster 24; Wabash all but secures 4th straight NCAC championship. Will clinch next week with a win against Oberlin.

  40. glad I put “W”s on Plymouth and Lycoming…this should help Ithaca @6 & 1 move up a bit they looked good in the rain & mud today…that builds character

  41. I spoke with Coach Mike Clark of Lycoming after the game. The Warriors will play Rowan starting next year under a four-year arrangement.

    Point to ponder: If Willamette and Occidental win out and are the only two undefeated teams in the West region, does that force the NCAA to fly teams to both of them? Does the west region road to the Stagg Bowl now go through the Pacific Time Zone? Or does 8-0 Monmouth figure in somehow?

  43. Holy carnage Batman!?!?!

    Spent the day at my 10th reunion, wasn’t checking scores on my phone. Got home, got situated and No. 2 lost, No. 3 lost, No. 4 was down 20-0 (now 23-6, and my No. 4 is winning that game, but that’s beside the point), and at least three more ranked teams lost (H-SC, Linfield and Del Val … Capital makes four) plus Plymouth State beat Curry … only the second-coolest streak-snapper of the day.

    I realize if you’ve been paying attention all day you know this already. But to sit down and see it in one fell swoop is pretty wow.

    Got some second-half CCIW action to catch, later on y’all.

    Re: Rowan vs. Lyco, ohh, only a series that should’ve started about 10 years ago. But kudos nonetheless.

    Oxy goes to Willamette in that situation, Gordon. Bank on it.

    (I’d like for that not to be the case, and the last time they did that, ’05 maybe, the West was much stronger & full of unbeatens.)

  44. Up 30-7, North Central appears to be making a pretty strong case for No. 2. Granted, if you had them at 8 or 9 going into today, that leaves you with what, Muhlenberg?

    Perhaps some voters won’t punish UMHB for the non-division loss.

    Went downstairs to get a slice of pizza and it’s 37-7. It was 23 about 5 minutes ago.

  45. All-American voters take note … Pete Ittersagen loses an INT due to another DB’s pass interference.

    Trying to figure out if NC is that good or if Wheaton isn’t, or was it just one of those days.

  47. North Central added another score to make it look more like the blowout that it was.

    Carnage calculator:
    No. 2 UWW
    No. 3 UMHB
    No. 4 Wheaton
    No. 18 Hampden-Sydney
    No. 21 Capital
    No. 22 Delaware Valley
    No. 23 Linfield

    Other significant Ls for pollsters:
    Curry
    John Carroll

    Gonna be a very different looking top 25 tomorrow.

  48. Hmm, yes, some space has definitely opened up.

    Been a long time since we had a weekend like this one.

  49. A bad day for UMHB !! Injuries, injuries, injuries……….can’t deal with many more. Though we have had some luck with youngsters “stepping-up”…week before last we had a young man play for the Jr Varsity on Monday night then gained 100 yards for the Varsity on Saturday. I think someone said we’ve started 5 different players at running back this year. The question is how many more “step-ups” are we going to have to use…….
