Ryan is driving and I’m posting from my phone as we streak along the highway in Wisconsin. Not heading to Whitewater, alas, though we will see them play. It’ll just be in the sport of basketball, in Stevens Point, Wis.
Here’s wishing some form of warmth to all at the games. And to you at home, good games to follow. Not much else to say, except that I will be keeping an eye on things courtside since my games don’t start until 2 et.
Floor is open.
It’s already up to 64 degrees in Belton, TX 🙂
Cortland with the early 7-0 lead in Alliance.
C State O did very well on the first drive…MUC D might want to get it in gear…
Very windy and snow flurries here in Alliance. Great opening drive for Cortland, mostly through the air, puts Mount Union behind for the first time this season. Mount is quickly driving, however, into Cortland territory.
Yeah, Cortland up 7-0. MUC radio guys can’t remember them trailing this season.
I’m getting “URL is invalid” on the Cortland broadcast, so now I don’t have to toggle back and forth between them as planned.
MUC 20-yard gain on the first play, down to the 17 in three plays.
Franklin stops Wheaton’s first drive with an INT … Wheaton returns the favor and with a 52-yd return go up 7-0 just three minutes into the opening stanza.
As I said a couple times this week, I think Cortland can match up with Mount Union physically. If Cortland plays its best game, and can finish tackles on Kmic, they have a chance.
Kmic first down.
Kmic TD.
Wheaton/Franklin live stats have the right score, but seem to be running behind on the PBP. Either that or I’m reading them wrong.
tied 7-7….MUC pounds the ball on the ground…
Kmic with the TD and 33 yards on MUC’s opening possession. Now we’ll see what Cortland can do with a MUC defense that is probably fully awake.
Ok, i’ll bow out and let others do the play by play 🙂
Can somebody post the radio link they have to the cortland/MUC game. I can’t find it
Keith, is the invalid URL code coming on http://www.wxhc.com? You may instead be on an unofficial stream, and that’s why you’re getting the error message.
I think we have a ballgame in Alliance. Sitting here in my hotel room in Chicago listening to Rick & Mark.
Watch the fake! 4th and 1 foot for Cortland.
Kmic is amazing…….
im not even there, but I think its safe to say Cortland is the best team MUC has seen all year…
Frankin gets inside the Wheaton 10, have to settle for a short FG, 7-3 Wheaton. They are having probs with the live PBP.
Kind of surprised Cortland didn’t go for it on 4th and short in MUC territory. You don’t get a lot of chances like that.
Mount now opening it up while they have the wind.
Pat and Keith,
Hope you guys have fun with that great WIAC matchup in Point today. I live about 20 minutes away from there, and was thinking about going home for to watch that one, but Wartburg winning kind of changed that plan.
Sounds like a fun game early on in Alliance. The snow has stopped here but still very cold and windy. I’m heading up to The Perk in a little bit to watch the show. Enjoy the games everyone!
I dont know guys….I feel like Cortland should have gone for it….would have made a statement if they made it….
Sorry, should have said Pat and Ryan.
Cortland making a goal line stand….Mount attempting a field goal.
It was ittersagen on the INT for the TD for Wheaton. Rupp has 3 drives and only 3pts.
Wheaton at the Franklin 20
Cortland forces an MUC fourth-and-goal, fourth Purple Raider FG attempt all year.
21 yard FG. 10-7, 1:11 1st.
Field Goal good…..10-7 Mount.
Cortland D earned MUC respect…MUC kicks the FG….
Now, will the REAL MUC D PLEASE STAND UP? 🙂
Nice defensive stance from Cortland. Its been a great week in Upstate NY listening to the Cortland fans and alum talking about this game.
Nice defensive stand by Cortland as they stuff Kmic twice and a third-down pass falls incomplete. They need to respond on this drive as MUC’s offense was clicking until that point.
Got the radio broadcast from the WRMU site. Sounds like a good game. I wish I was there!
Mount D is stepping up. Going to make Cortland punt into the wind.
Just wait. He didn’t come out scoring against Otterbein or North Central either. Franklin’s O will put pressure on for all 60 minutes, and in the game I saw, Rupp started to get a feel for the D he was seeing late second quarter.
Not saying Wheaton can’t stop them or outscore them, but I wouldn’t read too much into the first three drives.
Ittersagen is a pretty huge weapon. If he wasn’t AA before, his playoffs sure seem to be sealing the deal.
Three and out for Cortland.
wheaton drives to franklin 10. norris runs in for a TD but holding brings it back. sacked on 3rd down and a 41 fg for wheaton makes it
wheaton 10 franklin 3
wind is a big factor. wheaton has wind at their back in 1st qtr. rupp will have wind in 2nd qtr.
Now that Mount is going INTO the wind, let’s see if Cortland can stop the “Nate Kmic Show”.
Wheaton driving. This is their first time with the ball really.
Rupp has 15 passes in the first 8 minutes. He’s throwing 60 times easy today at that rate 🙂
Big return for MUC and Kmic gains 18 on the first play, MUC at the Cortland 30.
BIG first down for Mount!
Micheli’s legs are the X-factor.
Franklin driving and inside the red zone, it’s all Rupp, all the time.
Cortland is TOUGH within the red zone.
so far mt union has been twice held to FG’s inside the 10..we will see if that will be a factor in the game
Another big goal-line stand by Cortland. Need to capitalize with a good drive right here.
Only down 13-7 and the wind at their backs for 10 more minutes. Let’s see Ray Miles open it up.
Another moral victory for the Cortland D, but unless the Cortland offense gets on track it’s going to be just another MUC W.
Cortland with a big return to MUC 35.
special teams showing to be an issue for MUC again…
Another nice run with a poor kick into the wind
I have to admit. The Mount Union radio guys are MUCH better than the Cortland guys. I usually listen to Cortland’s broadcasts, but today I couldn’t get it to work so I am listening to Mt. Unions’ They are very professional and non-niased. THey also do a good job in both the play by play and the color. I can follow the game well.
LET’S GO DRAGONS !
