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.
Rupp brings em down and scores. 10-10
ittersagen with a huge kick return to the franklin 40. wheaton at the franklin 30 w first down and driving.
10 all as Rupp finds Deffner from 15 yds out on third and 10 for Franklin’s first TD.
Total yardage: Franklin 164, Wheaton 39.
Sounds like an MUC sack on fourth-and-5.
WHAM! Big play by Mount’s D on 4th down.
anybody there in Alliance…was that a catch there a few plays ago for Cortland…
Franklin needs a new web server. Getting lots of broken HTML so apparently the server’s not handling the load very well. Wheaton’s inside the FC red zone.
Gingg carries guys into the endzone. wheaton 17-10. 10 min left in 1st half
Cortland’s D now stepping up and tackling Kmic.
No, it wasn’t a catch for Cortland – definitely bounced first. Good call.
Yeah, I agree, I’m enjoying the Mount crew.
The Franklin-Wheaton audio isn’t working for me either. Anyone listening to Gordon?
I usually don’t have problems with audio or video, at least on the Mac, but even if it’s something I’m not doing, you figure if a somewhat computer savvy D3 guy can’t get the broadcast (not that I’m trying a lot of options here), a lot of fans can’t either.
I had Gordon but lost him. listening to Franklin webcast now.
They have put the clamps on Kmic so far–hope I didnt curse it.
Rocky Gingg takes it in from seven yards out to put Wheaton up 17-10, 10:04 to play in the half.
Micheli makes it happen again.
Wheaton forces a punt. Franklin kicks it out of bounds. Wheaton w ball at their own 25
this sounds like one of those classic cold as hell days in Alliance…I’ve sat through so many of those….gives me chills just thinking about it….
WOW is Cortland’s D tough in the red zone!
Big sack by Red Dragons D
Gingg with 65 yds in 1st half. If they can reel off 6+ yds per carry its a good sign for the Thunder. Wheaton at close to midfield
Great, neither of the live stats are working consistently now.
And the UMHB feed says “Live Basketball Action” – LOL
First and goal Mount….
damn.
GO PURPLE RAIDERS – PUNCH IT IN!!!!
TOUCHDOWN Kmic!
Micheli run on 4th for MUC down to the 12.
Re: radio and internet video, I’m thinking one of these years a winning technology will develop so everyone’s using the same thing. Right now you have so many different carriers and different things opening up different programs. It’s not a major inconvenience when it works, but it would nice …
Kmic scores to cap a long drive before the half, 19-7 pending PAT.
Snow starting to cover the yard lines here in Alliance. Mt. Union completed a big pass on 3rd-and-12 from the 14 to the 1-yard line and then punched it in on the next play. 20-7 with 1:06 left in the half.
@ Td’s down. With 1:06 left and the wind to our backs, we need a score to end the half.
What a great battle so far……Cortland appears to be the best team by far that Mount has played this year.
Wheaton moving again. at the Franklin 39
Need 53 yards in a minute with the wind at our backs. Need a score.
sweet – okay, I know Micheli is a great QB and his career no matter how these playoffs end has been absolutely stellar…but Nate Kmic is the glue of this team’s offense….He and the Mount O line continue to tow the line…..
Said that last week too.
Nobody turns the audio down during commercials, but at least I haven’t heard any F-bombs on the timeouts. 🙂
MUC can take the ball to start the 2nd half too. Cortland would like some points before the half … and gets a catch that takes them across midfield(?) to the 32.
20 Yard pass. Come on Ray, we need you now. Look for the G-man.
2 plays
Cortland TD. Wow.
There is no doubt Cortland has a quality program. I live thirty minutes from Cortland so I know first hand. They will compete.
TOUCHDOWN CORTLAND STATE !
Kmic may not have 3 games left after all….
Cortland completes two big pass plays and scored a TD on a Jeffrey Lang catch with 41 sec. left. PAT good – 20-14 Mt. Union
Wow….look out….Cortland just answered……quick.
20-14 just like that.
Gingg running right over Franklin now. another 8 yds after a 20 yd norris to pokorny connection. Wheaton 1st and goal
THe Red Dragons best team since 1988.
UMHB will start near their 40 after a short kick.
And yet he may.
This is why we listen.
I don’t really understand the furor over that comment. I guess if you want to paint it like he’s looking past people you could. But every team in the playoffs is taught to aim for the Stagg Bowl. You telling me if you went to Mount Union, you wouldn’t?
MUC secondary has got to pull it together….adjustments, adjustments, adjustments will be needed to win this ball game.
Franklin w a good stop inside the 10 on 3rd ddown but pass interference gives wheaton a 1st down again at the 5.
in the snow – Cortland hanging tough
MUC 20
Cortland 14
Perhaps UB beating up on Ball St is the East’s first step toward stepping up to the North.
Key to the game is simple…wwhich tem will have a better 2nd half quarter with the wind at their backs ?
Mount going to attempt the hail mary into the wind maybe?
The big thing Wheaton has done is keep Rupp off the field. 2 and change left. 2nd and goal.
Bryson Tucker rips off a 50-yd run, UMHB in the W&J red zone after three plays.
