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.
What happened against Ithaca?
Honest question.
These outtakes are pretty informative actually. Apparently the footing really takes away from Kmic’s game.
Touchdown Wheaton. they lead 24-10 with just over 2min to play in the half. (pending xtra pt)
7-0 umhb long run on the opition set up the score
Big possession w 1.53 left. If Franklin can get pts its a different game.
Great first half……..should be a great one in the second.
Mount gets the ball, so let’s see if they can take back control.
Wheaton is once again knocking on the door of the final four……
Ray Miles made poor decisions and turned the ball over too many times. It is their HUGE rivalry game, and when they fell behind a little, he tried to force the action and do it all himsef…he then left the defense on the field all day..add to it poor weather conditions and poof, an aberration of a game. If you look at Ray Miles career, you will see it was just an aberration.
As much as I would have loved the undefeted seaosn, I think it made them refocus.
20-14.
Shoud be a great 2nd half.
Great first half. Nice broadcast on the Mount radio site also. Onto the second half.
I’m with skunk….( didn’t think Id post those words today….)
Mount gets the ball….they need to score….and then a strong D stand…
easy to say….and with Cortland today, hard to do….
We’re going to get Gordon set up on a better stream here in a bit.
Three and out for W&J as Swallow gets sacked for -8 on third and long.
UW-W draws first blood after recovering a fumble. 3-0 early.
Rupp makes a huge completion on 3rd and long. franklin w ball in wheaton red zone 1.11 left in half. all 3 TO’s. plenty of time for Rupp. He has been as advertised so far.
i think Cstate89 was saying that this is Cortland’s best team since 1988…
You may have already interpreted it like that Keith….I just thought Id mention….
14-0 umhb opition pass
24 seconds to go. Rupp at the wheaton 19
Saenz finds Davis for 35 yards and a score on his first pass on the day. 14-0 UMHB with five minutes gone in the game.
3rd and 10 for Franklin. Time Out Franklin. this is really big for Franklin
Franklin still outgaining Wheaton by a lot, and it’s 80-80 in rushing yards.
But 24-10 on the scoreboard. Thunder just put together an 11-play, 75-yard drive.
If the Griz can’t get any stops and are trailing by 14, might not matter how many yards they put up.
Can’t say I’ve been able to follow that half or the story of that game as well as Cortland State-Mount Union.
This is the crazy 2 hours here, with all four games going on.
Sure wish I could TiVo these suckers and watch them later.
We should be good for Gordon Mann from Franklin now, out of our portable Stevens Point, Wis., studios.
batted down. FG attempt…..good.
24-13 Wheaton.
OK, so it wasn’t just me. That sounds like it could be a good one to listen to.
Yep. Him saying that made me wonder why they got beat so badly when “lesser” Cortland teams hadn’t. Bad day? Rivalry? Weather? Something Ithaca did?
Perhaps UMHB’s Bryson Tucker should have been included in the survey of who will get the most rushing yards….75 yards in the first 6 minutes of the game. UMHB 14 W&J 0.
Another three and out for W&J. The Presidents, trailing 14-0, have -7 yards total offense as Swallow is 0-3.
wj better wake up or it could be a repeat of 2004
… and UMHB gets a great return inside the W&J 30.
All of Franklin’s rushing yds are Rupp scrambles. Very tough to stop 5 receivers and a good running qb.
Rocky Gingg with 83 yds on 16 carries.
Norris is 7-11 for 72 yds.
Rupp is 18-32 147 yds 1Td and 76 yds rushing.
21-0 umhb
Saenz takes it in from 18 yards out. The rout is on. 20-0 UMHB pending the XP.
D3Keith, I addressed your question on the Ithaca game in a prior post…take a look.
Guess I’m the only one updating the scoreboard from Franklin-Wheaton. 🙂
Rupp 18 of 32. I think after his first 15 completions he’d hit 6 guys at least twice. He also has 76 rushing yards.
The defensive TD for Wheaton seems big.
Usee, I guess it’s just you … What’s the story of the half there?
Sometimes listening to all the games means you don’t get a great feel for any single one.
Antwan Anderson scores from seven yards out and Whitewater increases their lead to ten over Wartburg.
-22 yards rushing and one first down for the Knights.
Touchdown WHITEWATER Anderson carries it in
WOW..MHB
MHB really looking like they want a 4th shot at UWW
I gotcha. That was for MUCNash who was asking why I was asking or trying to clarify your statement for you.
I guess we aren’t really achieving clarity by addressing it more, but we’re good. Thanks.
21-7 umhb 5.22 left in the 1st. drive started at the 40 of WJ
Swallow’s found his rhythm with two completions to Craig Besong and just that quickly the Presidents are at the UMHB 21.
Hope they can get the field decent…..
Dang I hate when things happen as I’m typing. Good series for the Presidents, now can the defense respond?
Live stats fixed on Mt Union website…
Anybody listening to the Cortland-Mt. Union game braodcast agree that the Cortland fans seem much louder than the Mt Union fans ?
Man, Wartburg is throwing it all over the field
Wheaton-Franklin coming through now. Good fix Pat.
Another short kick by the Presidents, another good return by UMHB’s Matt Hurst, the Cru are in business at the W&J 34.
Could be just the placement of the crowd mics. MUC fans tend to fill up the far side (non-press box side) of the field first, which is backwards from most D3 stadiums.
Keith,
Rocky Gingg is the story as he has 83 yds on 16 carries. 5.2 yds per carry is not good for Franklin. Look for 40 carries for Rocky if this continues and limited Rupp chances. Norris has been efficient after an early pick 7-11 for 72 yds.
Rupp is as good as advertised but wind is a factor. Wheaton with the ball to start the 2nd half. That will be a big possession. Remember, Franklin has been on fire in the second half of their 1st two playoff games.
CSTATE……broadcast is on Cortland’s side. However, Mount fans aren’t usually that loud.
umhb 21 W&J 7 1st quarter
The live stats on the feed from the Mount Union webpage have been refreshed and ready for the 2nd half.
