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.
Tell Ric & them to refresh, the score updates are all there 🙂
By my count, the road team is 13-11 in the playoffs coming into today.
Yeah the crowd mics at the Mount game are right below the WRMU announcers so it is amplifying the Cortland fans
Big play for the W&J defense as UMHB has a third and one at the W&J 13 – Presidents call timeout.
I got frustrated a lot with how lethargic the MUC fans in the home stands could be at times….hope they are cheering this 2nd half!!!
Half time numbers…
Franklin: 234 yards on 47 plays. Rupp is 18-32 for 147 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT.
Wheaton has 151 on 30 plays. Norris is 7-11 for 72 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT.
Ricky Gingg has 83 yards on 16 carries. Rupp has 76 yards on 12 carries.
Pete Ittersagen with three huge plays in that half. The interception return for a TD was big as was the kick return that set up a Thunder score to go up 17-10. But he also had a teeth-jarring hit on Cole Zook where Zook came down with a near TD but was separated from it by Ittersagen before his fee touched down.
There’s a booth near the field that says “Free Heat.” Today they probably could’ve charged.
umhb on W&J 13 facing a 3rd &1
Dragons better make some progress in the 3rd quarter with the wind on their side. If I were Mt Union, I would have the ball to Kmic every play to run the clock down…so I hope Cortland focuses on him.
Here they go.
Apparently they are brand-new phone lines at this Franklin HS stadium — Gordon got booted six times and Franklin’s radio four times. Now we’ll be carrying Gordon via cellphone to my laptop and sending it out through there.
I like the live look-ins too Pat, much more convenient than toggling during the half. 🙂
I know this is nothing new, I just don’t always get to check it out from this end.
UMHB 21-7 3-something in the 1st
UW-W misses a 33-yd field goal, still 10-0 there.
COME ON RAIDERS – bring it!!!
Big 3rd down play coming early in the 3rd.
Gordon is outside the ‘booth’ also… !!!
muc01……sometimes you don’t know if they are alive. With this cold we may lose a few today!
28-7 umhb.. opition cant be stopped
UMHB 28 W&J 7 …still in the the 1st quarter
Touchdown UMHB p a good , UMHB28 W&J 7, 2:03 in 1st
If you guys had any idea as to the comical way we’re getting this done today you would be laughing your butts off. It’s like we’re back in 2001 here.
Fumble Warhawks. Wartburg with the ball on the Warhawks 35
UMHB gets their first down. The third holding call of this series on the next play pushes them back to the 21, but Saenz gains 19 on the next play and then Matt Hurst takes it in from two yards out and it’s 28-7.
Here comes Kmic! Let’s see if Cortland can stiffen again in the red zone as they did previous times.
Mount HAS to score a touchdown this time!
Let me guess you have a guy on a stationary bicycle pedaling to provide power too. We can imagine it and we are appreciative to the effort in getting the games to us a d3football. You huys are awesome
presidents: that appears to be the only way to beat W&J this year… with the option.
YES! Great start Raiders!
I said FOCUS ON KMIC ! Coe on D. At elast if they score we get the ball and the wind to keep it close.
It does annoy me how they keep talking about his 100 yard 1st half when he ran it 22 or so times.
26-14 pending the point.
TD!!! okay D….now its your turn 🙂
Pat,
Can you define the roles for us:
who is holding the two seperate power cords together and who is the guy duct-taping them together?
Pat, We appreciate the duct tape solution!! it’s the only way we are hearing these games. Thanks to you and your team!!
Kmic gets 57 yards on the opening MUC drive and the Raiders extend their lead to 27-14.
That’s 160yds and 3 TDs for Kmic so far. For most running backs that would be career game but Nate still has nearly an entire half to go. Wow.
Swallow fumbles on the UMHB 23 after a quick 47-yd drive. 1:28 left 1Q.
Wheaton with a 1st down but then Franklin gets the stop. Wheaton will punt on their first possession.
USee, all great minds think alike.
Interesting, it sounds like Franklin took the wind in the 3rd qtr.
DUCT Tape is a wonderful product. I hope you used your swiss army knife also!
WJPA announcer notes that UMHB is gaining at least 4 yds on 1st down, every time.
UMHB overcame 3 holding penalties on the 34-yd 7-play (4th) TD drive.
UMHB Saenz runs for 24 on 3 & 6. Ball on the W&J 49. W&J takes their 2nd timeout. 0:25 1Q.
Wheaton picks off the 3rd down pass and has the ball deep in Franklin territory.
Big play for Cortland right here…
Now 17-3 as Wartburg can’t figure a way to stop Whitewater. 8:54 left in the first half.
Mount’s D steps up……..
UMHB Saenz to Davis 34 yds. to the W&J 15. FD
UMHB rush for about 3. End of the first. UMHB 28-7.
Great bounce Mount’s way……this drive starting at the 37. If Cortland doesn’t hold here it could be a long rest of the game for them.
Ginng pounding the rock—Wheaton at the Grizzly 14, 1st and 10. he is over 100 yds early in the 3rd
“That’s 160yds and 3 TDs for Kmic so far. For most running backs that would be career game but Nate still has nearly an entire half to go. Wow.”
He has 29 carries for crying out loud. Considering he is the #1 rusher in history, I would expect him to have at least 160 yards, even in this weather.
104 yards rushing for Josh Saenz in the first quarter. UMHB outgained W&J 264-100 in the opening stanza and is in the Presidents’ red zone again.
And still has to go through Mount Union.
Gingg TD makes it 31-13 wiht PAT
Touchdown Thunder–Gingg for 7 yds.
31-13 pending xtra pt.
Big stop for the Dragons Defense.
I didn’t know Mt. Union even had a punter on their roster.
Cortland holds…….nice job by the D….this game is still happening.
