Game Day: From eight to four

Posted on by

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.

  1. Saenz had 7 carries for 103 yds. UMHB had over 200 yds rushing in the first quarter.

    Tucker 12-yd rushing TD. PAT good 6 plays 77 yds 1:29 off the clock.

    UMHB 35-7; 14:55 in the 2Q.

  5. I lost the webcast, I better get it back soon, we just completed a long pass into double coverage…

  6. Cstate…

    I think they are talking about the TD total. If Cortland State had a RB with 3 TD’s in that length of time in a regional final game, I’d bet my 401K that there’d be a similar reaction by the same people and Cortland State fans.

    Enjoy the game, man. You’re team is playing well.

  7. Mount’s D holds again…..

    CSTATE……5.5 yards a carry isn’t good? Why are you derisive about Kmic’s stats?

  9. It does annoy me how they keep talking about his 100 yard 1st half when he ran it 22 or so times.

    Is that bad?

    I realize what you’re trying to say, that he’s an average yards per carry so the total yards at that rate shouldn’t be that amazing.

    But perhaps the 22 (or 29 in a later post) carries this early on is amazing.

    Some teams hardly run that many plays in a half.

    Also, you gotta give MUC credit for riding their horse since they have (had?) a young/inexperienced team this year, for the most part.

  11. That W&J defense is going to tire out.

    W&J starts at the W&J 23-yd after an 11-yd KOR.

    Swallow to Church 12 yd to the W&J 35.

    Swallow Incomplete, but W&J holding penalty; back to the 25. Still 1st down.
    Jones runs to the 31. 2 & 14. 13:35 left.
    Swallow sacked for the second time; credit Eric Henri with the sack;
    3 & 22 — Swallow sacked again, by Bristow, and he fumbles. UMHB ball at the W&J
    Punt —

  12. 5 yards a carry is good of course, but it is expected. If you are going to hand the #1 rusher in history the ball 30 times in 2 1/2 quarters, you have to expect 150 or so yards…

    thank g-d for the flag.

  16. Error above. Swallow fumbled on 3rd down on the pressure. UMHBN takes over on the 18.

    UMHB rush for 6, rush for 6 more.

    UMHB from the 6, rush for 4; Saenz gets the QB sneak for the TD from the 2. PAT to come. UMHB 41-7.

  17. Rupp leads Franklin down the field. Wheaton offsides on 4th and 4 (pass was incomplete). Rupp finishes w a run from 5 yds out, TD Franklin.

    Franklin to go for 2.

  21. Ralph,

    What do you mean W&J’s defense is going to get tired?? MHB is averaging 10.5 yards a snap on offense… despite the points they’ve given up, they haven’t been on the field long enough to get tired.

  23. UMHB 42-7 10:55 in the 2Q. (Illegal procedure on the first PAT attempt which was good. Second attempt was good, too.)

    We McMurry football fans can take solace in this game versus UMHB. 🙂

  24. Gong tobe a tough task. Down 13 to the #1 team in history, on the road, in a windy snowstorm, and going into the wind in the 4th…

    Wow.

  30. CSTATE, yeah it’s going to be tough for your team, but I think they are playing the best game that Mount has seen all season. Cortland is playing one heck of a game. But my Raiders will still pull it out 🙂

  33. Cstate, I can guarantee that Cortland’s game plan was not to allow Knic to rush for 250 yards and 5 TDs regardless of his standing as the #1 rusher in history.

    I don’t know why you are taking offense. The dude’s having a monster game and I acknowledged it. Hey, UMHB’s Josh Saenz has 106 yds and 2 TDs in 1 1/3 quarters, so he’s not the only one today.

  35. COnditions effect both teams, not only Kmic but the defenders as well. Just an FYI to the used to be unbiased Mt Union announcers….

    Things arent looking too good, but if we can make a comeback in these conditions, that would be incredible.

  37. Wheaton forces a punt. Ittersagen back to recieve…..out of bounds.

    Wheaton leads 38-21. get ready for the Rocky Horror picture show.

  40. W&J — 2 FD’s to midfield.

    Loss of 1 rushing.
    Swallow incomplete pass to Besongat the UMHB 35.
    (Swallow 8-13 135 yds 1TD so far.)
    Swallow sacked by Aguilara (the CRU’s 4th) back to the W&J 41.
    Punt short hits at the 33 and rolls to the UMHB 26. 7 minutes left. Only 3+ minutes for that W&J drive. UM HB 42-7.

    UMHB 1 & 10 on their 26.

  41. Franklin gets their 1st 3 and out of the game. Only the 3rd time they have stopped Wheaton today. Rupp to go to work. 3min to go in the 3rd

  42. Ok, Ill admit.

    Kmic is pretty awesome and the announcers are pretty fair. Im actually enjoying the webcast, not easy for me to enjoy the oppositions broadcast.

  46. I will take the opponents broadcasters anytime, especially if I am able to listen to the game. It is tough being biased for your own team, but they are doing a decent job.

  48. Saenz is an interesting story for UMHB.

    Sat behind Welch for all those years.
    Suspended for the first game of the year.
    Replaced as starter at QB the last few games of the regular season by Noack.
    Starting again after Noack got hurt.
    Playing great football in the playoffs.
    Seems like a very confident kid (at least at the post game conference last week.)

  50. Rupp long pass to Wheaton 33. This game is not over with him at the helm. Kevin Lynch (WR for Franklin) had his shoulder dislocated, went out and got it popped back in place and is back in the game. Tough kid.

    Franklin at the Wheaton 20
