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.
4th and 7 for Rupp……interepted by Wheaton.
Franklin outgaining 359-213 but trailing 38-21 after Rupp’s 3rd pick.
Late 3rd qtr., I believe.
UMHB 49 W&J 7….1st half still.
UMHB — Hurst runs from the UMHB to the W&J 5. 59 yds… Called back by a holding, back to the UMHB 33. 1st and 3. (UMHB has had 4 holding calls.)
UMHB — Hurst for 7. FD
UMHB — Hurst for 5,
Saenz for 4 to the UMHB 49,
Saenz QB sneak – 1 yd FD.
Hurst — rush for 1
Hurst — rushes for 4.
Saenz –keeps on the option to the 35. 10 yd gain. FD (Saenz 11 carries 120 yds).
Hurst — rushes up the middle for 13 yds FD at the 22 (Hurst 10 carries for 55 yds.)
FB rushes for 1.
Saenz — Scott TD pass 21 yds. PAT good UMHB 49-7 1:21 left in the half.
Ugh…I never give up or say die, but the fat lady is warming up.
UMHB putting the rest of the field on notice….my goodness…
Hate to see Ray Miles out of the ball game in Alliance….
Mount’s D has played well in the crunch. Mount definitely answered the challenge today, and Cortland gave them all they wanted.
Kmic will get his yards today….but UMHB has nearly 300 rushing yards in the first half as a team.
You talking about C. St. and MUC? I thought they said Centennial, which would be Pa./Md.
Oh geesh…….don’t get hurt with a cheap shot Kmic….
I know the conditions probably hurt Kmic and Mt Union as much as us, but I would love to see this game on a dry, sunny 50 degree day.
Ooops…..I heard Ric/HSCoach say NY…my bad.
UMHB 48-7 … Saenz TD pass 😯
When do you call off the dogs if you have potentially the defending champions the following week? Do your guys need work or rest/protection from injury?
W&J starts at their own 25 with 1:14.
Jones for 3.
Jones runs for 5.
Time expires. UMHB 49-7 at the half.
4th quarter now. Wheaton at the Franklin 40. grinding clock.
Help us out and don’t hit refresh on this page so often. Server is getting slammed. We’ll have to take the Daily Dose offline if it doesn’t scale back a bit.
Keith…it’s always the question…..when do you pull them?
I would say one or two series at the most in the 3rd quarter.
skunkssidekick – that wasn’t intended to be a cheap shot at Kmic…He is an obviously talented individual. I was just pointing out that UMHB as a team is putting up some impressive numbers.

Especially when you frequently run two crews in rotation… only 52 players on the road trip.
In Texas Six-man football, we have a 45-point rule in the second half af a game.
So what do you tell your team when you’re a thousand miles from home and down 49-7 in the NCAA quarterfinals? You have to feel for those kids and the coaching staff.
vhwon,
I believe he was talking about the personal foul called on Cortland State as the “cheap shot”..
I feel for W&J’s play-by-play guy, that going to be a long second hald, especially when you’re in the booth by youself.
45-227-4 for Nate Kmic.
Not a bad day.
Im outta here. im in Southern California and it is a beautiful day.
Good luck in the final 4 Mt Union, you are impressive as hell.
CONGRATS TO MY DRAGONS FOR A KILLER SEASON, THANKS FOR MANY ENJOYABLE SATURDAY MORNINGS ON THE WEB.
thats ONLY 5.04 per carry, Pat 🙂
Wheaton with a 4th and 3 at the Franklin 21. Norris on the keeper gets the 1st down. Wheaton will run the clock some more. Norris on play action complete to the 9 yd line.
It’s all going Wheaton’s way right now.
SaintsFAN….ok…my apologies. Thanks! I guess I missed that.
You just want a do-over 🙂
It did look pretty promising for a while there, I don’t blame you.
So Wheaton looks like it will reach its glass ceiling in MUC … interesting storyline, as would be the other two teams in the lead, UMHB vs. UWW.
Wheaton with a 4th and goal from the 2. Norris fumbles the ball and Franklin has it. They tried to put the final nail in the coffin and Franklin with life but they have Rupp.
Yeah, definitely need the analyst then to throw out stuff … memories of the successes earlier in the season, start reviewing who’s coming back next year.
I know LK respects the heck out of Swider, and it appears Wheaton is playing well at the right time. Should be a great one.
If the weather wasn’t a factor the spread would be the same, but just more scores for each team (IMO).
Funny story here. The Schwanns delivery guy stops by the house. Sees my Mount Union hat and sweatshirt on. Laughs and says he was from Ohio Northern and played football. I said come and listen to the game as I had it on the radio stream and showed him the postings too. Another funny part of the story he works in Cortland.
Wheaton holds on 4th down in Franklin territory. Wheaton with the ball and 7min+ to play.
it would be nice if the MUC guys in the ball game would not fumble the dang ball…
I have seen Wheaton/MUC 5x. I would love a battle that Wheaton can win but I am not optimistic. I said Kmic was the best I had seen 2 yrs ago and Micheli was a great qb, it doesn’t appear they have gotten any worse.
I would love to give the Purple Raiders a game in Alliance but I am a realist.
So including today’s 227, how many yards does Kmic need to break the all-classification career rushing record?
wasn’t this an issue earlier in the season with the back ups, muc01nashvegas?
something thats forgotten in all of their runs, is MUC (and all playoff teams) get extra practice time. I’m sure LK will have an eye on the future as he reminds the youngsters in practice how much of a sin it is to turn the ball over..
wow Mount Union Defense held Cortland to 0 yds rushing and 200 yds passing.
Here’s to the semis!! Both games will be good….that UWW-UMHB game should be quite a game….those teams are so familiar with each other….
Another Wheaton TD. 45-21 (xtra pt pending)
I will be moving on to some women’s basketball… Thanks for the updates.
Big game in the ASC… McMurry women and UT-Tyler women (watch out for those lady Patriots…they may be the best in the ASC-East.)
GO CRU!
🙂
Wartburg with a 57-yard score and it’s 20-17.
Wow..I know UMHB would like another shot at UWW, but Wartburg is welcome to come to Belton as well.
It’s a final in Franklin
Wheaton 45 Franklin 28.
Wheaton runs the ball for 220 yds and over 5 yds per carry. That is the story
UWW radio makes the point that Wartburg is comfortable playing from behind … and this seems similar to the Willamette game for them.
Thoughts?
Wind an issue there too, or at least the strategy of who’s gonna have it at their backs in the 4th
Sack by Wartburg….Listening to UMHB game watching the UWW-Wartburg game. Gotta love D3 Football!!!
UMHB holds on defense..ball goes to UMHB..UMHB 1st and ten at the five

It’s been argued before that for UMHB to pass the ball is to call the dogs off….they’re averaging 10 yds a carry….Tucker also didn’t carry the ball in the first half after the first six minutes
Wartburg looks very comfortable.
