ATN Podcast: Do we re-evaluate Mount Union?

Posted on by

A handful of voters switched their No. 1 vote this week, giving UW-Whitewater six nods for the top spot compared to Mount Union’s 19. But what do we make of Mount Union’s close win at Capital? What does history tell us about past Purple Raider teams?

Keith McMillan and Pat Coleman discuss that and more in this week’s Around the Nation podcast.

Game Day: Fall, for sure

Posted on by

I mean, in your part of the country anyway, I’m sure it’s fall. But here in Minneapolis I woke up to snow on the ground. Not enough to last the day or affect any games around here, probably, but just a reminder that Oct. 10 is … yeah, way, way too early for snow.

I’ll be watching Concordia-Moorhead (Division III team No. 120 on my list of whom I’ve seen) at No. 15 St. Thomas, basically as prep for next week’s Game of the Week broadcast of the St. Thomas-St. John’s game. Ryan Tipps is at the Emory & Henry/Hampden-Sydney game, while Gordon Mann is at FDU-Florham at Delaware Valley. The short trip is my deal with the folks at home. New rule in the Coleman house: If I take a plane one weekend, I stay home or stay in the Twin Cities the next weekend. Keeps the peace.

I still have a few Minnesota schools I haven’t seen yet and will get to those eventually. Hamline will be the only MIAC team I haven’t seen, then throw in a bunch of stadiums I’ve never seen a game at: Hamline, Carleton, Concordia, Crown … pretty much you name it.

Looking at this week’s schedule on paper has me thinking not at all about last week, where there weren’t a lot of games where we could foresee upsets. We have two games between Top 25 teams (No. 1 Mount Union at No. 21 Capital, No. 22 Redlands at No. 24 Occidental), and then UW-Whitewater, Mary Hardin-Baylor, Wheaton, Linfield, Central, Case Western Reserve, Monmouth, Otterbein, St. Thomas, Cortland State and Ithaca are each playing teams where you could conceivably pick them to lose.

Stick around, watch, listen, follow live stats. The wireless connection at St. Thomas wasn’t great the last time I was there but we’ll see. I’ll be on Twitter at least from my phone, hopefully blogging.

Game Day: A double homecoming

Posted on by

That’s what I have today, anyway: homecoming at Allegheny and at Mount Union. I will throw it open now. What’s up today?

We’ve got Keith McMillan at Frostburg State-Wesley, Gordon Mann at Del Val-Leb Val and Jason Bowen at East Texas Baptist-McMurry and Mary Hardin-Baylor/Hardin-Simmons.

Meanwhile, an overcast day here at Allegheny, temperature in the low- to mid-60’s, a little wind. No swamp here anymore, just artificial turf.

Color guy for Allegheny just proclaimed this game against Wabash as “clearly the two best teams in the conference here today.” Not sure I agree but eventually we’ll find out.
