Anyone else have a stake in the D3 title game?

University of Wisconsin-Whitewater vs. Mount Union Saturday. It's been the same two teams the previous two years, also.

Mount Union beat Whitewater in the title game in 2005 and '06.

OK, admission time: I'm a Whitewater alumnus, but don't hold much hope as Mount Union appears to be too good for the rest of the D3 field. Mount Union won its semifinal game, 62-14,

Anyone else have an interest in this game?

 

Yes. I want it to move along quickly and end in regulation. I'm covering it.

 

D3 grad, lots of interest in it. People are saying it might be the best Mount team, which is saying something considering they've won 9 titles. I think Whitewater's got a chance, although it seems they were stronger the last couple of years when they couldn't beat Mount.

 

Here's a tidbit you can work into your gamer (or not): John Belushi attended Whitewater.

 

Yes, I am laying the 21 points.

 

That made me laugh very hard.

 

Sorry, unless he was in the two-deep he isn't getting into my story. ;D

 

It was 57 and sunny here today. Beautiful day.

Saturday forecast: 30s with rain, sleet and snow, in no particular order.

Joy.

 

Whitewater had the better team -- better than Mount in 2005 -- but pissed the game away.

Mount Union was clearly better last year.

Mount Union is clearly better this year, though Whitewater has a different look on offense (mobile QB) and an O-coordinator who played at (briefly) and graduated from Mount Union.

 

That'd be some fucking notebook lede though.

 

I think UWW will give MUC a run, but in the end the Purple Raiders will win for the THIRD YEAR IN A ROW.

Hey, at least it's a playoff.
