Mount Union....division 3 Champs

Featured Replies

Watched the game (Stagg Bowl- Division III Championship game) last night.

It was Mount Union's 16th time to the championship game in the last 20 years. They have won 11 championships. They have been to the last 8 Stagg Bowls.

Their head coach has a record of 332-24-3 in 27 seasons....they average less than one loss PER YEAR under his guidance.

That is just mind boggling.

Anyone else enjoy the game?

Whats even more amazing is that the coach has stayed for 27 seasons. In this day of the "no real contract obligation" college ranks, a coach of such tenure should be commended.

It has long been an argument in Ohio that Union should be moved up a division to a D2 level. they are pretty good :)

They have been the class of D3 for some time, They do get a superior athlete now and again...but I don't they are loaded with athletes...just guys who love to play football. For several years in the 90's, they were simply better than everyone else. Not so in the 2000's, especially in the playoffs. Several other teams have become much more competitive with them... Wisconsin-Whitewater had even won 4 of the last 5 against Mount Union in the Stagg Bowl...which I say is just blasphemy!

I did find it amazing they won the semifinal game against Mary-Hardin Baylor even after turning the ball over five times.

I don't think they win because they have so many more better football players, I think they win because of their coach, and they believe they will win because he is there.
