ESPN's list...

145. 2012 Mount Union (15-0) Titles: NCAA Division III Coach: Larry Kehres Led by: QB Kevin Burke, WR Jasper Collins, S Nick Driskill What to know: The last of Kehres' 27 Purple Raiders teams, 11 of which won D-III national titles, might have been his greatest. Mount Union outscored its opponents by an average of 44 points per game, including six consecutive shutouts. The Purple Raiders averaged 55 points in five playoff games. Hmm. And 1999 Virginia Tech is not on the list? Was 2012 Mount Union a greater threat to 1999 Florida State?

This past Spring, perhaps the wildest Big Dance overall illustrated this

I believe the highest seeded team in the Final Four, was a 4 Seed. In other words, a team ranked 13th-16th by the Selection Committee. Lots of upsets at the top. Brackets crashing everywhere. That does not mean the Committee got it all wrong. "The favorite doesn't always win... but it pays to bet that way!"

From a comment on Herbie's X (Twitter) post... "Remind me again why you had Bama in and FSU out on 11/14 and 11/18 before Jordan Travis was hurt? Why did you continue to push the narrative for the next 3 weeks? I haven’t heard that explanation yet." And I bet there will be no explanation forthcoming.

"King" Humph. I never voted for him!

I guess it was some strange woman, lying in a pool, that gave him the Sword of ExFootballCoachFrankBeamer. It's no basis for government!

What a day yesterday, for three High Schools in the general area...

State Champions: Division 1 - Galax wins 7-6, on a last second 42 yard Field Goal, by a Freshman. The ball hit the crossbar, and flopped over. You have probably done the math already... yep. Galax was trailing 6-4. Two Safeties! The Essex Trojans scored an early TD to take a 6-0 lead, but the conversion failed. Win ugly if you have to, but, as Al Davis said... "Just WIN, baby!" Congratulations, Galax Maroon Tide! Division 2 - The Radford Bobcats win their first State Championship since 1972 and 1971. They completed a perfect season beating the Riverheads Gladiators, playing their first season in Division 2 after winning the last 7 (IIRC) Division 1 Championships, by a score of 39-21. Congratulations, Radford and Will Stewart! Division 3 - The Liberty Christian Bulldogs also wrapped up an undefeated campaign, downing the Lafayette Rams 28-14, after getting off to a 21-0 lead. Congrats, Liberty! Runner Up: Division 4 - In something of a shock, the Salem Spartans did NOT win the State Championship this year! They had trailed almost the whole game, but tied it very late with a TD and a 2 point conversion. Then, the unthinkable happens. The Phoebus Phantoms had the ball at their own 14, with seconds left in Regulation, and OT almost certain. Instead, they hit a bomb down the middle of the field, the receiver escaped a lone tackle attempt, and headed for the endzone, scoring with one second left for a 21-14 win, and a third straight State Championship for Phoebus! Salem finished with only two losses. The first loss, was their season opener at home against... Liberty Christian, by a score of... 21-14. A year of depressing bookend losses to State Champions, for a school with double digit Championships, starting in 1996. ** Edited by No_Limit_Hokie at 12/10/2023, 3:45:41 PM

I wish I could give this more Likes...

A hard fought game, decided at the end, by inches. May our Military always do the right thing!
