Better late than never, right?

So, what's the point of a radar image on a football blog? That weather was the cause of a 4-hour delay during the contest between WV State and Urbana University.

The score does not reflect just how close and competitive this game truly was. The Golden Eagles led the Rams 14-3 halfway through the 2^ndrd quarter, followed by a 52-yard punt that pinned UC at their own 16-yard line in the 4^thNotre Dame @ UVA-Wise

Outside of Fairmont State, there were lots of close games in week 2. The MEC is going to get real interesting as the season continues.

It's obvious Shepherd's defense isn't as stout as last year, considering the d line losses that is not surprising & is going to make it much tougher to go far into the playoffs if they even make it that far. Hoping for the best!

Establishing a rushing attack (usually a staple of Shepherd's offense) is going to be crucial if they want to go undefeated during the regular season and threaten to return to KC if they make the playoffs.

The MEC is going to get real interesting as the season continues.

Admittedly it's still early in the season, and my following statement may be a bit premature. But I believe what we are seeing is the development of some serious parity in the conference.

Of course some teams will have a few years of success followed be years of awfulness. Regardless, it's going to exciting to continue watching any development as it unfolds.
