Lopers mules game

[NW Normal]

Any reasonable person that has ever cared about a family member realizes Blake and Brady will be rooting for their little brother.

I'm sure that they will be rooting for their little brother; yet, I wonder if they will use the sideline pass that former Bearcat players receive or sit in the stands in the northeast corner with the Mules fans? Bearcat fans better pack the house. Biggest FB game in the MIAA this season! Will the Mules take all the marbles, or will they have to share them with Northwest?

Bolles is more of a smart/complete player than a gunslinger.

True, but 'gunslinger' sounds cool. The Ft Hays kid is probably more the gunslinger type

There will be mixed feelings for the Bolles clan, but as they say 'blood is thicker than water' (or beer) so the entire Bolles clan will be wearing red & black next Saturday. The Mules, led by Bolles 3.0 (the central gunslinger) will rule the day.

I bet you Bolles 1.0 and Bolles 2.0 will be there too.

Plenty of high drama when Bolles 3.0 comes to Maryville.

Good stuff Mule Man, but you hardly ever post? Some of the newer Mules posters (last 5 years)) may not be old enough to have had season tickets for 30 years. Your analysis of the Mules seems spot on and I hope you're right that the Mules still have not peaked yet......Maryville will be the time to start bringing the Mules 'A' game for 4 quarters. This is set up perfect for Bolles 3.0 (the Central gunslinger) to win his final conference game at the place where his brothers had so much success wearing the green. Maybe a little spooky for Bearcat fans.....?

It is actually kind of comical all the people that are now coming out of the woodpiles talking about "our Mules". Wonder where they have been the last 10 years. I have had my season tickets for the past 30 years. The guys are doing a lot of things right...and as scary (or stupid) as this may sound...not sure we have seen a "complete game" yet. I am sure someone will correct me...just not sure any come to mind against quality teams. At MoWest...we played a complete first half...then disappeared in the second to hold on OT to win. In the game against Hays...Zach Davidson could be the season MVP with his bold call to fake punt...that 22 yard scamper turned that game and maybe the season. At MoSo...we played terrible D in the first half, but the O was on fire (and the D was better too) in the second half. At Emporia...we played just well enough to win. But last week was a hell of a comeback. It would be something special if the Mules are able to cap the season off with a huge victory next week up north. Don't get me wrong...it has been an exciting season...just not sure we have peaked yet.

There is a true leader on this team, Bolles, and it shows. Last time a mule team was like this was 2010 in Boda's first year with another true leader, CZ. Crazy comeback against UNO and a couple of other close games. Same mojo and feel as 2010 IMO here in the 'Burg. Exciting times indeed.

Nice win by the Mules. Many of your teams in the past would have lost that game.

Mules have won several of these this year.

to be honest, it reminded me of some nw games vs the mules. this time the mules willed the finish. PSR is right, it wasn't long ago, the mules would have folded in that game. it was a solid win, one they had to fight for.

Reminded me of the Arrowhead game a couple of years ago... a game NW really had no business winning. How do you get beat with a bomb in that situation? Obviously it happens. Just a brutal way to lose a game... lining up to kick the winning FG, you're at worst thinking OT, knowing that your kicker has already missed 2 XPs, but still hopeful because you're in position to win. Even after the block, you have to feel pretty good about OT, but nope... that's tough.

[Alfred33]

Never been to Maryville, I hope NW wins next week and the place is packed for the MIAA finale. Should be a great atmosphere, hope the NW offense brings their B game.

We'd probably be thrilled to see our B game show up on offense. It's the C, D, and F that sometimes has found it's way to the field we need to avoid!

[Predatory Primates]

Crazy crazy ending to a game. Was fun to watch. Loper fans have to be absolutely crushed.

[Greenman]

You are correct and I thought the Mules were toast being down by 10 points with 5 minutes to play. Not to mention, trying to get the ball back from UNK's ball control offense. But, the Mules have lived on the edge a few times this season and keep finding different ways to win. It's exciting, but it makes me nervous as we approach the post season. The Mules definitely have their mojo working and luck on their side, but I would like to see the Mules take control earlier in the game..
