Sounds like Mavs will be going to Houghton for a sport other than men's hockey.

I can hear the beap-beap-beap of the bus backing into the playoffs.

I haven't seen the projections yet- I heard that Davenport and UMD lost.

Fun day at the Bob, although a tad windy and cold. USF came back in the 4th quarter and beat Concordia 27-20. Concordia looks like a team heading in the right direction under the new coach. Their QB is solid.

[MSU ALUM]

Hoping MSU Mavs can get back on track if they make the playoffs. Going for it on 4th and three on their first possession of the game in their own territory turned out to be a grave mistake, and gave Moorhead a short field to make their first TD. At least they did tie for the conference title.

Yes, high risk, low reward. Don't give the opponent ammunition early the game for no reason.

Moorhead did two early successful onside kicks. I don't think that I've seen that before.

Was unreal just how well both were executed. Neither ended up leading to points, but even just playing keep away with the Mavs offense was beneficial.

The lack of emphasis on the Mav running game was disappointing for the Mavs. Henderson's first carry was midway through the third quarter. Moorhead use the short passing game, made loooooooooong drives, ate up the clock, and as you said kept the ball away from the Mavs who usually wore down opponents by the second half. Mavs threw too many bombs, had their defense get worn out. I haven't looked up time of possession but it had to be one sided.

I think augustana is going to tech

Inkblot thinks the Mavs will. Well, as long as MSU and Augie don't play each other in the first round. In my condition I doubt if I'd make the 7 1/2 hour trip if they do. I'd like to see a game at Tech but.......

[Gliac_fan10]

I would agree with Inkblot. Mankato at Tech, Augie at Findlay.

Did someone spike the lakes in Minnesota with some goofy stuff before the weekend started?

UMD losing to Minot State? After 13 straight wins over the Beavers, Duluth loses to Minot for what looks to be the first time ever.

Moorhead beating Mankato? I guess that shouldn't be as big a shock since the Dragons slayed the Mavs last year in Mankato, but that's not a good look for the Mavs going into the playoffs.

Loved going to Houghton, but that was Labor Day Weekend so the weather was much nicer

Yup - first ever for the Red Beavers. Might be their biggest DII win in history - certainly top three at the least.

They needed a statement win too - they've dropped so many games by a score or two the last three seasons.
