Missouri Valley OOC In-Review

September 25, 2018September 25, 2018 Scott Lawson

TweetMissouri Valley Conference football games begin this coming weekend, so I figure this is a good time to do a quick review of what happened during the out-of-conference (OOC) games for each team. WIth the exception of South Dakota State, who had their game against Iowa State cancelled due to weather, everyone in the conference has played three games. For... Read More

MVFC – Playoffs Week 2 in Review

December 4, 2017 Scott Lawson

TweetAnother round of playoffs and two more MVFC see their seasons come to a close. Neither are huge surprises for the most part…one game involved two MVFC teams and somebody has to lose there, and the other was a team that barely made it past the first round but made it a competitive game with a seeded team. Northern Iowa... Read More

MVFC – Playoffs Round 2 Preview

December 1, 2017 Scott Lawson

TweetWeek 2 of playoff football…time for the “big boys” to see what they can bring. Frequent championship contenders like North Dakota State, James Madison, Jacksonville State, and Sam Houston State get to test themselves against the unseeded teams who survived (or in some cases, dominated) the first round. Since I handle pretty much just the MVFC games, I’ll hit up... Read More

MVFC – Playoffs First Round in Review

November 28, 2017 Scott Lawson

TweetSorry about the lateness of this review article…holiday travel and illness conspired against me this week. The one good thing about this going out a bit later though is that I am able to post info about the All-Conference teams that was released on Monday. The full MVFC All-Conference team is available here, with USD QB Chris Streveler winning the... Read More

MVFC – Playoffs Round 1 Preview

November 21, 2017November 21, 2017 Scott Lawson

TweetIt’s playoff time…er…well, for half of the conference anyway. The other half…they get to spend a bit more time with their families this Thanksgiving break. Since two of the MVFC teams are seeds and 3 are at-large teams, we’ve got 3 games in the first round involving MVFC teams. Here’s the full playoff bracket if you’d like to see what... Read More

MVFC – Week 12 in Review

November 20, 2017November 19, 2017 Scott Lawson

TweetAnd here we are again once more…another football season has come and gone (well…regular season, anyway). I’d say that it seems like it goes faster every year, but really…isn’t that just life? I plan on going into each team a little more in-depth a little later on into the postseason; maybe do a brief “year in review” of each team,... Read More

MVFC – Week 12 Preview

November 17, 2017November 17, 2017 Scott Lawson

TweetThis is it folks. The final weekend of the regular season. Pretty much regardless of what happens, NDSU and SDSU will be in the playoffs and YSU, SIU, MSU, and INSU will not. For UNI, USD, WIU, and ILSU, it’s likely most of them will be, but there are some crazy scenarios that could play out that could exclude some... Read More

MVFC – Week 11 in Review

November 13, 2017November 14, 2017 Scott Lawson

TweetThis week went down pretty much as expected, for the most part, without any real upsets. A few teams somewhat “outperformed” expectations, but the end results this week aren’t really a huge surprise. Let’s take a look at conference standings, where teams are in relation to a possible playoff spot or if that’s out of the picture for them. School... Read More

MVFC – Week 11 Preview

November 10, 2017November 9, 2017 Scott Lawson

TweetWeek 11 in the FCS season…the penultimate weekend for all but 24 teams. Up to 6 MVFC teams could theoretically be playing after Thanksgiving. I don’t believe any conference has ever had 6 teams in the playoffs before, so that seems pretty unlikely, but stranger things have happened. Two of the games involve matchups of two teams that are in... Read More

MVFC – Week 10 in Review

November 6, 2017November 5, 2017 Scott Lawson

TweetBum…bum…bum…another one bites the dust. Another Saturday of MVFC football is in the books and another team is effectively eliminated from playoff contention. Let’s take a look at conference standings, where teams are in relation to being set up for a playoff spot or if they’re already out of the picture. School Overall Conference Remaining Games North Dakota State 8-1... Read More
