November 16, 2018November 16, 2018 Kevin Hottle

TweetIs there another 12 week span during the course of the year that goes by as fast as football season? It’s hard to believe but as Jim Morrison once said “This is the End; My only Friend, The End”. Well, it’s the end for everyone not named Colgate. Following their regular season finale against Army, the Raiders can focus on... Read More

MVFC Week 12 Preview

November 16, 2018November 16, 2018 Scott Lawson

TweetAnd here we are, already to the end of the regular season, or as Bison fans call it…the ¾ mark. At this point, it’s looking quite likely that the MVFC will only get 3 teams into the playoffs…the fewest since 2013 when only 2 teams made it in.

AGS Poll: Week 11 Top 25 Results

November 12, 2018November 12, 2018 Tim

TweetWell, if you prefer the status quo week 11 was not for you with 8 teams previously ranked in the AGS top 25 (and the top 4 in the ORV) losing and all 8 were to teams ranked below them or not at all. Despite the churn below them North Dakota State remained the unanimous #1 team. They were followed... Read More

Patriot League Week 11: Finding Reasons To Fight To The Finish

November 9, 2018November 9, 2018 Kevin Hottle

TweetWith the regular season’s penultimate weekend upon us there’s two intriguing storylines worth following. The first one is clearly Colgate’s undefeated season to this point.

Quite a few things could be decided this weekend, depending on how the games play out, but it’s also entirely possible that maybe only 1... Read More
