MVFC – Week 12 Preview

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 …

MVFC – Week 11 in Review

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 …

MVFC – Week 11 Preview

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 …

MVFC – Week 10 in Review

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.

MVFC – Week 10 Preview

TweetNovember…the time when the FCS regular season winds down to a close and for all but 24 teams, coaches and players focus on the off-season…recruiting, scheduling, spending quality time in the weight room.

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. I’ll list the team, then overall record, conference …

MVFC – Week 9 Preview

TweetAnd then there were four…weeks left in the season, that is. As is often the case this time of year, nearly every game looks like it could have a huge impact in deciding who ends up playing after Thanksgiving and who gets to sit at home and eat turkey, dreaming about next year. There’s only …

MVFC – Week 8 in Review

TweetAnother week of games, and a couple more upsets. Seems like this is often the way it goes…a bunch of tough teams able to grind out wins against higher-ranked opponents. First up though, let’s take a look at conference standings, where teams are in relation to being set up for a playoff spot or if …

MVFC – Week 8 Preview

TweetI apologize for being a little later than usual with my weekly preview post. In addition to being a fan of MVFC football, I’m also a Chicago Cubs fan, so my evening writing sessions have been somewhat constrained by watching Cubs games. In case you weren’t aware though, that won’t be a problem for me …

MVFC – Week 7 in Review

TweetWeek 7 in the books and another interesting week in the MVFC. A couple of big “upsets”, a close game delayed by weather, and a “Game of the Week” that lived up to it’s billing, going to an exciting overtime finish. First up though, let’s take a look at conference standings, where teams are in …
