MVFC: Week 9 Preview

TweetI can’t believe we’re already 9 weeks into the season. After Saturday, most teams in the conference will have only 3 games left in the regular season (only 2 for the ISU’s). Teams have played 4 or 5 conference games and are really starting to separate themselves in the conference standings (conference record, then overall …

MVFC: Week 8 Review

TweetWell, ok then. This was an interesting week. There were a few fairly expected results, one that was a bit of a larger margin than most were expecting, and then one game that was a surprise blowout. To see what I mean, let’s start with the scores: #37T Missouri State – 7 #35T Northern Iowa …

MVFC: Week 8 Preview

TweetA weekend of stupidly close games and we are inching ever closer to deciding who wins the conference, who’s making themselves known to the playoff committee for at-large bids, and if anyone appears to be taking over Missouri State’s former “home” at the bottom of the conference standings.

MVFC: Week 5 Preview

Tweet(in my best John Facenda voice…that’s the NFL Films guy) Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Missouri Valley Football Conference, where every Saturday is a battle. It doesn’t matter what the rankings are; it doesn’t matter if you’re the 5-time defending national champions or a team that only won one game last year, because in …

MVFC: Week 4 Review

TweetMaybe it’s just me, but this seemed like a weird weekend in the MVFC. There were 2 ½ games played this weekend, with two potentially considered “upsets” (depending on your own personal ranking system). Also, just for clarification, since only 4 of the 10 teams in the conference were in action this week, it was …
