Watching #30 boom punts out of the end zone before the 2nd half - I assume that is our punter of the future? He was hitting them with a nice tight spiral about 50 every time! Who is this kid?
? # 2 - In doing some searches, I only find the following dates since 1970 when 11/14 fell on a Saturday:
11/14/81 (The Sonny era......already over or on the way to being over?)
11/14/87 (I-AA finalists - surely we would've been home that date?)
11/14/92** (Probably, since the I-AA playoffs would have been underway)
11/14/98 (11-1 season, were we home or away on the 14th?)
11/14/2009 (The Snyder era was coming to a close - could that have been the debacle with ECU in Htgn?)
11/14/2015
and.....
11/14/2020
If anyone has access to our old schedules, I would be curious to know if MU has had a home football game in
1987, 92 (1st Natl championship must've been on 12/05??), 98 or 2009? If not, then this would be the 1st home game in 45 years where we have played a home contest on the anniversary....appreciate the confirm 1 way or another...
And did you know, that the reason that I also listed a future date is because our AD worked out the 1-1 w/
ECU to coincide with the 50th anniversary of The Crash? We will be playing the Pirates on the same piece of earth on the same date and the same time as the 1970 squad 50 years to the day before......
THAT will be a tough ticket to get!!
Go HERD !!!!
