These 2 played each other for the National Championship last year with Mt. Union winning 12-0.

The last D3 National Championship not to involve Mt Union or UMHB was 1999 when Pacific Lutheran beat Rowan.

Seriously?

20 years?

 

[basement bias]

Not looking good right now. C'mon Mt Union.

Yeah, it was 25 years ago yesterday Mt. U won their first... and 13 since. It was and is the most dominance I've ever seen from a football program.

 

[KnightAndDay]

Defending champs fall. Hopefully a similar fate awaits Alabama & N. Dakota St.

Those last 2 plays fall into the WTH are you thinking category. RUN out the clock.

Wisconsin Whitewater has been in more title games than UMHB no? Wasn’t it like 9 straight title games between them and Mount Union?

Yes... it was becoming the Annual Stagg Bowl, for sure.

 

[CouchOnFire]

I gotta say, Mt. U plays MUCH better is crappy weather. Best game weather at the Stagg in a long, long time, lol!

 

[Kace-1]

UMHB did what they could to give UMU another chance and UMU was all, "Na man's it's cool."

My dad and I use to love watching the Stagg Bowl every year and see if it was Wisconsin Whitewater or Mount Union taking home the crown. Saying the last title game not involving UMHB and Mount Union is like saying, there is a game between Alabama and Furman and between the two teams they have a combined total of 17 division 1 FBS titles.

It's worth noting, because those rare years where Mt. Union wasn't involved is when UMHB would show up. And it makes for a fun bit of trivia.

Mount Union has been in 16 of the past 18 years. I don’t care what level, that is freaking impressive.
