Scott, it was a pleasure working with you during the past two season and exchanging emails on the upcoming games. You will be sorely missed. I enjoyed how we talked at each other all for the love of our teams in our conference. You covered my alma mater UNC Pembroke and I love how you gave them much respect. We will miss you Scott, may you rest in peace.
What a year it was for MIAA football in 2011. While it sure ended on a high note, with Pittsburg State winning the national championship, the year certainly saw its peaks and valleys. As MIAA fans, we dealt with the loss of a program, the loss of a legend, the loss of his successor, a player of the year candidate heading to prison and countless other 'bad' or 'sad' stories.

Wayne State was leading 14-13 in the second quarter.

It wasn't all Mickey's fault, the O just looked tight and out of ...

Well, the run for the Warriors continues. Despite not winning the turnover margin for the first time during the playoffs, Wayne managed to out-physical another opponent on its way to a 21-14 win at Winston-Salem. As we discussed last week, WSSU was a solid opponent but it's hard to know for sure just how much so given SR1's lack of success when getting to this stage of the post-season.
