Stagg Bowl: Jordan Roberts finds balance in faith and football
Tonight, the Mount Union Purple Raiders face off against St. Thomas for DIII supremacy. The Stagg Bowl kickoff — slated for 7 PM on ESPNU — features the nation’s two best offenses as MU and STU both have averaged over 50 points a game this season.
Both teams have done it behind balance. In particular, St. Thomas boasts the fifth best total offense (529.4 yards per game) behind the perfect blend of passing (271.4 yards a game) and rushing (258.1).
Jordan Roberts — the Tommies star running back — has been the epitome of that balance.

The WN Fantasy Football Report: Semi-finals start em and sit em
Two more weeks of fantasy football are left. Hard to believe it is almost all said and done, huh?
If you have gotten this far you are either lucky, or a good jigsaw puzzler. The injury bug has been unreal, so there is no two ways around it. You either avoided the plague or you became a good repair man, plugging away a new player each week.
So, who’s left standing?
The Stagg Bowl Preview: on the road with Wayniac Nation
Dunton has been filling in the past two mornings, helping out with the early thoughts of the day. That’s because I am off covering one of my favorite events of the year: The Stagg Bowl.
The Reign of the MLB Hit King: Pete Rose still banned
The past few days, you have read and heard just about everyone who has an opinion say what they have to say about Pete Rose. Sentiment has surely changed in the public eyes these days, as more people seemingly feel he should be in the Hall of Fame now… at least more than used to think that way.
You hear the same reasons that people dislike Rose. He gambled. He cheated the game. He lied. He shows no remorse. Well, our guy Dunton is back with an interesting take on why he wants Charlie Hustle to stay out of Cooperstown. That reason? Mr. Kranz. Confused? Well then take a read.
Peyton and Tiger… It’s so hard to say goodbye
As you are reading this, I am already on the road. I am heading back to Salem, Virginia to cover — as I did last year — the Stagg Bowl. It is the crowning achievement in NCAA DIII football, and really one of the more fun games of the year. It’s on ESPN U Friday night at 7 PM if you don’t believe me. Ever hear of Friday Night Lights? Well, that wasn’t about this, but hey, it’s Friday night, and there will be plenty of lights.
Anyway, our old friend Dunton stepped in and agreed to help keep the morning thoughts rolling, because typing is rather difficult on a six hour road trip. Today he looks at the current state of two all time greats.
The 1995 Atlanta Braves: the most under appreciated MLB champion?
Can you believe that it was 20 years ago that the Atlanta Braves won their World Series against the Cleveland Indians? 20 years. The Braves these days have become more known for what they are trading away than what they have on their big league roster, but that ’95 team? That was one for the ages. I feel like it doesn’t get its just due and has become one of the great forgotten champions.
The Law Dog’s Top 10 Sports Cameos of All Time
The Law Dog has brought a new element to Wayniac Nation that I absolutely love. The comic relief of his Top Ten lists are second to none. After the overwhelming success of the Top 10 Reasons to Hate the Patriots and Top 5 Reasons it’s Hard to be a Philly Fan, he is now a permanent fixture. I hope you enjoy his latest!
The Atlanta Falcons: What is wrong with this team?!
It’s been pretty bad the past two months if you are a Falcons fan. As a lifelong Houston Texans fan, I know a thing or two about bad football, and what the Falcons are playing is worse than that. Yesterday defined not just a new low of 2015, but quite possibly the entire Matt Ryan era. So what they heck is wrong with these guys?
