Seventh straight year it's been these two teams in the title game, each has won three of previous six with Whitewater winning the last two and 44 straight games overall. These always seem to be really played game between these two, should be an exciting game.

I knew two QBs from Mount Union, each of which threw to Pierre Garcon.  It's an amazing level of dominance to play 7 straight times for a NC.  Rediculis.

Both these teams are very solid in DIII. I went to grad school at Averett University in Viginia and Mount Union beat us 75-7 a few years back. They could have easily put up triple digits had the dogs not been called off.

For those who do not know, Mount Union is notorious for offering extra financial aide to get certain "athletic students" which is generally frowned upon in DIII but not illegal. And W-Whitewater is part of the same University of Wisconsin system as all other state schools and receives extra aide and funding many other DIII schools do not get. Not bitter, just puts the recent dominance into a little perspective.
