Over ten years ago I put this website online. It was born from my passion and love for Mount Union football. At the time there was a strong need for more information online about the past, present and future of the most successful college football program of our time.
Since that day my love for the Purple Raiders has grown ten-fold. But the need for this site has not been as great over the years due to the increased availability of information from the college based website at the University of Mount Union.
With the introduction of the new Mount Union athletic website on August 1st, and after much thinking and soul searching on my part, I have come to the decision that the time has come to end this site's run.
Simply put, I have felt over the past couple of years that I have not added anything "new" for Raider fans, but rather, have just duplicated what was already out there. This is never more true than today.
So its with a bit of sadness, but great pride, that this will be my last update on this website. Thanks for the great times and all the great comments along the way!
I will continue to be a part of Mount Union football as the radio voice of the Raiders and my love for the Purple & White will never die.
I hope you can understand my decision. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all the support. The best thing I have gained from this website is all the great friendships I've developed. Thank you all!
