Mount Union has scheduled a home and home
series with Wis-Oshkosh from the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference to open the 2010 and 2011 football seasons.
The Raiders will
travel to Oshkosh, WI on September 11th, 2010, while
the Titans visit Alliance on September 10th, 2011.
The season will start a week later, eliminating the bye week
following the first game the Purple & White have
enjoyed since 2000 due to conflicts with the WIAC
schedule.
Mount Union has faced
WIAC member Wis-Whitewater in each of the last four
Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowls, winning three, including
last season's meeting, 31-26.
You can see the
Purple Raiders' future schedules through the 2013 season

everyone for all the nice comments and support over that time. Who
would have thought that at that time there were four national championships
and now there are ten?
