This Saturday’s NAIA playoff game will begin at 4 p.m.
Although it’s too early to know exactly what the weather will be, the current forecast is for a 90% chance of rain and lows in the 30s. My one pair of thermals weren’t enough by the end of last Saturday’s 3 p.m. game. I’m going to have to double down this Saturday.

#9 MidAmerica Nazarene University from Kansas will be traveling to Southern Oregon next weekend (11/22/14) for the first round of the NAIA football playoffs. A quick look at their schedule shows they have only played one decent team en route to their 9-1 record. They beat Missouri Valley at home by 3 points. They lost to a sub-.500 team (Central Methodist) on the road last month.
The Raiders will need to rebound from this past weekend, but they should be heavy favorites going into this important game.

Although the results of yesterday’s game didn’t go according to plan, the Raiders did end up (barely) in the top eight in the final rankings which should give them a home game in the first round of the NAIA playoffs.

Note that today’s game time has been changed. The game will start at 3 p.m. and end under the lights. Temperatures could be in the 30s by the end of the game so plan accordingly.

Eastern may look like a foe that the Raiders don’t have much to worry about, given their 3 losses, but they have one of the most difficult schedules in the NAIA. They are 5-3 against ranked teams. Give them an easy schedule like #1 Morningside (who has yet to face a ranked team), #3 Grand View (3-1 against ranked teams), or #5 Georgetown (1-1 against ranked teams), and they would likely be one of the top five teams in the country.
This will be a good one. The weather forecast isn’t great so be sure to get there early to sit under cover just in case.

The regular season will be wrapped up this Saturday at 1 p.m. at Raider Stadium against 16th-ranked Eastern Oregon. A home game or two should come to Ashland in the NAIA playoffs, but apparently there are no guarantees even for teams in the top four of the rankings.
