White Christmas

White Christmas on Mt. Ashland

For our Christmas walk this year we went to Jacksonville and pretty much walked in the dark. Last year, when I took this photo, we were up on Mt. Ashland under blue skies and had an extraordinary sunset.

Raiders end up #3 on Massey and #4 with coaches

The kick is up...

@SOURaiders @SOU_Football @bangout_marcuss

But let’s face it, if the Raiders had home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, like Reinhardt and St. Francis (who were also undefeated through the quarterfinals without having to win a playoff game on the road like SOU did), Southern Oregon would have gone to Daytona again and ended up in the top two. The Raiders finished in the top five, for the fourth time in five years.

P.S. Tanner Trosin would have won NAIA Player of the Year had the Raiders gone to Daytona. He was first-team All-American, whereas the eventual player of the year was the second-team All-American QB.

P.S. #2 Massey had seven Frontier Conference teams in its final top 25. The coaches? Just SOU.

Happy birthday, Michael Roots!

The silver lining

Ken White Field at Reinhardt University Stadium

Saturday’s loss was painful, but there is a silver lining. Due to the NAIA’s odd ranking system, which rewards prior season record more than current season wins against strong opponents, SOU will likely begin 2018 with a #3 or #4 ranking. In 2017 it took an undefeated season in the toughest conference just to get to #5. Had the Raiders started 2017 at #3 or #4 they would have probably ended up at #2 and received home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
