1) Mercer is 5-1 (.833) in their 6 most recent 1-score games. 2) Blowing that lead was NOT good, but it did almost seem the Bears were 'goofing around' vs. the Govs - going for it early on 4th & 2 from their own 23 (they made it). Throwing a 'Hail Mary' at the end of the half - up 24-6, instead...

So...some carpetbagger's kid comes to Mercer in the Fall of 2015 and Mom/Dad seeks out & finds a Mercer FanBoard on the interwebs.

Man, the poor SoCon is an absolute SHELL of it's former self....so sad to see... You are so right. No way the SoCon will EVER recover from losing these Members.
