My alma mater won something

I guess UMM (i.e., the University of Minnesota, Morris [aka "affordable Ivy"]) won the UMAC (Upper Midwest Athletic Conference) football championship in late October. I guess I'm just finding out about it now because: (1) I'm not terribly interested in Cougar gridiron action (they were horrendous during my matriculation); and (2) the publicity monstrosity that is UMM is slow in getting the news out.

I suppose congratulations are in order, but I can't get too excited when their competition consists of:

• a Presbyterian school in Nowheresville, Illinois;
• a college for followers of Mary Baker Eddy that has a campus in St. Louis and one in -- surprise, surprise -- in Nowheresville, Illinois;
• a nondenominational school in Salt Lake City;
• a Baptist Bible college in small-town Wisconsin
• an Assemblies of God college in Ellendale, North Dakota (I could've said "Nowheresville, North Dakota," but that would've been redundant); and
• Rockford College, whose claim to fame is that Jane Addams (of Hull House) graduated from there 125 years ago.

Not exactly the SEC - or even the MAC.

Granted, UMM ain't the Ohio State University, but at least it's affiliated with a major university.
