Championship Win



After losing in the title game to Mt. Union in two consecutive years, Wisconsin-Whitewater defensive lineman, Chris Kneeland (right, #75), shares a moment with offensive lineman, Dan Anstett (left, #68), after their teammate, quarterback, Danny Jones scored the winning touchdown against the Mt. Union defense during the fourth quarter of the 2007 Stagg Bowl held at Salem Stadium in Salem, Virginia on Saturday. Wisconsin-Whitewater won its first ever Division III National Championship 31-21 over the number 1 ranked Mount Union Raiders, in the process ending the Raiders' NCAA-best 37-game win streak.

Thought this was a really nice moment. There is something about sports that makes men, even these physically giant football players, let their guard down, and not be afraid to show emotion.
