Everyone's favorite corn-based franchise is retooled and ready for another DIII playoff run. Fresh blood enters the fray as two rookies will make the final roster. Not a bad haul considering we all know Mildcats GM, Gary Cornwater, spent zero time or effort on the draft.
The fans didn't like having cold cornwater poured over their fire, but here we are. Nick Ritchie has the makings of a rotation player, and Roger Still will replace Omar Wheatley as a scrimmage specialist.
This brings the total number of homegrown players up to 7. With three of those looking like bonafide future stars.
When asked if he considers the Mildcats an established DIII program, Gary replied, "Yes, our corn grows tall."
The catchphrase has been a viral sensation and the fans have rallied behind it. That's why we're excited to announce a new line of Our Corn Grows Tall merch, available on opening day!
