The 2008 Malone Pioneers football team (variously "Malone" or "Malone University", formerly "Malone College") represents Malone University in the season of 2008. The Pioneers play their home games in Fawcett Stadium.
The schedule was originally to begin with three non-conference games. The September 6 game against Apprentice in Virginia was cancelled due to severe weather conditions. The remaining three non-conference games were against Union College in Kentucky and Olivet Nazarene University in Illinois, followed by St. Xavier later in the season. The season ended with a trip to the 2008 Victory Bowl in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Malone lost in a close game to Northwestern (MN).

Mercutio. And so did I.
Romeo. Well, what was yours?
Mercutio. That dreamers often lie.
Romeo. In bed asleep, while they do dream things true.
Mercutio. O then I see Queen Mab hath been with you.

In shape no bigger than an agate stone
On the forefinger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomi
Over men’s noses as they lie asleep.”
