The NCAA selection committee has to be incompetent.

It doesn't have to be, but it sure is.

Winter well my friends, screw the selection committee.   And summer well Oz.

The projected bracket is posted- it shows bethel at Whitewater, and SJU hosting Wheaton.

I'm thinking the committee will have different ideas this year and we'll all be shocked/appalled by what they do. I have nothing to base this on but gut instinct.

I welcome other opinions as to what to do with the bracket in this part of the country. Yes, the name of Bethel against UW-Whitewater is something that people will look twice at, but Bethel is 8-2 and won't have a win against a regionally ranked team.

I understand Bethel doesn't have a win against a regionally ranked team, but they didn't play any regionally ranked teams the second half of the season either. I believe they are a completely different team now than they were the first few games of the season. Unfortunately that doesn't factor into the rankings.

You need to shedule ranked opponents, to play them.

Great pictures Oz, yet another reason to get back to Australia.

Art, excellent use of Monkey StompTM.  I don't expect The Cru to crap the bed again.  I could see that game going either way, but if Trinity is back to full or near-full strength, I think they'll win.

I'm wondering if Trinity will have their All-American linebacker for the first half. It sounds like they were going to appeal the targeting ejection to the NCAA.

Targeting should not penalized with an ejection in D3 or any level that does not have replay. Assess a 15 yard penalty and have the player sit out for 5 plays. If he gets another personal foul penalty in the game then eject him.
Also there's enough video at D3 games that there could be a review process.
After the player was ejected at SJU on Saturday there was a video replay on the video board and it showed clearly that it was not targeting.

Amen

Does Sal's even still play Piano Man at closing time?

Pretty sure they do. They even changed the Sal's logo to incorporate two stick men with dropped trousers. Sounds like Dylan is either: a) a fan of the Middy, b) a fan of the La, c) someone that needs to get out a little more. ;)



Ha ha, nothing but the Middy or the American Legion for me these days. I get pretty excited shopping at the St. Joe Meat Market. I do need to get out more, but maybe my senior at SJU needs to get out even more than me?!?!

If I lived in the vicinity, they would be my choices as well.

Ice Bear says there is some douche bag who keeps dinging his karma everytime he posts here. ****ing shame as Ice really is enjoying himself watching/learning about some great MIAC football. To Ice, this is by far one of the best boards on PP with some of the best posters going.

I check the board out a couple of times a week anymore during season, I enjoy your posts and generally bump you when I can.

I, for one, am glad of Ice Bear's presence.  It adds the lightness this board has lacked for a while.  Long Live Ice Bear!

Stay hot Ice Bear

Adios, Texas Ole!

Would UMHB and the "American" Southwest Conference continue to compete in NCAA athletics?  Originally this was a satirical question but as I wrote it decided it was a serious question. Maybe they could play in the Successionist Southwest Conference?


Ugh!  Not another one of these.  I lean to the right, and this is just ridiculous.  I have Texas pride, but I will always be an American first!  I am far more proud of my ancestral heritage.  Texas secedes, and I will have to figure out what to do.  There is a secessionist party in Texas that seems to nominate a few people to state offices every year.  Basically this is just a memo sent to members of the party to vote on (think primary) that if it passes means it might go before the state legislature.  Then you have the bill to become a law.  In all likelihood it isn't happening.  I feel like this is whining about a lost election.  I also wonder if it makes financial sense to start a new country!

I do believe there is trademark on the Southwest Conference name that basically prevents anyone from ever using it again.

I'm a little bit confused ... wasn't this all settled 157 years ago?

You would have thought give or take a few years. Rejoined in 1870. California is another state that likes to threaten to secede.

They should be allowed to.

Hopefully you avoided the severe weather this weekend. We had out swing set blown over for what feels like the tenth time this spring.

We were tent camping near Luverne this weekend.  It was a little hairy, at times.

We were in Tracy for the weekend, woke up to tornado sirens Sunday morning around 5:30, when you hear sirens in that town you hit the basement.  Glad you are sate.

Looks like we can visit Oz again. :)

Oz? Toto, we're not in Alliance anymore!

The other "57" .  8-)
'Fortress Australia' (Oz) has finally allowed visitors again after 2? years.   ::)
57W?

Heh.  You're supposed to self test and then turn yourself in for a stay at a Centre for National Resilience (Yes, the actual name, can you believe it?).  If you and the better half come down for a visit I promise to hide you from the covid marshals.

We'd be covered for a return trip?
