Congratulations to d4_Pace and paclassic89 for tying for 14th place in the d3challenge.com bracket challenge.

I hope we can get more users in it next year -- it's been a few years since we hosted a soccer challenge (or any challenge) so the smaller numbers this year weren't discouraging but actually made me excited to keep the project going forward.

I'll see you all in November, 2024!

It took a pretty massive comeback (down 0-2, survived 6 match points) but we did eventually send Whitewater back to Wisconsin without the regional championship.  On to LA for the elite eight.

It's been a pretty impressive season for them this year, that's for sure. It's been fun watching them play the few times I made it over for matches.

@Ryan. I believe you left out the part where you sued first, for a crazy amount of money and damages. The SID made a mistake, and they tried to discuss. You can't go scorched earth and then complain when they disengage from the nonsense. Agree it didn't have to get here. But the insanity of your initial lawsuit played a part. There's blame to go around.


We enforced our license, $50 per image per use, and sent them an invoice.

They then told us to pound sand, lied in the statements they made to us, and refused to take our calls.

We have not filed a suit on the school.

They put 3,196 photos of ours for sale, sold many, pocketed the money, and when they admitted it refused to return that money to us.

So... who's the bad guy here?



[Edit]
I'll gladly clear up all the misinformation and rumor being spread on this. The only times we've held detail back was while we were trying to sit down to come to a resolution with the school and they were dodging their responsibility. Once those attempts were fully exhausted we started publishing the name of the school that stole from us and on July 1, 2023, we dropped their name from our website completely – five years after they told us to buzz off and banned us from their campus.

TSIAH - The school in Arden Hills, MN.

I know a bit of the history between BU and the folks at D3 Photography - this makes me chuckle.

(Go to the bracket challenge for where I am getting this info.)

That's funny, but frankly a little embarrassing and unprofessional for d3photo.

I spent five years trying to simply have a conversation with that school.

I called them every month for two years.

They refused to talk to me, or my partner.

They even went as far as to ban not just d3photo from their campus but at one time banned D3sports as well.

They still refuse to come to the table to discuss things.

They only let their lawyers talk and they will not talk to us because we do not have a lawyer at this time. We cannot afford to hire the lawyers needed to get them to tell us to pound sand.

Five years, tens of thousands of dollars, spent trying to get them to simply talk to us.

We are broken.

They have lost the privilege to be referred to by their name.

Unprofessional? Maybe. I'd rather be called "unprofressional" than commit fraud, steal, lie, and cover up those actions like the school has.

Everything you said may well be correct, but I didn't check week 3...when you think about it, you're going to be a little red-faced. The UST/SJU game was sandwiched between the week 4 and week 5 vote. I'm not sure how the week 3 poll would reflect what was going to happen 2 weeks later!! So obviously, my comments referred to the week 4 top 25 and the one that came out today, week 5. The numbers are like this:
{snipped}

Very good point. I'm not used to the new site yet, apparently.

I stand corrected.

Thanks for the optimistic tone bp. SJU falls to  #23, UWEC up to #17. I guess that fuels the optimism.

Interesting that St. Thomas lost 4 votes beating the J's by 1, who lost exactly 1/2 their votes from a week prior (158 to 79). Stout remains at 3 votes, with a date at the Perk this Sat; Point drops 57 votes all the way down to 4 with their loss to EC. The Oshkosh yo-yo is a little confusing - they beat RF and pick up 11 votes, then beat LC for almost the first time in modern, recorded history, but lose 16 (now are at 8). EC picked up 41 votes & 1 position beating Point by 6 in OT. I look forward to see what they do at Platteville this week. Trine (winner over Adrian by 1 score) moves down 1 position, but in the process, picks up 18 votes :-\.  EC, SJU, Stout, Oshkosh, probably even Point beats Trine on any given Sat or Thurs, IMO). Interesting!!  ;)

Actually, UST gained 4 points (I'd wager that they are on every single ballot both weeks).
Week three: 543 points: http://d3football.com/top25/2010/week3
Week four: 547 points: http://d3football.com/top25/2010/current

The lot took over 4600 photos and 20 minutes of video.

I've edited both down to 619 photos and about 10 minutes.

Well, obviously, there was no need to bring the trophy to UST, Ryan.

That's not the point. If you lose, you have to give up the trophy. If it is, indeed, a "traveling" trophy.

In all the other trophy games, the "prize" itself goes to the location of the particular game.

Clicked on the link to Wikipedia's list of 45 DIII rivalries and noticed UST/SJU isn't on there because they don't play for something tangible or haven't named the rivalry.

Since Bennies are notorious for being chubby and according to you guys UST girls are slutty, maybe we could play for Snooki from Jersey Shore. Whoever loses has to keep her on their campus all liquored up for a year.
actually, Bench, there is a traveling trophy, altho it hasnt left Collegeville. I've had the pleasure of seeing The Holy Grail-- it must outweigh the Gagliardi Trophy, if thats possible. Rumor has it THG will be residing at a new address come Sunday AM.

If it "traveled" we'd have seen it at the last 5 games... I have seen nothing.

I'm not much of a writer, but I have a collection of photos of the crowds, the face painting, the shirts from the UST/SJU games in the past few years up on the d3photography.com blog: http://blog.d3photography.com/2010/10/whats-in-a-rivalry-game/

I try to post a couple of blog entries a week, and you can follow our recent game galleries and posts through our facebook page.

Thanks!

Pat - Any reason that you don't have any schedule/result info up for SJU?

Probably a dev issue - King's page does the same thing: http://www.d3football.com/teams/King-s/2010/index

How long is Clute out for?  Will he be good to go for the Johnnies game this Saturday? 

I looked at the roster and Clute's mug on Hamline's site is a blond, but he's not anymore, right? I talked to him before the game, he's was hoping to play last night but he didn't pass the conditioning test the trainer was putting him through. He does hope to get back on the court this weekend.
I guess he only go rid of the migraine on Monday and his memory is still sketchy from the Concordia game -- that was one nasty concussion he got.
Last time I saw Clute play - one week or so ago, he was still a blonde.

Right, I just dug through and it was Tanner Anderson. Not exactly a threat off the bench. :) But yeah.

Interesting result coming out of the civil or uncivil war in Northfield...is it me or are a majority of the teams in the MIAC suffering from the "Jekyll and Hyde" syndrome?

Nice win for the Auggies...I see the Tommies picked up the type of win I thought they would, the Cobbs were only down 2 at the half, and Toms pulled away, the team I can't figure out is MAC...they have enough talent to win these games but can't seem to get over the hump.
