Quote from: USee on December 15, 2025, 02:10:59 PMThe play did not affect the outcome nor the momentum IMO.

That's a laughably indefensible position to take, but it's your luxury to do so.

The better team won. How we got there wasn't great and should not be allowed to happen again. Both things can be true, and they are.

Seems to me NCC had a convincing win and some of you guys just don't want to accept it. Believe me, I was not rooting for NCC either!

You're arguing with your own straw man; carry on, by all means.

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story......

You unreasonably want them to both accept that the tent issue doesn't exist AND that BU got their butts kicked.  No BU supporter has suggested BU would win absent that event, but it's clear that the tent event and subsequent call were wrong.

They, entirely reasonably, wish they could have seen a second half that started tied rather than quickly going down 21-7.  What's unclear to me is why you insist on not letting them, despite their acceptance of the loss, want to see a second half on clean terms.  You may not be supporting NCC, but you are certainly supporting yourself as the arbiter of what supporters are reasonably allowed to say in support of their team.  Who appointed you president of the supporter behaviour committee?

Good luck, BU.  I hope this is your year.

Sigh, another year comes to a close. Thanks for the play, boys.  I look forward to next season.

And to get a jump on the beer posts, a bit of Aussie humour that had me thinking of the janesvilleflash.

It ain't over, boys!  Show 'em some magic. Everyone fears it!

Quote from: sju56321 on December 06, 2025, 02:28:57 PMRF is clearly better-but SJU still has a chance at half. The D front-not too much pressure and their QB has 88 yards rushing. Can SJU contain that in second half? Feeney needs to be better in second half.

We're gonna need a bag of extra fresh magic beans. It's never over until Hilda gets out the spear and shield.

Let's go, Johnnies!

I feel a Thomas Sowell quote about Utopianism coming on....

Quote from: fredfalcon on December 04, 2025, 04:09:12 PMKaleb Blaha is 23, not 25. His first year at UWRF was 2021. A medical red-shirt year after his second hamstring injury gave him an extra year.

Thank goodness for old man bladders. Unfortunately the game isn't viewable overseas. I'm old school with VOJ.

Quote from: art76 on November 28, 2025, 07:00:31 PMThe pundits on the D3 Quick Hits have the Johnnies winning by at least two, and BU squeaking one out. I sure hope they are wrong on both accounts. I would love to see both squads win by at least three scores, or more, just to accentuate how good the two teams really are. Now, if the pundits are right in their assessment, I don't see the Royals getting out of this quadrant. I think it would be a hoot to see the Johnnies and the Royals in the Stagg Bowl this year. Lots of football left to play to realize that dream, eh?

A rematch in the Stagg would make this the greatest MIAC season of all time.  I say Yes.

Thanks, and much appreciated. The same to you and everyone here.

We're hosting friends for Thanksgiving on Saturday, as is our tradition every year.  I'm hoping that a level four doesn't prevent me from waking up in time for the game Sunday morning.  5am kickoff.  It will be a challenge.

Quote from: DuffMan on November 19, 2025, 10:19:16 AMI gave in on 11/1--was happy to make it to November, but it was getting chilly and I was nursing a level 4 Halloween hangover.

Heh. A level four. I haven't seen that used in a few years. I believe someone had published the level rules at one point. Does anybody remember what they all are?

Quote from: sjujohnnie on November 15, 2025, 11:31:22 PMLogan Hansen's mock bracket has Whitewater traveling to Collegeville in the second round. Then, if we could get past Whitewater, we'd most likely face River Falls on the road.

I would be up early to watch those games. This year has not done well at pulling me out of bed at 0 dark thirty.
