CM; having seen only three games hard to predict postseason awards.  Clearly you are going on last season performance in your predictions because the only one of your choices who looked good was OB.  Neither the Gusties or Cobbers had a performer who looked "MVP-Like" against the Blazers.  I think your "sixth-person" insight is right on.  The "steal machine" has had great impact whenever she comes in. 

Because of the early Blazer schedule I haven't been able to see others play, so I apologize for focusing my discussion on the them.  However, it is the story of the first part of the seasn..........their 4-0 start in the conference.   

Also;From the balance on the Blazer squad I can tell you right now there will not be enough places on the all-MIAC team.  Among their "10 starters" I have seen many all conference performances.  CM, I can foresee some "over-under" discussions on the number of Blazer's that will be named "all-Miac".

BB; great analysis of Blazer game.  THe Blazers were just very methodical.  They worked the ball for the good shot, they made the shot when CC would make a little run and they made the Carl's work for shots.  BB you also forgot to mention the obvious bias of the halftime show toward the Blazers. 

Great matchup Wednesday!

Willy; yes the bLazers offer a webcast, accompanied by a big time radio commentary.
However, status as a respected board contibutor would be in jeopardy if a little 5 hour drive gets in your way!

Blazer help defense was tremendous Wednesday, the Cobbers stars never got in the game. 

Willy; the bandwagon remains loaded!

Has there ever been a tougher schedule to start the year then what the Blazers face?  Three top contenders before Christmas and a trip down to Winona.  Then they face Bethel, away, right after the first.  Should be a lot of fun.

Looking forward to making the trip up to St. Joe to see the first real clash of the season.
I am looking for a close game and for the Blazer experience to pull it out. 

I had a beer with a friend yesterday (My eligibility is gone)who has been a gopher men's season ticket holder since '71.  No anticipation there!  The only thing to talk about is when will Monson be done.

Like me with the Cobbers (unBiased) 

UMM 83, Bethel 66

;)Korn; unBiased doesn't mean I won't be cheering for the Blazers.  It does mean I am looking forward to seeing the 06 edition of the Cobbers, among other things.

Anybody have info on Bethel game at UMM?  I am surprised Bethel lost.  Two of most physical teams I saw last year, to put it mildly.
UMM must be improved.

Looking forward to some good MIAC bball. Tonight I will turn off the sound on the Gopher game and listen to the stellar call of the Blazers. 
From those who were at Boston this weekend with the Blazers sounds like they were looking for someone to take charge on O.  They certainly have plenty of options and with a long season ahead I am still confident.  I suspect tonight they will crack the magical 70 total so I can head to the fridge for some Rocky Road.
Hate to say..........but first live MIAC action  for me may involve the Tommies this weekend.
