Quote from: GoldandBlueBU on January 28, 2026, 11:16:38 AMI saw the Gophers offered a scholarship to Jett Feeney - are they the biggest program to give him an offer so far?

Yes, one other FBS offer from Wyoming. Also a few of the local FCS as well.

Quote from: USee on December 15, 2025, 02:10:59 PMI was told that guy was not a coach by someone who would know.

The play did not affect the outcome nor the momentum IMO. Rather than a fluke, unearned TD on a fumble to an OL, Bethel got a first down and was unable to score. They also got the 2nd half kickoff and went three and out. NCC ran the ball for 312 yards because they could and that's who they are, a run first team. Had nothing to do with the score.

 

You are probably right on the first point. The momentum part is massively false. Going into the half tied after just getting a crazy TD vs down a score getting stuffed on the goal line. Would it have made a difference? Probably not, but we will never know....

Quote from: hazzben on December 15, 2025, 12:24:33 PMThe ref acknowledged/admitted at halftime that it was a coach to the Bethel AD, after initially denying a coach was in there before the half. But the explanation 15 minutes later to BU AD was that it was the coach's iPad, and they needed the password, so that's why a coach was allowed in. No explanation given why a coach was allowed to remain in the tent for 3-4 minutes for a passcode.

I get why the ref didn't know, the guy took his headset off right before he stepped into the tent. Then put it back on when he exited. And then ran back to standing with the coaches, with headset on.


Even if the ref was mistaken twice, and it was just the AD, why was the AD in there for all that time and then allowed to go explain what was happening to the NCC defensive staff and other coaches?

What a disaster. I would think/hope this referee (crew?) would be banned from any more playoff games. Judgement calls are one thing, but when the rules aren't followed.... yikes. NCAA will probably assign them to the Stagg in a few weeks. 

Quote from: BU5758 on November 17, 2025, 11:35:17 AM"a game where NCC gets a game winning touchdown in the last second just for it to be called back by a holding penalty."

That was BU in the quarterfinal last year against Susquehanna, not NCC.

No way, really?!

This is rich, Johnnies complaining about an announcer....

Quote from: art76 on October 09, 2025, 08:17:05 AMI haven't looked at the box score, nor watched any of that game, but I was surprised/impressed when the Hamline Freshman QB got into the game in the fourth quarter against BU. He certainly was able to do things that the starting QB couldn't. Granted, BU had subbed in many younger players by then to get some field time experience, but it looked to me like Hamline might need to make a QB switch. But what do I know?

Yeah I find it funny that Bethel allowed more points to Hamline than St. Johns

Why is that funny?

Quote from: BiggieSmalls on April 21, 2025, 10:58:49 PMWonder what changed for him to just be passing through

I would assume he came in to compete, lost job to Feeney this Spring, and now is looking elsewhere. Same thing happened with Pyron for the Gophers. Was in dinkytown for a couple months, lost QB competition, now going elsewhere. Becoming the norm.

As a high school QB: Why on earth would I go to SJU?

Assuming one of these transfers pans out, I wonder if we'll see Dittbenner at a new position in the fall.  He's struck me as a great athlete, so I'd like to see him on the field.

It is notable that SJU seems to be the D1 QB transfer destination for those talented players who don't quite get a the shot at starting D1. They come to SJU and are in pass heaven, tossing the ball until their arm falls off.

I suspect you're right about high school QB's.

With Trey specifically, I'm surprised another FCS program didn't swallow him up. There are a lot of them in need of QB talent that competes for UND starts.  Maybe as a local-ish boy, the lure of the not-quite-Northwoods was too strong.

I would guess he didn't have many offers. He failed to win the job twice at a mid level FCS. I was thinking he may go low level NSIC, but probably jumped at the chance to go to SJU.

Quote from: Pat Coleman on December 18, 2024, 11:16:56 AMHow does one measure arrogance in officiating while watching on TV/screen?

Pat,

My comment regarding arrogance in Officiating was made in the context of the games I watched both in person and on TV during this season.  Officials often would huddle for several minutes only to emerge with a call that was controversial, at best, or a blatant misapplication of a rule and act as though the teams/players impacted had no grounds to question them or seek clarification......this occurred in favor of my teams, against my teams and for and against teams I have no rooting interest in.  It's just a problem that I hope can be addressed.

99.9% of the officials I've encountered have arrogance levels off the charts....

Quote from: DuffMan on December 09, 2024, 12:09:11 PMNot that it matters--equipment is turned in, and we're on to 2025.

Players are on to next year. Fans can rehash, speculate, and bemoan all we want.

Quote from: sju56321 on November 30, 2024, 03:09:48 PMThe D just can't get the job done

They've given up 7 points!?!? Tough crowd 🤔

Quote from: DuffMan on November 13, 2024, 02:35:38 PMWhy would the MIAC give a damn about game times on the west coast this week if they didn't in any of the prior weeks?  They don't care when Linfield plays.  Week 11 is still regular season; after this week, NCAA dicates start times.

Duff and Royals fan in another lovers quarrel .

Quote from: gobigred425 on October 26, 2024, 03:19:11 PMLol SJU fans are hilarious. One of the top offenses in the country being referred to as anemic. Never a dull moment.

Yep, classic sju b*tch fest when a couple things don't go their way. Super funny actually.

In this day and age, it really is impossible to prevent teams from seeing game film. Even at the high school level. Probably not a great idea to alienate the fan base when you don't have to.

So, GAC gets 2nd place points in football despite being 5-3 in the conference, while SJU gets 3rd place points while being 7-1.  Makes total sense.

Only place in the entire sports world with that kind of math...

I was thinking that as well. The only and most fitting adjective to describe that is stupid.

I'm having deja vu.....
