Quote from: DuffMan on April 22, 2025, 01:02:22 PMI can't imagine the mess that would create with transfer credits, etc.

Duff your comment shows your D3 mindset. That line of thinking was thrown out the window years ago at the D1 (and some of the D2 schools/conferences).

"Student"-athletes.

So you're saying that college should really be about learning and accruing credits toward a degree?

We were in Florence, Italy a couple weeks ago visiting our daughter that is studying abroad and I stumbled upon this business. Wondering if John had family in Florence?

Quote from: DuffMan on April 16, 2025, 09:01:17 AMUM-Morris, Auggie Tech, Mac, Hot Carls, and St. Scholastica at home?  What an awful home schedule.  I'll set the over/under for regular season points given up at Clemens at 7.5.

I've been paying for the home game live stream the last couple of seasons...doubtful I'll be coughing up $75 for that schedule. Not really much interest in driving up to Collegeville to watch any of those games. 
Total points for the home schedule 150+ to maybe 10???

Quote from: faunch on April 15, 2025, 07:09:40 PMI feel like I'm one of the only Johnnies that never really knew Fr. Don. I feel like I maybe had a brief chat with him once...my loss for not having any personal Fr. Don anecdotes.

On another note...SJU released their 2025 schedule. The SOS takes a hit with week two non-conference game hosting UMN-Morris. Might be good to not have top ranked opponent as the Johnnies will be breaking in a new QB. The Johnnies actually are all time .500 vs the Cougars (2-2-1).

Calling my shot, Johnnies will be 3-2-1 all time. 😉

Morris lost 28-7 to Carleton last season.
I'm opening the line at a Monkey+ stomp.

Quote from: GoldandBlueBU on April 02, 2025, 12:50:57 PMThat is wild.  I can't see how that will be a good situation for him, Osseo, or Augsburg.

As the great Ron Swanson once said...

I understand that with NIL and the portal it seems like all the rules in NCAA are kind of out the window. That said I don't see how a college coach can also be a high school coach of potential recruits. Just seems weird to me. Also if I'm the person in charge of cutting the check for those positions I might wonder how this is going to work. It's not like coaching his son's 12U baseball team and his daughter's 14U softball team at the same time.

Quote from: SagatagSam on March 12, 2025, 11:31:40 AMHere are the Durenberger Trophy standings as we close the winter sports season and enter the home stretch:

It's gonna be neck and neck. What's left?  Tennis (Gusyies), baseball (Johnnies?), Outdoor T&F (Johnnies?), Cross Country (Gusties).

Is that right?

Bethel track and field probably is favored to win the conference.

Quote from: Pat Coleman on March 06, 2025, 11:47:32 PMLinks for all the games are on the schedule and you can visit the link and confirm this.

Glad I didn't have to pay to watch the Johnnie game last night. I still have motion sickness this morning from the camera work.

Will video streaming be free or are they requiring ESPN+ like football?

Quote from: faunch on March 03, 2025, 01:46:58 PMHow does U of Chicago get to host with an 18-7 record, pool C bid and 34 NPI?

Because Illinois Wesleyan women's basketball are hosting.

St. Johns got jobbed because Chicago is within 500 miles of all three schools in the pod, St. Johns is not.

I guess the good news is St. Johns often does not do well with home court advantage.  Still, I'd have liked the opportunity to attend a game.

On google maps SJU is 498 miles from U of Chicago.

They mentioned on the selection show that Illinois Wesleyan will be hosting the Women's tournament this weekend. I don't know why St John's wouldn't host unless it's a travel thing.

I never thought SJU would host.

Gusties goose 🪿 is cooked. There will be an upset in a conference championship somewhere...hell maybe even in Collegeville. They're not any better than they were last season and they got blown out in the NCAA's by 20. Johnnies aren't any better than last season either.
MIAC entrants this year won't make it past the first weekend of the tournament.
Based on the NPI the MIAC is the 27th beast basketball league in D3.
