How bad is Hamline if they were shut out 29-0 by Macalester?
[/quote]

I 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?

Couple of random notes - Devin Williams made team of the week and won MIAC player of the week - he had a great game, that's for sure.

Last night I was reading on the D3 boards some of the comments, though I cannot find it this morning, but somebody quipped (perhaps Pappy?) that one of the coaches at UMHB said of Bethel, "They don't blink" when referring to how they prepare for opponents. I thought that was rather insightful.

Pollsters were a bit harsh on the Johnnies this week: https://www.d3football.com/top25/2025/week5

I expected them to be like 6th and 7th, or 7th and 8th in the poll. Like Hazz, I watched the replay and I thought they were pretty evenly matched.

This.

I watched the replay this afternoon of the HU/BU game and have come away with some uneasiness as we get ready to face the Johnnies next weekend. It'll be a good game, probably the best game for the two teams until playoff time. There is nothing I can point to specifically, just a general uneasiness because of the unevenness of play that BU displayed on both offense and especially on defense. Just not always sharp and focused - almost like there were 11 "best players" on the field, but not a team unified and indivisible. But that is just 1 game and I wasn't able to hear what was being said on the field to and by teammates. The dead ball 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty really stands out. I sure hope I am wrong about what I saw.

And something similar - but not the same: https://youtu.be/Z7AhWM30C_g?list=RDZ7AhWM30C_g

Oz, you sent me down the rabbit hole as I dug through the interwebs to find something similar I had seen earlier this summer. FWIW

Quote from: art76 on September 11, 2025, 03:48:31 PMI hope to be able to get to the BU/UNWSP game, though I may be tardy. If all goes as planned, I will end the day having achieved my NAR L3 Certification, which is the highest a person can get. I'll be up on the sod farms in North Branch most of the day getting in two flights, a shake down flight to @9000 feet, and then the certification attempt going to @11000 feet. I'll let everyone here know how it goes.

I never made it to the game as I had to spend time in the workshop/garage last night to resolve some fitment issues with my rocket. Went back out to the field this morning and got 'er done! I am now NAR Level 3 Certified. Once I get all the data points gathered I'll share some tidbits.

Tidbits:

L flight on Saturday

570.293 mph
7759 feet in altitude

M flight on Sunday

714.075 mph
11,613 feet in altitude

If you do Facebook, many pictures there under my account.

Is "sudo apt-get install" something you intentionally wrote on your profile, or did it get spoofed/hacked somehow?

Pat, and others, it's a command used by Debian branched Linux derivatives to install new programing from the repositories. Definitely nerdy lingo - ha!

I'll try to find a "rockety" Avatar that plays nice with the forum.

And what's happening to some of our profile pictures - my Raspberry Pi has disappeared?

Please bear with me for a spell. Over the summer I had a cochlear implant put in for the acute loss of hearing in my left ear that happened overnight about 4 years ago now. As my audiologist works with me, more and more avenues/vistas are getting opened again for me. So today for the first time I listened to the Podcast on Spotify on my phone by listening directly into my processor because I could connect to it via Bluetooth. To say Pat and Greg sure sounded funny would be an understatement - but, I could hear them again in my left ear! That's the miracle of modern technology. I'll still be learning to better discern what I'm hearing as the days go by - so very grateful for the doctors who have helped me in my journey from total and absolute deafness to being able to hear the human voice again.

Quote from: Pat Coleman on August 25, 2025, 10:37:24 AMBethel's preseason report to our Top 25 voters had 1 starter returning on defense.

Pretty sure Art's numbers are based on the letter Coach Mac sends out to alumni FB players. Letter said 5 and 3. I'm guessing there are two guys who played a ton of snaps but weren't listed as 1 on the depth chart and that's the discrepancy? Similarly, Geebli isn't listed as a returning starter, but he was their top back by the back half of the season once he was back to form from injury.

What Hazz said...

Pat and Greg are pretty high on UW River Falls with Blaha returning in the latest podcast.
