Sounds to me like she wasn't getting invited to many "dry" party's with the St. Olaf hockey team then. 

"Sipping"

Ha! Fine, I'll admit it was aggressive sipping

Quote from: Retired Old Rat on August 03, 2026, 05:49:11 PMWhy is the attendance so much higher at Carleton?

We don't question statistics that suggest Carleton is better, we just accept them as indisputable truth and move on. But every Carleton-Olaf game @Olaf I remember was packed. Smaller stadium, sure. I will say, the last two times I returned for a home game I was very pleasantly surprised by the amount of students who were tailgating the game. I think actually winning games makes it easier to convince classmates, friends, neighbors to move their Saturday drinking across the street for a few hours.

Trenches on both sides have improved enough to be in the second tier of the MIAC, but still haven't closed the gap SJU or BU. I believe the trajectory is still pointing up under Journell. Lot easier to recruit for a team that is consistently 7-3/8-2 than 2-8, which was more the norm under the previous staff

Sounds like Carleton O-line is overmatched

Didn't Curtis get knocked out of the UWW game? I thought I remember some buddies talking about the game and saying that it was close early before one of the key guys got hurt and had to exit.

Anyone planning to watch the national championship on Monday? Curious to see if Notre Dame makes it close or if this Ohio State team truly is in a class of their own this year

It used to be that players transferring from DIII to DI had to sit out a year, but not vice versa (with the exception of grad students). I assume in this new age of college football thats no longer the case, and DIII kids are immediately eligible?

Congrats to Bethel on the win and good luck next week

Quote from: Retired Old Rat on October 26, 2024, 05:07:06 PMOn the postgame Gary said they think Caden Wheeler dislocated his ankle. Likely out for the year.

Did he get airlifted out on a helicopter or was it just a coincidence that a copter flew out about 20 minutes after he left the field?

Do you really think they would air lift someone for a dislocated ankle?

No, that would be a very inappropriate use of resources. Even if it was an open fracture-dislocation, that can go via ambulance to the nearest hospital.

According to the Carls broadcaster, several Johnnie PFs were missed. 

What, you want an unbiased home broadcast? Good luck finding that...

That being said, I do look forward to the day that there is a new play-by-play guy for Carleton. I know he's been doing it a long time and he's a nice folksy guy, but I can't help but look around at some of the other MIAC broadcasts and feel that their announcers are able to keep up better. Also the production quality seems to have fallen off a bit, especially compared to St. Olaf and Gustavus

I didn't hear - or maybe just didn't pay attention - to the moaning about missed calls. But I did notice that he frequently missed the down and distance and placement of the ball. "Looks like he's just short of a first down - oh wait, he's cut it to 2nd and 11." That kind of stuff.

Agreed, that stuff happens all the time with him. Usually I just watch on mute, which is a pity.

Just turned on the Carleton game. Score a bit closer than I anticipated. Anyone able to provide a first half recap?

Quote from: sjusection105 on October 13, 2024, 07:16:43 AMSt. Olal is off to a 5-0 start. Saturday they will host St. Scholastica and will be 6-0. Their final three games are on the road visiting Augsburg, Gustavus and SJU. How will the Oles handle the last three road games of the regular season?

0-3. I wasn't able to watch the whole game but was unimpressed by St. Olaf. The parts I watched Carleton played terribly making mistake after mistake, and still had four chances from the Oles six-yard line to at least tie, if not win the game outright. Including a wide open WR in the endzone who got his feet tangled up and couldn't make the catch. All this after the starting QB went out with injury early in the game. That being said, I thought the backup had some really impressive throws. He threw some on a rope 20 yards down field while sprinting out to his right. He had a really nice throwing layering one in between a LB and a safety. He just cannot throw a fade worth a darn. Maybe that will improve with more reps, if the starter is out any extended period.

Disappointing season for the Knights thus far, the loss of their previous OC had a bigger impact than I thought, given he inherited a pretty full cupboard.

RFBreux, I am here to eat my crow. It looked like they left offense behind. Despite returning the majority of an offense that scored over 40 on the Sagehens last year, they were only able to manage one offensive touchdown. Maybe I underrated the effect of travel? I saw online that the team didn't fly in until Friday, I had thought they were flying in a lot earlier than that. Well, each team wins one at home. Here's to hoping the series continues in the future

Time to eat my crow. I thought Carleton would cruise in California, but the offense never got off the plane. They return the majority of their starters and could only put up one touchdown against a team they scored 40+ on last year. I guess things aren't off to a smooth start with the new coordinator. Maybe I underrated the effect of travel?
