Tis the season.

Didn't the MIAC used to do a coaches poll? Was wondering what they might have thought about GAC.

It seems the MIAC site is a bit thinner these days.

Monster venue. Friend justed posted a vid from Niners practice. A lot of those pricey seats look miles from field.

I would point out that St. John's is a bit of an outlier in this discussion. The large rosters go back to the early years of John Gagliardi, who basically hated cutting kids, and predates the enrollment challenges by several decades.

The "no cut" policy was well known around the region, at least in the early '70s when I was in school.

Pipers are due!

Willing to bet Tudor Flintham will have St. John's ahead of at least one of the three MIAC teams in rankings.

He played a ton of first years last season and is adding a lot of talent again.

Back when I lived in Alaska, I'd hunt ducks and geese with a bunch of FBI guys on the tidal flats across Cook Inlet from Anchorage. Great fun. Floatplane access only.

The SAC (a Mac grad from Anoka) saw some guys nearby shoot a swan. Turns out they were a bunch of lawyers. He offered them a choice ... an immediate swan dinner or a call to Fish & Game.

Apparently not the tastiest of waterfowl.

Those S.D. pheasants will look like 747s after doves. Great in table though. One of my brothers chased a lot of woodcock, which are a great challenge but not sure there are any near Willmar though.

Faculty layoffs, an undisclosed number, coming at CSS. No word in how it will filter to athletics.

He's "blazin' it up with Sloan Kettering."

Best of luck to Brandon. That's a huge hole to fill on a number of levels.

I printed that out and posted it on my  fridge, Zip. I am ready to go!

I thought it was an appropriate celebration given the conditions today.

Me too. Iowa crew probably grumpy about a long drive down 35 tonight.

Apparently snow angels are verboten in d3, but not the Big Ten.

Don't know about recent seasons, but UMD has had some great local backs do well there, especially during its early D2 days when it was running 60 times per game.

Wonder how long of a look they gave Manns?
