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?

Note the timing on this flip:

Looks mid-20s and a 40 percent chance of snow for Saturday's game in Collegeville.

Thanks for the update, Duff and Pat. An ARC/MIAC border bowl seems like a natural fit. This year a Central-Concordia matchup would pair two programs with solid histories ... although it looks like the Dutch might be a cut above this season.

Quote from: DuffMan on November 20, 2025, 08:10:56 PMDespite the MWC being what it is, Monmouth demolished everyone except Wartburg, and the Johnnies are 0-1 against respectable teams.  I expect a slug fest, and the Johnnies will lose if they don't come out firing on all cylinders.

Watched some of the clips vs. Wartburg and they do appear better and more physical than the typical MWC champ. Just how much is the question.

I don't know if it was the case in '05 but there's a heavy Florida presence on the roster. The HC now was the DC in 2005.

It will never happen given the apparent anti-football bias of many of the admins in the MIAC, but would allowing bowl participation help the "little 8" work toward raising their game and give their programs a boost?

On an individual level, my personal fav was always the late dogsled racer Herbie Nayokpuk, aka "The Shishmaref Cannonball," although Chuck Wepner, "the Bayonne Bleeder" ain't bad either.

Did not know that about Ramler. Very cool and underrated city despite its rep as "Detroit of Italy."

Not long out of college I took a job in Dickinson,  N.D., where the crosstown rivalry was the Midgets vs. the Titans. Down the road were the Hebron Brickmakers ... not a basketball school.

Later I moved to Alaska and came across the Aniak Halfbreeds.

BU and SJU each did better than UMD and Mankato in the d2 draw. Ferris State is in their quad.

Well not anymore, thanks to you!   

Ha! Just more for folks to think about, right?

21 catches ... that's a season for some guys!

Pretty interesting how similar the Feeney and Drews stats were against Carleton. Both just feasted.
