Why expand the size when the population cliff is looming.

Wabash is all male. 

Dr. D, 
  You can say that again.

It's year two for me.  There was some improvement in year one, so it should be great this year.

Quote from: Kuiper on August 27, 2025, 12:50:14 AMThe UMAC has released its preseason coaches poll.  UW-Superior is the consensus top pick.  I kind of feel bad for Martin Luther, though.  How do you only get 5 points when there are 7 teams total in the conference?  Did someone leave them off their ballot altogether?  Is that a hint?

Complete poll
 
Place    School    Points
1    UW-Superior (6)    36
2    Bethany Lutheran (1)    30
3    Northwestern    25
4    Crown    22
5    North Central    17
6    Minnesota Morris    12
7    Martin Luther    5

This is correct.  Coaches were not allowed to vote for themselves (even for last place).  So the total should be 147 (21 X 7) (6+5+4+3+2+1=21)

BAKERSFIELD: The Pecos League is mourning the loss of Bakersfield Train Robbers pitcher Nick Danbrowney, who died in an automobile accident on August 18. He was 22. This comes after a posting on the teams website shared the news.
Danbrowney, from Barnegat, New Jersey, had recently completed a college career at Ramapo College, where he set the school's career strikeout record.
Train Robbers Manager Bill Rogan issued a statement saying, "Our entire team is devastated. Even though we went our separate ways after the season, we're still a close knit group. We're having trouble dealing with this. Nick was a gentleman off the field and a terrific pitcher on the mound with a bright future. We loved Nick and will never forget him."
The team said funeral arrangements are still pending.

Quote from: Pat Coleman on August 17, 2025, 02:03:19 PMFlo isn't producing the games, even for these D-I games. It's just a streaming service when it comes to game day broadcasts.

Yep. And on the same note: it's important to realize that ESPN+ streams are not produced by ESPN, either. They're produced by those schools and made to look uniform within the ESPN ecosystem, but the responsibility is on the schools.

Then why do they need Flo? Not even an incremental gain?

Quote from: WUPHF on August 17, 2025, 02:52:08 PMThat is a woeful graduation rate.

The article references renovations to a residence hall and library as well as a new student center opening in 2027, so the administration and board must be feeling pretty good about the direction of the college.

Is there any mention of faculty retention or experience?  I think students can sense when they are getting their money's worth.

What a spectacular run for Gustavus golfer Jimmy Abdo at the U.S. Amateur! An incredible underdog performance that brought him all the way to the Quarterfinals. You made Minnesota proud!

Quote from: Ron Boerger on August 06, 2025, 01:25:58 PMHey, CC actually took down their post about having the highest GPA among men's soccer teams.  Kudos to them. 

They probably meant they were higher than their football team.

Quote from: Kuiper on August 01, 2025, 03:24:18 PMCongrats to Colorado College's men's soccer team which posted that it not only won a Team Academic Award from United Soccer Coaches, but its team GPA of 3.80 was the highest in the country over all divisions.

Looks like we have a real ranking controversy as Macalester claims that they actually had the highest team GPA in the country at 3.83

Pretty soon MIT and Caltech are going to argue that their schools should be crowned the champions on a grade-inflation and strength of (course) schedule-adjusted basis!

Didn't Oxy get a Macalester transfer.  How does that factor?

Not D3, but I just read this.

It may not affect the performance of Pomona-Pitzer's men's soccer team, but the mascot Cecil looks a little sharper I suppose

Whatever.
