My only exposure to River Falls was when I traveled over there to see them pound Mary Hardin Baylor a couple years ago. Blaha is the real deal and UWRF was loaded in the trenches. I'm assuming they're even better now. This will be a really tough game for SJU. Hopefully they keep the game close enough for some late Johnny Magic or it could be a long day.

The Amherst and Middlebury coaches (and players) need to do some reflection after this year; extremely subpar from both teams.

Quote from: D3fanboy on Yesterday at 02:28:09 PMlistening to the D3football podcast...


wait...the JCU coach brought up "running from competition" in his post game presser in round 2?  lol

I mean, it was in response to a question, so it wasn't completely out of the blue.

A big storm was expected, Bates/Bowdoin also postponed.
However Bates?Colby Women's game was played.

Quote from: Kuiper on Today at 02:08:14 AMBy contrast, Tufts doesn't have a player who has gotten past the Sweet 16

Their 2025 squad is 1-0-0 in the Elite 8! 

Thanks for the write up and thoughts.

Anyone going to start making predictions?!

I knew I should have added "Before this season," 

One additional fact that may only be of interest to me is that St. Olaf's Justin Oliver has won a national championship, while Tufts' Kyle Dezotell has never been this far before as a head coach.  Does it matter?  Not sure.  Oliver, after all, won the championship in his first season.  On the other hand, Dezotell may be feeling the pressure of taking over from a 4-time national championship coach (Josh Shapiro) and, in the eyes of demanding Jumbos alums, having squads that have fallen short from that lofty standard.

Anyone know why that Colby game got postponed?

Quote from: DuffMan on Yesterday at 02:58:57 PMWill RF be charging for tailgate spots?

Ahh yes, the legend of the picnic table in the parking spot. It's been quite awhile since sometime in the 2000's but it is seared in my memory as if yesterday.

It was a beautiful, early season day in River Falls as the Johnnies were coming to town. My radio show that existed then was on location for the occasion, with a segment about the D3 boards included. Interview personalities included in person Johnnie Red, finsleft, I think section105(but not sure) and even the Guru by phone.

After the show which ended at 10am the main host on the show StoutGuy and I joined the Johnnie tailgate at Ramer Field. To understand the layout at Ramer, you either have to park somewhere and walk a long way or pay the $5 bucks to park in the massive parking lot.

At the festivities, as far as people I knew, included other posters around today including Duffman. Even Janesville  Flash showed up. Things were getting rolling with Hamm's flowing and Johnnie Red burgers frying when some folks moved a picnic table into a parking spot amongst the crowd. That's where the story happens.

The parking lot Czar came by and said the picnic table was in a parking spot and that required a $5 payment. It took a bit for us to realize he was serious, and StoutGuy got into a discussion with the Czar as he knew him previously. Well, StoutGuy tried his best but the Czar was holding firm on the need for $5 for the spot, even though there was no way with all the people standing around etc. that anyone would try to park there. Plus, as I stated earlier, it's a large parking lot with lot's of spaces available at that time.

The group decision was not to give into this tyranny, and folks picked up the criminal picnic table and moved it about 20 feet onto the grass. Problem solved, Czar left.

That's the legend of the picnic table in the parking spot. Beware of not crossing that line this Saturday or suffer the consequences!
