Heh. Art.

Also, I note that UWLC's season has been a disaster. From such high hopes to another loss this week. The only team in the T25 to lose.

UW-Stout is a solid squad. Lost to WW by 6 and Platteville by 4. The other L was to a D2, so they sit with 2 L's to highly ranked teams.

Quote from: art76 on October 24, 2026, 07:02:55 PMSo, I'm watching the last few minutes of the St. Olaf/St. Scholastica game and I cannot believe what I am hearing, over, and over, and over. Apparently nobody told the broadcasters announcing the game that the mascot name for their opponent does note rhyme with "hole" or "sole". Yikes.

Art76 —Giving score rundowns when I was listening to their broadcast a couple of weeks ago, the "color guy" worked hard and even corrected himself on occasion throw an extra syllable into "Carl-eh-ton". Maybe that's where your last "e" in Ole landed.

If I had to place a bet right now on which team will win the D3 championship I'm putting it on UW-Plattville

Looks like Gusties have their first-string QB for the trip to Collegeville. His fill-in moved to a receiver spot.

Muppet magic at the end of the podcast this week - you can count on it.

Good. No excuses when the Johnnies beat the hell out of them.

For those of you who don't like me belting Final Countdown, you get a one-week reprieve.

Whew, I'm currently about halfway through the podcast.

The wife and I were at the Gopher VB match yesterday, and they played some Final Countdown over the PA. I immediately thought of you, Pat.

That's awesome! I appreciate that.

It's not an ideal sing for my voice, for sure. I recorded all of it in August, including the 11 unique "verses," because I didn't want to keep wrecking my voice every week.

This week's MIAC assessment.

This past weekend's games went chalk, including the Olee/Saints game, that was a nail biter, to determine the MIAC basement holder. Unfortunately for the Saints, they now have to travel to Hamline, who kept the game interesting against Carleton, a team that beat them by one score just two weeks back. This is the last possible "winnable game" for the Saints, as they face the Johnnies and the Royals in their last two games of the season.

Macalester heads down to St. Olaf with identical conference records. The Scots seem to have the injury bug in their Quarterback position, as they rotated their #2 and #3 men in all night in the last outdoor evening game in the MIAC against Bethel. Both of these schools have BU as a common opponent, both losing with only one score during their games.

The MIAC games start this week at noon with Carleton at Augsburg. While the Knights have the better record coming in, Augsburg's win over their common opponent Macalester appears a more solid win. This game will factor in the middle of the pile standings at the end of the season. I suspect the Auggies at home have the slight advantage.

Gustavus at St. John's is an intriguing game this week. As was reported here on the boards earlier, Gustavus will have their #1 QB back in the saddle this week against the Johnnies. It is remembered by many here that it was only a little while ago that the Gusties upset the Johnnies down in Northfield to spoil their season. While I don't think that's a very realistic possibility because so many folks are still alive to remember that game, and will do everything possible to keep it from happening again. It might take the Johnie staff a minute to figure them out because there won't be much film from this season with him at the helm, I'll be very surprised if this game is all that close.

Being the BU homeboy, I fully expect the Cobbers to come at the Royals with a full head of steam. I was at the game they lost with no time on the clock when too many of their players were on the field celebrating a few years back. They haven't forgotten either, trust me. For me, the outcome of the game will be determined fairly early, and the tell will be whether or not BU plays "lights out" with their foot firmly flooring the gas pedal, or dilly-dallies in their first few possessions "finding their rhythm". This game was mentioned in the podcast this morning with the nod going to BU. I certainly hope that is the case.

I think I can safely say that this might be the "closest scoring week" of the season, because all these teams are playing for position in the league against comparable opponents. I'll even go so far as to say that there might not even be one Monkey Stomp amongst all five games, which will be mostly determined by how much gusto the Gusties bring to Collegeville. We shall see.

I'm pretty sure GAC and SJU have never played in Northfield.

NCAA Hit With Antitrust Suit Over Ban on D-III Athletic Scholarships

Thoughts?

Patrick Coleman · **Today** at 09:09:22 PM

I mentioned to our internal team that I was surprised it took so long for someone to do it.

I do not support the suit, to be clear.
