So much chatter about the omniscience, strength and potential danger of AI.

Whatever happened to our own source of all knowledge (and potential danger) ao?

I realize I could scroll back a couple hundred pages, but one of you must have the quick answer....

I feel like the second battle of the season pairing #1 vs #2, this time between North Central & Wheaton, will give us a better idea of the pecking order as will the matchup between Whitewater & La Crosse. When Bethel faced North Central they were without Rundell & it sounds like a lot of the point differential could be self-inflicted wounds by Bethel. I'm hoping that La Crosse doesn't get blown out by Whitewater. At this stage, is it too early to think that St John's could be a legitimate contender?

It's a long season, a lot of improving still to do, and some MIAC opponents who won't just roll over.  But the team did look pretty good against BU and has shown a lot of improvement already.  They are showing good signs.  Let's hope they stay focused.

The launch was cancelled because of the same rain/weather that was up in Collegeville, but I still had a great time camping with my younger son down in SW MN. It was a tough game to listen to, sitting in the Caribou in Marshall, MN on a blustery, rainy day. Congrats to the Johnnies for taking care of business. While that was happening, I was flipping on my tablet between the RF/WW game and the MIAC games that had started on time. A good game to watch was the Auggies as they climbed out of the hole to take the lead with under 2 minutes to play, only to see the Oles rally and kick the game winner at the end.

Looking ahead, the Johnnies have the Scots, and the Cobbers take on the Pipers this coming week. Neither of these games has much of a "trap" feel about them - though each team needs to continue to hone their edges for the possibility of the two unbeatens meeting the week following.

Bethel hosts the Auggies for their Homecoming weekend, and should be able to take care of business there. Carleton hosts the Saints and the final game has the Oles at the Gusties, which might be the close game of the week. Once again I anticipate large spreads in many of the scores this week.
