Oz, you sent me down the rabbit hole as I dug through the interwebs to find something similar I had seen earlier this summer. FWIW

Ha! It's crazy how that matches. For people who understand tempo and chords (I am not one of those people), this is probably pretty fun to do.

And something similar - but not the same: https://youtu.be/Z7AhWM30C_g?list=RDZ7AhWM30C_g

This week, we've got:
Bethel @ Hamline - Snoozer; Royals by a bunch
Auggie Tech @ SJU - Another snoozer. The only reason I think Auggie Tech may score is that it's Homecoming and SJU will play everyone. SJU'll be hungry for shutout #3, though.
GAC @ Cobbers - Could be a good game, but I'm not really interested.
Mac @ Schollies - Should be a competitive game.
Oles @ Carleton - I think Carletion will smoke the Oles.

Looks like Hamline will be the only common opponent prior to our toughest test of the season when we have to travel to Arden Hills. If Bethel wins by more than 59 can anything be gleaned from that as to how we'll fare against Bethel? Hamline will be hosting Bethel as they did St John's.

To me the only telling result would be if Hamline kept it within 30, which would bode poorly for Bethel v SJU. A 35+ point win doesn't tell much one way or the other. Especially since I'm sure neither team is really showing their best stuff against Hamline. You want to see guy execute well and play with intensity, but I'd assume the game plans are pretty vanilla.

Here's a conversation topic potentially that I've been curious if anyone has any insight on . . . At the end of Gagliardi's legendary career, there was a string of disappointing seasons. Does anyone have any insight as to what lead to those disappointing win/loss records? Also curious, for anyone in the know, will Gary coach for many years to come? If not, would there be any front runners to replace his stellar tenure at the helm? My hope is that he's around for many years to come and can even get us back on top with another national championship!

SJU did run an unbalanced line about 6-7 times against Hamline...mostly ran out of hit. I think they threw at least once out of the formation. Also played both QB's and had Dittbenner ran a boot once for a TD. I'm sure both will play this saturday which will require BU to prepare for both.
Bethel will put at least 50 on the board against the Pipers...maybe 60.

Trying to decide if I want to drop the $15.75 to watch the Johnnie game on Saturday.
Gus Davis at Cornholes might give us an idea of which is the better team considering both teams poor performance last week. If it's a close game it probably likely won't be an indication of which team is markedly better. I don't know what to expect.

I thought you could only buy a full season?

Huh, I didn't get that option when I toyed with ordering the UMM game. It says "on demand". Will they really allow watching after the live broadcast?

Watching later in the day or next day has worked for me in the past. I always take a screen shot when I purchase just in case the on-demand doesn't work. If that happens the interim AD and el presidente will be getting an email. You cannot show "on-demand" or "access does not expire" and then not make it available. I'm no lawyer but I think that might constitute fraud. It really makes me laugh it they're worried about other teams getting "film." I think everyone in the league shares every game on Hudl...and if a playoff team wants video of a particular game I'd bet $100 they can get it.

I bought the season pass and just went to see if I could still watch the UM-Morris game. It seems like it isn't available anymore

That's disappointing. One of the reasons for subscribing or purchasing the game is so that you can watch it when you have time. Not everyone can tune in at 1pm every Saturday.
