Porter vs. Pimp Juice

RF last beat SJU in 1937 when I was 4 years. old. Since then RF is 0-9 against the Johnnies. What does that portend? Nothing.The game will be close but the string of wins will end.

Will RF be charging for tailgate spots?

Couple of random playoff questions - on the NCAA official bracket site it has the times as TBA - but it looks like 3 Eastern time zone games and 5 Central time zone games. Does that mean these games are going to be spread out more during the day?

And more of a curiosity question, but is anyone keeping track of the updated NPI calculations of the remaining 16 teams? Or any of the playoff teams, for that matter - just to see how things fully shake out?

I will do my part to motivate SJU-you guys have no chance. The D is overrated and the QB throws interceptions. How is that for motivation?

I printed that out and posted it on my  fridge, Zip. I am ready to go!

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!

Ha ha ha, I knew that would prompt a BDB post.

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.
