Quote from: faunch on March 03, 2025, 01:46:58 PMHow does U of Chicago get to host with an 18-7 record, pool C bid and 34 NPI?


Because Illinois Wesleyan women's basketball are hosting.
St. Johns got jobbed because Chicago is within 500 miles of all three schools in the pod, St. Johns is not.

I guess the good news is St. Johns often does not do well with home court advantage.  Still, I'd have liked the opportunity to attend a game.

They're very good at wrestling.
 
Yes, forgot about that.  They are very good indeed.

I'm surprised they still show up on your schedule.  They are not a school.  They appear to me to be an attempted scam of some kind.  Given the "coach's" track record...

Bob Z, congrats to your daughter and her teammates.  I didn't see you at the tailgate either.  It was pretty crazy.

Well, it looks like Minnesota is #1 in at least one athletic category.

SCSU has to be good at something (other than hockey).

Yes, great day to celebrate the legacy of MLK, Jr.

Bob Z, how did the CSB dance team do at Nationals?  WCCO TV gave a lot of coverage to the Gopher squad.

Sam Darnold cost himself 10s of millions over the past two weeks.  Somehow, I think he'll still make do on the $10m or so a year he made this year and will likely collect similar amounts the next few years.  Somewhere else.

As a high school QB: Why on earth would I go to SJU?

My thought exactly when I heard about the USD kid.  Skip the year sitting on the bench at SJU and go straight to Bethel, GAC, Concordia, etc.

Sweet.  Toyota paid for those, not Purdy.

I hope Deshawn Watson is buying his guys Lamborghinis or Ferraris.  With his own money.

I'm guessing Kirk Cousins will be buying his guys Vespas.

I have to disagree, fury.

It's not simply the score, and common opponents scores. It's the way they are overwhelming at the line of scrimmage. I believe they would do the same to SJU and Bethel. And, every other D3 team. I guess we'll know for sure on Jan 5.

Mount Union beat Bridgewater 66-0 in the 2003 semis...

North Central is reminding me of the uber dominant Mount Union teams. This is ugly.
#12
 Now 28-0. We are not even close. I thought we were until today. 
#13
With the benefit of replay the holding call seems more legit.
#14
Congratulations to Bethel on a very fine season. Was hoping they would win it all, giving SJU an opportunity to claim #1 in the final poll.  ;D

On the flip side, that PI call on Sus on 2nd and 10 from the Bethel 40 was questionable.

But, Bethel really got screwed.
