I should be pulling into Collegeville about 9am with 56321 and, most importantly, the Chicago Polish sausages.
Looks to be a great day in Collegeville.
BTW, anyone know what happened to Lone Augie Backer? Miss his posts.
Unfortunately, the real world! I quit working for someone else and started doing in home personal training on my own and as such now get 3x the money but work 5x the hours! I also am an assistant coach at Minneapolis SW (along with former SJU WR Brandon Royce for all you Johnnie fans out there) and had my first child in April (Son). So, I no longer have that college-life-provided thing called free time~! I actually came on here to read first hand accounts of Saturday's game. My only connection to the game was to call Coach Saturday night when KARE11 put the score on their 10 pm news. He was busy celebrating and so I didn't want to keep him to get the details. I was hoping to get some in-game perspective from some of those that may have seen the action first hand, but all I've gathered is the typical shoulda-woulda-couldas that follow any loss (trust me, after SW lost to Washburn Friday night, I'm doing plenty of those myself!).
I no longer have anyone on the squad that I played with at Auggie, and as such, am officially old, and also, not as much in contact with the team. I train clients seven days a week so haven't been able to attend any games for the last couple of years. I truly miss it, but as many of you that played can attest, the first couple of years away are the hardest - you miss the camaraderie with the guys, the hitting and being hit, and so going back was a bit tough as well.
Congrats to my Auggies. I still don't know much more than the headline post on the main page. I don't know if a sniper killed all the SJU studs, or if Augsburg is now the powerhouse of D3 (look out MU+UWW?

I'll try to get on here more frequently than every 4 years or so, but cannot promise much! These days the only scores I know are _ bottles vs. _ diapers.
Go Auggies!
