One other thing. I'd like to officially start the campaign for Wahoo3 to take over as the new Ole announcer or color-guy on KDHL.

Besides the fact that Meidter's a prick and your obvious dislike of Um Ya Ya, why do the majority of you hate St. Olaf so much?
I can appreciate overly-zealous fans being annoying, but it's good to see Ole students and alumni showing some passion for their team. If anybody can appreciate passion for one's team sometimes going a little overboard it's Johnnie fans

and OldGold I thought the song was Um Gawa
You could be right. Maybe it comes from the well documented African roots of St. Olaf.....or our first president.....Tarzan

I wish. Have you ever experienced "the blatzkrieg?" If not, you should consider yourself lucky and never try it.

Whoops, forgot the prereq. "long time reader, first time poster." Actually I've posted in the past but I honestly can't remember any of my former screen names.
Very sad about the Morris student. I can only imagine what his family is going through right now.

SJU has outperformed St. Olaf against common opponents and this doesn't even take into acocunt the fact that SJU's starters did not play in the 4th (and sometimes 3rd) quarter against Hamline, GAC, and Carleton. Teams that Meidt seemed set on "sending a message" against by leaving starters in ridiculously long.
Funny that you mention playing time. In the games that you mentioned, the only one that the Ole starters played past the 3rd quarter was the Carleton game (starters were in for 1 series in the 4th). Against both Hamline and Carleton the Johnnie starters were taken out at the beginning of the 4th and against GAC they stayed in until the last 3-4 minutes of the game. Who was trying to send a message now?
It's asinine for us as fans to question how long a coach leaves a specific group of players in a game. A coaches primary responsibility is to put his team in the best position to win week in and week out. I have played in several games where the starters were left in during the 3rd and 4th quarters even though we were winning by a large margin. This was not done to show-up, or send a message to the other team. The starters were left in the game because they played like crap en route to that large lead. They were left in until they began to execute consistently and correctly. Meidter's responsibility is to make sure that his team is ready to come out and play at full speed week in and week out. I was at each of the games where a message was supposedly being sent. I can tell you that this was never the case. Meidt was simply putting this team in the best possible position to compete in every game this season.
Maybe St. Olaf will run a fake punt to keep what will eventually be the game winning drive alive on Saturday. Good luck Johnnies, It's gonna be a good one!
