If anyone can find video of the last minute of the Augustana / U$T video I would love to see it.  How the f-ck does a team blow an 8 point lead w/ under 40 seconds to play?

Easy on the schadenfreude Faunch.  Some Bethel fans might remind you of last Saturday.  Or SJU's loss to Oshkosh last fall, etc.

I'm not concerned...any day the Tom$ lose is a good day.

Faunch- my old man was a Johnnie and I always felt he was the only good Johnnie, something you do a great job of proving nearly daily . . He died 6 yrs ago. That just goes to show that the ONLY good Johnnie is a dead one!

PS- any team that loses to Mac is in NO position to throw stones...especially since USJ hasn't found its way to the NCAA in 15 years.

And how did U$T fall in hoops to lowly SJU just less than 2 weeks ago?
I might have rooted for the Tom$ 10-20 years ago but they've grown to such a level that I will never be able to in any sport.  They dominate the league in so many sports it has grown tiresome.  With over 6,000 undergrads and a location in the Twin Cities that provides them with a massive advantage.  I would pull for a GAC or a MAC playing in a national tournament but never U$T...too big for the small pond which they believe they swim.

At least you're big enough (or little enough, depending on how you look at it) to admit its just pure jealousy, which, by the way, gets you nowhere, like your mom told you.  I was at all 3 games this year.  First two were dominated by UST (the first one was downright embarrassing with a 31 point lead with 7 mins left in the game before UST mercifully emptied the bench), the third one was a great game, more of what I would expect from SJU.  However, with UST's second leading scorer Boll out (17 and 18 points in the first two games), I'm not so sure it would have been that close to begin with, but certainly don't want to take away the fact that SJU came to play as I know most of the kids on that team as well.
You did see that NDSU beat Iowa in Football this year, and the Gophers don't want anything to do with scheduling NDSU, nor do a lot of other schools way larger and in way better locations than Fargo.  Teams like these have Championship mentalities and carry themselves as such.  .....you're kinda wishing you didn't go there with your initial comment, aren't you?

When you actually qualify and go to these games, faunch, its all about the MIAC.  You realize how little respect the MIAC gets vs the NESCAC, WIAC, and others getting 3, 4 or 5 teams in.  I remember last year when we
won the National Championship (you do remember we were National Champions last year, don't you?...or....as they say....."scoreboard!")  I remember thinking SJU should be here as well given the quality of teams at the NCAA and how good I remember the MIAC competition being last year.  Apparently the feeling isn't mutual and I suppose that has something to do with being the perennial bridesmaid;)  However, I guess its better to have been there and lost than not to have been there at all

While exceptions could be made for Belt^TH holders who pulled obvious upsets and then almost immediately lost It^TM, anyone who has successfully defended The Belt^{TM /sup] (sorry - by decree of Just Bill, as long as Carleton can succeed in defense, it shall be known as The Goat BeltTM ) as many times as they have should not just be in the top 25 but probably the top 10!}

The Goat Belt^TM is not getting proper respect!   At least Carleton did rise from 1 point to 8 points.

Could not agree more!! The Goat Belt^TM has been playing some punishing D and rebounding at an unbelievable clip, both things will get you far this time of the year. Interestingly enough Bethel also had 9 votes, topping MIAC foes Carleton with only 8 and St. Thomas with 2.

Interesting indeed considering St. Thomas beat Bethel twice, has a better record than Carleton and went 5-1 against the top 4 seeds while Carleton went 3-3 against top 4 MIAC Seeds and Bethel went 1-5 against the same top MIAC teams.(St. Thomas seeded 1 in MIAC playoffs)
