CM, CM, CM---don't know what you've got against one of the best coached in D3 ball..??.. I guess that's what happens when your team gets beaten toooo often by her teams. Coach DandyDurby's a good guy even if he did beat my Knights several times!!!

And to think St. Ben's is a religious institution and this is on of the most sacred of seasons......The shame of it!!!!!:) Repent!!

Been awhile but this old geezer couldn't resist one shot at ya!!!!:)

Don't worry, BG, he isn't !!

Gonna finally see my Knights tomorrow--mehopes. My bride and I are up outa the sticks with the grandkiddies. I'm sure Tammy will remain a distant 2nd in the aforementioned category..........

RC

Sorry, Scorecreeper---:) but the trip from the very bowels of SE MN is too great a trip for this old geezer but will be there in heart. I hope many are downplaying Carleton's team as being a little weak as uttered in a previous posting cuz it'll come back to bite you in the caboose.....I think this is going to be another VERY GOOD Knight team and with Tammy--she'll make very good become VERY GOODER!!!!!

As to Monson, I don't know anything about the goings on only that he's a good guy. Of course, I thought Clem was too after attending some of his coaching clinics so that may explain my judging of character!!!!

Drive carefully, all. I'm traveling the 150 miles north to watch my grandson play 5 year-old floor hockey--gotta have my priorities, ya know.

Go Carleton

News Flash:
Dan Monson Resigned!!!!

I'm not a Gopher fan but have a lot of repect for Dan Monson the person. Winning's the key, however....-I guess....Maybe they'd better bring back Clem.........

Good to hear the Gac-sters bringing some W's for the MIAC preseason. Saw that Wash U. dropped it's 3rd game-awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!! My Filzen's Fabulous Females picked up 3 W's out west. The Chapman game sounded like a great one. Sounds like youth is being used well, too.

Had the privilege of visiting NYU's facilities yesterday. Hmmmm--probably not your norm. Talked to the coaches briefly and found out that they, too, like to talk hoops!!!!!:) It was fun and the head coach is a wonderful person as most of the coaches on the female side are....

Quite impressive place but not for this small town boy. There's more people waiting to cross any intersection on campus than we have in our whole metropolis way down here in the hills........

Happy hoops to all and when driving, please do so with care.

Hey SC, tain't too far from you as I'm in New York where my wee one just began coaching at a D1 school. Gonna take in her game tomorrow. Glad to see my Knights got off on a "W" last night. Will it be the Tammy and Mike show again??

I'm still die hard Carletonian but now have allegiance to NYU as well. The asst. is an important "fellow" in the family so what ya gonna do. Might be able to keep tabs and see a game or two from this pretty powerful D3 conference/association. ANYWAY-glad hoops are here, would take my little town over the vertical bulding any old day, and Happy Thanksgiving....

RC

Kinda been slack in the posting dept. here. Too busy in my old age!!! We were in Mass. last weekend to take in my daughter's final regular season game in the NEWMAC conference. Her team, she's actually the asst., is in the semi's in Springfield this weekend. That's where the D3 finals are held. A decided advantage should the top seed, Springfield, hang on that long.

Anyway-seems that Tammy's mixture of young and old are blending as the season draws down. Hope they can capture one more "W" and secure a spot in the NCAA's.

My thinking is the Bennies are in. With the expanded tourney, I truly believe it's a given. I hope so;the more MIAC teams, the better.

A good weekend to all and "Springs a comin!!!"

Was able to pick up the game on line and see some on the computer in ultra-herky-jerky slo-mo of my antiquated computer. GREAT second half in what I've previously dubbed the "Carleton Classic." I think the Knights are like 12-1 in the tourney and unbeaten on the road--according to the Bennie broadcaster whom I thank for his good play-by-play---faily unbiased, too, I might add, albeit, ya gotta show some support for your pay check as he did.

In addition to the exciting game I though the interview after the game was classic Coach Mike-classy. My hats off to my far off friend even though I'm a Knight through and through. Hopefully you'll still get a bid. the more MIACers-da better.

Hey pal, as a father of 4 kids all of whom are through college I think the WDM acronym was pretty fitting. Oughta see my bank account!!!!!!!!!!!g

I take exception to the negativity by our non-Christion posters about the comments in the STrib. Especailly from a St. Benedictine backer!!!??!!!!!! Being a born-again-Christian I know that the second coming is going to happen on the campus of Carleton, this will have an immediate impact on the female hoopsters and as on the third day, "My Knights Will Rise Again!!!"

Now to less serious "stuff,??!!??" Glad to see my Carletonians get off the turf and bound back. I think if I were teams in the MIAC I'd be "a hopin' and a parayin' that my team dosn't make the playoffs. Tammy has an excellent bunch and when their youth gets seasoned, they'll be tough. Besides--they do have that divine intervention i alluded to previously........Sorry forgot to take my meds,,,,:)

A good Sunday to all and travel with care.

I had the pleasure of winding my way to Winona this p.m. to watch CSB and SMU. SMU did a good job of holding Heikenen down and the first half was close. The 2nd half CSB decided to start sending in a few from ouside and the game was over. I felt they continued to keep Anna ineffective but at the cost of the rest getting involved. SO-in reality-she was still effective.................

Enjoyed seeing my h.s. post player playing for SMU. Proves that players can excel in spite of what they have for coaching as a h.s. player.

Greatly enjoyed seeing and visiting briefly with Coach D. Tis what I love about sports-the great people I can claim as friends.

Also met the dad of a CSB player. Won't share whick player's dad but he too was pretty classy----I HATE TO ADMIT IT!!!!!

Happy New Year to all and travel with care.

RC

Ain't gonna win many with f/t like that; either team. Missed being there as I always enjoy visiting with Coach D. Any of you Bennies see him, give him a hello from me.

RC

Sheeeeesh--remember when this site was easy to navigate. Need a gps for this old geezer.

Haven't been keeping up on my b.s. on here as the school doubled my class size to save $$$$. I'm overworked and under se-------never mind.

Listened to moments last night and the CSB-Carleton match-up was as most are. I did a camp with Tammy this summer and knew she was high on her first year players and guess it's proving true. Blazer fans--clue me in on the game without tooooooo much biasness:) Hope to make games after Christmas but too much a goin' right now.
