MBB: Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[SUMMIT!!!!!]

daily double....

Anyone who claims UST was roughing up Auggie last night should have been at the game-- McCoy spent a good 5 agonizing minutes on the floor after getting popped good to the sternum, Viau was mugged but survived and drew the offensive foul-- it was a phsyical game, both teams were to blame.

Mr Cassens learned a lesson he shoulda learned as a FY. Midway thru the 1st half, he felt he was mugged on an offensive possession (and he probably was, but no call was made)...he spent about 10 seconds beefing to a ref as they went downcourt for defense. He promptly got whistled twice in less than a minute (I think) for fouls-- bang bang.

First of all – we can tell who has dates on Valentine's Day. My excuse – Valentine's Day is for amateurs.  Love is everyday.  C-R-A-S-H!  And that's the sound of a lamp bouncing off my forehead.

Well, well, well, I thought if a poster would stump me on Old Testament trivia it would come from the future man of the cloth, Concordia of the North, or his occasional running mate – BleedNavyBU, not from some irreverent, pseudo wine connoisseur, wisecracking Catholic.  Do Catholics even read the Bible? 

You sorta got me stumped here Mose.  Back in the day, Papa Drake used to ask - when basketball was first mentioned in the Bible.  Kids & adults alike would answer – "duh, I don't know. " He would reply – "when spittle dribbled down Aaron's beard." You could always count on a groan or two. Thanks to Google – I believe the text can be found in I Samuel 21:13.  If that's not what you're referring to, I don't have a clue.

[SUMMIT!!!!!]

nope, no reference to Samuel. I'm not that "versed" on the Bible either (just couldnt resist the pun)

[Mr. Ypsi]

Drake, I believe you have been made the 'front man' (or perhaps 'muscle') for Mose(s) - though it is also certainly possible that this post has made me Balaam's Ass.

BTW, I have the great good fortune of having a wife who feels that Valentine's Day is a 'Hallmark Holiday' - better ignored than celebrated.  I may not be too smart, but I married well!

Yeah, all this old Sunday school stuff is swirling around in my head, but I still don't have a clue what he's talking about.  However, I do take credit for assigning Maniac his alter-alter screen name of "Mose(s)", which is a variation on Methuselah, the oldest man in the Bible.

I do recall we had a Biblical conversation on here a few years ago when the then new karma/smiting feature of D3Sports was released.  If brain cells are semi-firing correctly, there was an Old Testament dude that took the jawbone of an ass, Balaam's I believe,  & was "smiting" the Lord's enemies. Mr. Ypsi - let's hope you haven't become a lethal weapon. 

And it does sound like you married well.

what did you say miacmaniac?

oh ok...i heard you that time 

[concordia of the north]

balaam was a false prophet who came to the nation of Israel (meaning the churches not the geographical region) urging them to comfortably assimilate into the surrounding pagan culture through eating meat sacrificed to idols and sitting to supper with pagan business men.  In response, God gave the power of speech to balaam's ass to humble and expose the prophet as a buffoon.

aaron was the mouthpiece of moses, the leader of the jewish exiles.  though moses was certainly empowered by God, he was shy of public speaking so his kin, Aaron, was provided by God to speak for and defend Moses publicly.

chicks dig it.

There's a big difference between two players colliding while scrambling for a rebound, (when McCoy went down) and the cheap shots Archer was dealing. Archer had a blatant elbow to the neck of an Auggie after he tried to sweep the legs on a three point shot. It's all on the game films. Archer clearly waits for the Auggie to come up court and throws the elbow. Bush, very bush. Cassens only complained to the refs after the cheap shot, which occurred right in front of the Auggie bench and a ref, with no call. That's what I would expect from a captain.

Drake – Griess handled the incident fine. Archer was recruited by Augsburg and Griess knows the talent the kid has. He was just disappointed that he's stooping to the lowest form of play. Archer's play and antics are an embarrassment to Fritz and the Tommie program. I'm surprised Fritz doesn't try to control his behavior as the kid obviously has talent. Unfortunately, Archer is the self proclaimed Dennis Rodman of the MIAC, doing anything to garner attention, including the worst cheap shots, flops, the trash talk, and general arrogance. Unfortunately, he can't back it up like Rodman. (1-5 from the field, 1 rebound in 16 minutes).

Griess calmly talked to Archer for several minutes after the game and ended the conversation with a pat on the back. No real excitement around the conversation.

The refs were terrible and completely let the game get out of hand. Very inconsistent. Definitely some home cookin'.

On the other hand, Robinson should be a heavy favorite for All MIAC defensive team. I've seen him play several times and is one of the best defenders I've seen.

BTW, the Tommies I talked to after the game said no one can stand Archer. He's generally seen as a problem by his own fans.

Very good points CON..

Who used the jawbone of an ass to smite down the Lord's enemies?

seen him play or been handcuffed by him, Jon? What was the time lapse between whistle 1 & 2 on you?  Possible MIAC record? 

[concordia of the north]

that's samson, the herculean judge. judges and prophets shared power before Israel begged for a king.  samson was the one who could never cut his hair. possible icon for your all-hair team?  once he revealed the source of his power to a scarlet woman, delilah, she conspired to cut his hair and sap him of his powers so the philistines could imprison him.

maybe our floppier miac boys fear a similar fate?

Valentines day just goes to show how women can control our lives.  Which is why i am on late.  What is the bigger fall.  projected 3 and end up at 11 or projected 1 and end up at 7 or 8.  Hamline fell 8 spots, and Bethel may only fall 7.  But which one was the bigger let down?

[TommieHoops4Life]

Dawg Dude,

I respected your skills in high school, but you're nothing short of pathetic for posting on here and making us think you're somebody other than who you really are. Wait till you get your degree, then feel free to post.

I've known Teddy Archer since he was about 12 years old. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few things happen on the court in the heat of the moment, but the kid is a class act off the court.

Judges was always my favorite book of the Bible.

I believe the verses we're looking for are:

Judges 15:15-16
Judges 16:17

Man, that religion minor was definitely worth it

TH4L - If no one else was at the game and people are spouting trash, I don't mind a player (who's posted before) chiming in with what actually happened. Besides, he agrees with my assessment of Robinson's D, so I have to like him

At least he didn't go DeRock on us and predict like 5 straight wins to squeak into the playoffs...

Judges was always my favorite book of the Bible.

Apropos of nothing, one of the all-time cleverest album titles in music history is Lyle Lovett's Joshua Judges Ruth.
