Freebird, glad you enjoyed Notre Dame. It is an awesome place for college football. I took my son there in `96 to see the Irish play Ohio State. Both teams were ranked in the top five at the time. There were 100,000 people on campus prior to the game when the stadium only held 60,000. Did you make it to the College Football Hall of Fame in downtown South Bend?

Duffman, classic story about our friends at Tommieland. I hate to admit it, but my sister and sister-in-law are Tommies. We still allow them into the house, as long as they genuflect when they walk in.

Jesse Jackson spoke at St. Olaf College last night....more evidence of the armagedon..... wait a second, maybe he had a closed door meeting with Coach Meidt to discuss trash talkin' superlatives.....

developing....

I will wish the Cobbers good luck in the playoffs.  I also hope they play the Concordia/SJU playoff game in the Metrodome.

First off, while it seems very likely that CC will get a bid, you'd better wish them luck getting into the play-offs first because that is anything but a given right now.  And second of all, why would you wish a game to be in that God-foresaken Metrodome?  It's a terrible venue for small-college football.  7,000 people can barely be seen in that place.  With the turf at SJU, there is no way that possible match-up would be moved to the 'dome.

[Maroon&Gold]

Total agreeance with Duffman, the Metrodome would be one of the last places I would want to see a D3 playoff game.

[DuffMan]

When I was a Jr we played PLU in the Fargodome, and that even sucked.  The Metrodome would be much worse.

play it the "bubble" at Auggie Tech!

Man,

At my age, these 2 night bachelor parties are WAY TOO MUCH!!!!

however, the Saturday night Alma and Alda's cruise on Lake Minnetonka was quality!! 

Me thinks I broke my liver on Saturday.....something about Jag Bombs, and multiple shots of Tequila!!!!

[ritz72]

I still haven't found the cat, yet, that was hiding in our hotel room....


He managed to take a crap in my mouth two mornings in a row!!!

Ritz-
Did you wake up with your underwear on backwards & a quarter under the pillow as well as the foul taste in your mouth
If your answer yes, go see a Dr.
If your answer no, are you being totally honest?

Duff,
I believe it was your sophomore year that we played at the dome on "MIAC weekend"

Horrible place to watch D3 football. SJU had probably 7000+ there and we couldn't hear anything from the other side. I'd rather watch D3 football on TV than in the dome.

[Whoa Nelly]

Would Concordia have any shot at hosting a first-round game?

Not to sound like a smart a$$, but yes they could as long as the NCAA seeds them 1-4 in the West Region. With 1 week to go,any number of things could occur.

Yes - that much I understand  My question was more along the lines of the chances that the NCAA would actually seed them that high - most of you follow this with much more interest and intensity than I do and you seem to have a good grasp on the playoff format. 

Does that mean seeds 5-8 wouldn't host? 

[Whoa Nelly]

Maroon&Gold - have you received tape on Steph-Arg? 

If so - how do they look?

[johnnie_esq]

Pick'em has been updated; also, West region playoff seedings contest announced on the Pick'em page.  Try your hand there to pick who goes where.

TC Chapter is helping with the Stiftingfestivities this week-- the rat pack will be there, as will balloons for the kids.  As JR said, 10am, Tommies parking lot at Summit and Cretin!
