80% of statistics are meaningless.

bennie - you should get the Sports Package, then you could watch Minnesota state High School football and see Lapanta and Linneman side by side. Almost makes you want to cry.

Ok have only been on D3 for my 4th year.  I have always wanted to know how the women got the name Bennie?  KR, TDT, or any of the MIAC PP people care to tell the story?  Thanks.

They go to the College of St. Benedict, a.k.a. St. Ben's.

Dutch Fan-  St. John's is an all men's school - Johnnies
St. Ben's is St. John's affiliated all women's school.  They are actually called the Blazer's, but St. Ben's is where they get the name for Bennies

[shakenbake35]

And they're called Bennie's since most of them look like boys .

[shakenbake35]

Don't kill me now you know someone was going to say it.  And right now I'm just "that guy".

[tommi]

And they're called Bennie's since most of them look like boys .

and that is why the St. John's guys want to date them

What the line in Vegas on this one? SJU giving 40?

Ill take that action!

Make it 42...  stomp! stomp! Ooo Ooo Ooo!  Pass the bananas!

[OzJohnnie]

A Tommie "friend" of mine made me give him 31 pts on the game Saturday in order for him to bet.  Is anyone else seeing any action out there? 

The Tommie (who sucks) I know in Sydney won't bet at any odds.  Refuses to race.

[shakenbake35]

Tommi fyi I don't know what karma is but be prepared for yours to take a hit.

Here is my take: Johnnies 38 Tommies 14.

The John's, like usual, have a balanced offense and a stacked defense and the tommies, like usual, suffer from turnovers, poor coaching and play calling, and a lack of "big game big atmosphere" experience.  

That said, the Tommies do have some (although very little) hope.  If, and this is a big if, they can get some first downs, play field position, and not have ANY turnovers, they will keep it close.  Remember that last year the game was much closer than the score.  Without the opening KO return and the turnover to start the second half, it was a very closely played game.  

On the other hand, the Tommies are way worse this year, so all that I just said might not apply.  What do the veteran posters think?

noted shakenbake; i see yours is pretty low.  why don't you let mine get lower than yours one of these times... no your'e right there can only be 1 #1... it hurts, but i'll just tuck it down deep inside

[shakenbake35]

Tommi- you really don't have to tee one up for the Koolaid drinker's like that just cause you ripped them last post  Now be prepared for pages and pages of gloating about the pristine glory that is ST. JOHN'S FOOTBALL and their dominance over the WORLD 

p.s. If your not first your last!

[tommi]

hey shakenbake, i think 24 for us would be a minor miracle.  As always, I hope we win... but... i mean, they are st. john's, they are really good at football... and all male on male action for that matter

[Mr.Shoes]

I was wondering when this guy would actually start sounding like a Tommie. There it is.

To be precise, the College of St. Benedict is a coordinate institution with St. John's University.  In practice, this means co-ed schools together, the only difference is that Johnnies aren't supposed to sleep at CSB, and Bennies not at SJU.  But while awake...
