re-read what tdt wrote about bethel not being able to compete on the national scene and replace Bethel with St. John's.  that's all I'm saying. 

I wasn't aware that Northwestern College allowed, let alone encouraged, recreational crack cocaine use.  How does TDT saying that Bethel is not a legitimate contender on the national level (let's face it, there is, at most, 3 of those this year) imply that St. John's is?  No one is saying that. 

This is not a shot at Bethel--they've taken a huge step in the right direction this year.  Now they've seen what the top team looks like.

I wish AO's posts would start with a disclaimer that he is from Northwestern.  

Looks like he unhooked the link to his website.

I love the fact that the Bethel folks are trying to distance themselves from the Northwestern folks!  I don't know AO at all, and make no judgements.  I just love that the Bethel backer is effectively saying, "he ain't with me!"

Bethel held the ball for almost 11 minutes in the 3rd quarter to 4 for MUC - so obviously MUC scores 7 to BU's 0.  How frustrating must that be. 

But now they've seen the Mount and now they know - I expect this experience to be a positive one for the Royals overall.

Making it this far can only be a positive.  More practice as LAB stated and should help with recruiting.  Now we know how we stack up and how much farther we have to go.  I am extremely proud of what the Royals have accomplished this year.

The announcers must be monitoring this site.  They just said the same thing.

I believe the website is down.  I'm all for full disclosure.  Come and hunt me down.  Andrew Olson 2799 Rustic Pl.  55117

with the commentary on Flannery - I was redshirted at UWEC my freshman year there. It was not honored in the MIAC as we do not allow redshirts (medical hardships, yes, but not pure redshirts).  Do the OAC teams redshirt their freshmen? How about UMHB's conference?  Is the MIAC the only conference represented in the final four that does not redshirt the first year players?

Will I know it by your photo on the front door?

Disregard the fact that I AM THE WHITE SILLY for a second...honest, serious, real question here...being that I have never played past junior high football, how would Mount Union fair in Division 1-AA?  Any good guestimates would be good.

(not)

need my phone number too, so I can come wave at you if you get close?

I believe Redshirts are not allowed anywhere in D3 now, exception for Medical hardship though....

Royals get on the board.

how is anybody going to compete with Mount this year.  Bethel might have been able to beat a whitewater or Mary Hardin-Baylor.  How is this not competing on a national scene?  St. John's was right up with Bethel this year, save for 3 points at Bethel and a tough game down in Pella.  Out of 220 teams Bethel has done quite well.

For the love of Mary, Martha and Joseph (had to use the Biblical reference)  could you please stop inhailing car exhaust fumes.......you are absolutely dillusional.  Keep believing that Bethel was better than everyone else......BTW just scored the moral boosting TD down by 55.

Yep, I believe you are correct.  The change was made a couple years ago.
