I humbly ask if the St, Thomas - LINFIELD game is archived and available for reviewing...

[bennie]

Tracy was perfectly healthy until the last couple of series, when they needed Morse to come in and run the clock out. Honestly, I think they missed Chad Vandergriff more that game and he left early on. Vandergriff played Saturday against Linfield but got hurt again.

Respectfully dissagree, neither of the 3 were 100%. Period...

Hate to be that guy, but "neither of the 3"  ?....you are truly a tommie.

+K for that!!

I'll double that and one for you Bennie.  Going to be around Saturday?

I will probably stop in, but I won't be a devoted kickoff to final second fan like I am for Johnnie games!

Wow, looks like a great matchup on Saturday. I've got all of my winter gear ready so I'll be nice and warm, but alas, I'm heading north again, not south. With spear in hand, I must risk life and limb on the ice of Lake Kabetogama to keep my family fed. I'll be kept updated, no doubt, by the tweets from TDT which will be 80% food and 20% football.

Part shameless plug, part public service. For those looking for a team to cheer for if (I'm still saying if; 11 other teams could still collapse) the Vikings don't make the playoffs, take a look out west to the Seahawks. Yes, they're in the worst division and might make the playoffs with a 7-9 record. But...they have a pair of MIACers in prominent front office positions. The general manager John Schneider is a 1993 St. Thomas grad. Trent Kirchner is the assistant director of pro personnel. He's a 2000 St. John's grad (and a Fulda native, sorry Bennie). I have a story on Kirchner (and other Johnnies in sports) in the next SJU Magazine. For those who didn't graduate from SJU or don't have a kid who went there or didn't contribute a million dollars, well, you'll just have to imagine what the story's like. Or, I suppose, read it online.

Finsleft, is it too early to start promoting the annual International Eelpout Festival, Feb. 18-20, in Walker? Go to eelpoutfestival.com for the details. The biggest outdoor keg party in the state!

Pat,

"The issue is as much the internet connection and MN Sports Network as it is video production." 

The issue is 100% the internet connection as far as I can tell.  I was an early adopter of MN Sports Network and they have improved every single year.  I watch and listen to many other enents and my experience is whenever their is an issue, it is an infrastructure, i.e., network issue.

I wait in eager anticipation of the announcement for the 2020 World Cup.  When I awake tomorrow morning I'll know if it's the US or Oz.  Boy, I sure hope we win.  How exciting will it be to hear the constant the droning of vevuzula's on the streets of Melbourne for three months?

I reckon I should go buy me some of them things if we win.  After sharpening the blowing end, I bet I could spear three soccer loving hippies on each horn that I buy.  I could make my own little zombie apocalypse movie.

Dear God, let that have been a one-time South African fad!

Vuvuzelas are the work of the devil!

  You make snoopdawg look like a level-headed father just following the game.

What's the scoop with Snoop? Is his kid out of eligibility yet? Last I remember he was playing at a school in North Carolina... please expand Oz

OK -- it may be that I have only tried to watch UST events.

He's at West Carolina, played very little on a losing team, and so far as I know his eligibility is over.  Just another kid with good skills who chose the meat-grinder of D-1 and who will wish he had stayed with D-3.

I certainly don't know his reasons for going across the nation, but why not stay closer to home & play at some place like Sacramento State?

+K for that. I make room in my life for a few hours of US soccer every 4 years, I don't feel I should be subjected to that.

His high school coach signed on as an assistant at West Carolina and apparently talked him into going there.  Shortly after snoop's son committed, they also signed a qb transfer from South Carolina.  The end result was very little playing time for snoop jr.
