I heard speculation that the Packers might get rid of Sherman, go after Pete Carroll hard, in hopes of landing Leinert.

Exciting news from MAC....

St. Paul (AP)  Macalester College announced today that they have hired current Minnesota Vixens Head Coach Wayne Erickson to lead the Scots next season.  Erickson, who has had a very successful career with the Vixen, is a surprise choice beating out Adam Johnson, Jim Gagliardi, and Bill Maas.

When asked about his expectations for the next football season, Erickson replied, " Well, I'm used to coaching She-Men with the Vixen.  I am not questioning the masculinity of the Scots, but look at my roster with the Vixens.  They can "Man Up" with any of the guys on the current MAC roster."

When asked if his statements are a challenge for next years team, Erickson stated, "Hell, our best team was 3 years ago, and from what I hear they had this kid with one arm on the team.  If that isnt motivation in an of itself, I don't know what it!!"

...you would only be questioning his ability if you have never really watched him play. 

Did he play last year?  Because I watched the SJU/UmYaYa game and I don't remember anyone special.  I guess we'll see Saturday.  My guess is he couldn't hang on to Dumo's (or any of the Johnnie d-linemen's) jock strap(s).

Duff, Bechdol's defensive stats against SJU last year were as follows:

## Player               Solo  Ast  Tot  TFL/Yds  FF FR-Yd Intc BrUp Blkd Sack/Yds QH
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
95 Bechdol                 5    .    5  1.0/7    .  1-0    .      .    .   1.0/7    .

Duffy - From what my Olaf source had to say about him, Bechdol transferred in last spring from a D2 school to be closer to his woman, who chose to be an Ole. He drives a sweet ride, too. I've seen him play twice now and not been blown away by any means. However, I was also a pansy receiver and said the same thing about Dumo, so I'm probably not the best judge

If we are going to talk disruptive forces along the DL, especially on the interior, I think you have to throw Brent Staples into the mix from GAC (1995-99 I believe). I've heard some crazy stories about how good he was, but never got to see him play.

I am not officially out yet, Frank. I am not officially in yet either though. I should know by late tonight what my deal is. However, my costume will be arriving tonight and it should be classy.

[DuffMan]

Esq, thanks, oh Master of the Stats.  I didn't really care, though

By the way, if we're talking of forces on the d-line, I'm partial to myself

Wonka, is your costume a skirt?  Because it sounds like you already have it on!

If there is a monkey stomp on a cold day while some fans are watching "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom"  Would it then be a

Chilled Monkey Brain Stomp???

Forces, not farces, Duffman.  

Willy, does Bechdol pop the pink collar?

I just had an Ole grad and former Ole player hand me a $5.00 bill outside my office.  He said he was giving the Johnnies 7 points. 
He's got a lot of faith in the old "um ya ya!"

[ritz72]

The threesome of Jim Wagner, Trent Anderson, and Brian Koherst, I still believe have a slight edge on the durrent D-line......

[ritz72]

Any chance Meidt and Johnson are colluding during the week??

Just a thought, not a poke...

[ritz72]

Duff---- Remember  the CMM is an acquired taste, and I am expecting you to have another this weekend!!!

Fins----It's called plausible deniablilty!!!!!

Faunch, I had to give an Ole friend of mine 12.5 points on a case of Hamms...

[DuffMan]

The threesome of Jim Wagner, Trent Anderson, and Brian Koherst, I still believe have a slight edge on the durrent D-line......

Coming from a guy who's seen one game this year  I've only seen tape of that line, so it is hard to say.  One thing they did better was celebrate.  Wagner once showed me a tape of the SJU/UST game where he had 6.5 sacks--man, he had the air guitar jammin' and six-shooters blazing!

OAS, I might take that as an insult from anyone but you.

[Touchdown Tommy]

Ritz,

I am gonna say there is a real good chance of that...

How early is the usual crew getting there Saturday morning?  I was thinking about 9 to get some "Hang-your-Balls" rocking.  What's everyone else thinking.  Bus, you showing?
