FB: Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[faunch]

I count 45 listed on the Episcopal website.  Does Hopkins have another freak athlete WR to replace McDonald?

In other Lake conference news, St. Thomas isn't the only team adding a new scoreboard this year:

I was going by what I read in the article on the Episcopal roster.  No HHS does not have anybody close to Andre's skill level. 

Scoreboard is necessary extravagance IMO.

[SUMMIT!!!!!]

The Houston team coming to Minnesota has just 22 players but 13 of them have Minnesota connections...kind of crazy.

The article claims Hopkins is 30 miles west of Minneapolis. My trusty odometer clicks it at under 10 from HHS to pretty much anywhere DT Minneapolis, and around 24 to the airport.  But it does sound like the Episcopals have a good trip planned.

A few additional observations....Joe Perkl is the assistant AD.  He and his wife were also featured on the TV show House Hunters.  Also...I believe the Episcopals will be going on an Al and Alma's boat...can we expect the same Love Boat experience that our beloved Purple P_____ Eaters experienced?  ;-)

This isn't new, and no doubt some of you have already heard. Scott Kirchoff, former Bethel QB and current QB coach was diagnosed with double kidney failure a few months ago.

Thankfully his sister is a match and has agreed to donate one of hers. You can read some of the story on cbslocal. I didn't want to throw any info up here without Scotty's permission, but given that he sat down for news story, I'm guessing it's pretty well public knowledge. Please keep the Kirchoffs in your prayers this fall for both the surgery and that Scotty's body would handle the new organ without a hitch. Knowing Scotty, he'll be in great shape as long as they can find some anti-rejection meds that taste like skittles! 

Terrible news, but if anyone can lick this, its Scotty. Hang tough, Scott

Hopefully everyone saw the Sports Illustrated on college football last week. Included in the magazine was SI's football menu. Under the menu for starters was the following: St. John's (Minn.). Cozy 10,000-seat Clements [should be Clemens] Stadium fills with people and the smell of the Johnnie Bread baked by the Benedictine monks who run the place when winningest program in Division III (578-232-24) takes the field.

I liked the fact that they chose to list the 9/15 game... weather permitting, there should be a huge crowd that day!

Envy is on of the Seven Deadly Sins.   

More like sloth, because I get so bored hearing about it my heart rate slows down to near death.

So is cutting of someone's head and putting it in a box.  I think that was the lesson of the movie.

I wonder if there is recruiting value in that SUPER interesting and consistent national coverage of Gagliardi and SJU. One would assume so but I wonder if the AD has tried to measure it.  Is it possible to measure?  Maybe inquiries spike after articles like this?

I would bet that the bread is a much better recruiting tool than the media coverage of the bread.

I would say that wishful thinking has certainly jumped....

Certainly doesn't hurt, but I would doubt that a little blurb like that one really has any positive impact.
