FB: Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[faunch]

D3football.com has published their first bracketology. I'll steal no thunder, it's quite a good article, except to say this: they have done this board no early post-season favours but they are projecting the most supercharged Staggbowl that has ever and may ever be played if the MIAC teams keep winning.

I like the idea of putting teams from the same conference in different brackets.  The best thing the MSHSL league did was go to the 32 team big school playoff and they seeded conference teams in different brackets.  We almost had two teams from the same league in the championship.

An article on d3football.com is such obvious troll bait for this board that I can't help but think Pat had a little smile on his face as he hit the approve button.

Is that smart phone video of the video showing on a laptop?

Almost had two schools from the same school district in the championship!

I would imagine it would be some combination of both.

So, behind-the-back passes by the third-string guys?

I've been scouting SJU practices this week.  SJU has a play that might get even more publicity than the one U$T ran.
It's kind of a double reverse pass. 
The holder is going to pitch the ball to the kicker...the kicker will hand off to the right end who has peeled back and is running an end around the left side of the line.  He's going to sell the run however instead of throwing the ball behind his back he is going to throw it between his legs to the kicker in the opposite corner of the end zone. 
2 pts on the PAT and we will get it on film for the playoffs. 

The other fake is fumblerooski...the unique thing is that the first team D are the ones that have been working on it.  Should be great fun!!!

That is true...would have been fun.

lot of parity in high school football this year.  East Ridge has won their last 3 playoff games by a combined 11 points and Osseo looked absolutely ordinary a month ago getting beat by a 4-5 Centennial team 38-7.

The Rolex question is complicated. I am in the if you want one, and can afford one, get one camp.

Personally though, I wonder why someone would get one now. It is no longer a timepiece, it is a fashion accessory, and something that tells people something about the wearer. If you don't mind that some will think of you negatively, go ahead. It says as much about them, as you wearing a Rolex says about you. Envy is also a Cardinal Sin.

We recently experienced a death in the family and the engraved watch will be a way to memorialize the person. Rolex entered the picture because it seems like a "lifelong" sort of watch. That being said, I'm actually leaning toward this model:

Duffman, I suppose the stupidity of purchases is all relative. I spend far too much money on mechanical German cameras, a hobby most friends don't get. My buddy just dropped over $40K on this watch to recognize his promotion at work. Most of us think it's borderline mental.

All this talk of fakes and trick plays.

Go to the 1:28 mark of this clip.  Can a penalty really be called for "trying to deceive"

Some of these calls are really questionable?

Congratulations Pat Coleman- here you thought all this talk about beer,ice fishing, deer hunting, watches and the like was worthless. Well, the MIAC board is the first to hit 5,000 pages. The other regional boards are lucky to be near 3,200 pages. Thanks to the good old MIAC & their eclectic tasted in discussion

Congrats MIAC posters! That's a lot of wasted cubicle time.

Post migration. We'd be at 50,000 if the world of numbers still counted. But it kinda adds to the mystique
