FB: Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[sjusection105]

I'm going to give the edge this Saturday to UST, due to having more/better prep time.  UWO has had to focus on their next opponent the last two weeks and now has only one week to prepare for UST.  UST has had a relatively easier path to this game and has time to add some wrinkles to their game strategy.  At this level you always have to prepare for the upcoming game and I'm sure UST did plan for their games against Northwestern and Coe, but I suspect they also refined their game as well.  This is not to take anything away from UST, they earned the road they have by virtue of winning their conference, but there's a good possibility we'll see a new stunt, blitz, or offensive play(s) UWO won't have seen on film.

UWO didn't have to focus on Wash U any more than St. Thomas had to focus on Coe. Both fairly one-dimensional offenses focused around a key player.

That pretty much made makes my point.  Wash U was the first round opponent of UWO while Coe was the second round (last weekend) opponent of UST.  UST has had the liberty to work on some new wrinkles more than UWO has, not to mention probably in better health with their starters being able to rest more.  Again, I don't hold this against UST as they earned it by winning their conference, but we might see some new stuff from them should they need it against UWO.

If UST has an edge due to the opponents they have faced, I believe it will striclty be a matter of being able to rest starters and keep them from taking further pounding.  I probably have the least love for UW-O of any poster in the nation (well, except maybe Bobo), but it is impossible not to have respect for Coach Cerroni. He and his staff have been around long enough to "refine" personnel schemes/plays that never make it to film until the playoffs.  Maybe this is the week Coach Caruso dusts off the "back to the end zone" extra point flip.  We haven't seen that one in awhile.

Not that I'm trying to "crash" the MIAC board, but any reason in particular?

Because bleedpurple is a Whitewater fan, as is BoBo, so not liking Oshkosh is second nature.

It's much like the Tommies dislike for the Johnnies. And the Johnnies dislike for laws that require them to marry outside of immediate family.

WACKY WEDNESDAY

Bethel actually made the semis 2 times.

Corrected. Don't know how I missed that. 2007 & 2010.

This is why they put it on the jerseys, to help you remember.

That's not too tacky.

Somewhere out there John Sharkman is rolling his eyes right now.

Guilty.

"Mate" is one of the most flexible words in the Australian lexicon. It can be used in nearly countless ways.  It can mean "friend", "wanker", "I can't remember your name", "you're a great person", "are you listening?", "wtf, man!", "get stuffed", and more.

In this two-minute news interview Queenslander and Aussie Bloke Daniel McConnel uses every one of them.

I just got back from watching "Hacksaw Ridge." Good movie and the battle scenes were unbelievably brutal. What I found interesting, and why I'm bothering, is that the main character's parents, who hailed from SE Virginia,  were both played by Aussies. Hugo Weaving and Rachel Griffiths.

Maybe no one from SE Virginia auditioned for the roles.

McConnel is a great interview.
