MUC57,

I'm beginning to think you don't click on links when someone posts one. Do you ever?

Thought I would post this here considering the Grant family connections to SJU and the MIAC. The Grants have certainly had an impact on Minnesota sports the last 50 years. It's got to be tough on Bud.

Some may recall that I mentioned this but I was on that UMD team with Bruce Grant. It was a short 1.5 years but what a team UMD had back then with Malosky as coach and a ton of very good football players, most of them more athletically gifted than I was!! Bruce was always a kind, thoughtful guy and I always appreciated that about him. My first thought Faunch was also sympathy for Bud. The stories about Bruce and Malosky are all true, I saw it, lived it and received it myself from coach Mo as we all did. 

My story continued when I transferred to Augsburg before I could be tabbed UMDBench and post witty stuff on the D2 forum.

So a friend with far too much time but a good memory for what we talk about over beers sent me this link to one of those Russian highlight videos on YouTube.  It took me a second to recognize the location.  Everyone loves the Johnnies.  Even Vlad.

I don't think anyone has posted this yet, but UW-Stevens Point Names Breitbach Head Football Coach.  This is MIAC-relevant because SJU's co-defensive coordinator Brandon Novak was a finalist for the job.  I'm glad he's staying put in Collegeville.

Hooray for fellow alumni missing out on promotions!!!

That was a "no lose" situation for SJ2er's. Brandon will have plenty of opportunities down the road. He is a good man and was a heckuva player!

I do! I do! Your last link was terrific. I have been off the boards for a short while. ☠🎬🍺

Language warning but funny as hell.  I bet this guy would make a great contribution to the MIAC boards in the off-season.

Good luck to all MIAC teams this year!

There is a two year old filly named Collegeville Girl running in the fifth race at Saratoga tomorrow.

She won her first race by beating Elegant Zip by 1 3/4 lengths.
Paid:
$20.80 -- $9.90 -- and $6.10

So I can come across this article on the prettiest town in each of the 50 states. And for Minnesota they pick... Brainerd?

I would think Stillwater would be the walk away winner. Or maybe somewhere on the bluffs south of St Paul.  But not Brainerd, surely.

Is there nothing that magical nectar cannot do?

If you find yourself the host of a summer party, it's likely you'll wake up to a dozen half empty beer bottles scattered around the yard. But resist the urge to dump them out! You may be surprised to learn some of the ways you can put those flat suds to use. Use these four beer hacks around your house this summer to get the most out of every single drop:

Don't believe everything you read and see.

I need to pay attention to SJU's o-line a bit more.  Dan Greenheck has been getting some serious accolades, and I am sorry to admit that I'd never heard of him before.
