I don't see this happening.
How would recruiting speech go, "If you come to UST you will be part of a team will challenge for a national title but at the same time won't beat any conference opponents by more that 2TDs. Whataya say? You in?"

I don't think it's the size of the victories but the spirit (or poor spirit as argued in the article) in which those thrashings are administered.

The article doesn't quote anyone, even anonymously, that claims this is the issue, though. The author merely asserts it. While I'm very willing to believe the issue is as per the article, the article has no more credibility than if I wrote it.

I have to say I'm really impressed at how message disciplined all the schools have been about this, despite the keen public interest.  No leaks, no insider quotes. Nothing since that reusse article that quoted Johnson. It makes me think the vote will be to stay. If it were a vote that kicks out UST then I would expect a lot of positioning in the press to justify the vote in advance.

And here I was thinking that it was you that wrote the article, Mr McFeely, based on some of the wording and the angle used.

Funny you say that. I thought he could have cribbed it from these boards. His concluding paragraph is the same point and has the exact phrasing of hazzben's second point in his epic summary post from a few days ago.

Johnnie Athletics is conducting the Go Johnnies Challenge today. What is it? A one day online fundraiser to support varsity and club teams at SJU. Donors can select the team they want their dollars to go to and how much each sport raises is tracked. So far over 850 donors have raised over $211k.

If you root for the Johnnies I suggest making a donation. A lot of donations, regardless of amount, go towards unlocking additional match donations. Go Johnnies!

In part, yes. Although this part:

The problem is, nobody saw fit to actually say, "C'mon, Glenn" to Caruso himself. If his bosses at St. Thomas did, Caruso ignored them. Other league coaches could've gathered the fortitude to do so, but apparently didn't. None of the opinionators in the Twin Cities media care enough about the MIAC, if they know it exists, to skewer Caruso.

suggests to me they can't actually read these boards.

Oh man. You've got me tempted, but I've gotta keep my donation funds in escrow in case I need to help fund some D2/D1 scholarships.

Last 2 times I've been there, I find myself reflexively looking over after a key play for the replay.

Only 1 honored? The Johnnies had 20.

and UST had 18 I think. Oles didn't have that many. I guess we know who the real academic powers in the MIAC are now.

Or where it's easy to hold a high GPA.   




Settle down already, I'm kidding.

+k for that subtle dig at a Johnnie "education"

[Mr.MIAC]

Any chance UST will vote to leave the MIAC on the 18th?
