Buncha you guys owe UW-River Falls an apology.

Point of historical clarification: We had already paid to be in the parking lot. The rub was when we moved a picnic table that was there on the grass into a parking space and then we were getting hit up to pay for the picnic table to be in a parking spot. 

Nice recall though Pat. And who was the guy from MUC (not our current MUC57) that used to hang around these parts? I forget his handle. Anyway I was sitting directly behind Duffman during the game and he came and left 2-3 times seated to my right walking right in front of me to get to the aisle and then asked on here a few days later why I wasn't at the game. 

I told him I was sitting right behind Duffman and I had to get up 2-3 times to let you by and he was like, "well I saw Duffman."

Any truth to the rumor that you jacked up prices on Busch Light in RF after that incident?

Never! Anyways stoutguy was there with me and knew the guy trying to strong arm us for a parking fee for the picnic table. He successfully argued that since it wasn't a licensed vehicle it could park for free.

Total for both spots --- somewhere less than $100.

Golly, that's more than I paid for several tickets to Tommie-Johnnie at Target Field a few years ago, a move decried as price-gouging and evidence of the world's decline.

$100 is for the season, though...

Jim Souhan's perspective on how the Tom$ should handle things during their last two seasons in the MIAC. I'm beginning to believe that U$T had every every intention of moving up and orchestrated a large part of this drama in order to garner the sympathy of donors and the NCAA and thus have an excuse of being the victim.

I've maintained this from the get go

Administration to Glenn Caruso: "Glenn, can you beat St. Olaf by 80+ pts so President Anderson gets pissed and rallies the league against us even more than they already are and we get a PR coup in the process of jumping D1?"

GC: "Done, I'll keep it under 100 so it doesn't make national headlines."

Hmmmm, probably not, more likely this version ....

Administration speaking internally "You know GC is slaughtering teams by a wide margin, with trick plays up big, do we need to have a sit down about sportsmanship and what not?" ... "I've been wondering the same thing, but I've got another idea" ... "What's that??" ...  "We offer him a bonus for every 50+ margin of victory game where he doesn't break 100. It pisses the league off, and they preempt our move to D1 by booting us, getting us great PR in the process." ... "Hmmmm, how much is the per game bonus then??"

More likely. GC was just being GC. UST was just winning a lot in a lot of sports. And the COL was just getting to peek "whine and cheese" levels. The perfect convergence of events.

Didn't Raiderguy pass away a few years ago? (asked in all seriousness)

[DuffMan]

SJU's got their preliminary roster posted.  One thing I noticed is that they've move Nick Jensen to DL.  He played blocking back in 2018 (and was quite good at it).  Not a real surprise, though, as the Johnnies have turned a RB into a standout DL on numerous occasions.

If he did, no one told him about it.    Last I recall, he no longer lives in the area.

I thought we kicked St Thomas out of DIII....

They are no out of D III as I understand it but out of the MIAC Conference only. They can try to align with another conference. Some suggestions about the WIAC but I wouldn't think that is not an option since they are not affiliated with Wisconsin schools.
Dumbest thing I have ever seen concerning a schools ability to produce a winning program. I would guess with these guidelines it is only a matter of time before SJU is facing the same challenge. So stop winning SJU or you will be kicked out soon!

LOL, Phew!!

Hazz, you may be thinking of "old pa" a/k/a "janesville flash" that used to post in here a lot. He was a Whitewater guy and was also in attendance at the aforementioned SJU/UWRF/picnic table game. We had quite the collection of posters there that day.

I actually saw that raiderguy was on this site this morning and thought he might chime in. Now that there is a rumor of his demise that might shake him out of the bush.

Raider66 did, though.  But thats been quite awhile. 

Just came to check in on my new favorite D3 team... and glad to see E#2 has taken his rightful place as 1st team AA QB (Preseason).

8 games?
