Reminds me - did that military vet who was on the roster ever end up seeing any playing time for SJU?

It's possible I'm missing him, but I think he was removed from the website roster sometime during the season...so I'm guessing no?

[SUMMIT!!!!!]

It's been so long since I've heard -- is this the guy from Western Kentucky?

Graydon Kulick!?!

My sleuthing confirms this.
Breck kid, spent some time at Davidson, then went to Western Kentucky.
Dad played at Gustavus, mom played tennis at Olaf.
Graduated high school in 2015, so he's about 25 now, ideal age for a Johnnie QB.

Kinda young for the John's...wasn't Ryan Keating in his late 30s when he finally hung up the cleats?

Nice of you guys to rag on a young man. 

I recall a lot of jabs at JW Windsor, too.  He turned out to be a great pickup for SJU.  I met him a few weeks ago, and he is a fine young man.

I don't know that "young" is the word I would use for someone the same age as law school graduates.

Hey now!
25 used to be old, when I was in 4th grade. Now I'm... a bit beyond that, and my parents aren't even really old anymore
(most of their grey went away once I was out of the house)

I've spent a little time the last few days perusing old posts (from waaaay before my time), including the early days of AO and the UMAC board. Wow. This is good stuff. I always wondered why his +k was so bad when I thought he was a mostly reasonable poster these days.

I think it might be just a few years before you do start to see maybe a Westminster or Northwestern beating a ranked team.

How many ranked Ws does Northwestern have in football now?

  I never said which ranking I was talking about. 

Also, Wheaton is coming to town in September.  Putting out an early upset alert right now.

The Curly Bill analogy is apt. Wyatt Earp stood up for Curly during his trial, then Curly stabbed him in the back by ambushing Earp. Curly Bill ended up taking one in the gut from Wyatt Earp. Curly Bill died painfully and slowly after he crossed Wyatt Earp. Seems like the general direction the MIAC is headed in. And, don't sell Augie Tech short OA, someday Curly and the gang might allow Augie to do something more than polishing their boots.

Isn't St. Thomas Curly in this analogy?   The Tommies went on trial and one of their programs might die.

I may be wrong, but in the "it's a small world" department, didn't Jackson Erdmann's dad (Jeff) and Graydon Kulick's dad (John) play football together down at Gustavus???

Education is a huge export industry for Australia.  It's been nurturing the upper class Chinese market for years. Melbourne University, my #1's school, has at least 40% international students. #1's course of Commerce, similar to a bachelor of science in business, has a little over 50% of the student body from Asia, predominantly China.

Well, CV hasn't broken out in Australia (some tourists in Queensland were rounded up and the other cases have all come from people in quarantine after returning from the cruise ship in the Japanese harbour).  But the travel restrictions and quarantines have devastated attendance at the universities and the force majeure withdrawals have devastated the coffers. So Melbourne University have today offered Chinese students a $7000 cash payment to cover travel, quarantine, food, etc, in order to encourage those students to figure out a way to get to school.

Australia had pursued economic partnership with China to a huge degree and great benefit (the last recession in Oz was 1991, not even the 2008 financial crisis sent us backwards). China getting it in the neck, though, is going to be extremely hard on the Oz economy.  I hope the world soon settles in "this is a really bad flu but let's just get on with it."

Cindy and I are supposed to be headed for Italy in April hope this all gets figured out.

I'm due to go to London for work in a couple of weeks - curious if that'll end up being cancelled or not.

Edit: and a now the meeting is cancelled, so that was fast...

I'm holed up in bed the sickest I've ever been in my life the last two days.  I had spent two weeks with someone down from Singapore and was afraid I had been coronavirused but I'm pretty sure is just nasty food poisoning from lunch Thursday.

Anyway, good luck Bob.  You'll be using hand santizer non-stop. i reckon.

It looks like Bartch isn't working out at the combine, just interviewing.  He's still nursing a minor knee injury from the senior bowl workouts.  He'll do his workout numbers at the Minn pro day.

Best of luck! I've got a coworker who sits 2 feet away from me who is supposed to go to Venice/Northern Italy/Rome in two weeks...I'm selfishly hoping that it gets cancelled. Don't think he would mind too much either, though!

Hey, as a valley girl might say: "Italy is to die for!"

Who is this QB kid who transferred in to St John's last year but had back injury all year?

"back injury" aka, we're pretty set at QB for 2019, but would love to see you get an extra year of eligibility
