FB: Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

+k Kubiac. You need to show up more often.  How are things?  Are you home or off somewhere convincing bad guys to be good guys?

I am done with visiting every armpit/cesspool overseas.  I have been back stateside for about 2 years now,  ended up with some severe blood clots that almost took me out.  You must be clairvoyant or something about convincing bad guys to be good, I now work for the DOC haha.

Some of those crims you deal with now are probably just as nuts as the lunatics you dealt with overseas. Dead enders everywhere.  I'm glad your over the clotted and back Stateside, though. More football.

I want to think the MIAC is a top 3-4 conference each year, but this year it has to be top 2 with the WIAC. 

Since BU put a monkey stomp on the Cobbs last weekend, do they do the same to UST without their starting QB?  Too bad about his leg/ankle.  Any Tommies know what the extent of the injury is?  Can he get a medical redshirt?

I'm curious about this too...maybe Pat or someone else who is knowledgable can chime in.

I think the standard is that you have to have participated in 1/3 or fewer of your team's games...so since St. Thomas has a 10 game regular season, and he sat out the Carleton game, he's participated in 4 of 10...which would seem to disqualify him.  However, if they make the playoffs, that adds games to their schedule...do those count?  Say they go 2 games into the playoffs and thus have a 12 game season...meaning he would meet the 1/3 requirement, does it work that way?

It is one-third, but you round up, so one-third of 10 is four.

So that makes UST the early favorite for the 2015 national championship then, right?

Bruns may miss Saturday's game with a foot injury.  Nick Martin may be starting according to Frank's blog.

Late season victories and play-off runs are always influenced by injury. The bye week for the Johnnies can't come soon enough.

[Mr.MIAC]

With an aim to reinvigorate the UST smokefest, here's your new leader.  Any thoughts?

And then there was the basketball game between Augustana and South Dakota State. The security guards were patting down everyone who came into the arena to make sure no one was bringing in any frozen jack rabbits. Evidently the guards missed a few. When the South Dakota State team was introduced before the game, there were a number of frozen jack rabbits thrown out on the floor by fans from Augustana. An experience I will never forget.

My wife's sister/her hubby & one of their sons are Auggie grads, so I have heard a number of those same stories! One year to avoid the pat down, they were forced to plant a few of the jack rabbits in the gym ahead of time. Needless to say, they weren't quite frozen by the time the game started.

With enough newbs here and apologies to the regulars, I will repost a tale I've probably noted before. But in the late '70s/early '80s, the Fightin' Sue officials tried hard to prevent frozen badgers hitting the ice when 'Sconsin was in town. When UND scored and before they could even get the "sieve" cheer going, out flew a frozen Bucky. Turns out it had been carried into the rink dressed as a baby.

and of course the greatest college hockey fight of all time...

A true classic. Think that was at the Great Dane. Sad to see the breakup of the classic pux conferences, although the WCHA had become a bit diluted in recent years,

We might want to take it easy on the J-term talk. We wouldn't want anyone calling this board a J-term "smokefest."

Smokefest...  I bet that was on offer at Macalester.

BA-ZING!

They did have a Cannabis Club at one time.  I had to do some work there, and I stole the sign.  At one point it was hanging on my boss's office door.  The students also used to count down to 4:20 at football games.

....Is Saint Thomas a D2 school under cover LOL!   

I reckon you're right. I wonder if it's time for UST to switch to D2.

Why 4:20?

I was hoping to do a morning pheasant hunt followed by an afternoon at Carleton, then, my little sister decided to have a baby on Tuesday.  So, my plans may have gotten derailed to go and meet my new nephew.  The video feed could come in really handy!

Be forewarned, the HD feed was garbage for the Bethel game. It would buffer, play for 3 seconds, buffer for a minute, play three seconds, buffer for another minute...

It wasn't just me, I know 3 other guys had the same problems. The regular feed was just fine though, didn't buffer once. You'll definitely want to mute it and listen to VOJ though. Announcer was a serious homer. Must have thrown 20 flags from the pressbox that didn't appear on the field. At least with VOJ those flags will get thrown against the Kaniggets
