Tommies got in?
A Johnnie said that MAC sucks more than UST?

What is going on?!

This is a serious question: how many points does UWW want to score this weekend?  Is there a line out yet? I'd put it at 63 1/2.

It's not Vegas or anything similar, but over on the OAC pick-em board mr_mom has it at 42.5

I bookmarked that post, hazzben. Very good.

I wish the Johnnies well in their playoff endeavors. We Tommie folk might not have to get out and shovel the field, as we pay people to do that bit. However, in this post-season run, we are going to have to take it one day at a time.

Since St. Thomas got into the playoffs, I wonder if that will change who Bethel schedules for non conference games in the future. Obviously overall record carries more weight for a Pool C bid than SOS since Bethel not only beat St. Thomas head to head their SOS was about 100 points more. I'm sure if Bethel had scheduled an easier non conference opponent than Wartburg and won that game then Bethel would have been the Pool C bid and not St. Thomas.

Do they get to drop Augsburg? That's the game that was the problem for Bethel.

I heard a rumor. My grapevine tells me that Ramler v Fasching is a bubbling, emotional grudge match. Apparently Ramler took the last handful of Oreos the day he walked out of the Palestra and no one has forgiven him. Ramler, for his part, is pretty pissed off too because allegedly the defensive coaching staff ate all the double stuffs earlier in the afternoon and there where just a couple crappy regular Oreos left in the bowl at the end of Ramler's last day.

Also, TDT can't spell Oreo and he courageously thinks the tommies will make the semis this year.

Is Wartburg that good or is the IIAC down a bit this year? 

Their D is fast. Their front 4 are really quick and explosive. No one as good as Vince King (DT from 2003). But he was all world and maybe the best interior D-lineman I've seen in person at the D3 level.

Duff,  are you going to sit there & take this? Obviously he forgets #72 for SJU 1999-2002

I was thinking the same damn thing, 105. Hazzben is a great guy and all but this is down right rude.

Is Wartburg that good or is the IIAC down a bit this year? 

Yes and yes.

Wartburg is good. They brought a ton back from the team that played Bethel tough in the playoffs last year. They have some good WR's, a very good QB and a solid Oline (1 preseason AA).

Their D is fast. Their front 4 are really quick and explosive. No one as good as Vince King (DT from 2003). But he was all world and maybe the best interior D-lineman I've seen in person at the D3 level.

I think it's an intriguing matchup. UST with Kaiser and Gould should be able to move the ball. But they'll need to play well on D against Warburg's offense. They've got some good, long wideouts who can stretch the field.

The other piece is, Warburg knows how to play and win in the playoffs (from their coaches to their players). UST obviously does as well, but this isn't like some good teams that you might face who aren't accustomed to playoff atmosphere.

I love the fact that you made a bar graph! 

ChicagoTommie: Bar?!?  Did someone say bar?

Gold, pure gold! Have we ever had someone on these boards more prone to the drunk post? Or better yet, the drunk multi-post?

I think we need to come up with some 'monkey stomp' labels for drunk posts.

Hammered Grammared = the alcohol induced grammar train wreck

I hope we meet up the johnnies and kick their asss!!!! it about time for some retribution

OR

Yah baby let's go! Tonmies in

Plastered Profanity = filterr...watz ah filther:

I hope we meet up the johnnies and kick their asss!!!! it about time for some retribution

Inebriated Inscrutability = so drunk we have no idea what you're trying to say

Won my bet again Danm Cutler made me whole!!?

OR

Hey a$$ chezz  we have hope like Obama!!!!!

Tanked Truthfulness = alcohol induced honesty

Yah I know I Am an ass can't help my self

Sometimes you get what you deserve! Will be at Gibsons tonight for a steak with some of my clients my wife has me on double probation so I will be on my best behavior, I think😜 the Tommies are going to Milan Italy to play this June. I booked my flight with my wife yesterday 12 days bouncing around the Mediterranean! Can't wait😄

Congratulations Blase Joseph Cupich!!! The new archbishop of Chicago, he is being ordinated today...and soon to be Cardinal, once appointed by the Pope...Yes he is a UST graduate. Maybe he could put a good word in to the big guy and give the Tommies some divine intervention for this Saturday😄!

Go blessed Tommies!

Only 20 more posts until you can pass out karma, CT. Another night of Laphroaig Islay and you're golden.

It's bad enough to get looked over by the selection committees for all-conference, all-region, and all-American teams, but this latest slap-in-the-face by Hazzben really hurts.

Although true part of the reason is your attendance requires less accessible seating. You'd have to at least double your budget to account for SJU level attendance. And also be hosting a game.

Yeah, you've got roughly 60 guys on a playoff roster.  Figure Mom, Dad, and a sibling for each player, and you only need to clear < 200 seats for U$T fans.  I guess you'd want to clear some for the visitors, as well.  Just to be MN nice.
