And you can drink beer at the ball game! 

You can drink beer on the Tundra after the game, too!

I predict...#26 Gustavus  (+10.5) will upset @ #14 St. John's.  Hendrix's passing game looks unstoppable! He leads all division III in passing.  Don't get me wrong as as Tommie fan that game coming up for UST scares the crap out of me.

I don't think UST has anything to worry about until they hit the late rounds of the playoffs.

Gustie fans are welcome to join us for the Stiftungsfestivities tailgate party in the parking lot above the scoreboard end of the field before the game. We usually get going around 10:30 a.m. with the tailgating but are there much earlier to do some socializing and enjoy the adult beverages. I picked up twenty jello shots to bring along.

[GoldandBlueBU]

I really don't think UST has anything to worry about...their last four games will very likely go the same way as last year's last 4, with Bethel being more vulnerable than last year, IMO.  UST is improved by quite a lot over last year, SJU is probably a little better, CC appears improved...so unless the Gusties have made great strides, they're a paper tiger.

They couldn't stop Sura last year. Can they stop him this time around?

SJU has an O-line that is being held together with duct tape & baling wire. Hopefully the bye week has helped some of the big boys get back to at least 80%. They are a tough bunch,but you can't get much push when 3 guys are trying to play with bad wheels.

I suspect SJU will handle GAC much like UST handled Augsburg last week. UST ran the ball almost 40 times. Augsburg still won the TOP, but the entire first quarter it was just Roberts and Kaiser shouldering the load and eventually UST's receivers started popping open. If you can just let Sura go to work in the first quarter, Simon and Bungum will get theirs in the 2nd and 3rd and by the 4th the game will be out of GAC's reach. SJU's pass defense will be unlike anything GAC has seen this year.

[OldAuggie]

I'm with ROR.  If SJU can grind it out and keep the GAC off the field, they'll win.  I have confidence.

My 4-year old son is overly excited for Saturday.  Not so much for the game, but he knows there are bouncy houses on the Tundra following the game.   

Then you will be at the bouncy house before the third quarter is over...
Last year I thought GAC would give SJU a tough game but it did not work out that way. I recall it was close in the first half but SJU opened it up in the second half after adjustments were made I assume. Hard for GAC or AUG to beat one of those top tier teams. SJU wins this game Saturday even with Mitch "Jimi" Hendrix as the GAC QB.

[OzJohnnie]

Every time I read 'bouncy house' here Lamar Odom's face comes to mind.

Drinking premium lager at the Moto Grand Prix. It's a hard life but someone has to live it.

[DuffMan]

Is that similar to Grainbelt Premium?

Battle for The Goat Saturday! I did a little digging and it turns out St. Olaf leads the series with Carleton 49-45-1. Well, here's to hoping that the Knights can win the next five straight and take control of the series. Go Knights! Beat Olaf!

On a side note, wouldn't it be a little more interesting if the final week in the MIAC was rivalry week?

Yes it would, but it's not going to happen. It's simply too cold at the end of the season to get large crowds of people sitting on cold benches.

Will the game be measured using the metric system this year?

Huh - I nailed two of the Games of the Week on this week's Triple take. I guess even a blind dog finds a bone now and then.
