What time is Glen's film session Monday night?!?!

Want to meet me there?  I'm on winter break this week.  Let's roll in 2003 Natty Champ apparel.  Ok...that might be a dick move...I'd rather go to a nice bar in town.

In all honesty I thought this game would be closer....actually thought U$T might win it. 
Why did they abandon the run game in the second half?  Am I wrong but they threw the ball up way too much.  Tommie$ appeared to panic...ran the ball down the throats to the left side in the first half and then bailed on it in the second. Out played or out coached???  I actually thought the Tom$ were better than what they demonstrated in Salem tonight.

Chi-Tommie...have a single malt on me...make it a Bowmore!  Best damn Scotch on the planet!

Congrats to the Tommies for a highly successful season and an entertaining Stagg Bowl. 

And in deference to some of my other MUC backers, I picked up a modicum of respect for Coach Caruso.  Quite imaginative.  Hope to see him again soon.

Safe travels and best Holiday Wishes.

God damnit. God ****ing damnit.  Mount is so good.  So good. But whisky is fnatsic. So theres that. UST obviously the second best team in the country, but damn, the climb from 2 to 1 is steeper than this flass damn. UST.

Wm4 nailed it - "Take UST and the under, lock."

Oh, wait.

Yeah, don't listen to that windbag ha. Mount was just damn solid, congrats to them. Congrats to the Tommies as well, amazing ride this season, a privilege to watch.

Very impressed with UMU. I thought that when the Toms got up 14 - 0 early, it might rattle them. No panic, just good football by very good athletes. Toms ended up with not enough to overcome Mt's big plays.

Also good to see VK get his first Nat.Champ. It's always tough for a protege, in this case, son to follow in the footsteps of a legend. Good for him. Maybe now, he's more than Larry Kehres' son.

Wow.  After that first quarter, I thought 2$T was going to take it to UMU.    Congrats on a solid season, Toms.

How ridiculous was that fumble recovery TD for Gould?  And that onside kick was executed to perfection.  It was good to see the fake FG snuffed in the 2nd half-- St. G runs it so much, my 4-yr old knew it was coming.  There comes a point when it loses its effectiveness.  And for once, I was pleased with the officiating.  Amazingly, U$G (yes, U of $t. Glenn) managed no personal fouls!!!

So, congrats Raiders, and congrats Toms (still only bridesmaids).

That was an entertaining game-tough for the ust seniors.
Guess only one championship for Loyola guys this year.
Duff-can I get an ice fishing update? And beer update-I did get some double porter from bemidji brewing-won a silver medal and one of the co-owners is a Bennie!

Congrats to UST for a great year!

-can I get an ice fishing update?

Zip, it's been too warm....open water on most of the central MN lakes. Single digit temps last night,but mid-30's scheduled for next week again. El Nino

Caruso is the whiniest, most self-serving coach I have seen.  So not a fan, and I am a bit miffed that Mount didn't put one in at the end of the game to really stick it to Saint Glen.  Thank goodness VK (and probably LK), had much cooler and mature heads then moi.

ROTFLMAO, you haven't seen them lose.

Congrats UST on a great year. Impressive run. Even up 14 I was thinking, Mount can score so fast...

Mount. Their D was very good. Their offense was exceptional. Their play calling on offense was even better. The way they started to adjust to UST's blitzes by spreading things out and then running right back up the middle was just great scheme work.

Caruso has guts. Some of those calls, man. He definitely came into this with a plan to use every bullet he had in his arsenal.

Fumble by Waldvogel was killer. UST needed to respond and keep in contact. Instead they gave Mount the short field and Mount went for the jugular.

in a word: Classless - we can debate on here what is classy and isn't. But re-reading the junk they were posting all game in the MIAC In Game Updates board was just ridiculous. I don't know what it is about getting your butts handed to you the week before (NB: I've been nothing but respectful towards Linfield up to this point) that makes you think coming onto another conferences board to rub salt is kosher. SO, you're mocking UST all game long, but keep in mind, if they lost to Mount in that fashion, what does Linfield lose by? Double Monkey Stomp...Double Stomp Out?  Honestly, I don't get it. Best line was one of them saying something like 'Welcome to the Machine.' Right, because Linfield has so much experience, much less success, against Mount?!? UWW can say that. SJU can say it if they want to reach back 12 years. Linfield has no business.

There's a sort of little crony complex with some (Wildcat11 and others excluded) of these Linfield fans. Think 'A Christmas Story' and Scott Farkus' little toadie. 'Hey, since we've never beaten SJU, lets kiss up to them incessantly and mock their rivals. Maybe they'll let us keep sitting at the cool kids table.'

You should just be happy that their posts were coherent. Mostly.

Get ready to be Karma sniped daily by them for the foreseeable future. Even when you don't post for days. I've accepted my fate will continue by posting this.

Did we lose some posts or did I dream them?

Agreed on the onside kick!
Is it legal for the receiving team to smoke the kicker before he runs ten yards? That would be the best way to defend that kick.  It's very clever and well designed onside kick that could lead to a kicker getting destroyed. If I had to prepare for it I would have one of my front line guys absolutely annihilate the kicker...just wondering if the receiving team is allowed to make contact before the ball and kicking team goes ten yards.
