FB: Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[MonroviaCat]

I've noticed over the years there is no OAC in game-updates board.
I went where the action was.

MonroviaCat and CalCat started discussing on the NW update board. We have no way of knowing if the went over to MU-B. If they did then they were your polite "I'm not saying anything about classless" guys.

I cannot speak for desertcat1 rooting for UMU.  I'm guessing it's because he went to an UMU game and they treated him well. I posted before the game I was rooting for the West.  I was.  I'm still allowed a little fun as long as I don't violate the PC rules listed at the bottom of his posts.  For this PC allows those who don't care for loud obnoxious - and harmless dudes - to smite us.

Don't go dragging CalCat and I into this.  If you review our "discussion" that was a week ago and I don't think we had much to say about 2 pt conversions.  You're on your own here (well until Bluenote wakes up and decides to "have your back").

I'm not going to suggest it isn't allowed, just that it was rather obnoxious and somewhat classless.

UST holding steady at between a 4.5 and 5.5 underdog in Vegas...

Opened at 3.5. So the betting is presumably heavier on Mount. Makes sense given their history and dominance. What surprised me is the over under. Last I saw it was at 64.5. That's nine touchdown to be shared. I don't think the two defenses get nearly enough credit. A lot of attention is on the offense.

Take UST and the under, lock.

Hope you didn't bet the house.

One more thought on the game:  T. Scott made some ree-diculous throws. Amazing arm strength, too.  The kid's a gamer.

What I found most disgusting from last night was all the Village People construction workers in the UST section.  Yikes.

Good article by Reusse this morning. Much to think about.

Patrick should have had someone proof read it for him.  I'm not an English or Journalism major but I can see where there are words missing in the story.  He claims in the story that he did a read through looking for errors...oops.

"I don't the complainers have been St. John's fans. It's more the do-gooders, people who think if St. Thomas beats Carleton 80-3, it is Caruso's problem, not Carleton's."

.
What gets me was the speed. I knew it would be elevated from Mount, but it really wasn't close. And this was a UST defense that was considered very fast. They looked very pedestrian last night. And what does that say for the Confernce. I think it validates teams having to dabble outside the state for guys here and there because you can't match a team with Ohio as its primary recruiting grounds and Florida as its secondary market. I don't know that MN high school football can give you that. Not suggesting Meidt style recruiting, but Fasching and Caruso going after guys out of state that are the right fit here and there makes sense

Great point.  No doubt speed makes a huge difference. UMU and some other programs have been able to tap into Florida and other areas and secure some gifted and fast athletes to complement their normal recruiting bases.

Congrats UST on a great playoff run.

[Mr.MIAC]

It was a rough night due to the loss. It was a rough morning due to the booze. After some reflection, here are my closing words for the 2015 season.

First, sometimes an intense game, lots of libations, and banter doesn't make the best combination. Last night a few of my more spirited posts included some pretty foul language. Using such language didn't represent the MIAC, UST, or this board very well. Please accept my apologies.

Second, I want to thank the UST players, coaches, and administrators who all helped make this a remarkable season. In addition to entertaining us all, you've represented our university well. I truly think we have and are continuing to develop something special at UST. You've all played a role in laying a strong foundation for the future.

Third, I want to thank those who've directly supported UST this season, including the parents who've sacrificed for the team, students, alumni, and friends of the university. Again, I think we're building something special.

Finally, I'd like to thank those on this board who might not be UST fans, but who have followed the team and offered them words of congratulations and encouragement. We get into lots of banter on here, but part of the fun is knowing that the trash talk is undergirded by mutual respect for eachother and our programs. For those in the MIAC, we all benefit from making the conference competitive and a fun place to be. This board contributes to the fun, so thanks for being a part of it.

Happy Holidays and see you in 2016...

What I found most disgusting from last night was all the Village People construction workers in the UST section.  Yikes.

I'm not sure if you are joking or not, but those are the seminarians referred to as Caruso's crew. The seminary and football team have forged a bond with similar aspirations of developing men of virtue. It is definitely not a village people reference.

Well at least St. Thomas isn't BYU. They have 5 turnovers on 5 possessions in the Las Vegas Bowl. Down 35-0 With 4:38 left in the FIRST quarter.

And he found it "most disgusting." The seminarians. Must have been looking hard to find something not to like.

HScoach....I had seen the seminarians schtick the previous week.
To most of the kids in the stands the Construction Guy is a whole other generation and they could care less.
Now, of there were a cowboy and Indian right behind them...

How would you like to be a recruiting coordinator for Kent State or Miami of Ohio and you have a kid you really want but the kid tells you it's between you and Mount Union and he really wants to win championships.
