And still dominated!!!

I just read that as well and was about to share.  Crazy for any position, let alone how much stress / twisting is put on the legs playing interior D-line with o-lineman hitting your from multiple angles.

Thanks for sharing faunch.
Ordinary men doing ordinary thing extraordinarily well.

You can't really call their a double post because there has been 2 days of inactivity on the MIAC board, can you say "slow news week".

So, with all the talk of "flipping recruits" from WMU to the Gophers with the coaching change is there any possibility of UST recruits "flipping" to St. Olaf with the coaching change in Northfiled and at least 2 former UST coaches (one being the new HC) moving to SOC. I'm sure there would be plenty of room on the Olaf roster and opportunities to start 4 years....rebuilding a program similar to what Caruso did at UST nearly a decade ago.

Looks like St. John's recruiting has been a little slower this year but from the looks of some of the guys that are looking at them they are really going after some big dogs. Could end up being a very impressive class

So in addition to high school seniors announcing their "commitment" via Twitter they are also announcing on Twitter their "offers" to D3 schools?  What does that even mean?  What are they being offered?

Congratulations Ryan Campbell! The young man looks like a player and o-line is a position in need of athletes for sure.

Auggie Heavyweight wrestler Donny Longendyke is a senior this year so I understand Ryan's decision to choose Augsburg. Chances are very good that he may be part of another National Championship wrestling team in the next 4 years. Good luck Ryan!

I was going to ask you, working with our nation's youth every day.As for me, I am totally confused by some of this stuff. I believe it's part of the Millennial generations desire to receive a trophy for everything the do. So if they receive a generic letter in the mail, an email or a text message from a school it's an "offer" in their mind. That's all I can come up with.

Here's a good video about millennials.  I think Mr. Sinek touches on several of the issues that have been discussed on these boards.

I would like to point out that millenials are only as their parents raised them.

[Mr. Ypsi]

I would like to point out that millenials are only as their parents raised them.

Agreed.  Both my sons are millenials, and I don't recognize them in nearly any of the stereotypes about that generation.

[DuffMan]

I'm borderline millennial by birth date, but I don't identify with any of those stereotypes.  We've got a handful of what I'd consider millennials at work.  Some are fine, others need a real kick in the ass.
