I'd like to see an empty back field, 4 split wide to the right, Clark alone on the left and deep routes from everyone...and rinse and repeat.

Pretty much Stout's offense the second half against UST. They threw some slants in there for good measure.

Kyle Kilgore would too.

So it could have come in handy a week ago?

Having a better sports team might have a small impact on a school's ability to educate because marketing the college/university doesn't market solely to students; it also markets it to their alums.  There was a discussion a couple of pages back about how alums are more likely to give money following a win by the football team, so it provides some assistance in those educational pursuits depending on where those donations are used.  This donation pool may just be a drop in the bucket, but schools tend to solicit donations using this strategy so it may be a more significant source of revenue than I think. 

I actually went to SJU because they had a great football team, even though I didn't play football. Before I joined the navy, I went to a college with a great academic reputation. But they held funerals for trees that got cut down and a million other similar things like "White Priviledge Week" 32 years ago. I didn't fit in. But I had done a huge review, visits, etc and still picked poorly.  Only one Minnesota school had crossed my radar.

So as my time in the navy was winding down I decided I wanted to go to school again. I decided on one criteria; I was going to a school with a great football tradition. My theory was that students would mostly be interested in being students because they would be too occupied with football culture to protest dead trees. The teachers would mostly be interested in teaching, not preaching. I knew Bud Grant had his kid play football at SJU and I said "if it's good enough for Bud then it's good enough for me". Added bonus was that the place was full of priests so odds were that any preaching done would be actual preaching. (I may have been sucking down a few cans with mates on a sunny California afternoon when I was making this snap decision.)

So I sent for an application, filled it in and sent it off. My fist day on campus was the day I arrived to study. One of my first classes that first semester was Accounting with a teacher whose name eludes me at the moment and who walked into class and said, "I'm happy to fail you all; it really doesn't matter to me.  You decide if you want to work or not."  I knew then that I had landed in the right spot.

The moral of the story?  Don't make any critical life decision without a couple cans in you.

Of course it does.

Would the MSHSL approve of the beer garden at Hill-Murray before the homecoming game?

Lager, mate?

Oz, Congrats on post #8000!!!   

I didn't even realize the number was approaching, BDB. Thanks for the congratulations.

I have a lot of people to acknowledge for their help in reaching this remarkable milestone. The first is Pat Coleman and the whole d3football.com crew.  Without their vision and persistence then this den of procrastination and time-wasting would not exist.  My efforts at avoiding effort would have most assuredly been directed somewhere else, perhaps they may have even failed altogether and I would have been doomed to an existence of hard work and success.  So thanks Pat & Co.

Next, I must thank the Johnnies, Bennies and other members of the Johnnie Nation who through their own efforts at avoiding effort have so encouraged mine. Thank you. I would have never managed to waste the time I have without your constant support.

My family, particularly Mrs Oz, must also be acknowledged. Without her insistence on watching Master Chef, Grand Designs and Sex in the City reruns then my procrastination efforts could have been limited to the prime daytime hours. She ensured my time was wasted well into many an evening.  Thank you, hun.

Lastly, I must thank the Tommies.  If you all had not been so fun to troll, so easy to befuddle, so committed to the stereotype then I may have lost interest. But, no you delivered. And for that I can only say one thing:  Tommies Suck!

You done good Oz, have a James Squire Jack of Spades to celebrate...

Veering off for a minute, from footballscoop.com:

Westminster (D-III – MO): Westminster College located in Fulton, Missouri is looking for games  on either September 1st or 8th or November 10th in  2018 and September 7th or 14th or November 16th in 2019. Interested programs can contact john.welty@westminster-mo.edu.

Not as close as some, but not that far away.  SJU, this one's for you.

Probably not a good idea, we don't need two UMAC schools for non-conference opponents. Gustavus beat these guys 38-0 on opening weekend.

There are two Westminsters, one in Pennsylvania, you may be confusing the two schools with the same name.
