[Mr.MIAC]

Sorry for fat shaming the fictional CSB alums having a fictional NCAA watch-party at Jenny Craig in Richfield. I know the fictional CSB alums are fictionally disadvantaged because their fictional thyroid glands produce too little fictional thyroid horomone, causing their fictional metabolism to fictionally slowdown. It is in no way the fault of those fictional CSB alums that they are so fictionally fat. I know, with a lot of hard work and a positive mental attitude these fictional women can re-calibrate their fictional lifestyles and live long and healthy fictional lives.

I will think about all of the fictional women I have hurt and examine my own misogyny against women who in no way exist. I know if they were real, their feelings would be hurt. This weekend, I intend to devote my time not to football, but to auditing every online course on fictional women's empowerment I can find on the California-Berkeley website.

I know this kind of locker room talk maligning women that don't exist has no place on a football website, and for that, I apologize.

Wow, I didn't realize to what extent you think I don't exist. Last time I checked I am not fictional. Nice job doubling down!

On a side note, why is it that "we" make fun of Bennies' weight, Tommie women for being slutty and Johnnies for being gay? Why are any of those things something to ridicule? This isn't directed at Bench. It is kind of something directed at all of us in these communities. I have definitely made comments about Tommie women in the past, but have stop (even during Tommie/Johnnie week). I am not trying to be a buzzkill, but I just don't understand how in this day and age any of these "jokes" are funny.

Who makes fun of Johnnies for being gay?

When I used to vote on those, I favored people who started for their team and had good GPAs in tough majors. (For me, those were hard sciences, engineering, that sort of thing.) Kids at better academic institutions ranked higher in my estimation, generally.

It would be tough for someone at UST to measure up to someone at Wash U, U of Chicago, MIT, etc., in my estimation.

I won't need sunglasses or sunscreen today with that bit of shade!

This is akin to somebody in Winnipeg laughing at somebody in Iowa for the awful winter weather that Iowans endure.

Only if the person in Winnipeg was fishing for compliments about how fantastic their weather is and comparing their weather favorably to Boston's.

You misunderstood the analogy, which should come as no surprise given SJU-CSB's test scores. You are Winnipeg in this analogy.

Yes. I got that (but clearly the Rev didn't). And I would only have to worry about the shade being thrown by Pat's comments if I was on the board bragging about how we were a Nationally Recognized University and comparing SJU/CSB to BC.

It has been a long week, but I think that it is you not understanding your own analogy. 

I like to play fast and loose with my analogies, just like the ...... oh, nevermind.

I'm just happy to hear that you have accepted SJU's place as a 2nd-rate D3 football school, and CSB as a 3rd tier academic institution. I've found that accepting my circumstances is the first step towards finding happiness in life. As the serenity prayer goes: Accept the things I cannot change yada yada yada.

UST and BC are similar in many ways. UST is just 30 years or so behind. Plus, UST uses BC as a marker for it's future development plans. The comparison is fair. On UST being a nationally recognized university, that's what it is nowadays. The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education considers UST a national university. In MN, it's second only to the U of M.

Do the SJU guys sneak over to the girls school? That might be fun...

Bench says it's an agricultural school. I'm not familiar.

Game Day
Go JOHNNIES!

[BDB]

All I can say to the last few pages is bennie, you are the best! 

(even though we don't like the same hockey teams  )

[jamtod]

I watched some Eureka highlight videos from this season. I'm a little concerned about this ax they seem to carry around everywhere. I hope security keeps an eye on it so that if the score gets out of hand, Caruso's life is not put in jeopardy.

[BDB]

I am debating whether or not to go to the SJU game and watch Johnnies...I will be down the street visiting my mother and would love cheer on the MIAC...just got to sneak away!

ChicagoTommie don't be such a stranger.

Game day.  Go Johnnies!

My wife left me with the kids today while she went on a shopping trip with her mom and sisters, and I'm struggling with a level 6-7 hangover.  It's going to be a tough day.

Poor planning, but +k for the comment/username synergy.

Yeah that is going to be a challenge for you today man. She is doing this to teach you a lesson.  All the Maple Grove women are like that and she won't be home until 10pm.  No?

On The Red Zone, North Central's weekly show with Head Coach Jeff Thorne,  Coach Thorne says the two keys to today's game are ball security and Special Teams. He said when you play a team as good as St John's, one turnover or field position can be the difference.

watch it here (St Johns commentary starts around the 10:31 mark):
