[Mr.MIAC]

I hear some Johnnies like spending time with females, which is against the entire ethos of the university. Without having a dominant football team to distract them, some are lost and in jeopardy of seeking out unnatural relationships on the campus in St. Joe's. Discuss.

Unlikely.

Rev is the Perez Hilton of the MIAC boards.  Frequently throws out offensive posts in order to stir the pot.  Personally I gave him +k for not trotting out the old "MIAC schools other than UST and Carleton are safety schools" line.

You haven't been around this board long enough to realize how tame that was.

Kevin will STFU after the Johnnies drop a Monkey Stomp-Out^TM on the Baptists this weekend.

My hatred of Bethel was slowly subsiding till I read Kevin's diatribe!

Was Linnemann the only one still holding onto more hate for Bethel than the Tommies?

Welcome aboard! We aren't afraid of controversy here, but sometimes we've learned to just shake our heads and move along. Probably not dissimilar to how you handle the Mounties from time to time.

Several weeks back, somebody on this board made the statement that if the Cobbers couldn't beat Whitewater, they had no chance of winning the conference. A couple of folks (at least one) didn't really get the point (they took it literally). Well, I am going to make basically the same bold statement (don't take it literally, there's always a chance. Even Jim Carey had chance in Dumb&Dumber) that if SJ2 doesn't win big tomorrow (3+ scores) they won't have much of a chance the following week against the Tommies.

Are you a lawyer? For an attempt at a bold statement, you've got an awful lot of hedging language in there


I'm not sure I agree though. Bethel looks solid so far and I could see even the Tommies struggling to beat them by 3+ scores, because that's just the kind of game it generally has been with Bethel (last year excluded)

Yeah, I know, I just didn't want to get into 3-day discussion explaining like the guy who made the Cobber statement (which happened to be spot-on) I know we don't really know, which makes this game very intriguing but, my hunch is that the Royals are a very similar caliber team as the Cobbers.

Corncodia strikes me as a much higher variance team, which I think is common with the option. If they can control the game, fine, but they aren't going to do well if they get behind.
If Bethel beats the Johnnies, I'll be surprised (but terrified).

Just getting tuned up for Sunday, the start of one of the more entertaining weeks on this board.

FWIW - in the podcast this morning, Pat and Keith list the Johnnie-Royal game as one of the top six games to watch this weekend.

Really hoping that doesn't jinx things.

Because of what others have mentioned, this game is shaping up to be a pretty good one for both programs this year.

I agree w/ that re: bethel and concordia being on similar levels...that game in a couple of weeks may unfortunately be the only one that I make this year!      

Also, yes, I think that w/ Concordia's style, if they're getting stymied on their bread and butter, they're less capable of adjusting, which is I believe why you get the result vs. UST (not to take anything away from the Tommies - I think they're scary good this year).

I don't buy that SJU needs to crush BU to have a chance against UST.

Need to?  No.
Want to?  Definitely.

Absolutely. But if it's less than 3 TDs, are you significantly concerned?
