Still, Bethel has had his number unlike most other opponents (notably a team in red that he has performed pretty well against).

Just goes to prove that you can't beat a team with one guy.

But the right "one guy" can get a team kicked out of the MIAC!

I guess one guy can take 2 out of 3 though. Tough to sweep a 3-game series.

Very tough when you don't have a secondary.

Extremely tough.

Going to go out on a limb here and suggest that Erdmann either repeats as All-world 1st team D3 QB and gets some consideration for an NFL practice squad gig, or his injury troubles hit before he gets to the Tommie game and it ends up a lost season (Alvord is gone right? Who's the #2?)

You are on a roll +K

Alvord is gone.  Chris Backes was the third QB last season, though I hope they have someone waiting in the wings as I personally don't see Backes taking the Johnnies too far.  Erdmann will leave some big shoes to fill.  I really hope that he stays healthy this season.

I believe that one of the keys to the Johnnie's success last year was that they stayed pretty healthy.  Aside from Brinker's ongoing issues, I don't recall them really losing a starter for an extended period of time (I guess Auger was out for a while, now that I think back).

Pure gold! +K

Out of curiousity, I just took a peak at available tickets for the Johnnie/Tommy game at Allianz.  $120 -$720 per ticket--who the hell is spending that for a D3 game?

No idea but it makes me wish that I had bought half a dozen extra. It would be easy to sell them for $30-50 over face.
I believe there are quite a few Johnnie alums holding onto a fair number of extra tickets. I hope so as I've got to get one for my 15 year old!

I've got a couple of extra and will be taking my wife and daughter. I'll sell it to you for a fair price and we'll take good care of him! I promise.

My money would be on sophomores Abe Havelka (Owatonna) or Reed Smith (Lakeville North). Both come from strong high school programs and played in a number of big games during their high school careers.

Yeah, seriously. I was going to try to attend since I've never been to Johnnie/Tommie before and wanted to take one in before it's over. But there's no way I'm shelling out that kind of money.

Out of state parents who purchased tickets late:).
