Well, that makes more sense.  I pulled it from the D4 stats and they probably were not updated. Glad we still  use points scored to determine a winner.

Fauch-did you talk to Dr. Rat, I think he specializes in knees!

Thanks for the suggestion...I got in touch w/ him via Twitter and gmail. After consulting my surgeon I'm likely going under the knife in late November /early December for a PKR. If the Johnnies manage a playoff run I'll be watching from the comfort of home and hopefully walking with much less pain after the first of 2023!!!

Great Johnnie networking! Dr. Rat talked me out of a knee surgery a few years back--I'm glad I talked to him before scheduling an unecessary surgery.  Dr. Jeff Macalena's also a great Johnnie ortho in the TC metro area.

Is this a new division that I'm not aware of?

I've got stage 4 arthritis in part of my right knee. From what I understand I'll be getting something similar to this.

The good thing that Dr. Rat and my surgeon both said is that I'll keep a large part of my original knee and it should feel more like my native knee.
Probably will need a full in 15-20...but right now I'm in pain and limping all the time and the cortisone injections have ran their course.

Good luck!  My mom had a partial knee replacement done a few years ago.

Sorry to see Ben Bartch for the Jaguars has a season ending knee injury.

Journell sounds like the real deal, which has got to be exciting for Carleton (and a little bit terrifying if you're St. Olaf). The impression I get from the story is that Journell isn't looking to jump ship anytime soon.

Life in the NFL. Hoping for a full recovery before training camp next year.

Nice article on Carleton. If Wash U can compete at the top of the CCIW there's no reason the Knights can't do the same in the MIAC. Just need the right coach and support from the administration. Sounds like they may have found just that mix.

Pretty quiet week on the boards leading up to this weekend's games.

Duff alluded earlier to the huge spread for Carleton vs. St. Scholastica (+50.5), but there are a few other compelling matchups.
What Concordia will we see against Bethel--the one that came back and almost beat SJU and Monkey Stomped^TM Macalester, or that other one (see Valley City State & GAC)?
I'm also interested to see where Macalester stacks up against Augsburg. AO has the line pretty close on that one and I think Mac is capable of winning that game outright.

Ice says this was a great write up.
