Love my Johnies but I think Gus Davis will win next week.

This would be a heckuva time for the Johnnies to put together their first complete game. It's been bumpy these last several weeks. I don't think they get it done without a complete game--very little margin for error against Gustavus. It's nice that the game is in Collegeville though.

I'd be pretty surprised to see SJU lose to Gustavus...I'm fully expecting a re-match in Collegeville for the MIAC title.  Still curious when we'll hear whether they're going to carry this championship week forward?

I sort of understand the spirit of the rule, but you can certainly make the case that for an un-helmeted player to simply stop and stand still in the middle of play is more unsafe.

Yeah, I understand it and wasn't upset with the call, but it seems a bit subjective.  How do you judge if a an o-lineman stops participating in the play?  He'll get hurt if he just lets up.  And your example of an RB.  He's just supposed to stop running?

[DuffMan]

I'll be pleasantly surprised if SJU beats Gustavus.  They have yet to put a full game together.  Lot's of mental lapses and inconsisten o-line play.

Yeah. This is what I'm most concerned about. The O-line needs to get it together--and fast.

Congrats to Carleton on receiving votes in the D3football.com Top 25. It's the first time since 2008 receiving votes.

Note: Carleton also broke into the Top 25 that same year on a 5-0 start with wins over Cornell, Bethel, Macalester, St. Olaf, and Augsburg, before losing to Gustavus 30-29 in overtime and then losing to St. Thomas by two as the Tommies scored a TD on 4th and goal from the Carleton 6-yard line as time expired.

Any chance I'll be able to live stream the GAC/SJU game while sitting in Camp Randall?

Going to the Wisconsin-Purdue game? I guess it's the easiest opportunity to get tickets with the Badgers being very sub-par this year.

My guess is that the guest WiFi won't be able to support streaming much of anything (maybe the radio call only).

[SagatagSam]

On a somewhat related note--for any of you that have Verizon for your cell and data service--has your data quality just gone in the dump these last 6-8 months?

My Verizon data service can't seem to support some of the most basic web browsing and streaming when I am not on my home or work WiFi.

Ice says Bethel looking a little low coming in at #11 this week. Should be higher IIBHO.

Yes. Think it may be a problem more specific to my iphone, but I will be outside in a major metropolitan area and suddenly have zero cell service of any kind for an hour

Obviously the angle of the pic, but this looks like a college team playing a middle school team

Yup. Either that or the Johnnies are ranked too high. Regardless, it will all be cleared up the next few weeks.

Yes...visiting #2 for Bucky Badger homecoming. Tickets were purchase earlier this fall by a friend...guessing since it's homecoming the prices won't come down a lot. Hoping to view the first half of GAC/SJU from my tailgate location. Last year I was in Iowa City for the MIAC championship game. I couldn't get much of anything for a signal in the stadium...as I went to the bathroom I saw a post or tweet that said SJU pulled off the win. Anyone willing to send me text updates send me a PM and I'll give you my cell.
Thanks
