Silly I like you to.  When others might not beable to make sense of your posts.  I read them loud and clear.  I like TDT to.  He seems like a real genuine guy.  My karma is plumeting as we speak.  If I do not watch out I will be in a race with the both of you for how low can it go. 

This weekend I will be doing 3 things myself.  Decorating my christmas tree, watching vision quest twice over, and filling my stapler with new staples for monday morning.  I might even shampoo my carpet. 

My prediction is Bethel 45 MUC 21

Geez Oz, I feel like I've just gotten to attend a tutorial in economics. There's more to you, and others on this board, than meets the eye at first glance. Also, DF2004, I think you are correct sir! regarding your look into the future of higher education costs.

The wife and I are just about to go out for dinner, but before we do I would like to wish Bethel good luck in playing their best game.  I don't think they have a snowball's chance, but MUC can't control the effort that Bethel put in.

I look forward to waking in the morning and reading that Bethel played the best game they could.

Thanks Oz, well put!  I hope you and the Mrs. enjoyed dinner.

With the tremendous challenge facing Bethel today, I was reminded of a couple favorite quotes.  The first is from Friday Night Lights, but could just as easily have been from one of Coach Johnson's pre-game talks.

"You all have known me for a while, and for a long time now you've been hearing me talk about being perfect.  Well, I want you to understand something.  To me, being perfect is not about that scoreboard out there.  It's not about winning.  It's about you and your relationship to your family and your friends.  Being perfect is about being able to look your friends in the eye, and know that you didn't let them down because you told them the truth.  And that truth is that you did everything that you could.  There wasn't one more thing that you could have done.  Can you live in that moment as best you can with clear eyes and love in your heart?  With joy in your heart!  If you can do that, gentlemen, then you're perfect.  I want you to take a moment, and I want you to look each other in the eyes.  I want you to put each other in your hearts forever.  Boys, my heart is full.  My heart is full!"

And one more, from Teddy Roosevelt.

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

Coach Johnson put it best, "We're coming home either happy, or ecstatic."  GO ROYALS!

Chuck Moore was 6'1" 210?  My memory must be getting foggy.  I thought he was more Kmic's size.  He was without a doubt the best running back I ever played against, though.  And he seemed like a nice guy, too (of course, he was monkey-stomping us at that point  ).

The old Media Guide sitting on my bookshelf says:
#10 Chuck Moore - RB - 6'-1", 210 lbs - Mogadore HS / Mogadore, OH


When he was playing in HS, he was the TB and MLB.  And also the biggest kid on their team.

Good luck MIAC!

It's -11*F in central Minnesota currently. It would be nice to be hosting a National Semi-Final game with a South Region team today, but maybe next year

I remember in 2002 when Duffman & crew hosted Coe in a 2nd Round game it wa +17*F and the windchill brought it to Zero.

Best of luck to everyone today. Injury free and looking forward to a great Stagg Bowl.

Please, who ever wins the semi-final games today, don't pull a Hampton tonight

Getting ready to head out to the brunch and game.

MUC respects Bethel and has worked extremely hard in practice this week (especially kickoff coverage ). Every team should do what they do best and for Bethel that is run the ball and control the clock. I think it will take a perfect effort on Bethel's part and a subpar effort from Mount for Bethel to win but that's' why we play the games. This year alone, college football is littered with heavily favored teams getting their lunch handed to them. It's what makes the games so much fun. All the banter here just that, games are won or lost by the efforts of committed young men on Saturdays such as this one.

Congrats to Steve Johnson on Coach of the Year for the West Region and all the the Royals who made 1st..2nd..3rd.. team...West Region

[justadad]

Good Luck to the Bethel team and fans, you have represented the MIAC well and now are the best of the West.  May your journey some how, some way continue beyond today.  Stranger things have happened.

Chip Scoggins reports this morning from the STrib that MUC lists 17 players from Florida.... I now have a new understanding for MUC football.

And a bit of concern for the future of D3.  Is this the direction STO is trying to go?  I would hate to see SJU have to start actually recruiting other parts of the country.  The more teams do that, it would seem that the more they will have to take in marginal or even unqualified students?  The local aspects of SJU has been one of the endearing features of the program.

Anyway, on a positive note, 1st choice Bethel actually wins, (that would be cool), 2nd puts in a respectable showing (good for the MIAC) or 3rd, gets their A$$ handed to them (Good for Duff and the others who have played against Bethel in the past)

Not doubting you.  Maybe I just remember him looking smaller because I was comparing him to the big dudes up front that I was dealing with.

Are you there already?  Or, can you actually get reserved seats ahead of time?  (for future reference).
