In actually was in charge of filming the video.

I doubt this is true, unless he was filming in Iowa.

Good because I was going to rip him for using a crappy camera.

Would have been a lot more impressive if it wasn't edited on all of the shots with consecutive throws. Still has a nice arm

[Kilts and Bagpipes]

The only one that was edited on the consecutive throws was the baskets in the fieldhouse.  The goalposts and the hitting the boxes off the head, hands and butt were all continuous filming.

750,000+ videos thus far.  Not too shabby!

Personally, I don't care if the throws were consecutive or not.  The William Tell shots appear to be unedited. The upright shots are impressive because of a.) the distance (including from the knee) and b.) it is outside w/ the wind.  And with La Nina, no less!!   

I also appreciate how Alex gave the viewer a virtual campus tour (albeit tight shots) while he was in different locations inside and outside the Huff Center.

Carroll annoucned yesterday that Mark Krzykowski will be the new head coach of the Pioneers. Coach K has been defensive coord. for the team since 2006 and is a former alum of Carroll. I wishing nothing but the best to Coach K, his staff, and players on this upcoming season and years to come!!!

Hopefully he'll be less accurate when the Fighting Scots open the season September 3rd against Wartburg.

For those of you who may have been around Tanney over the years, has he gotten a lot bigger over the past year - now that basketball is out of the picture?  He looks pretty broad-shouldered in the video. 

Does anyone know where he is on Mel Kiper's big board for 2012?

St. Norbert College announced it has received an anonymous $1.5 million gift to allow for the construction of the home lockerrooms at the new Schneider Stadium.

SNC had dressed in the equipment shed this year, as there wasn't enough money to complete the home lockerroom building with the rest of the stadium in 2010.

The new place should be done by fall. It will be just north of the north endzone (to the fans' right) for anyone who had been there.

Hmmmmm.......  Maybe the anonymous gift is just the college ponying up the rest of the cash so their players don't have to change in the equipment shed anymore due to an incompleted project.  ("Hey, Hank, have you seen my jockstrap?"  "I think it's over there by the weed wackers.  Be careful!")   

Either way, it sounds like a nice facility upgrade.

While dressing in the shack wasn't ideal, the college doesn't have Monmouth's endowment to do that sort of thing (unfortunately). And, the news release came was actually about the college setting a record for big project donations in one year, not just about the lockerroom it. And I have other info to know not true (No, I didn't write the check...) So, while indeed a funny line, not true in this case.

ST. NORBERT COLLEGE TO PLAY FOOTBALL GAME
IN  DUBLIN, IRELAND IN 2012


    DE PERE, WIS.: St. Norbert College will face John Carroll (Ohio) University in Dublin, Ireland, in its 2012 season opener as part of the Global Ireland Football Tournament (GIFT). The game, scheduled for August 31, 2012, will mark the first NCAA Division III game played in Europe since 1992.

    The game marks the first time St. Norbert will compete intercollegiately outside of North America, and only the second time any team will have played outside of the continental United States. The St. Norbert hockey team played at Alaska-Fairbanks in 1997. The trip will be financed through private funding and no college operating funds will be used.

    "St. Norbert College is extremely excited to partner with a fellow Catholic institution in John Carroll University in this event," St. Norbert president Thomas Kunkel said. "This is a great opportunity not only for our football program but for the college overall."

      The St. Norbert-John Carroll game, with the venue still to be determined, is the only college game played as part of GIFT. At least three American high school games will also be played that weekend at various locations around Dublin. All teams participating in GIFT will have an opportunity to attend the Notre Dame-Navy game on September 1, 2012 in Dublin.

      "This will be a wonderful educational opportunity for our student-athletes, and I am appreciative of our administration for supporting this endeavor," St. Norbert football coach Jim Purtill said. "This experience will be great for those who might not normally get a chance to travel abroad in not only an athletic setting but an educational one as well."

       Travel information for fans as well as other information about the trip is available at http://www.snc.edu/athletics/football/ireland2012.html.

      The Global Ireland Football Tournament is planned by Global Football, a Texas-based company which oversees several overseas trips for college football teams.

      "After a year of planning, GIFT 2012 is now becoming a reality, and is already much bigger than I had anticipated," Global Football president Patrick Steenberge said. "Through the help of American football leaders in Ireland, we have found a number of top quality stadiums which are eager to host our games. Since there currently are no high school or junior-level league teams there, it will be a chance for the American coaches and players who travel to Ireland to demonstrate their abilities to passionate Irish sports fans and media." 

     St. Norbert is 107-21 in 12 years under Purtill and has won 13 Midwest Conference championship since joining the league in 1984. The Green Knights have made nine NCAA Division III Playoff appearances.

     The only Norbertine college in the world, St. Norbert is a four-year, Catholic liberal arts college, devoted to the Norbertine traditions of community, prayer and service to others. Founded in 1898 by Abbot Bernard Pennings as a school to prepare men for the priesthood, St. Norbert College became coeducational in 1952. Today the residential campus serves about 2,200 undergraduate and graduate students hailing from throughout the United States and more than 30 countries, and offers study abroad opportunities in 37 countries.

St. Norbert DID NOT dress in the equipment shed this year, they only met there prior to the game and at halftime. They used their old locker rooms at Schuldes Sports Center. Nothing like running with information that simply isn't accurate...

My apologies... "dress" may not have been the best word... my point was there aren't yet lockerrooms there.
