D3 Championship Belt

Point takes the belt back into the NCAA tournament as the defending champ. They are not going to give it away so someone's got to try and rip it away.

Illegal use of the term Belt ^TM by Sgt. Paul. Five yards. Repeat the down.

Okay, where do you step off the five yards? It is five yards from the free throw line to the bucket.

Hey, we'll play River Falls again... but let's have it be in the tournament, not a WIAC tourney championship again...

Will the Belt ^TM be prominently displayed by Stevens Point?

It will obviously have to be half the distance to the goal

Down goes Frazier! The Belt^TM has changed hands. St. Thomas beat UWSP tonight, and the Tommies will defend the Belt^TM tomorrow night against either Mary Hardin-Baylor or sectional host Augustana.

...and the Belt^TM, like a Democratic lawmaker, won't return to Wisconsin this season.

But perhaps the Belt^TM will be 'on ice' up at St. Thomas!

Awesome!

Augustana tries to take The Belt^TM from St. Thomas tomorrow!

Gregory Sager · March 19, 2011, 05:20:39 PM

... and the Belt^TM will be taking up residence in the Twin Cities this off-season.

Congrats to St. Thomas!

FINAL 2010-11 D-III Championship Belt^TM path:

Start-Dec. 3 - UW-Stevens Point
Dec. 4-Feb. 4 - UW-River Falls
Feb. 5-Feb. 8 - UW-Whitewater
Feb. 9-Feb. 15 - UW-Platteville
Feb. 16-Mar. 10 - UW-Stevens Point
Mar. 11-Present - St. Thomas

By far the shortest list we've ever had and certainly the fewest frequent flier miles the Belt^TM has ever logged. On the plus side, Pat can visit it throughout the offseason whenever he wants.

Will you use the savings in those travel and security costs to add additional commemorative Baubles and Bling in the off-season?

With only about 4 non-conference games per MIAC team, the belt may be spending next year in Minnesota.

Admittedly, of the MIAC's, St. Thomas is one that seems to have played in many different parts of the country recently or at least ventured out of its own immediate vicinity more.
