It's not a who, it's a what.

Re. NW and Wisc.: It is extremely hard to schedule teams that don't exist (that covers a lot of the entire history of our program), and until quite recently scheduling either would have been a lot like scheduling Hiram College (only much farther away).

behind?

So noted. The word "was" shows up twice in the link, not including the first three letters in the word "Washington." And your point is......................

?

The good news then is that just about every team in the MAC is screwed. Pulling the middle of your post out leaves this interesting non sequitur.

You are welcome.

About 47 guys on this list would disagree with you.

My bad. I didn't realize the early eighties ran through 1989. Its' all on the link I provided.

Ah, the good old days when averaging 2,500 a game gets you a 13K+ seat arena (and not a single bleacher seat in it).

A careful review of the information at this site indicates your recollection of attendance at Viking's home games in the early eighties is a bit distorted. A 13K stadium still seems to be a bit excessive for their current ticket demand.

Jeff Sagarin, who is way better than Pomeroy, has St. Marys at #43 and the Zips at #61. He has the Zips as 5 1/2 point dogs.

Please note that the ESPN story was updated AFTER my post. The original story made no mention of a homophobic slur and the updated story does not claim that the potty mouth was limited to homophobic slurs.

So you're saying we are not going to California to play Saint Mary's College from Indiana.

A better conclusion is nobody is interested in betting on the game. Bookies don't set point spreads to kill time; they set them so that they can make money.

I'll say we open as a 15 point favorite. Take the points and bet the under.

Apparently Steve wasn't one of them.

I watched the last five minutes of the game yesterday evening, in the Governor's office btw. We lost.

How come basketball players don't rip off their shirt after they score a goal?

After the pasting the Buffs put on Ohio this week, maybe they are better than you think.

I pledge to give every member of this board $1,000 if we lose to UMass this week.

@George Thomas: Please George, give some serious thought to changing your name. I was reliving the game this morning by reading ABJ articles. Never actually read one before by the Can't State beat writer, Stephanie Storm. What a cool name, Stephanie Storm. With that alliteration thing working for her the name just kind of rolls off your tongue, Stephanie Storm. And that powerful, kind of meteorological, last name kind of grabs you like Wolf Blitzer; boy I bet they would make a great couple. I can envision their photos on the cover of People magazine. Sticking with the meteorological theme, and trying for a bit of alliteration ourselves, how about George Gale? Naw, sounds a little girly. There is no reason Can't State should have a writer with a cooler name than our writer. Please George, think about it.

I know the answer, but I'm not saying until my prize for your last contest arrives at my door. hint: he also played for the Nationals and the Lakers.
