St. Olaf is the last MIAC team playing. They won both their games over the weekend, beating Williams 2-1 and then Wheaton 2-0. They now advance to the final four. On the ladies' side, I see that Carleton's team made it to the Great Eight where they lost 1-0 to U of Chicago. So all told, a...

Lots of talk about Jon Sumrall, Tulane's current coach, taking the Auburn job.

San Diego vs the Loons on Monday night. A couple of teams with very different styles. This is a Fraizer vs Ali matchup, with smokin' Joe being a machine that's constantly moving forward and attacking, and Ali being the dancer on defense, deflecting the blows, waiting for the moment to strike...

In the cobwebs of my memory, Richard's teams were doing terribly at the line, and he said he went to a free-throw shooting clinic that totally changed the way he approached teaching that skill. From there, his teams did much better. Does anyone else remember that line? What clinic, what was the...

To qualify, Scotland needed to beat Denmark, and (spoiler alert) scored the winning goal 3 minutes into extended time. See if you can pick out the one Denmark fan in this crowd..

As of today, Tulane is the G5 rep and as the 12th seed would be playing 5th seed Texas Tech in the first round of the playoffs. Here's their coach talking about the his team, making sure they don't think they've already earned the spot.

Might as well start the thread with this one - Curaçao has qualified. This is basically like the city of Rochester getting a team into the cup - both are around a population of 185,000.

I'm glad the "finish with only 6 wins" is on the football forum vs basketball, but I'm starting to wonder if it fits in both places...

Maybe a bit different from everyone else's lists, but I'll add 2001 Space Odyssey. It wraps the entire movie into the future.

Wasn't sure where to post this, but "soccer" is "football", so I went with this thread. 64 teams get selected to be part of the Division III "football" (aka "soccer") playoffs. This year, there were four MIAC teams that made the dance: St. Olaf, Macalester, Gustavus, and Augsburg. All but...

For the Loons, the appx 20,000 seat stadium is almost always a sellout, so that's solid. For TV viewing, MLS decided to sell the exclusive rights to Apple, so I think that really limits viewership. You need to purchase a separate MLS pacakge from Apple to view the games. That subscription is...

Regular season games will be played through mid-December and start up again in early February. For the Loons, this means good players won't want to come here to play in the cold (we already had that issue of MN not being a good place to pay - small market and all, but now it's 10 times worse)...

And there goes my season tickets... I won't be renewing them once the schedule changes.

The Loons have run this play quite a bit, because it works. It's so simple, you'd think other teams would be prepared for it. In the setup, Markanich and Trapp are positioned at the top of the box with Bongi deep to provide cover for a quick break. We stack the far post with two players, and...

This kid has some serious speed.

The Wonderwall had done advanced scouting on their goalie. Seattle put in a substitute goalie right at the end of the game, one just for the PKs. Wonderwall did its stuff in trying to get to him, and they did. Some chant about his sister (I think, I couldn't quite make it out), which caused him...

It was a great game. For the PKs we joined the WonderWall folks - standing right behind the net.

The Loons, who have now advanced to the semi-finals, say hi 👋

Memphis is 1-0 in this year's match up of them vs the SEC.

I had a rather long flight two weeks back, from Frankfurt to MSP, and ended up watching two movies that I both liked: Juror #2 takes a bit of a different look at a courtroom case, from the perspective of a juror versus that of the defendant and the respective lawyers. Mickey 17 is a story about...
