1- No it isn't. If it is, then San Fran would be a top 3 team in conference, they out-talented us by a lot, would they be tops of the Big Ten? 2-Maybe he is, maybe he isn't but he hasn't shown us much if any positive yet 3-Not sure about this, Bens teams have always had bad guard play...

Agree, for softball, it has been Bethel, St. Bens, Olaf and that's it for tourney type teams in the conference last couple years. Gustavus is up and coming now though, Coley Reis is their coach. We don't get Berry, but they did play them in the supers 2 years ago. They are tough as nails. Here...

The regional rankings stuff in D3 is mind boggling at times. One year it seems they give you more credit for scheduling tougher teams the next year it seems like the wins matter. My daughter plays softball for Bethel they went 20-0 in conference and finished like 33-3 overall last season. They...

I agree. This team was just young on defense after some injuries and their QB played like he belonged in the NCC. They need a kid that can either sit and hit on his passes with accuracy, or a guy that is dual threat. If it were me, I would see if I can find that pocket passer through he portal...

I honestly don't know what is so hard about this. Look at how the Illinois coach turned that place around. THEY PLAY IN YOUR FACE LOCKDOWN DEFENSE. This is the only way to win with lesser talent. Get up in their face, tell 10-11 guys they are getting run and guard the heck out of people. We...

Agree with this. St. Thomas is about winning. They did in in the MIAC because they put more resources towards it than anyone else. And they will do the same thing where they are at now. It'll take some time, but at least they have the gumption to go for it. U of M has never been about sports...

And the day the U didn't stand behind him and fired him, they signed us all up 20 years off the state we are in for right now. No other University would have fired him. When they did that, they flat out told the CBB world that they care ZERO about winning. I'm telling you, Mason as head coach...

Watched this game the other night. Hate to say it, but that San Fran team had much more talent on their roster than we do. Guard play is everything, and we don't have any. Dumb shots, zero defense from the guards. This roster is D2-ish. That and they don't play defense. If you have no talent...

I mean yes, watching them get destroyed would be fine. But to not want to make a championship game just because you think you'll get beat bad is weird. It won't happen, but if you asked me do you want a west title and BT champ game appearance or not, of course I take yes, even if I know we will...

Correct. QB play has flat out been the #1 weakness of this team this year. And it's weird because he seems to have a lot to work with physical. Maybe it isn't his physical abilities that are the problem?

At least Mason's collapses came against real teams. Michigan, Wisc, Mich State, etc. When we played a bad team under Glen when our roster was ready, we hammered them and that was that. I love PJ, but he inexplicably loses 1-2 games each year to bottom feeders and I flat out don't understand...

Agreed. My only question for this line of thinking. Is it on the QB, or is it on the way he is coached? Head coach, OC, or QB coach. How hard is it to teach this kid some touch? Can we work on his accuracy as well? If he's been taught multiple times in practice to throw that type of ball with...

Probably, but they aren't. Now they beat D3 teams masquerading as D1 teams in the conference they are in.

So sad when it is flat out gift wrapped for you and you blow a game to a conference bottom feeder twice in one season. Just a tough pill to swallow after being in this similar position feels like almost every season.

Give me any single one of Mason's QB's coupled with the rest of what PJ has had going since he's been here and we flat out have 2-4 BT West titles. Tanner had one good year. This kid looks mid major. Competence at the #1 position on the field is a must. Tanner Morgan was at least competent his...

I can see that point of view. Maybe it is just the programs in the west are "programmed" to run their programs the way I talk about. I'd be fine watching prettier football, but I don't think schools like MN do great with it in the long run save for a random team here or there. Still I think...

Take that whole group and please tell me which ones had offers to Michigan, OSU, Penn State or any other schools in the SEC and you will get your answer. He might have said that about his talent, but he has to. And just because he says it is his best, it still doesn't mean it's the best as...

Hope they stay the same. There is a pretty good amount of former players, etc that grew up in that system there as assistants now. The whole athletic department and school administration at Bethel is a pretty tight nit group nowadays. I don't see them going anywhere as far as competing goes, but...

No way. Here is what you don't get. If you are a starter on a D3 team, you were likely an all conference at worst, possibly all-state player. Now mix in 1-3 years of(ALL YEAR) strength, conditioning and coaching that is light years better than anything you received in high school. Maybe a top...

LOL. Do we think between the football and Michigan State's basketball program that they have always been run clean? Hell, some of their former players have murdered guys, been part of fraud, different arrrests. Rape accusations by players still in the program, all kinds of things. You think...
