Rockford University (1-0) at St. Scholastica (0-0)
Wartburg (1-0) at St. John's (1-0)
Luther College (0-0) at St. Olaf (1-0)

Bethel (0-0) at U of Northwestern MN (0-1)

I would be tempted to watch some of the St. John's/Wartburg game, but St. John's charges a fee for its video feed. (insert Tommyboy comment here). Most MIAC schools make the video feed available for free.

All of these small private schools are having issues with numbers. The reason SJU continues to have over 200 kids on their team, has to do with financials, the head coach needs to bring in around 50 freshman a year, that is 1/4 of the all boys class paying tuition. He promises all of these kids that if they work hard and stick with the team that they will eventually play. He plays the good cop and OC is the bad cop, what you see is a large fall out of angary or disappointed players that never see the field. In additional to burring these kids, the head coach brings in multiple transfer and JC kids to start. The legend John Gags, build the program and currently coach is killing Big Red tradition for the sake of winning. They are burning a lot of alumni kids, they will release the damage in the future.

Well, at least this took your attention away from your usual point that MIAC teams would lose to local HS teams. It continues to amaze me how someone with some apparent level of past involvement with D3 football could know so little about it.

That 24-3 SDSU vs Augustana score is a lot better than I would have expected.

SJU is a good program, does not have much competition in the MIAC. Wartburg had a really good team last year and the majority of the All- American players moved on from college. So did their head coach, who moved to a higher league. Warburg is starting many second year players, they will be very good again in a few years. SJU threw for the same yardage as the team Warburg played the week before. The majority of the SJU passing yards were basic dump passes to the RB. More impressive was SJU's 10 sacks on a new Wartburg line. My point is SJU has moved away from the Div III student/ Athlete, emphasizing student. When your RB and QB are the oldest combo in college sports.

They've actually invented box scores.

You're just flat out wrong about St. John's passing game against Wartburg. He threw for 324 yards on Saturday and only 25 of the yards went to the RBs.

10 sacks? Did SJU know their line was new? This points to one thing. SJU was being mean. I am starting to hate the St. John’s program as much as you.

25 out of 324 is the majority in his world.

Tommyboy is mad because another one of his kids is backing up 2 D1 transfers at RB. SETTLED THAT ONE

Wartburg’s head coach did not leave for a new job. Matt Entz, a Wartburg alum, left NDSU for USC. You’re out of your element.

They lost some other coach, who cares, Warburg was good last year, there average this year. Their students are graduating and moving on with their lives. SJU has 24 year old NIL players that are graduated and working for their banker daddy, in Div 3, it is a joke, and they will loose in the second round despite paying their QB to play.
 

news flash --

there are always going to be people who are taller, better looking, more talented and have more money than you. at some point, you learn to accept it and go on with your life.

or you could just keep posting crap on internet message boards. whatever helps you cope.
 

What D2 team is going to beat St. Thomas or give them a run for their money this week?
