The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

The last thing I want to do is hype up a recruit to that extreme. Especially by comparing him to an NSU player. :)

Of course not :)

Parker Fox 2.0?

What's holding up UNI offering Angelo Winkel now that Tschetter seems to be officially out of reach?

For those interested, Midco will be doing a one-time airing of Augie's 2016 National Championship game this Thursday evening. It was a really fun game, especially if you're an Augie fan.

Just a reminder for Augie fans (or non-Augie fans who want to watch a fun basketball game tonight), Midco will be showing the 2016 National Championship game at 7:00pm CT tonight.

[MrAugustana]

Despite Augie being his first offer, I fear Tanner Te Slaa is becoming increasingly unlikely to end up a Viking after garnering an offer from Northern Iowa yesterday...

Congrats to the Vikes and to Angelo Winkel. Looking forward to seeing what he can do in blue and gold.

Interesting. I'd enjoy reading a Mr Mr long essay on that subject.

I've been awake for two hours with indigestion. Went to a benefit in Buffalo Lake last night for one of my former football players who has late stages of ALS. Pulled pork was delicious but I'm paying for it now. Tossed and turned, went outside for a walk, finally decided to get on here.

Eh... I think we'll have a better chance at staying relevant long-term if we eventually make the jump.

Augustana is much better suited at D2. Embrace it.

Bottom line is that yes, getting rejected is never a good thing. I don't know a ton of people that get rejected for anything and think/feel, "Yeah, that's a good look for me."

That being said, if this gets the administration to reassess how this was handled, it's possible they will adjust things moving forward and pursue future options. Maybe it would be the Summit again, or maybe they'd switch their style up, show that they can provide more value, and pursue a different conference or something. Then again, I can't imagine the Horizon League is desperate to take a school that the Summit rejected (Summit fans would have a heyday with that one), but as NSU4LIFE noted, they still have plenty of time to achieve this goal if 2030 is the plan.

Congrats to the men's basketball team on their academic success. According to Twitter:

We tallied the most NABC Academic Honors Court members in the NSIC while also earning the Team Academic Excellence Award.
