The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

[Augieholic]

Sunday afternoon's loss to Mo West was a large reality check. The Griffons got whatever they wanted on the dribble drive and the glass combined with some above average 3 point shooting. Augie struggled to create open shots on offense and had several bad turnovers. That will happen with a newly formed team that is still sorting out how things look when they don't scrimmage each other.

The few bright spots I noticed on Sunday: Kelton Coleman made several nice plays on offense both around the hoop and on the perimeter. TeSlaa and Hastreither can knock down open shots, Ferguson had zero turnovers, and they didn't back down from a mild brewhaha after words/shoves were exchanged.

To the Black Hills they go.

Anyone know what the deal is with Hinker?

I believe it's a back injury, I'm not sure if/when he'll be able to play this season. His rebounding and rim protection prowess was definitely missed vs Mo West.

Slow start today and Missouri Western is unconscious.

I want everyone to put the word out.....we back up.

We're BACK!

NW Mo vs Augie at noon in St Joe.

I'm expecting all the property I've accumulated on Sam Rensch Island to appreciate in value many times over this season. I won't be able to watch today but looking forward to following via live stats to see how Sam, Akoi, and all the new pieces fit together.

It's still hilarious to me that this games happens the season after Billeter AND McCollum move on.

Looks like Augie gets 1st shot at the severely depleted ‘24-‘25 Bearcats in St Jo. 4 starters from last year and 2 assistant coaches went with Mac to Drake and the 5th starter is playing professional ball in Europe. Could get ugly

Your diatribe can be mirrored with the coaching change at Augustana.

You could jam up the Mississippi with all the sandbags in that post...

NW should probably just disband their athletic department.

Or "he got away with a walk". Jeff is a consummate homer for sure and I like it. Been listening to him since 1989, back when he was still learning his craft. Remember him interviewing a Buffalo Bills scout there for Corbin Lacina at halftime, he pissed the scout off by suggesting that he can't be paid very well.

Damn, I've tuned to the Fylling Station play-by-play in favor of the NSIC Streaming more times than I can count.

I hope his replacement is able to tell me that SMSU just tied the game on Andrew Peschong's 5th 3-pointer of the season.

I don't want to live in a world where "Foul, not called" is not a regular part of an Augie broadcast.

I just saw on Twitter that Jeff Fylling is taking a year off from doing Augie games.

Yes, that was extremely sad news to read. Hopefully it is just for this year and Jeff can return to regale us with equal parts useful and mundane information by next fall.
