    Been trying to post my preview, but the site has been giving some pushback (server error). Expect it today if we can get that right.

    Curious....if you super fans here were to rank the teams this year (based on how you think they'll finish)....what's your order? Does Mankato return to the top or maybe Duluth....or do Augie and BSU have the top spots this year again?
    Always look forward to this. When is it coming out? Thanks for all you do Matt.

    SMSU degrees aren't quite worth that much, but maybe a few Augie fans would chip in.

    Think about how good the Vikings would look on our screen!

    The new fixtures at the stadium do look nice. I snuck in for a sneak peak of the turf last night, and the goal posts really do stand out.

    Now if we could just get a new videoboard... hmm...

    Good points. It felt like a lot longer ago with Gimbel finishing up - though that was only in 2018. I must have been thinking of it in MAY (Mustang Athletic Years).

    Definitely a fan of Bouman and certainly appreciate his contributions. A real Mustang if there ever was one. Happy that he's back on the sidelines - especially after spending last year with USD.

    And yes, was definitely not impressed with last year's QB. I gave him way too much leeway during the season. Very little experience as a leader, and maybe this is just me - but he felt like one of those FBS transfers that was "too good for D2." I'm ready to move on, and will have much greater expectations this year.

    Sounds like there is a social/open practice on Monday? I'm planning to make the drive over, at least for the practice part.

    SMSU QBs... always a show. I'm hoping whoever becomes "our guy" can be a leader for a few years. Seems like we haven't really had for the past 3-4 years.

    I'm cautiously optimistic this year. Underwood impressed me at the spring game with his leadership, so I'm hoping between that and the new roster - maybe it won't be such a dull season. Then again, I thought the same thing every year since 2014, and...

    I have sneaky suspicion this will be the year of the Cougar in the South. In yesterday's Argus Leader story on fall practice the Coo are determined not to have an early season gaff that's plagued them recently. QB Mullen enters his 2nd season starting and the league's best RB Thuro Reisdorfer is playing his last college season, USF had the top defense last season only giving up 20 points a game.

    Augustana has all the pieces to repeat as the overall league champion, The big question is at QB play after 4 mostly up years of Texas gunslinger Kyle Saddler there will be a new sheriff under center, if the play is very good the Vikings could repeat.

    Don't know much about the Mavericks except their 6-5 season was probably an anomaly for the NSIC historically best program along with UMD.

    Having little knowledge of UMD or BSU, I'm sure they will both challenge for the league trophy. Thankfully our media leader Matt Witwicki will fill us in with his much-anticipated FB preview. The man put's a great deal of time for us. He would be a terrific SID.

    My guess.
    AU. 9-2, USF. 9-2, MSU 8-3
    UMD 9-2, BSU 8-3

    The growth in parity has been enjoyable in recent years, Mary, Moorhead, Northern, Wayne and Winona.
    Once it was the big 2, (UMD, MSU) now has grown to big 5.
    I tend to agree with you on USF
