Should Jamestown be accepted into the NSIC?

[WSUWarriorFan]

A Moorhead vs Minnestonka final would give the whole state except for Minnetonka a reason to chher for Moorhead

I felt bad for Stillwater last year, no reason to dislike them but everyone in the state was pulling for Moorhead in the title game.

lots of hockey talk here in the last couple of pages.

Jamestown has a solid Hockey team. I saw them play Waldorf in Albert Lea.

Lots of big strong fast Canadians.

Same with Minot State. Plus, Minot has Pepsi Arena at the MAYSA Complex, that place is pretty sweet. Has to be a draw compared to some rinks club teams play in. I would venture to guess the locker room for the Beavers is on par with the rink, as I would guess the Minotauros of the NAHL have a decent room.

Jamestown gets their first baseball win over Rockhurst.

1-9 on the season

Taking a look at how the coaches' vote compares to the mathematical rankings (QRF, PageStat). Some conflicts, I guess.

Class A, first round Wednesday
#1 Hibbing (138.1, 20.73)
#2 Delano (110.1, 19.44)
#3 Warroad (115.3, 20.34)
#4 Mahtomedi (110.0, 19.27)
#5 Cathedral (88.2, 17.55)
#6 Northern Lakes (91.4, 17.11)
#7 Mankato West (92.8, 16.98)
#8 Dodge County (88.0, 16.09)

Class AA, first round Thursday
#1 Minnetonka (160.2, 23.04)
#2 Moorhead (159.2, 22.77)
#3 Edina (149.4, 21.89)
#4 Rosemount (143.0, 21.71)
#5 Grand Rapids (104.1, 20.04)
#6 Andover (99.2, 19.10)
#7 Lakeville South (105.6, 19.72)
#8 Genrtry Academy (106.5, 19.65)

Also of note. For the Quarterfinals, Hibbing will be without the player that scored the OT goal, and Rosemount will be without their starting goalie due to them flipping off the opponent's fans after their wins. Suspended for one game each. Opps.......

[WSUWarriorFan]

Games start tomorrow. Some of those A games will be clunkers but I have a feeling Edina vs Anoka should be a good one.

In relevant news I did some homework and calculated the NSIC All Sports Award standings through Winter sports.

I thought it would be interesting to see where Jamestown sits in the "True" standings but also to see how they line up if you compare efficiency.
I measured this by taking the amount of points earned divided by the amount of points possible, this sort of levels the playing field for schools who don't sponsor the full 18 NSIC Sponsored sports.

The findings are about what we expected if not worse.

School	Fall (M)	Fall (W)	Winter (M)	Winter (W)	Men Total pts	Women Total pts	Total Pts	Pts Standing	Max Pts Possible	Efficiency	Eff. Standings
Augustana	28	31	35	22	63	53	116	2	167	69.5%	2
Bemidji State	6	25.5	3	7	9	32.5	41.5	15	117	35.5%	12
Concordia - St. Paul	10	30	17.5	27.5	27.5	57.5	85	5	155	54.8%	6
Jamestown	6.5	20	11.5	8	18	28	46	13	167	27.5%	16

Saw bits and pieces of Jamestown down here in Orlando playing baseball. they looked pretty solid vs Northwoods

[SW_Mustang]

Best two-win team in the conference, I'll say.

Games start tomorrow. Some of those A games will be clunkers but I have a feeling Edina vs Anoka should be a good one.

First two Class A games are done, and they were not bad ones.

Hibbing beat Dodge County 4-1. Dodge County stuck around in this one until Hibbing punch two quick ones in at the end of the second. Dodge County had what will be the goal of the tournament from Nolan Steele with a between the legs tally.

Mahtomedi beat Cathedral 2-1. Mahtomedi scored with three minutes left in the third to win it.

Sportscenter has already reposted the Dodge County goal, good chance it shows up in the Top 10 tonight

I work with someone who has a kid on Cathedral, transferred in from Monticello this year. Couldn't get by Cathedral at Monticello. If you cant beat'em join'em i guess.

Just gotta say, it is refreshing watching a hockey game and not having the advertising change constantly on the boards.

Mankato West tried to make a game of it with Delano, tied at 2 going into the third. But Delano poured it on in the third for a 6-2 win.
