NSIC - Week 8 Chat

[Tundra_Man]

Thank you for the compliment, but I think you give me too much credit. Anything I predict correctly is more along the "blind squirrel" analogy....

[Tundra_Man]

They've at least got Augie closer to Duluth this week. I still think they should flip the two at minimum if not put Duluth a little farther down on the...

^ Got to see Luke Little in person on Saturday. He's a very talented player.

[Tundra_Man]

Only two games for me this week that seemed to be a fairly easy choice. I could see the other five easily go either way.

Augustana at Minnesota...

Augustana at Minnesota State-Mankato
Upper Iowa at Minot State
Mary at Minnesota State-Moorhead
Northern State at Concordia-St. Paul...

^ I'm surprised that "more than 8 feet from the sideline to a concrete wall" hasn't been mentioned yet.

[Tundra_Man]

I see they didn't get Wayne and Duluth's order correct either.

[Tundra_Man]

Another thing with Minot, they were generally one of the better teams in the NAIA Dakota Athletic Conference, but on a whole that conference was probably...

[Tundra_Man]

I'm rooting for them in every game except USF....

[Tundra_Man]

Agree completely. Coaches just look at records and rarely go any farther than that. Because Duluth lost to Wayne at home I think they should be ranked...

[Tundra_Man]

I know the Todd Hoffner debacle was a factor. He came in, replaced the coaching staff and then left all within a time span of about three months. That...

[Tundra_Man]

Been doing that all my life. Unfortunately it has made me fat....

[Tundra_Man]

Augustana at Wayne State - Dang tough game to pick. My heart wants Wayne, but after three solid wins in a row I don't think they're going to catch the...

Augustana at Wayne State
Minnesota State-Moorhead at Bemidji State
Minnesota State-Mankato at Upper Iowa
Concordia-St. Paul at Minn...

Not only is the NSIC all cattywhompus, but now the pick 'em is too. How in the world am I tied for first place?

[Tundra_Man]

I watched! Although I didn't know much about all the other conferences they were talking about.

[Tundra_Man]

Could only watch the first half of the USF @ SMSU game before I had other obligations to which I had to attend. Wasn't very impressed with the way the...

[Tundra_Man]

For me, this season isn't completely unexpected. Taking a year off was bound to mess with things. Teams losing a season to gel with each other, players...

[Tundra_Man]

Where on the campus are they building the rink? Will it go just to the north of the soccer field?...

[Tundra_Man]

My son's best friend is named Dawson. Kid is a wicked guitarist. Way better than I am....
