The Sicatoka

At Q'pac has "trap games" written all over them given they are right before at PSU (at Nashville).

MasseyRatings.com would disagree with the Missouri State sports writers. They have UND at 9 and MoiSt* at 12 for defense. *Missouri State

That another goalie hasn't been named yet (portal or late recruit) tells me there's a rabbit to be pulled out of a hat, and Karl Goehring is the magician.

When Cruikshank was in the portal and rumored to BC, which he quashed on Twitter, I scrolled his Twitter timeline. There are no fewer than three Jackson LaCombe highlights in there. That was my clue where he may be heading but I held out hope. When Schlossman started talking up other forwards it was the final clue.

Massachusetts junior Marc Del Gaizo signed with Nashville.

This again remains "best guess" based on Schlossman articles and what else we know. Forwards: Portz Schmaltz Ford (BGSU portal) _______ (Kunz) _______ (Constantini) _______ (portal) Defense: Bast, L Ferner (RPI portal) Jandric (UAF portal) _______ (Morrow or Johnson or portal) Goaltender: Driscoll (BSU portal) _______ (late recruit or portal)

Red Wings versus Space Ghosts

So WMU, SCSU, and UMD are keeping their "extra year" seniors. Tell me how that works out when their freshmen don't get playing time and are still effectively freshmen as sophomores.

I'm tired of chatter about a name I will no longer speak. How about we talk about an upcoming game. What's the book on MoSt? Are they still short their main QB due to concussion? Stats look like they are RB by committee. And it looks like you can run at them.

Wrong comparison. Compare Johnson/LaCombe/Faber/Koster (and Staudacher and Brinkman) with Frisch/Sanderson/Kleven/Moore (and Jandric and Ferner).

The B1G regular season style of play does not translate to post-season play. For reference: See the years the Washington Capitals won the President's Trophy but were bounced in round one or two of the playoffs.

Bucci meets the B1G

After Saturday he'd have to re-find it first.

If he was in the < ahem > correct shade of green, would he be slot and used more jet sweep action?

Cruikshank to Minnesota. So now we beat him non-conference.

Otis is one of two sophomores of the sixteen total on the list.

Well, the NCAA can claim it's not money this year. They're capping all sites at 25% capacity. They're losing money at Alerus and Fargodome because those facilities could go over that by local health guidelines.

Assuming that bracket was a straight 1-16 seeding weave, 1-16 are ... SDSU SHSU JMU Jacksonville St Delaware North Dakota NDSU Weber St S Illinois EWU Missouri State Sacred Heart Davidson VMI Monmouth Holy Cross

https://masseyratings.com/cf/fcs/games?dt=20210424 Massey expects all home teams to win. Massey sees the closest game of round one being EWU at NDSU. The Massey list from expected closest to expected blowouts: EWU@NDSU SIU@Weber Monmouth@SHSU MoSt@UND VMI@JMU SHU@Delaware HolyCross@SDSU Davidson@JacksonvilleSt

Was. Fixed. I looked at the UND game and saw MoSt and got fooled by a prediction bracket. (Should've picked up the error of SDSU at 2, instead of 1.)

@jimdahl @jimdahl @jimdahl Let see if that works like this ...

How long has it been since NDSU was not champ or co-champ of the MVFC? Asking for a friend ...

Ya gotta win four games. I’d rather team feel slighted than satisfied.
