This is an outrage!

Sanctions against these two ingrates should be imposed immediately. While I think permanent disboardment (not a word but should be) may be overly harsh, Amish-style shunning of them for the remainder of this week is warranted, followed by merciless ridicule after the Ramblers sweep both games.

I'm also working on appropriate nicknames for the turncoat twosome.


I think the game against Bradley on Wednesday will be tough. Not sure who’s going to take that game. I’m fairly confident we’ll beat Missouri State on Sunday though. Gentile is going to be packed, and after getting embarrassed by them there’s no way we’re taking a loss. Maybe JCT and Blers are superstitious and are not trying to Jinx us? Hahaha


I’m not saying pick history influenced my decision but I’m also not NOT saying that ;)

I’m also not so sure missouri state will be easy. Both these teams are coming in hot. Sweeping this week would be MASSIVE and give us a shot at a 3 game lead. 0-2 and we could be back tied for first.

I agree that Missouri State won’t be an easy game, they’re playing pretty well. I just think us being at home and previously getting embarrassed by them gives us an advantage. As a fan, I want to redeem that pathetic loss. I’m sure our players feel the same way.

That is EXACTLY it. My prediction in big games over there is pretty bad, so I thought I'd change it up.

JCT And Blers’ picks seem to be in line with everyone else on the MVC board. Almost nobody picking the Ramblers this week.

They think they are Duke compared to the rest of the MVC programs.


Think you mistook them for the ISU board.

Article in the Peoria Journal Star says Krutwig broke his nose in the Drake game and will play with a protective mask.
