Psh, ain’t got nothing on waste management hall. 


jokes aside, talk about impressive. 

I think St. T moves on to bigger conference sooner rather than later.  Much sooner.

I think I mentioned it before but St Thomas will be dominating the conference along with the Dakota schools before too long. St Thomas is already beating us in most sports.

It would not surprise me in the least to see St. Thomas in the MVC in a few years...MVC+Pioneer League football like Drake and Valpo.
I think their eventual goal is to get to the level of something like the A10 or even Big East. I used to think that wouldn't work so well due to geography, but if the Big East can include Creighton (in Omaha), Marquette (in Milwaukee), DePaul (in Chicago), and Butler (in Indy), then I don't see why St. Thomas in Minneapolis wouldn't be feasible.

I know it won't happen, but it's getting to the point where a midwestern private high-quality basketball conference would be possible...
St. Thomas in a few years, plus Loyola-Chicago, Saint Louis, and maybe Dayton from the A10, and Creighton, Marquette, DePaul, Butler, and maybe Xavier from the Big East. It'd be much less travel costs for most of the schools and would still be a pretty high-level basketball conference.

South Dakota State football head coach John Stiegelmeier retires.

Makes sense, she is more familiar with the area to recruit. Be interesting how she does. Minnesota has a bunch of good freshman, so interesting if she can keep them. West Virginia isn't probably very happy.

I'm sure he's looking to move up a level, ie  a P5 conf team but Jeter does have connections in Milwaukee. I wonder if Jeter recruited him out of high school.
