Thomas More won the last six meetings, including the last two seasons by a combined score of 134-19.

My roommates brother played for Thomas More when I was at Xavier. I actually got to know the guys on the team pretty well at the time, and the games were fun to go to. I assumed Mount Saint Joe's and Thomas More were in the same conference, but I guess not.

You guys should listen to the D&V podcast with Rick Broering and Mario. Rick and Dan are giving it away free. Check SvoBot's link.

The game will be played and Mario says that, contrary to message board Pap, there is plenty of communication going on between the two schools. There is no where near the rancor and disagreement that is made out for there to be. They have a lot to work out as to dates, TV availability for ESPN who would have the game and other stuff, but the desire on both sides is to play.

AWESOME!!!!

Actually, maybe not.

It's a lot more fun to banter back and forth while forming strong opinions based on wild and biased speculation. That's what message boards are for.

Thanks a lot for ruining it, MOR!!!!

Well, that's true, Brew. Reckless finger pointing, Mindless speculation, upheaval and tumult are always preferable to rational thought.

Like the old saying goes, no good stories come from a boring life.

They used to be in the same conference years ago but TMC has moved a couple of times. The one they're in now is pretty tough. MSJ has been in the same one, as far as I know, since their program started. I went to TMC and am familiar with the Bridge Bowl. Just from knowing TMC football players while I was there and since, they always took the Bridge Bowl seriously. They wanted to win badly. It was a big rivalry for them. TMC's program is just a lot better right now than MSJ.
