I witnessed a true act of Benedictine hospitality today. After the game, we were trekking out to the parking field on the back route through the woods. There was an older Johnnie pulling a cooler and 4-5 Cobber students. The guy stopped and gave all of them beers for the walk.

Pat, if she can put up with your rendition of The Final Countdown, hold onto her. 

A shovel pass counts as passing yardage, not rushing yardage, but yes, Mac was definitely prepared to stop it.

Might as well just start cheering for SJU now, Hazzben, since your son will end up a Johnnie soon, anyways.

I love how we're bitching about a 62-6 game. Sure, it wasn't the prettiest and there are some mistakes to address, but that's still a thorough thrashing, ladies and gents.
This was the best Mac team I've ever seen. Take that for what it's worth.

Trap some of the heat from tomorrow!

Saturday seems like a great day to rebuild the hubs on my boat trailer and wash/wax the boat while I listen to the slaughter.

That's fair. I looked back through the footage on my driveway camera from Saturday--it was dry in Maple Grove till 5:30. I'm not sure how we "lucked out" in Collegeville.
 

Anyone done a welfare check on Hazzben???

There's no selection committee anymore, and NPI doesn't favor lopsided wins, so even if Bethel averages 100-0 wins for the remainder of the season, it won't favor them in their NPI rating.

A couple other random thoughts:
Geebli and Manns are dang good.
Drews' receivers didn't help him a whole lot today.
Good weekend for the Feeney bros--I cheered against Jett last night and for Trey today.

I almost threw in the towel but decided to stick it out, much to our daughter's disappointment. Did we come prepared for rain? Hell no because both forecasts that I watched this morning made it seem like a scattered showers at most, and SJU's ridiculous bag policy makes being prepared for weather difficult. We got soaked, but I'm glad we stayed.
Johnnie d-line made life awful for Drews, and Johnnie o-line controlled the LOS, for the most part.
Q1 ejection of 92 was bull****.
Feeney was hot, even with the rain.
SJU's punter had some monster punts today--huge asset.
MONKEYSTOMP!!!

Quote from: corn horn on September 28, 2026, 11:07:54 AMMy question, is there any outcome this coming week with the Cobbers vs St Scholastica that could at least yield them a vote or two in the top 25? I'm guessing not.

Doubt it. Beating CSS by a large margin is an expectation.
 

Quote from: sjujohnnie on September 26, 2026, 10:53:33 PMIf anyone thought the score of the Bethel/Hamline game would shed some light on the possible outcome of the St John's/Bethel game so much for that!

I don't think anyone thought that.

We've just witnessed back-to-back Triple Monkey Stompouts by the Johnnies. That's fun.
