CSS dropped the hammer on the Pipers. Are they improved this year, or is Hamline that bad?

I think Feeney took a good shot early in the game that maybe tweaked his shoulder/arm a bit.

My God, that dime he dropped into Schwelly's hands at midfield was a thing of beauty, though. 

I kept checking in on that BU/Cobber game. It's a shame both teams couldn't lose. 
Johnnies were lackluster today. Sure, a monkeystomp, but they left a lot of points on the field. GAC had a nice game plan.
I haven't looked at the stats, but it at least felt like they were flagged less than the past few games.

Still lord of the manor.

Quote from: art76 on October 26, 2026, 12:35:38 PMGustavus at St. John's is an intriguing game this week. As was reported here on the boards earlier, Gustavus will have their #1 QB back in the saddle this week against the Johnnies. It is remembered by many here that it was only a little while ago that the Gusties upset the Johnnies down in Northfield to spoil their season. While I don't think that's a very realistic possibility because so many folks are still alive to remember that game, and will do everything possible to keep it from happening again. It might take the Johnie staff a minute to figure them out because there won't be much film from this season with him at the helm, I'll be very surprised if this game is all that close.

I'm pretty sure GAC and SJU have never played in Northfield.

Whew, I'm currently about halfway through the podcast.

The wife and I were at the Gopher VB match yesterday, and they played some Final Countdown over the PA. I immediately thought of you, Pat. 

Quote from: repete on October 25, 2026, 02:30:07 PMLooks like Gusties have their first-string QB for the trip to Collegeville. His fill-in moved to a receiver spot.

Good. No excuses when the Johnnies beat the hell out of them.

Whoa, that is big news, Oz!

Quote from: hazzben on October 19, 2026, 10:45:13 AMI initially read this as an old Johnnie pulling 4-5 cobbers on his cooler to their vehicle. lol

Lol, fair. Not my best grammatical structure.

Working grounds crew for Br. Mark for a summer, I knew every nook and cranny of campus and had some pretty reliable options. These days, it's generally a better bet to just park in the shuttle lot unless it's a sparsley attended game or you get to campus quite early.

I saw that tweet by the Oles and laughed.

• Klang (#7) is a heck of a player, but he really got away with some pretty blatant push-offs today.
• Feeney was a little off today (only 473 yards ). Could have been the wind. Also had a few drops because of the sun angle.
• Thanks to Schwellenbach for the post-game Dr. Peppers!
• SJU D smothered the Cobber run game all afternoon and really tightened up 2nd half.
• Penalties. Geez. We were doing everything we could to help them sustain drives.
• What an ideal day for football (minus the wind, but it's was calm in our seats). I ran into a number of teammates I haven't seen in years. Awesome day in Collegeville!

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.
